Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2014

I've got a $10 off Groupon over $30 today.

I'm thinking of buying two tickets for Vegas! The Show. They are $85 for two, will be $75 after discount.

Anyone know if this is good? Other comparable price I see is through Smartervegas $40 each. I don't know if tax or fees will be added to that at the next stage, but I'd also have to choose the date/time which I'd happily leave open at this stage.

Could anyone give me a bit of advice about alcopop type drinks.

I quite like Bacardi Breezers, Smirnoff, Hooch, that type of thing, what would be the equivalent in Vegas?

Just wanting to save my hubby embarrassment at the bar.

The main lemon one I've seen over there is Mike's Hard Lemonade. Bit like Hooch. I hadn't noticed the Smirnoff Ice was different, but I'm not totally sure if I've had it over there...well I must have I think, but not often or recently. You might like it anyway.

For some strange reason I was selected for TSA Pre-Check on the way back which meant I went in a different line at security and didn't have to take off shoes or belt or take laptop or liquids out of the bag, just walked straight through.

OH wasn't selected, but managed to get through with me on the first leg, but had to go in the normal line on the second leg.

That's good. We both managed to get that last trip.

They also have a frequent flyer scheme that you can sign up to where if you are accepted, its a light touch screening every trip.

we had the expedited TSA thing this trip - really nice not to have to offload half our stuff...it was really quick.

we looked into the frequently traveller programme for my hubby a few years ago but it seemed complicated and seemed like it was unclear when an interview would be scheduled...if we could schedule it to correspond with a trip easily enough or no...since it's not a small fee to join we ended up skipping it, particularly when we were told he should go through with me in the American queue...it would be interesting to see if anyone has done this or if it's changed.
