"Batman" got beaten up on the strip yesterday outside the ABC Store near MGM.

Was it the Penguin or the Joker?

Tried to find the !!!!!! slappers in their usual places... failed
Found batman walking outside Caesars Palace fountain tho he looks a bit sad tho!

I can confirm that I couldn't find wally anywhere...

There's also a bus going into hyperspace just outside Paris (outside 'Chateu something'??), and Darth Vader and co seem to have all moved up from MGM to between Bills and Bally's - though maybe it's cooler than it usually is so they can stand in the sun without melting?

Keep meaning to ask, does anyone know what the work is that's going on outside PlanetHo / Miracle Mile??[/QUOTE]

The answer is out there somewhere as I read it, may have been on Vegaschatter, cant have been exciting or I would have remembered

From what I understood when I was there a couple of weeks ago, they were planning on opening the park opposite, but this isn't the actual tour around the signs. I may have misunderstood, but if anyone is planning a visit soon, I would just double check that you don't need a reservation.

I think you may be right, it is the adjacent boneyard of signs that is now open to tour through, but I dont know how that differs from the museum

To those of you in vegas at the moment (and are anywhere near the mgm grand) cant you take a look in the slot area by the loos just to the right of the buffet and let me know if the bank buster slots are still there?

The missus is desperate to know if they are still there

Ta very much

can someone please help? I'm demented looking for sub £1000 flights (total price for 2 people) from LV to Manchester. I want to go as directly as possible, are there any "best days" to get cheap flights?? anyone know any carriers that do this route direct??

Been looking for absolute weeks. Found a great flight to Gatwick but have to change to Heathrow to get the plane back to Manchester

Photome, it is going to be a patio area for Koi. It seems to be going well, but won't be open for a while yet.

Virgin go direct, we've used KLM/Delta via Amsterdam before & they are usually fairly cheap.
