Do I dont I

its only a $10 saving, it will cost way more than $25 for 2 breakfasts,once we add in desserts, and hot chocolates etc etc, but we are only at Flamingo and we have always fancied trying it.

you just pretty much summed up the conversation I had with my husband last night except we are staying at Caesars and we have been there before, but not for breakfast.

we figure that it will seem like a 'cheapish' breakfast on the day for what it is...we'll have long forgotten about the $15 we spent for the Groupon so it sort of doesn't count and will seem like a 'free' $25 on the day. AND since we don't do the breakfast thing that often in Vegas anymore it might be nice to sort of encourage us to do so...thinking maybe our first morning we will wander over on our way out...now we just need to be sure not to overdo it with the first night dinner.

It's all about the justification.

guessing even the breakfast meals are large.

we do always have breakfast and miss lunch so this would make a special breakfast as we usually have cheap buffets

tempted :cool:

gold star in justification for you!

I do hope the patio is open...having breakfast on the patio at Mon Ami Gabi (with gift card deal Luci posted ages ago) was absolutely lovely...patio at S3 won't be quite as special but we have sat out there both times we have been there for dinner and it was really nice to be right on the strip.

53 days?:eek:

Yes. Not our first 50+ day long trip either.

We rarely stay on strip these days, probably only a few days each trip, and we love the fact that we can take our time and really enjoy all Las Vegas has to offer.

Which hotel? £25/night seems good value for many hotels.

It's the NYNY, just the basic room but it's plenty big enough and we had no complaints (bar me being a little upset when the cleaners came on the last morning they didn't give me any fresh toiletries to steal ) It's not so much the time on the strip, there's always something to do! It's just the cost of what we'd do for the extra days Although a lot more planning is going into this trip, now we kind of know the lay of the place, so a stretch in the budget might work. Still at least a week until we book anything, mind!

53 days in Vegas or anywhere on holiday sounds like bliss, Pebblesmax!

ETA: Don't know about anyone else but I like seeing peoples Vegas photos! So if you scroll by the endless pictures of my (awesome) dog, there's lots of Vegas photos (mostly food) on my instagram

I LOVE Vegas pics! Thanks for sharing.

Your dog is an Akita x Husky? One of mine is an Akita. Wonderful breed.

I saw that too - but Tix4Tonight seem to indicate they have availability about 50% of the time so I am curious what sort of discounts they normally offer...I think we would like the show but probably would not be gutted if we missed it so if decent discounts crop up we might wait.

If anyone going in the next few weeks is at Tix4Tonight anyway and wouldn't mind checking and reporting back that would be appreciated.

Great photos! Love them. And it's no mystery why there would be many photos of your dog - that is one gorgeous pup.
