Title: Las Vegas Post by: STFC Village on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 18:58:22 I'm going next week, 7 nights in the Stratosphere, then 3 nights in Mandalay Bay.
I'll report back 8) Title: Las Vegas Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 19:03:45 magicroundabout - you are a mentalist.
Title: Las Vegas Post by: Spud on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 19:19:35 The Stratosphere hotel is pretty standard IMO especially as it's located down the bottom of the Strip (gets rougher the further you go) we had a meal at the top of the Stratosphere and the view at night is amazing.
I stayed in The Aladdin Hotel which was very nice, my parents have stayed in the Mandalay Bay and they always go on and on and on about how nice it is there so you've picked a good one there Village. All i know is that you can get drunk in the hotel casino's for dirt cheap, get 3 bottles of Bud and throw the waitress $5....sorted. Title: Las Vegas Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 20:22:52 You'll need slightly more than 3 bottles of Bud to get pissed in Vegas.
Not related specifically to Vegas, but for anyone planning to visit the USA - check out Embassy Suites Hotels; they have a 'Managers Reception' from 1730 to 1930 every night (certainly during the week) which equates to an open bar. Everything is fair game, including spirits. Say 'Hi' to Elvis from me :wink: Title: Las Vegas Post by: yeo on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 20:26:22 How much is it to fly to Vegas?
Title: Las Vegas Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 20:27:29 Nothing, if you flaps your arms hard enough for long enough.
Ironically, it would probably cost me as much to fly to Vegas as it would you. Seriously. Title: Las Vegas Post by: yeo on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 20:28:00 8)

Looks a bit crazy but hey that's America for you!
Looks like the hotel actually puts on some pretty ace entertainment but other than that I can't suggest a lot else as I haven't been before Title: Las Vegas Post by: swindonbob on Thursday, January 25, 2007, 17:41:23 When i went on those two rides, they were quite easily the scariest moments of my entire life.
Title: Las Vegas Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, January 25, 2007, 17:45:27 One thing that has been recommended to me is to take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Costs about $300 each so I'm told, but probably worth it.
Most peole seem to get bored after about three days or so. Depends on what you enjoy doing though I guess. I've not been to Vegas yet, but looking to visit later this year. Title: Las Vegas Post by: returnofthereds on Friday, January 26, 2007, 00:53:48 I stayed at the Luxor last year. Bloody amazing !!
You must do the chopper trip to the canyon.Silly to be so close and not to see it.You fly over the Hoover Damn on the way as well.

Title: Las Vegas Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 08:11:36 I think I might be joining a few mates hiring a convertibale and driving LA to the grand canyon via vegas, LA's a dump but I'm looking forward to seeing the other places - even better I'm trying to tag it onto the end of a three week trip to Peru!
Title: Las Vegas Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 09:13:25 Did anyone see the Louis Theroux show about vegas on sunday? An old woman go to the Hilton Hotel every day and has done for years. Shes lost 4 million dollars in the last 7 years and isn't bothered about it! :shock:
Title: Las Vegas Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 14:34:02 THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN LAS VEGAS, BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.
NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS. THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED IN. THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS...! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT COMING DID YOU ? :mrgreen: Title: Las Vegas Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 14:39:48 :shake: that has to be the worst joke you've ever posted :wink:
Title: Las Vegas Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, 14:54:50 It wasn't a joke, therefore cannot be officially classified as the worst.
I've got a pretty picture of Vegas though. I'll post that if you like...
