Anyone know how much for taxi to palms from mgm? Also how much wine is a bottle in Alize?

A taxi from the Aria a couple of years ago was just over $10 + tip so I would reckon $12-15.

A bottle of wine starts at $80-90 for the cheapest stuff up to any price you care to name. I think we saw one at $500.

We has a 7 course tasting menu one time and the wine pairings was $55 per person.

If that's the 1 opposite the Aria on the corner by Planet Hollywood, give it a miss just been there this morning for a breakfast, disgusting, dirty cups, very poor value in my opinion.

Yes that's the one. We have been a few times for dinner with no problems so will take note in case it has gone downhill.

MIX at Mandaly Bay

Is there a dress code, I am normally in shorts and fitflops, should I put shoes and trousers on?

I'm pretty sure there is a dress code of sorts for dinner as it's a fairly swanky place. That said, I'm sure there was someone dressed very casually when we were there and I was quite surprised as it's not a casual restaurant. It may have been because they weren't very busy that night.

I wasn't that impressed with Mix. The food was OK and the restaurant is lovely with a great view, but there was nothing that would make me want to go back.

I only want to go to the MIX lounge for a drink and the view, (is the restaurant the same place) before going downstairs to the Burger bar for a burger and milkshake.

I wonder if this trip we might just manage to see anything green on our plates during our whole stay.

I love this because this would absolutely be our plan too.
