I would suggest looking at PH for stag do/30th, for me it has a better vibe than Bellagio. It has a younger crowd, a liitle bit more relaxed and of course the pleasure pit tables......

Hi all, after feedback on this deal from experienced visitors as this is a first trip.

6 of us are heading out next March for a stag do/30th birthday, deal we have found is;

Return from LGW with VIrgin 20th March returning 27th staying in deluxe rooms in the Bellagio (2 per room).

We have found this for£4960 or £826 pp, plus $20 resort fee per room per day.

Seems good to us - is this a good price?

Just managed to get on Virgin site and they're quoting £635 flights or £570 if you're in Flying Club and have 2000 miles you can transfer across (or take out Virgin credit card to get the 2k!!) so adding that to the £388, you're saving just under £200 each. Like others have said, don't stay at Bellagio on a stag do...I'd recommend Imperial Palace or T.I. for a stag do.

November / December

Hiii I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice, I'm a long term lurker but first time poster.

Fiance and I are getting married on 3rd December in Glasgow and heading to Vegas the next day for honeymoon. Been before and loved it. We had originally planned to marry there but were persuaded otherwise by our families. We would still like to have a ceremony of some sort when we're there, a vow renewal of some sort.. my question is: as we're flying out the day after we marry, we wont have our marriage certificate, or copy yet. Can we still have a renewal ceremony without that as 'proof' we're already married?

Any light shed would be extremely helpful, I've trawled the web and can't find a definitive answer!

Does anyone have any experience in swerving the APT and flying from Dublin, Paris or Amsterdam etc?

I'm just guessing as I have no experience with this - but a vow renewal is not a legal ceremony...so not sure that they would need any proof of anything...but then again, maybe they would... Interesting question....But maybe the best thing would be to pick the place you would like to have your vow renewal performed (or one of the main contenders) and ask them what would be required?

We're sure that we were given our wedding certificate when we got married - on the day...but we were married in a registry office (not for everyone, suited us perfectly) so maybe that makes a difference.

pretty sure duchy has...I'm sure I remember her flying via Dublin...is it Dublin that you clear US immigration before you depart?

I suspect if you turned up for a vow renewal with Bubbles The Chimp, they would do it.

To echo others posts - I've done The Bellagio twice and wouldn't recommend it for a younger group, particularly on a stag.

This time round I'm trying Planet Hollywood as it's got a younger vibe and is in a similar location.
I've stayed in The Mirage and that's a pretty good place for a stag party, they have a great pool scene and some good bars nearby.

Cost wise I'd think you could shave £100pp.
