    I would normally be with Duchy and recomend Paris, but if you are coupling it with Cosmo then they are almost opposite each other in which case I would couple it with NYNY so as to be a different part of the strip and save £100

    Photome that's exactly why I am hesitating about Paris seeing as it is so close to Cosmo. Rooms seem more modern in NY NY too.
    Thanks for your replies

    I have just booked a couple of seats for end of this month but am a little concerend that they dont give you seat numbers, only a voucher to be exchanged at the box office so not sure if seats will hav been assigned (ie best available) or you get whatever is left on the night!

    this is the reason we have never booked through Best of Vegas...I think it does say that you will be assigned the best available seats at the time of your order, but I like to know what seats we are getting before committing when we're booking in advance. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Has anyone bought tickets from tix4tonite to see Absinthe and if so how much were they?

    not your question, but based on our experience you may want to get there quite early - we got there just about 6 for the show at 7 and they had already opened the doors, not that many people in and we still got good seats but the general admission nature of the thing did mean that the vast majority of people were there very early and it filled up quickly (I was a bit surprised, I thought more people would leave it to later).

    also, the seats are very uncomfortable and close together...we loved the show, but really hated the seats...would still recommend the show whole-heartedly, but be prepared for a numb bottom by the end.

    And, it's a lot more...adult than we were expecting - we knew it was a bit bawdy, but it was very much more so than we had expected...it wasn't an issue for us at all, but we said after that we were glad this wasn't a trip with the in-laws as we would have taken them...and I would probably have died right then and there as some of the topics discussed weren't things I would want to sit next to my MIL while watching.

    AA have one way flights for as little as £25. But you could try Kayak
    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.

    Has anyone stayed or spent any time in Primm? Any advice on hotels or shopping? We're stopping there for the night on the way to vegas.

    We've not stayed overnight as it's only about 45 mins from Vegas, but we have made a few trips there over the years...stopped this last trip and had a good time in the casinos and found a few things in the outlet mall...it is not really that big and it's a circle, so you can start at one end and work your way around...I wouldn't necessarily think of it as a place to stay overnight unless Vegas rates were crazy or something.

    The Bonnie and Clyde car is gone now.

    I just noticed that First Food and Bar at The Palazzo has been added to Restuarant.Com http://www.restaurant.com/rdc/first-food-and-bar-las-vegas-american-restaurant-rid=457859?&mcn=00162483

    This was on our list of places to try in April so a wee bonus that we can save some money! There is also no alcohol restrictions on their vouchers and their cocktails look too good!! :beer:
    Lucky wins - Rituals Beauty Advent Calendar; Starbucks Coffee & £20 Gift Card; Amazing Hen Weekend at Dunblane Hydro; Heat Magazine Book Bundle; Le Crueset Goodies :j

    Wishing everyone some magic fairy pixie dust for luck!
