Yes what was that all about! She could have saved some money and put a CD on, see still in MSE mode even on holiday:D

It made my ears feel like they were bleeding. I'm just glad she was worth suffering through that for.

Are taxis around the strip expensive? Hope it wasnt all of the $30!? Could you give a rough guide, say if my fiance cant walk anymore (medical reasons) on taxi fares? I mean I know you dont know the distance I'm on about, but whats the fare when you jump in and how quick does it go up? TY for any advice

I never use taxis but here is a fare finder

and another that tells you how they charge

One of my all time favourites has to be the 3 reel Wheel of Fortune slot , love it when the bonus spin comes up, I've yet to win 1000 coins though. Maybe this time round

We don't play it often...but occasionally we do.





I know, I know...I've posted it before...but it was a big moment.

To be honest I only have 2 examples to go on so far but both $25 (tip inclusive) to go from the strip to the Orleans

Having a devil of a time getting my hands on a 16Gb iPad2, phoning all 3 Apple locations every day, also Bestbuy and Frys, no luck at all. Good saving if I can get one, about £330 with rate conversion compared to £399 in the U.K.

we were in apple store fashion show mall this morning at 11am and people were queueing. They had just ran out of AT&T when I left. I was lucky to get one in LA but no 16gb when I got there so took a 32.

Awesome! Tracy's a low-stakes slot player too, isn't she? Even more awesome if that was a $0.40 bet. May it keep on coming.

It was so funny, I was playing craps and came back to see a huge smile on here face. she had been playing 20 cents a hand and doing quite well, then the lady next to her said "you should really be playing 40 cents on that" but she accidentally hit the 2 per line button so was playing 80 cents and started hitting big wins straight away. She says she won't be playing 5 cent deuces wild anymore, a monster has been created :rotfl:

Has anyone taken/used a TravelEx Cash Passport card in Vegas?
It says you can use it @ any atm or shop that take Mastercard but I just wanted to see if anyone has used one and how widely they are accepted, and if all cash machines in Vegas take them.

Thanks
