im amazed this board is still busy with the $ so high. i was going back to vegas in december this year and again in may and october 2017, these are now all cancelled.

I cannot see myself back in vegas for around 5 years now as i refuse to go and gamble with the rate below $1.60

with the rate so low a $1000 win is worth more in pounds than if the rate was higher.

Surely it makes sense for this place to be even BUSIER if the rate is worse... It ain't called Money Saving Expert for nowt

The rate hasn't been $1.60:£1 for quite some time. It must be a while since your last trip.

I can't say it's making much difference to our trip so far. I'll have to add up the extra costs when we get home in December.

very true, however i always bring dollars back with me for next trip. i havent had to buy for a good few years, however my last trip in june hit me for 8000 dollars and i only have around 2k left. so for me, i will sell my remaining dollars and simply live in hope that by 2020 i might get back there lol

So if you already have 2k in dollars from your previous trips and assuming that you got them at a rate of $1.60 to the pound that made them worth £1250, if you sold them now what are you likely to get for them? I would probably hold on to them even if you don't need them at the moment, I always keep hold of any unused dollars and euros as you invariably lose out when you try to change them back.

I have just seen this on Groupon - Glittering Lights 2016. It will be on while I am in Vegas in December - has anybody been? Any good? Ta.

I haven’t used my smartphone before in Vegas except for wifi. If a hotel wants to text or phone me whilst I am in Vegas to let me know that my room is ready, do they dial the UK code 44 (as if I was still in the UK) before the number and do you know if it would cost me anything to receive the text/call.
