Got my tickets for $ 169.85 for 2 inc taxes and fees from ticketmaster for central balcony seats , best view in da house , he is good but not worth $250 + for a ticket.

Also there are no bad seats in the Colosseum as it is designed that no seat is more than 120 feet from the stage .

Brilliant thanks.

When I tried ticketmaster it said it was only $250 seats available for teh Sat/Sun but it did have tiny wee writing saying 'other priced seats may be available nearer the time'. Wasn't sure if I was too late or too early - thus my panic that maybe weekend seats sell out quick.

I'll give it a few weeks and hope ticketmaster get cheaper tickets on.

I have the co pilot satnav on iPhone but my personal choice at the moment is satnav2 which is about £7.99 for maps of the whole world. Or you can pick individual countries for about £2.49, if you buy the former you just pick which countries/states you want to download so as to not take up to much memory on the phone. I find the detail very good and the graphics are very clear. So wherever I go in the world I have any satnav I need for a one off cost of less than £8.00

did you try changing the drop down box from the default selection "best available" to a different price, or seating area when selecting number of tickets

Though not sure if that would be TOO much of a comp upgrade. Otherwise a regular room with fountain view would be great. Do you have any pics of the view you had which you could post?QUOTE]

Hopefully I've figured out how to do this and the photos work. View from Vdara room. Sorry they're not very good, the windows were a bit too dirty for the camera. This is just one direction, the other way was the Rio and all the mountains.

My photos of my Vdara room are not as impressive but similar.

My view cut out before the Paris hotel as the Eiffel Tower was obscured by the Cosmopolitan Hotel (it was 32nd floor but cannot remember which room. Still a great view though for the basic room - maybe classed as a partial lake view although I could see all of the fountains at night. My room had no partition to separate out the living space and bedroom as some of the basic rooms have but I preferred this as the room felt really spacious.

Another Vdara question for costingbunny/ kroberts please - how busy/ noisy did you find the pool? Possible to get a chair?

Breakfast a couple of days we ate in the Vdara market in the lobby, we usually just want something simple and they had alot of breakfast pastries. My husband says the blueberry scone was good. They do fruit salads or youghurts too.
We didn't eat in Vdara for Dinner as they only have a bar. Miracle Mile is only across the road so a lot of choices in there, Rock bar food was nice but thought it fairly expensive. Earl of Sandwich is in there too.
There's a walkway through to Bellagio so will be some easier places to get to in there.

There's not a supermarket as such nearby but there's a CVS just down the road on the same side and a walgreens across the road in miracle mile. Both sell food and drink.
