    SO ANYWAY... :doh:

    can anyone recommend a good sushi place? :)

    Well, I don't like sushi, but I can recommend Panda Express if you like Chinese food and don't want to wait very long to get served (the orange chicken is divine) There is one in Planet Hollywood which is brilliantly situated next to the only Ben & Jerrys that I could find anywhere on the Strip (Hagen-Das?!?....PAH!!) :rotfl:
    And if you like burgers on a slightly more expensive budget than McDonalds, the Johnny Rockets place in the Venetian food court is really good. And it is compulsory to have one of the Oreo Cookie milkshakes that they do as well. We got 2 double cheeseburgers, cheese & bacon fries, onion rings & 2 milkshakes and it came to $50. A little bit expensive, but well worth it.
    I'm sure the Paris buffet does sushi as well, they had a big sea food bar when we went. Some nice person on here will confirm it.:T

    We are planning on trying Jayde Fusion at M Resort (not sure if you drive) in April but believe you are going to Vegas in April too!
    Will still post a review if we go.

    My wife likes Ondori in the Orleans, probably good value compared to some other places in Vegas, I normally get chinese in there.

    Yes I have, as have many others on here, there is also the Lasvegasadvisor members reward book which costs a bit more but I usually find it better value (do need a car to get best benefit)

    hi

    cant remeber who posted recently about usuing there lp's at hippodrome,. was wondering what the process was for usuing the lps there is?

    My sisters are going in june to london and i was mentioning there were a few rewards - a chance to save money on a meal or 2(there was a £25 food and drink credit reward)

    Now if my 2 sisters got that reward the £25 food and drink credit(1 each) could they use it together so in theory have £50 worth of credit at one meal?
    do they need an Mlife card or just an email with the code you get when redeeming a reward?
    is it 3 rewards per 30 days?
    any advice most welcomed
    thanks

    Hi guys! After some advice.

    It'll be my 30th birthday in June and I'll be going to LV for a week!!!

    Now, if money was no object, what would you do on your special day? We've talked about a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon but completely stumped on where to go for a lovely dinner.

    We are staying at the cosmopolitan.

    I can highly recommend Lakeside at The Wynn for a special dinner. The service was second to none and the food was fantastic. If you book early-ish in the evening you should be able to get a table next to the lake so you can see the light show.

    Our first trip to Vegas was for my boyfriend's 40th and we stayed at The Cosmo. I arranged a stretch limo with champagne for the airport transfers (totally over the top, but totally Vegas! :) )

    Think it was Stuie that had used Hippodrome reward.

    Reading T&C's for £25 food credit, no 9. states only one reward per sitting can be used.

    It will be not be part of MGM rewards 3 in 30 days but I don't think that will be an issue as guessing your sisters are not going to Vegas anytime soon.

    They will need to join Hippodrome Loyalty scheme (no.8) on T&C's.

    Just click on next on reward and it gives you all info.

    No you cant use 2 rewards for the food and drink credit, we tried in november

    we ended up using the £25 food and drink at helios and had one of the best steak meals i have ever had we both had surf and turf,
    fillet steak prawns and scallops (have never seen prawns as big)

    wife used the £25 matchplay on slots and turned it in to £80

    I had $50 in super odds chips but only turned them in to £10

    all in all it was a great night with a fantastic meal and well worth doing

    you can only use 2 rewards a day per person but the MGM rules dont apply.

    you have to sign up at the Hippodrome to redeem the reawrds but you can do that on the night , make sure you take ID
