    Hi

    Can anyone advise on what the Rivieria, or the Imperial Hotel are like? Considering between the two, and the imperial is like £50 more but unsure if its worth it!



    thank you!

    both low end hotels, Riviera old and poor location, IP old and good location, but if all you want is a cheap adequate hotel room then I would go with the IP

    Hi

    is this a good deal for £903 for two people
    Birmingham Intl (BHX) - Las Vegas Nv (LAS) Departs: Mon 19 Mar 12 06:30 Arrives: Mon 19 Mar 12 18:40 Las Vegas Nv (LAS) - Birmingham Intl (BHX) Departs: Tue 27 Mar 12 07:00 Arrives: Wed 28 Mar 12 08:45 New York-New York Hotel & Casino


    As you are now asking about the Riviera and the IP what happened about this deal, I did ask where you saw it as it was such a great deal for 2 people?

    Hi
    Has anyone got any details about likely weather for next week? I've checked the weather forecast which looks ok but some friends of friends who have just returned warned that it's a getting bit chilly at night. How chilly is chilly? Is it what we would consider chilly or is it just relative? Might have to add to packing :eek:. Also visiting Grand Canyon so is extra clothing advisable for there also?

    Cheers for any advice

    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.

    General consensus is take layers as its supposed to get chilly in the evening and of course the air con in the casinos makes it a bit cooler too.

    Grand Canyon I would expect to be chilly too but it depends what time you get there but there's no harm in taking spare clothes, again to layer up.

    Have a look at this - it gives the cash amounts you will need to leave as deposit if you do not have a credit card.

    Excellent thanks :)

    Earlier in the year we stopped at the Orleans and at the Cosmopoloitan and I don't recall either reserving an amount on my card when we checked in. I have seen the subject of deposits mentioned many times on here and When we go next year I'm pretty sure I won't have a credit card anymore so I would like to book somewhere that it isn't required.

    Can anyone offer suggestions on hotels where this is not required?

    I had been emailing the Mirage whilst booking and I paid off our amount in full. I asked if there was a deposit required and she said no and that there wasnt a credit card required unless we wanted to upgrade to a suite or charge to our room, neither of which we will be doing.

    Hey everyone

    My girlfriend and I are in Vegas for a week and looking to take advantage of some of the things to do here - What better place to come to find out to do this cheaper though ;)

    We're interesting a couple of shows.. Like Zumanity for example - I've found some discounted tickets on Monday for about $90 per ticket on Row E which seems pretty decent. Any tips/tricks to get it even better?

    If anyone has any other recommendations, certainly open to ideas :)

    Thanks all!

    I've found the SmarterVegas site usually has the cheapest show offers. Here's the page for Zumanity - says from $55 but no doubt there will be taxes and fees to pay on top, but it's worth a look.
