Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2014

We found Bellagio to be extremely cold this trip. I swore they were trying to get people to go outside. We brought drinks out from the buffet, and walked around trying to finish them and we were freezing. I honestly wouldn't have sat at a slot machine if there was a waitress hanging around looking for someone to serve lol.

NYNY - a few years ago we got good drinks service there...we were staying at MGM.

Great concise TR. !!!!!! the portion size of those fries!
Re getting [EMAIL="r@tassed"]r@tassed[/EMAIL] in casinos. We always used to make Palazzo our first hit on first night. Walking, 20 minutes to get there, 1 hour to get back,(1 step forward 2 steps back) then telling T not to speak to me, just let me get my head down and try to get to sleep ASAP!
Can we have pics of Claudia making you a drink? Or just one of Stir bar.
Saw Envy at $69 for $150 worth of food, is it that good? Do they do Chicken as well?
I didn't think MAG took social rewards, great if they do.

Just managed to get 2 free tickets on my vegas for the Nascar race next year.

Had already decided just to go on the sunday and the choice of tickets if you only want to go on raceday is limited, so had been refreshing constantly on myvegas today as there seems to be only 2 pairs of tickets available daily.

Got to ring up tomorrow to see what the choice is, guessing it will be the cheapest poorest view there is.

Also grabbed a neon garage pass on myvegas to get access to the garages (worth $75 on its own)

not a bad afternoons work

I think ferf has been there, but from what I could see when we were in the infield looks a good view from anywhere in the grandstand

You have to exchange your RCs at Paris TR booth pre-meal for MAG. You get change refunded too if you don't use it all but takes a few days.

I only have the missus wrestling with an espresso martini in stir they have another lovely barmaid called Sarah now too - she does the pool bar too. It's good they employ people with manners and a smily happy attitude! Makes a difference! Claudia did us a massive favour on the last night which was good of her. Love that place

Here's the Envy menu. I get used to being treated as a bit cheap for having Travelzoos etc but the guy serving us was top notch! Was a great experience even if there were a lot of fries went 6:30pm midweek and was worried we would be the only people but there were quite a few in there. Mostly business people it seemed http://cdn1.buuteeq.com/upload/21759/2014-09-envy-dinner-menu-1.pdf they do a chicken and just bear in mind all the steaks come with sides. The internet menu doesn't mention that! We got full meal each, a starter to share and a bottle of decent wine and it still fell within the voucher, tho we tipped etc. definitely recommend it!

We will tell you about our Paris adventure some time. Not our finest moment so don't want a written record lol

The MSE forums were subject to a huge spam attack this morning with hundreds of posts across all the boards by newly registered users. It's something to do with kitchens.

The forum teams are playing with spam filter settings to try and get rid of the spam. That's why we're seeing all the !!!!!!! Discussed in the site feedback board.
