Tournament of the Kings at T4T $38.70 instead of $64. Sells out early so get there at opening time which I think is now 9am instead of 10.

I said earlier that T4T don't sell tickets for Human Nature and I corrected.

There was a big law suit between T4T and VegasTix4Less which resulted in VT4L being taken over by T4T so they do now sell them.

However VT4L used to sell Donny and Marie tickets, but I haven't seen them at T4T.

Many shows will book only 3-4 months out I think.

Be sure to check the links on page 1 for sites that offer discounts booking direct with the box office.

Thanks! you have put my mind at ease now. Would have hated to have booked flights and then find shows were booked out

It's a very busy time for Vegas, so probably a good idea to book in advance where you can...I think over Christmas some shows are dark - though it seems less so than several years ago...but think that they are mostly on over the new year period.

Guess who had Earl of Sandwich for lunch. I'm happy to report that it was pretty much the same as in Vegas...and I was most impressed at their queue management. I wasn't thrilled that their chocolate chip cookies were chocolate chocolate chip cookies (I even passed on buying one, me! Passed up a cookie!) but maybe another time they will have the proper ones. Thanks again for the heads-up!

Glad you enjoyed! I may have to try it again this week

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 don't mind the !!!!!! slappers, they are harmless. A couple of them posed for pics with my toy (small stuffed animal that I am sad enough to take on hols with me) last visit. Hubby also drunkenly wanted one of their t-shirts advertising girls and most wouldn't sell him one as they said they weren't allowed.

Moved to the Cosmopolitan today. Superb! There are not enough words to describe how nice the suite is.

We were upgraded to a Premium view room on the 25th floor and have an excellent view of the Bellagio fountains. I think this is the best room we have ever been in and that includes the Fortuna suite at the Palazzo.

I thought the service was good and is called Beck and Call. I called to report a blown bulb and to ask if there should have been slippers in the room seeing as there were robes. Both were delivered promptly. However I also reported that I couldn't connect to the wifi and I'm still waiting for the technician that was promised.

The pool area is gorgeous with lots of terraces on different levels so you never feel there are a lot of people there.

There is a freezer below the mini bar that you could use and there is a sink, microwave and dishwasher, but I don't know why as the only crockery is 2 mugs, 2 wine glasses and 2 high ball glasses.
