I'd call the consiarge (sorry in a rush can't be bothered to look up the spelling) at the Trop -they can probably recommend someone.

Whats the best way of doing this, looking for a mobile hairdresser to come to our hotel room and just style there hair?
or should they go out somewhere and get it done ? (could be 3 or 4 women....)
our hotel is the Trop, and in terms of space for a stylist to come to the hotel, i have a SUITE, YES A SUITE!!! woooohooooooo !!!!!
or do hotels have there own stylists ?

When me and the now wife got wed last october she used - http://www.glamsquad702.com/index.html after i saw someone on here recomend them. She had the owner James come to our room at the Sig and he did a mint job and the price was really reasonable for what he did!!

Has anyone seen tournament of kings or greg london's impressions that rock, and/or seen tickets for them at tix4tonite?

I finally persuaded OH to see cirque (love) but only if we go to a show he wants to see, which are the two choices above. But i can't find any discounts for them before we go

We've seen TOTK a couple of times, never seen discounts for tickets, but I think we only paid about $65 a ticket anyway and we've been near the back, and the front row and had a good view either way.
Be warned though, if you sit at the front, the horses can kick sand up and - unfortunately for DH - it can land on you chicken dinner.
BTW the meal isn't bad, but you do have to eat your main with your fingers (it is supposed to be medival times after all). It's quite a good show, it has a kind of "It's A Knockout" comedy sort of feel to it, but unfortunately no Stuart Hall.
Oh and it's much better than Cirque "Mystere"

Just back from my fifth trip. Without my luggage. AA cancelled our flight from JFK to LHR, rebooked us but forgot to actually put the luggage on board. There were a lot of angry people at baggage claim this morning. As yet, I've not received any apology so I shall be writing a strongly worded email!!

I think I'm done with Vegas now. As much as I love it, the trip this time was exhausting. We were hassled All. The. Time. I obviously don't look like a local (I'm extremely pale - SPF 50 is standard for me!) which meant we were followed, yelled at, stopped from walking along the sidewalk - all to get us to buy their tours/club tickets/whatever the hell else. We tried to ignore the hustlers most of the time, but when they realised that we wouldn't play along, they'd start insulting us and my husband would start to lose his temper.

Anyway, I will try to do a trip report as we did get to do some cool things (Neon Museum being the BEST thing ever). But for now, I'll have some more caffeine to stay awake

We have been in Vegas for 5 days and can't say that we have been hassled at all. There have been a few occasions where we have been "offered show tickets", but a polite No Thanks and carry on walking and they haven't pushed it.

Even the !!!!!! slappers seem a lot less aggressive. They aren't shoving the cards in your face as they were a couple of years ago. A guy hubby works with asked him to take back some and we practically had to ask for them as they weren't even holding them out for you to take.

There are a few water a dollar a bottle people in different places from the usual bridges.

i'm sure we've seen TOTK at a half price booth (or in some variation like a '2 for 1')

we've seen it - i enjoyed it, but i'm a guy with the spirit of a juvenile (whether that makes a difference)
