That looked fantastic. I have never seen a light show like it. In-N-Out never looked so good:D

Hi all

Anyway...we won't be taking it back with us, so in true money saving style if anyone in this forum will be in Vegas on the 20th (we leave super early on the 21st ) we'd be glad to pass it on.

Hi we have just arrived tonight, Staying at Vdara. Room is really nice and we got upgraded to a lake view by just asking
Please can i take you up on your offer of the printer as i have a laptop but nothing to print out on. We could then pass it on as we leave on 1 st october x

forgot to mention, we had some fun on the Ghostbusters slot machine which we only found / saw in Bellagio (difficult to get on as was always busy)

not sure how long its been there and no doubt it will pop up elsewhere - 50c a spin (which seems to be coming the norm with a lot of the new 'fancy' machines - Sex in the City, Alice In Wonderland, Hangover all at similar prices though they were also variable from place to place)

bonus is that it's positioning in the Bellagio seemed to be a good place to get frequent drinks

Oooh another new slot machine to look out for.

Its funny how my tastes have changed....the first time we went I loved Cops and Donuts, looked for it everywhere and couldn't leave it alone.
Second time it was Goldfish and WOZ which I donated most of my gambling money too. Found a Cops and Donuts machine and found it slow and boring!

Last visit my absolute favs were Alice in Wonderland, Bright Diamonds, Woz (all kinds) Wild Wolf, Kitty Glitter and Bombs Away. I don't think I went near Goldfish once, think I Goldfished myself out last time.

Hey,
Long time lurker here. Thanks everyone for their contributions. Lots of useful stuff!

Just seen that the Lonely Planet Las Vegas app is currently free... although seems I can't post the link as a new user! Maybe someone else could link to it.

Thanks Superstar and Froggitt, I've just downloaded it. Also if you go to the itunes app store and type in Las Vegas there are many free apps to choose.

Just got back yesterday and am exhausted so will try to do a TR sometime soon when I've sorted some pics. Absolutely loved Aria though and the corner suite is excellent.

Glad you had a good time, looking forward to TR. Did you pay for corner suite? That's what I am hoping to get us in using $20 (maybe $50?) trick!
