Also meant to say - wa asked at Gordon Ramsey about a reservation for the following night (tues) but they said they were sold out until late thursday night so that's out.

Looking for somewhere nice for our last meal tonight as not decided on anything - any suggestions welcome! I still have a $50 restaurant.com for Mix at Mandalay bay - wonder if we should go there? Decisions decisions......

our favourite 'nice' meals on our last trips were at DOCG in the cosmo and D.Vino off the casino in Monte Carlo

We have spoken about a possible trip for OH's 30th birthday next year, or my 30th in 5 years time - just depends on how our family grows I suppose!

the table next to us consisting of an old man and his young prostitute openly chatting about the $1000 he had spent for 'some time' with her (how long that buys I have no idea!).

This blog (link posted here a while back) has this statement

I would say the average price for an hour with an escort is between $300 and $500.

So I would assume depending on "quality" it's about 4 hours

We had a fantastic meal when we went to Mix, loved it and we sat out on the balcony so the views were amazing to.

Ready for dinner and this was something I'd been looking forward to all week. For tonight we would be going to Mon Ami Gabi - and let me tell you I was not disappointed.

So glad you enjoyed it as much as you did - we really like the place...I also like the frites, though my hubby would prefer something less crispy.

Really enjoying the TR and looking forward to the next installment!

We did Mix this year for the first time. The food was OK, quite good, but we both agreed that we probably wouldn't go back. I can't put my finger on what was wrong, but it just didn't any atmosphere. MAG is far better and half the price.

We really enjoyed Envy which is a steakhouse and it's on r.com. You can get there on the monorail as it's a 2 minute walk from the Convention Center stop.

More casual and cheaper is the Harley-Davidson Cafe, but don't get steak there. Also on r.com.

What about PF Chang's at PH? Very reasonable for both food and drinks and they have a patio if you are prepared to wait for a table. We always book in advance, even if it's in the afternoon for that night and it is always crazy busy.

I know John. That is probably a very accurate description of the whole process.

He definitely speaks from experience. Good on him!!!

Re Flight Sales

I am always dubious about any thype of "sale" but it does seem like BA and Virgin really did have a sale, as was announced a month or so ago.

Thanks for the heads up whoever posted it originally I was able to get a flight for £576 with Virgin

I did see last week that they announced the sale was ending and my Kayak alert has indeed confirmed that, as the same flight is now £780,

I will take more notice of "sales" in future
