This video was taken a couple of years ago I am guessing it is even worse now

On their website it says they now close the shop for private functions and also the "stars" are, or have been touring the USA

apparently turning up when they open up about 9am is the best time to go - no queue. suits us as we're usually up and about pretty early

not bothered about seeing any of the stars, just be cool to have a look around... actually interested in buying a couple of bits of memorabilia if it's there

dont think there are many good reviews for Zumanity.

KA is great though

KA was great. Buy cheap seats.......at the front you dont appreciate the scale of the production.

Hoping to see Ka, although I'm not booking in advance (tickets extortionate) and it ends a few days after we get there so we may not catch that.

dont think you'll get cheaper than this:

will do, quite a few reviews suggest getting there early and there's not much line - even if there is it doesn't take long to get in. by all accounts the shop floor isn't that huge, but they have just opened some new areas I think.

We went in the middle of the afternoon midweek, and the Pawn Stars shop had no line at all. That was in October last year. Not sure of the date. I think you're more likely to get lines when the "stars" are at work. We recognised the bouncer on the door from TV but that was all.

Wife wants to go to a church with a gospel choir, went to house of blues in orlando, not exactly what she wanted. Any suggestions?

Another September visitor here. We fly to LA next Friday, and arrive in Vegas on the 2nd September. 12 nights.

Last year we got some really dodgy weather, sounds like today. It was around the 11th if I remember correctly. It rained practically all day. And it was actually fairly cold the next day too....well by cold I mean we could still wear shorts but only just, must have been in the 20s/70s. Not normal for that time of year.

Hope the sun is back out soon for those currently there. :j

Stoneman- Any luck with the upgrade at PH?

Yes, just asked if there was any comp upgrades to a resort room while leaving $20 clearly visible on the counter. Got 20th floor fountain view. Well I say view as the windows must be the smallest I have ever seen. I still don't rate this place, even with an upgraded room it is still small. There is no storage space. Why they have to put a useless table and chair, a desk and a fake amiour in the room beats me. There are 3 small drawers and a 3 foot wide wardrobe, that's it. We are living out of the suitcases.
Went to the pool area yesterday before it started the downpour and you couldn't hear yourself think. They had a DJ on in the top pool and the music drowned out everything, and that was a Tuesday.
Will defo never stay here again, roll on Saturday

Just to add about wifi in Planetho, Starbucks free wifi reaches into Planet Dallies and the Extra lounge. No purchase necessary. And it is very fast, even with probably 50 people using it this morning
