Hi

Hope you dont mind me posting on this thread. Im planning my first trip to vegas to get married in Nov this year but having real trouble choosing between hotels. Am stuck at the minute between Planet Hollywood and the Mirage. Was considering cosmopolitan to although im sure not many will have stayed there yet. Does anyone has experience of these hotels or can recommend a good one. As its my first trip im determined to get it right as my recent holiday this year was a disaster!

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Mirage PH and I would expect Cosmo to be good standard hotels that wont disappoint you. None are in the expensive category eg Wynn, Bellagio, Venetian.....none are in the cheap/risky category eg Trop, Strat, Circus, IP.

We stayed Mirage the first time, and its been refurbed since then, and it was nice when we stayed.

IFE is mentioned a few times also for Virgin, but that could happen on any plane with any airline. We didn't have any problems on Virgin and can't say that we noticed anyone else with problems. Someone on our BA flight had problems, but we only know about that as they asked us to move to club, or we would never have known....

Only non-working IFE Ive ever had was on Virgin Nova (ie Virgin tourist 747, rather than the business fleet that fly out of Hrow) plane.

Hi all,

Following on from my initial post this morning...

What is the best method of accommodation for the 3 of us? (3 men aged 20-30)

Do hotels on the strip cater for 3-bed rooms?

Cheers guys

Some hotels have a rollaway (in addition to two queens), and there may be a supplement for it.

Id go for two rooms.

My turn to comment on Virgin

Seats are three across so if you are an even numbered group you will have a stranger next to you

Except at the back of the plane where the rear four rows or so are only two across.......not sure if theyre charging more for those rows now.

Lots of negative comments ref BA 777, Am I right in thinking that BA have not used 747s on the Vegas route before but will be after june 1st and they will have the latest IFE ?
