    It was free all day yesterday.

    Did you have a go

    I am not sure wether to bother or not, We have been on the London Eye so the experience isnt unique and having seen the highroller it would seem that half the time you are on it the view would be the back of the Flamingo

    No, we were too knackered to trek to the strip. Staying at ElCo Cabana suites the first week. A couple of mates did the free ride though, and thought it was good.

    Doh, pulled the pf changs voucher out the bag this morning to use today at some point. Expiration date was March 31st. Oh well, might give it a go anyway.

    They do a very good set meal for 2 for $40.00 "PF Changs for 2". If you have a car go to the one on Flamingo and Paradise, usually less crowded and we find it lighter and more welcoming than the one in PlanetHo.
    Do not order more than 3 things between the 2 of you, and usually that would be too much.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    agree - even we normally stick to a main each and one side to share and have plenty left over...it took us ages to accept this and put it into practice.

    PF Chang's is our usual 1st night dinner...we always call to make a reservation before we head out to the casino after arriving, showering and changing...this time we're staying at Caesars and not Bally's/Paris/Cosmo/PH...so we are curious to see if we still gravitate over there...we have agreed we will at least make a reservation as normal and then see how we go. I'm quite intrigued to see what we end up doing. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    One thing off the shopping list!

    Can you be sure it tastes the same tho ferf?!

    I'm currently sat at Gate 55 @ MAN T3... 5 hours earlier and I would be waiting to board an AA plane to ORD. Instead it's crappy RyanAir to DUB :(

    Edit: I wouldn't normally post non-LV stuff but the same gate really brought it to mind. Wonder if we will go this year :/

    You gotta be kidding.
    We quite often see Lucky charms at circa £5 over here, but in Aldi they had them for £1.40 so I bought 3

    Taylor Hicks' last show is on 8 Apr. I haven't heard if he's moving somewhere else in Vegas or just ending the run of shows.

    I bought back 'baby rays' last year, bigger bottles of course! :D
    was $3 in Walmart....


    Stuff in Tesco is £2.99 for the 500g bottle, so I guess if your taking into account over-inflated import costs, kinda makes sense!
    Same stuff ? Yeah, exact same stuff, made over there, etc etc....


    I tried my bottles and the 2 I bought from Tesco and they are the same, also shows on the packaging...
    They been doing these sauces since last year.....

    However, if you like your BBQ sauces, which also cost a lot over in the US, then get Stubbs BBQ sauce, tis very good!
    Handy if you live in Southampton, but if not, they do mail order, and deals now and then...
