Keep reading about "ends of the Strip" and people finding it a pain to go from one end to the other. Going to Vegas for the first time in December and just wondering how long is the Strip? I'm imagining a couple of miles..........:o

From the Strat to Mandalay bay is about 4 miles.

As previous poster says its the in and out of casinos etc that adds the miles. All the casionos/hotels are huge and the distance between them may look short...but its not

I am very lazy though and always have a car, I have driven from one casino to the next when there is only one casino inbetween. Valet parked at both, otherwise the walk from the self parking would not make it worthwhile:D

I didnt know you could sign up online for the riviera, although I assume you will still need to go the members desk to get your free buffet coupon?

I have a t-mobile pay as you go sim, and I can get unlimited data for $1.50 a day. I had to go to the shop on Flamingo to get them to set it up for me, but after that it was easy. Once the 24 hours are up, you have to reload the bundle, so it only charges you for the days you use. I have an unlocked HTC Desire. There is a T-mobile app too, so you can keep track of your credit.

Hope that helps.

Do you have a link to it please? I can't seem to find that particular one

Thanks for your help

Southpoint are currently running a 'Cash is King' promotion. Every night in August they have a draw 1st is $10000 or $20000 if you are present at the time its called and 9 x$1000 runners up prizes. Its free to enter with players card you get 5 free tickets a day and you can earn more tickets if you gamble.

Entered every day so far (4 of us) and checked website this morning and yippee mums name is on!!!:j Its not the big prize but its $1000 for free!:T

On another note the designer shop next to saks off 5th has a yearly 70% off sale it starts today (8th) for a week. Its a genuine 70% off as I have been in earlier this month and prices are ok for designer but will be a good buy with extra off if there is something to suit. Obviously only good if you're here this week.....

Went to Penn and Teller last night (been once before) its not a show I would see twice but my son wanted to see it. Again just ok in my opinion ( audience seemed to enjoy it), got his pic taken with Penn. Got tickets on BOGOF with MRB wouldn't have paid anymore.

Its HOT!!!

Sadly It's a chicken and egg thing. That's why I ended up going for help. You should be able to download the app when you are in the USA, but not here. I can't update my app here even when it tells me one is available.
