Wont be long before we're talking about imploding Mirage and TI to make way for a modern mega-resort.

i doubt those 2 will go any time soon , while The Trashy Castle is still standing. Ballys is a old man too but it never gets mentioned for demolition .

Oddly enough I really like TI and The Mirage, especially Carnegies Deli...I hope they don't go, but I can't pin it down why I like them so much???

i tried to book tickets for the blue man group via the venetian web site but it seems it wont let you if you are from the uk any ideas how to do it or would it be easier or cheaper to wait till we get there

i like the mirage cos it has 'Californian Pizza Kitchen' --- Mmmmmmmmmm

TI isn't in that bad a state either - we stayed at a petite suite and it was fantastic for the price we managed to get

re: Blue Man Group - best thing is to just ring them I would suggest I use '1899' which costs 3p per min (*i think*), but think Trets mentions another one in the first few posts

remember to preceed the box office number with "001" (international dialing code for America)

We bought our on the day we went to see the show, in the lobby of The Venetian, there were plenty of seats left. We bought the most expensive tickets, which i wouldn't recommend. It's a small theatre, so you don't need to be sitting near the front. Also, they come wandering around off the stage and they freaked me out a bit because i thought they were going to make me go on stage with them.... :eek: :rotfl:

We are flying Contenental from Belfast - New York, New York - San Fran, then Vegas - New York, New York - Belfast and i am having the air miles credited to my Virgin account instead of Contenental (because we never use them!). Will i still get the full allocation of miles because it's a partner instead of a Virgin flight? Or just a percentage?

Guys Im staying in the stratosphere when I go, does anybody know how much it would cost to make a call back to a UK landline from here?? I would use my Laptop but apparently theres no wireless in the hotel!

Yes, you get full millage because this route is a code share
