    Congratulations mrseyes
    Won trip a while ago myself and I was a nervous wreck but the good folk of MSE soon put my mind at rest and I had a fantastic time, the only gambling we did was a few dollars on the slots with free drinks too.
    What hotel are you staying at? We stayed at the Luxor and it was great.
    Have a great time

  • wow, well done! Hope you enjoy yourself. Am sure there are many other things you can do other than gamble. I assume since you're mrs there's no point in visiting the chapel of elvis!

    What a fantastic prize!! I've heard that there are some great cabaret shows there. And the land that Las Vegas is now on, used to be owned by the Indians so there might be some nice shopping there.:T :T
  • well done, lucky, lucky you :T :T

    Vegas is a fantastic place to visit. I'm very jealous :D

    You can gamble as much or as little as you like, so don't worry about that. The hotels are amazing, and you could spend a day looking round each one. Where are you staying?

    I stayed at the Luxor but my sisters have been back several times and have stayed at The Bellagio, The Aladdin and Caesars Palace. They are all FANTASTIC, out of this world. Vegas is an experience like no other. You will love it. Don't forget to visit the factory outlet shops etc and a trip to The Grand Canyon is an experience not to be missed if you can afford to do it.

    I didn't have much money to gamble when I went, but loved watching everyone else. Everything is really cheap out there.

    oops, almost forgot to mention - the food is out of this world, be prepared to come back fatter than when you went. The 'all you can eat' breakfasts and buffets are brilliant value for money. We used to choose one a day and didn't need to eat for the rest of it ;)

    As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan and would love to go back. I could drone on about it for hours, but will shut up now :eek:

    Have a fantastic time, and make sure you come back and tell us all about it :D:D

    If you don't gamble Las Vegas is the best place for a MSE to go. You can go in the casinos and get fed, drunk and entertained for free because they try to lure in customers to gamble. If your strong willed you won't end up spending much at all.
