Have a look on Viator.com. Not sure if they do heli over the strip trip, but we have used them for elsewhere in the world for trips and they are great.

I've just booked Legends in Concert Show at Harrah's thru Viator. "Special Offer" price for two tickets, free VIP seat upgrade and pre-show buffet at Harrah's Flavors restaurant came to £78! Bargain, I thought!:D Mixed reviews about the buffet on TAdvisor but standard tickets alone were £32 each without seat upgrade or buffet. Sure we'll find something.

Also booked Absinthe (through Ticketmaster) and the "vegval" code worked great - took off $20 per ticket.

Midgebw - checked out their helicopter trips and prices start at £44.86pp for the Nightime Strip trip. (Best to sort your prices from low to high as some of the heli trips are pretty expensive.) www.viator.com

I came across his review of the Emperor Buffet at Imperial Palace (in summary, food is great, decor sucks!) which made me quite keen to give it a go:

I have no personal experience with the IP buffet and have no opinion on it, but isn't that blog owned by Harrahs/Caesars?

Looks like you're right - I hadn't noticed that!

joaniemerc, it's not Legends of Las Vegas, it's Legends in Concert which is an international show. They have tried own website and you can check who will be performing on your date a couple of months beforehand.

Last time we had Liberace, Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. As usual it was a very good show. We also did the VIP seating and dinner and got seats front row centre which were great. It was through a Travelzoo offer at a total of $90 for 2 inc ticket fee (£58).

The Emperor buffet is probably the worst buffet on the strip and I would avoid at all costs.

The buffet that is included with Legends in Concert is at Harrah's, not the IP, and it is decent. Not the best, but quite good especially for breakfast.

joaniemerc, you don't have to have the buffet on the same night as the show. You can use it within 7 days of the show, either before or after.

We had planned to have dinner after the show, but we were still stuffed from our Stripburger than afternoon. We used it 5 days later, which happened to be Mother's Day, and there were loads of extras on the menu.

just booked 3 tickets for Jersey Boys for my christmas holiday trip.

Used discount code '40jers' on ticketmaster which reduced front orchestra seats from $170 (incl tax) to $117 (incl tax). So a saving of $159 overall.

Code seems to work any day up to the end of the year and you can select your seats rather than being allocated them. (NB to do this you need to use ticketmaster.com not the ticketmaster link from the Palazzo site).

Tip - Also if you book on ticketmaster.com, you can get front orchestra tickets in the centre block (section 2) in rows H-J which are VIP tickets via the Palazzo link.

One more show to book - thinking of going to the Michael Jackson Cirque show which will be on tour in Las Vegas while I am there.
