Looks good Steve
Plenty to keep you occupied.

Have you booked Mamma Mia yet or are you going to wait till you get there for cheapie seats.
I am hoping to book mine next month when the date becomes available.

I got the cheap seats at the back today for Mamma Mia, I prefer to have it all booked up, this is DW's treat folled by the Tropicana Zone for DS's treat as the servers are in bikini's ;) still to work out my treat

Been to both places. All I can say is it looks an AMAZING itinerary. I'm sure you will all have a great time.

Went to New York for 3 nights in Oct 2004. We did loads of sight seeing but the trip was too short to go shopping as well! Planning to take DD for a week for her 18th in 4 years time and hope to do a week there and 2 weeks in Orlando.

Your itinerary looks FAB!

Been to NY, the itinery is looking good - if you want somewhere fun to eat prior to Mamma Mia, try Ellen's Stardust Diner immediately next door, we also did a matinee show and didn't bother with a lunch first, just a mammoth slice of New York Cheesecake with hot chocolate fudge sauce over the top, omg it was to die for :tounge:

Whilst you are eating, the servers are singing and dancing in their 50's clothing...great fun! :grin:

When you'e in the Bellagio area, pop into Bill's Gambling Hall & Saloon, by Harrah's, across the road on the corner, to see the free Big Elvis Show (http://www.bigelvis.biz). A geat hour or so watching "Big Elvis" and fans singing their way through the classics! In the corner of the casino, just head for the singing and dancing!! There were a couple of hundred there when we watched! He used to advertise as Elvis's long lost son, but I see that's not so to the fore on his site now. Watch some of the videos ... he's worth an hour if you like the idea of Vegas/ Elvis.

Re: tickets for NY sport. I tried to buy Yankees tickets over the web, but fell at the cc payment as I didn't have a US zip code or cc. Actually managed to get superb cut price tickes on ebay for Yankees v Anaheim Angels. Superb!
We've done the Central Park movie walk, and it was great. Probably depends on your guide, obviously.

Enjoy!

May look at Ellen's for either Friday or Sunday meal as Saturday meal is the boys treat ;)
