    Been looking around,was wondering if anyone knew best place to get Human Nature tickets,does it sell out and would they be cheaper to get when there? I must just add this is my main reason for going to Vegas is to see the lads as been a fan for years(sad i know but always loved my boybands).But i also like to save money!;)

    Goldstar have discounted tickets - not sure if there are better offers out there though...

    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    New offer from Platinum from $89 a night till September. This is a great deal. Free wifi, gym, no resort fee, and stunning suites.
    I am in turmoil as I write this. We decided that we would stay on strip because I wanted a holiday that I didn't have to get the car out every time we went out at night so got Planetaladdinwood at $69 a night when I had been quoted Platinum at $109









    Can I have my commission now please

    The commission will pay for carhire-which you'll need for Tracey's shopping anyway ;) Or maybe just a few cabs ?

    Seriously though isn't it just as easy to use cabs in the evening in Vegas ?

    Travelzoo have Human Nature tickets for $38.50 including taxes.
    There is the ridiculous $2.50 will call charge for international visitors to add......if you tick that box......why do they add that 2.50 when you pick up yout tickets,just the same as an American would.....annoys the hell out of me does that one.Anyway,great show for not a lot of money.
  • I'm new to finding best hotel prices, and new to Vegas, and would be grateful if someone can advise if this is a good deal, as there seem to be so many offers around, its hard to choose.

    We want to book 2 nights from Tuesday 4th Sept for 2, in middle of the strip, and found Ballys North Tower for $104 total incl tax, from their web site.

    Please can anyone give opinions if this is good deal, or have other suggestions?

    Is it possible to book including breakfast? Couldn't see option on web site. We will have hire car to park.

    Just want a reasonable hotel handy to everything, we're in our 50s, we won't be gambling much, just enjoying the sights. Would love a view of the fountains, but most too expensive for us. So Ballys seemed a good option. Thanks for any advice

    $50 a night for anywhere on the strip is good, may not be the best, but you are only talking about £70 (for 2 nights) so its hardly worth worrying about.

    Hotels in Vegas dont do B and B except with the rare exception when offers are on for free buffets.

    you dont pay for parking (tip the valet if valet parking)

    Have you read the first page

    Why only 2 nights? and as it is only 2 nights why not push the boat out a bit and go for a better room/hotel

    If you can splash a bit more cash you have a lot more options. You may like Vdara hotel which is £140 for those nights on lowcostusa. All rooms have a kitchen area & it's very modern & clean. It's a non smoking non casino hotel but connected to bellagio hotel. I stated there in the most basic room & got put on 32nd floor with view of bellagio fountains! For that price it was a result!
