    Also - pebblesmax, are you the pebbles I have met - from OpenVegas, or are you a different pebbles? :)

    Hi ferf, yes it's the same pebbles. I couldn't join up here as just pebbles, so added my second cat to my name. Will you be there in November again this year? We are booked from 4th November. Also hoping to get there in May/June all being well.

    Done what Ferf said[post 437] about changing cash.With Travelex, pricepromised it with Thomas exchange. Worked very well and quick. Travelex sending me a cheque for the difference. Not a vast amount but its nice to get something for nothing. Now picking dollars up on Sunday at Gatwick.Thanks Ferf!

    I am with others to....we get there usually around late afternoon and keep going as long as possible, then crash about 9pm (or before). Usually fine after that, dont know where you got the 3 days in from pink.

    have a great time and forget about shopping on the first day.

    Well - hi! Very nice to see you over in these parts. November is probably not going to happen for us this year as we're taking my husband's parents - so planning on going a bit earlier when it will be a bit warmer - late September/early October I think. We will be there 3 nights in June though -the 18th, 19th and 20th from what I can reacall - tacking a short Vegas trip on after a visit to the US family. :)

    If you do book for June and are there when we are would love to meet up with you two again!

    Excellent! I'm going at lunch to buy some dollars I think as I'm close to TEG and LinkFx...saw their rates jumped up to 1.96 yesterday so I think I'm going to jump on that and exchange a bit and keep my eye on it. :)

    Enjoy your trip and tell us about it when you get back!

    but it is hard to get it just right with all the sign in and a image of your self you can see ( that blurry figure is me folks by the way )

    Awesome! I love to put faces with names (even if they're dark and somewhat blurry). Shapes with names, at least. :)

    I never knew that there was a guy taking photos there. We may have to make a point to do this next trip - we have never actually stopped at the sign in 8 trips.

    Froggit it right, it will feel like much later. If you manage to stay up for as long as possible it might not be too bad, but most likely you will wake up at the crack of dawn the next day.
    I woke up at 3am and went down for five hours of blackjack before the brekkie buffet.
