I have a question actually. Or some advice to ask, to be more precise.


We're thinking about booking a spa suite at NYNY but having seen some reviews, I'm not sure. The spa room for our stay (9 nights) is £1650 on lowcostusa.


I've stayed there before, in 2005 and I liked it, more than the MGM and on a level with Caesar's Palace but am I going to be disappointed? Is there somewhere else we should be staying?


We're getting married in Vegas so we'd like it to be nice, but that's about the limit of our hotel budget. We won't be hiring a car when out there, so that puts some hotels off the list.


Any advice from the Vegas experts?

Thanks. We've only been together 10 years, so it's a bit shotgun

We're flying on September 12th for 9 nights. I've been looking at the GO Mini Suite for about the same price, at the Flamingo.

We've booked! Well, flights anyway, going to book the hotel tonight. Yay! We go on September 12th, so not long to wait.

The GC helicopter rides, do they all do the same thing? We want to see the GC and it will obviously be the West Rim as it's a helicopter. I've been to Vegas before and it's one thing I regret not doing.

We dId flying over with picnic inside which was lovely. They do flights to west rim in helicopter. Flights in copter then plane or helicopter then boat it varies

Hi everyone, just started reading the thread in advance of our honeymoon next year. Planning on a couple of nights in Vegas as part of a West Coast trip.

I've started using the myvegas mobile game but not yet connected to Facebook. Would you advise a separate facebook account for this game, is it likely to post lots of stuff to my timeline and annoy my friends?

I've seen one where you land at the bottom of the GC for a champagne picnic, but I'm not sure whether we'd be able to take as many photos as we'd like.

We are looking at booking Vegas for next May.

A 4 night trip from Manchester flying with Virgin is coming out at £1000pp staying in a spa suite at the Ny Ny hotel.

Is this a fairly good deal? Has anyone had a spa suite in Ny Ny?

We have found the deal through lowcostusa.co.uk after speaking to them and looking online it looks like a fairly decent company, has anyone booked with them before? They have advised not to book a transfer which was helpful as I didn't realise how close it all was to the airport!

Another option is the Signature hotel - again around the same price. Just can't decide!
