My only reservation is that were going Sunday to Friday and that it may be quieter.

Girlfirend sorted out the frigin dates so we spend the first 3 nights prior to Las in NY.

Whats the nightlife atmosphere like during the week- have I dropped a bollock going mid-week

Excellent choice. Worth paying the extra for the space of the 1 bed suite if you can stretch to it. Also ask for a room on the penthouse floors for a good view.

Do you prefer the PH construction site or the airport?

Seriously though - top notch hotel that does have a few downsides, but overall our current hotel of choice also.

It will be a lot quieter compared to a Friday/Saturday night ..which for most people would be a good thing!

Actually I really like the airport view (preferred it when I stayed in Skylofts too )

hehe.... I remember in the old thread you talking about your Skylofts stay. Can't think of anyone else who posts here who has stayed there. One day ...one day....

:T Hubby has just booked us on the Thomas Cook flight to Vegas on Sunday :T

I think he paid about £950 for the 2 of us (going for 2 weeks).


He says the seats are wider now? Any views guys? Still worth turning up early to try and get into PE?


Just off to look at hotel offers - quite fancy Paris this time I think...

Why do we always leave it so late to book :rolleyes:

I'll come clean - I only stayed there for one night Awesome experience though except typically the night we stayed the MGM had a powercut.

Don't spend too much time on it...my experience is itineraries go out the window very, very quickly in Vegas. We're taking the in-laws in October for their first trip while we've been 10+ times...so we are planning that one a bit more closely than normal so we can hit the key things they want to do, but only a few things each day with plenty of time between...and even that I'm expecting to go completely astray within 36 hours.

Maybe we'll be the first to stick to ours then :rotfl:

There's definite things we want to do though:

Bellagio fountains
Shark Reef
Dolphin thing (can't remember the name)
Straosphere obs. deck (not sure about the rides!)
The Gun Range
Venetian Gondola Ride (know it's tacky & cheesey but it's got to be done)

Plus booked before we go:
GC aerial tour
'O'

Looked at a LOT of restaurants on TripAdvisor as we fancied something really decent as it's our honeymoon, but all of them have quite negative reviews as well as reviews giving 5*, so we're not going to book anything in advance and just see how we feel when we get there.

Plans and vegas don't tend to mix Ingsy :rotfl:

It is the only place in the world where even I have to leave my control freak tendencies at the airport for collection on the way home

You will probably manage to do most of what you are looking to do if you are there for a decent length of time...but be prepared that there will always be something that you want to leave for next time you visit :cool:
