    I would also choose Mirage. I like that part of the strip and the vibe and facilities within the resort. Saying that I particularly like the Nine Fine Irishmen bar at NYNY.

    Check out Smartervegas, they often have offers inc free resort credit at Mllfe properties.

    Mirage is better than NYNY in my opinion.. are you restricted to Mlife properties? Harrahs, Bally's and Linq are all recently returned and the rooms are nice


    no not restricted really, will take a look at the others though cheers

    Right! It seems to be a bit quiet on here, and I'm getting excited about my April trip :D So here's a few fun questions to respond to to give us some inspiration :)

    (Don't take them too seriously, just a bit of fun! I'll think of my answers shortly!)
    • If there was only one restaurant you could go to on your trip, which would it be and why?
    • What's your favourite slot machine?
    • Where's the one cool place you go, that you think many people don't know about?
    • Is there one place you'll visit every trip?
    • Where's the best place to grab a drink/coffee and people watch?
    • What US-only produce/goodies do you buy to bring home?
    • What do you usually stock up on from CVS/Walgreens?
    • What's your favourite free thing to do?
    • Where are the best shopping bargains to be had?
    • What's the one show you'd gladly see again as it's so great?

    • If there was only one restaurant you could go to on your trip, which would it be and why?

      Prefer relaxed bars than fancy restaurants and particularly liked Nine Fine Irishmen at NYNY on our last trp.

    • What's your favourite slot machine?

      Buffalo

    • Where's the one cool place you go, that you think many people don't know about?

      Skyfall bar at Delano

    • Is there one place you'll visit every trip?
      Fremont St

      On the balcony at the bar used to be known as '5 o'clock somewhere bar' at Flamingo

    • What US-only produce/goodies do you buy to bring home?

      Don't bother with CVS/Walgreens unless we need something urgently

    • What's your favourite free thing to do?

      People watching

    • Where are the best shopping bargains to be had?

      Sorry don't think there are many shopping bargains left in the US unless visiting at sale times. Mrs Stevie always likes to shop at the Fossil store at the South Outlet Mall and has got some deals.

    • What's the one show you'd gladly see again as it's so great?

      Not seen a great deal but would like to see 'Love' again
