    Hmmmmmmm, based on that deal stuff above, looks like the Tropicana has 'Suites' for $99, and are available for 4 of the nights i am there..... although i booked my room through Netflights.com , i wonder if i book 1 room now, they might just move us into that room for the whole week when i come to check in ? (check in on a friday, book a suite for the tuesday)

    I've posted infrequently on this thread about my stag weekend in Las Vegas next year. Now as you can see the stags are gradually sending money into a savings account myself and my bestmen have opened. Not sure on where I would like to stay yet? but had an enquiry from one my mates today about drinks prices, its been a couple of years since i last went? Could anybody who has been recently update on how prices are currently?

    Thanks

    drink prices really depend on what and where - you can find cheap bottled beers various places, some cheap options for things like small margaritas...but normally ordering from a bar you'll be looking at an average of between $6-$15 depending on what you want. Clubs, I would imagine - having never been to a club in Vegas - are probably even more...probably why some people actually consider bottle service a good idea.

    Of course, if you're gambling - drinks are free (other than the tip for the waitress).
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    MGM studio 54 was £8 a bottle of bud
    TABOO and moon more like £12 a bottle. Table service is good but you got to keep ordering or they will boot you off table

    Thanks for that, think we will be mainly staying on strip. I do fancy a night down town though, is there a big difference in prices? Favourite bars of mine were Mixbar (top floor of Mandalay) and Redsquare also in Mandalay. Anybody ventured to these haunts who could update me on drink prices?

    Everyone check your PM box and if you're full have a clear out if you can.

    This is my way of not calling out the person that I would like to send a PM to. :)

    $300 for a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne at the kind of places stags usually go to :A

    aww, and here I thought this was such a good plan. ;)

    Also, not sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but maybe.

    $7 for $14 worth of frozen yogurt/smoothies - seems they have a location in the Miracle Mile shops.

    If it was good to September, I'd probably buy one.
