20% off on Groupon again - code Flash 20. I got the Senor Frogs yard drinks (well they're nowhere near a yard but that's what they call them). They were good last time. $28 for the 2 drinks on the offer.

We're around 90 days now from the start of our trip, so most offers are still short on the date. I've bought the Dal Toro Groupon because we liked it last year too.

Also thinking of getting Gaetano's, Spice Market, High Roller (if it stays at the Travelzoo price for our dates), and maybe Fizz at Caesars (Living Social).

Another couple of weeks and I'll be within 90 days for the full trip. I'll also be able to redeem some myVegas rewards. Got almost 400k loyalty, but I'm thinking I might struggle to use it all since most of the deals are 1x or 2/1 etc.

Couple of things we're thinking about that we've never done before...Secret Garden (2xfree tickets on myVegas), and Rock of Ages ($40 per person on Travelzoo). Any opinions on these?

Hi Lesley, thanks for the heads up! I did the secret garden in 2013 and really enjoyed it. It was a nice oasis and something I would have actually paid for. I got two free tickets from Myvegas at that time and loved it. I too got the yard drinks at Senor frogs a while back, I also got the Travelzoo high roller and Spice Market from groupon too. How did you find Dal Toro? I was thinking of this as our strip meal, but many reviews moan of extra charges. I'm confused as it seems like a service charge so it's just the tip. It does look really nice though. I've got loads of deals from steaks to Thai,lol.

For fun, in the Cosmo, Rose Rabbit Lie is a place like no other...

glad we're not the only ones to like that place... it's not mentioned much on here - bit of a hidden gem in my opinion seen the same band in there for a few years running now and they're great

For Mexican, i used to be a big fan of Diablos but not been for a few years now

I know I should google, but where is that? Venetian? Any photos of your food?

Dal toro is in the Palazzo. I think I'm gonna go for it. With that code I can get $120.00 worth of food for £36.00 :T

I just read about this on one of the Vegas Facebook groups, I cannot explain how exciting this is for someone who has been to and loved the original in Chicago!

60 years ago whenever we visited my aunt who lived in East London she used to take me to Walthamstow Market and treated me to a sarsparilla from a vendor in the market. I will always remember the taste but haven't ever seen anybody selling it for years but the nearest thing I found was Dandelion and Burdock, however, I understand that you can get sarsparilla that you can dilute. I think Tesco do it and definitely Amazon do it but it's quite expensive on Amazon, I guess it's one of those childhood memories that always sticks in my mind but I will have a look in Tesco next time I am there.:j

Secret Garden we have done a number of times...it's a nice way to pass an hour or two,and have a sit in the sunshine with a beer.
Although every time we have been,there seems to be less animals there....

Rock of Ages,again seen this about three times.I really enjoy this show.I love the 80s music that is performed to a high standard throughout the whole show.Plenty of humour in the show...bit naughty....and sexy scantily clad girls....so don't go if easily offended.

Definitely worth seeing for the cheap admission price.
