    Thurs 9th - Me, the wife and my dad got the All day buffet pass at the Excal, had brekkie which was alright to be honest,
    shame they didnt do baked beans!

    Americans don't do baked beans for breakfast...I've lived here for 10 years and I am only just now accepting that it is actually not a bad thing...the first time I saw baked beans on a plate with eggs and bacon I screeched because who DOES that?! That's just craziness. :)

    Stopped at In-n-Out Burger as i think Stoneman recommends it! :):) nice
    basic menu, but my god do there burgers taste good!

    Loads more options on the secret menu - worth checking out for next time.

    And yeah, drinks in casinos are expensive - that's not 'normal' US pricing, I assure you.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Looks like the same set (I guess it would be) as they showed on Sky the other night from the o2, It keeps getting repeated for anyone that hasnt seen it

    A very scaled down version of the same set. I am glad I didn't see the Sky1 version before we saw the real thing at Caesars, would have felt like I had been cheated, wow what a set!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Evening All,

    i'm off to Vegas with my wife this Sunday, stopping at the Bellagio.
    I have seen a few reviews on Tripadvisor that mention the fact that on check-in the reception block an amount of money on the Credit Card, ranging from $100-200 per night. As I'm there for 11 nights it's going to be a pretty big kick in the wallet!

    Is this negotiable?

    If it was you just out for a run, do you know about the organised runs Nike organise? Last time we were over they were weekly at 6:00pm up/down the strip. Everyone catered for from about 1 mile runners upwards.

    Who in their right mind would want to run the strip at the hottest point of the day. I run every day when there, Platinum to Sahara and back at about 7am, stay on the Wynn side of the street and you are in shade almost all of the way

    Congratulations to you and your wife Stuie and the report was a great read. We flew back from Vegas on the day you went out and we were also in seats 61 A and C, how weird is that, hope we didn't leave too much junk in the seat pockets lol

    I know people have asked similar questions in the past - although I can't find the posts - but is there any way to book the KA tickets with a UK credit/debit card and address? I'm sure I remember someone saying last year that you need to phone up?

    Many thanks.
