There are a couple of good ones on the market. I use satnav2 which for the entire world maps is only £8, or just the U.S. for £5. You can choose which ones to download at a time to save on storage. You do not have to use any data as the files are on the phone.

Excellent thanks Stoneman. Don't know why I didn't think of doing this before

It has been $7.95 for at least a year, so maybe they are mistaken. I'll email the restaurant manager when I get home, don't have his direct email on this little computer.

It was $7.95 last time I had it, I think that was 2 years ago, but I did wonder if they may have got it wrong

Hi am off to vegas in March, can anyone tell me which restaurant.com vouchers are best to get. So far i only have Harley Davidson and will get stripburger ones when they become available again. I am staying on the strip and will not be renting a car so pref restaurants on the strip.

Thanks

Those are probably two of the better ones to get on the strip. If you want to splurge a bit then there is Mix or Stripsteak at Mandalay Bay, but check the prices on the menu first before you commit.

Steak special at Ellis Island is now $9.99 according to Vegaschatter

unlisted steak special at Ellis Island: 10 ounce steak, potato, green beans, and a house-brewed beer for $9.99 (up from $6.95).

This is one of the things that we tried based on the great reviews and we just were not fussed about..but I know loads of people love it. To us it was just OK...decent value, sure...but better things out there for us. We go for the BBQ instead (now I have to check prices!)...as for steak specials, we much preferred the $7.77 deal at Mr Lucky's which we likely would have never tried had it not been for the suggestion of the all knowing and all powerful pebblesmax.

Although we've not had the off-menu steak special at Ellis Island we had noticed that there was $1 increase last year on the BBQ ribs/chicken platters from when we went in 2010.

Even if they go up another $1 this year its still a great deal and we'll be all over it again in a few weeks time!!
