jemmaali, if you mean the Jazz Brunch at Wynn, HERE is a link to a report from a Vegas regular,

It's nice to be able put a face, to the name of the guy that triggered a spate or trippies on trip advisor

I can't get holiday insurance to cover anything to do with my heart, everything else is covered as normal. Does anybody know what would happen should I (extremely unlikely) have a heart issue while on holiday in the US.

It won't make any difference to my trip but just curious about the treatment or lack of it without insurance.

Try here-- freespirittravelinsurance.com. I used them when we went to Spain, they were the best cover for my husband's heart complaints.

this dollar rate is starting to do my head in, I dont normally let it worry me and have been when it has been below 1.3 to the pound

so much so am looking at ordering, checked out fair fx but have found a better rate at the currency club. https://www.thecurrencyclub.co.uk/home.do

they dont appear in the travelmoneymaximiser
thanks

Read the Crown Currency washup, about what level of FSA coverage they had, and then make up your own mind. I only exchange for cash in hand nowadays.

I know what you mean, I was lucky with crown currency and got quite a few dollars at very good rate, but does make you think.

to be honest i dont understand all the FSA regulation etc

Ditto...but the last time I can't remember exactly how it worked but I ordered for delivery on a Monday knowing it would likely turn up on Saturday (it did)...I think it was orders for delivery on Tuesday or Wednesday that were the first that didn't turn up and we know how it turned out...that was too close for comfort and so like Froggitt it's strictly over the counter for us now.

Also, 24 hours from now our plane should be landing in Vegas. It has not yet fully sunk in...but I do think that Virgin's twilight check-in is the best idea ever...more airlines should offer something similar.

Can anyone tell me if there is a current Restaurant.com promo code? I haven't seen any for March.

The last ones I had expired 6th March.

Ooooo loving this thread hi my fellow vegas addicts I am going in May for my hen!!! Soooo excited been twice before, I go for nightlife and pool parties, anyone done the brunch at the Wynn? Good value??
Also what are these reward butcher things is there anything I can get before I go?
I work in travel for a tour operator and happy to give advice in hotels etc, just looking for some mse tips to get the wow factor!!! Xx

I didn't realise there was a Jazz Brunch at Wynn. We have been to the brunch buffet, on Saturdays and Sundays till about 3 or 4pm. It's really really good. Champagne bump is additional $12, so cost will be about $95 for 2 including champagne and tax. I think it's worth it - food is delicious! And the champagne (sparkling wine) is rather nice and flows quite freely! :beer:
