My husband has always wanted to see them - I'm not that fussed. I'll check out Ellis Island - thanks for the info.

We are from Glasgow - hello there. Thanks for the advice - will certainly take onboard. Need to watch the coffers from what I can gather from everyone.

hi
and thats what the forum is for offering advice and hopefully save money !!

are you going direct with thomas cook?
my brother and i flew direct with them, glasgow-vegas direct, was good, but after 6hours we got a bit crabby and are we there yet!! lol

are you a fan of titanic? my brother is a big fan of the film and we noticed the luxor has a titanic Exhibition , we paid at the show desk but im sure tix4tonight would have cheaper tickets.

I know its not for everyone but my brother and i always like seeing the vegas sign and taking some pics the good part its free and maybe a 15 min or so walk from the luxor

drive to LA for 3 nights

Are you doing your homework on the Los Angeles area? It's vast and varied, so you'll need to set some priorities for things to see and do.

We hope to go to Disneyland....hubby wants to see the Star Wars thingy!!! Apart from that we thought we could drive to Palm Springs and Santa Monica for day trips - we've booked our hotel already in LA - extortionaite rates I may say. Any suggestions???:D

Hi bobbyhibs....no we are going through Expedia Glasgow/London/LV. That's good to know about the Titantic - would be good to see the exhibition. Also fancy seeing the Vegas sign and not as far as I had initially thought to walk and it's not as if it will be boiling hot in February so don't need to worry about heatstroke:rotfl:

All good ideas IMHO but so much depends on personal tastes. BTW Palm Springs is over 100 miles from central Los Angeles. Map: https://goo.gl/maps/jW9ig7eSxvE2

Maybe open another thread if you want to get some more ideas and information?

ah no worries, was a guess really in regards the flights!

the sign, as i said, its not for everyone but hey its free !
pretty easy to get to also.if you are outside the luxor, walk towards the manadaly bay, its pretty straight path over a couple of wee roads, walking past the manadlay bay of course. use google maps which was a help My brother and i walked to it from the mgm in june(we went about 8am though) and well we walked cos we needed the excersise!


another good thing to see its the bellagio fountins, which are also amazing to see

I didn't enjoy Blue Man Group but wouldn't put you off them. My SO said he would rather have his teeth pulled out without anaesthetic before he saw the show again. We saw it for free.

There are lots of great shows to choose from. Check them all out and get a good one from tix 4 tonight.

We saw the blue man group, thought it was hysterical.
