Funny you should say that but on our last day we followed a woman up the strip pushing a wheelchair, she wasn't struggling or anything and it was a really hot day ... She gets near the Bellagio plonks herself in the wheelchair and holds a sign saying disabled need money blah blah...
We've been told many times there are career beggars who make a very good living on the strip.. I hate being late too.. everything was just so rushed, I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't call me? I mean not everyone can access emails on holiday.. I am just thankful that we didn't go to Universal Studio's like we orginally planned or travelled in from Phoenix like we have on previous years on the last day as we wouldn't have made it... |

I forgot some highs
Seven magic mountains in Vegas , basically 7 colourful rock piles in the desert so glad we saw them . They are only there till the end of the this year . Kiss crazy golf . It was fun before but it's bigger and better now it's at the Rio New park area near the T mobile arena .. lovely area with a few bars and places to eat etc , nice to wander around And a low Fremont street ! I don't know why I do it too myself 😂😂 it gets worse by the year , thinks like the golden nugget are nice too see , but it's a freak show ! First thing we saw was a topless woman in her 50s posing as a nurse ! Though there was some debate as to whether is was a man or woman ! Edited at 01:33 AM. |

Poor show from Hilton and Bloody Awful. Thanks for warnings re increased begging activity in LV as we are going there shortly. Have you claimed your 600 euro per person under EU 261 for the late cancellation?

It's just a really nice place we wandered around and it felt very safe . Didn't see any of the "weirdos " that you do in the likes of Santa Monica etc .
Lots of very nice cafe type places to eat . Nope not thought about claiming tbh , they still got us home , I just wish we had had more notice , I'm still waiting to hear why they didn't ds or text . Emailing doesn't seem the best idea to me when not everyone checks emails . I think the Hilton know they've cocked up , they've sent me a voucher for a night free in a Hilton garden inn but I've told them I don't want it, there's only 4 in the U.K. None of which are any use to me . Apparently it's all they offer as compensation but we will see . |

Just realised that EU261 compo not due as you accepted alternative flight which departed less than 1 hour and arrived less than 2 hours after original scheduled times. Sorry, I misread OP.
Good on you for continuing to chase Hilton. I hope that they will be sensible. Good luck ☺️ |

Glad there were more highs than lows, but some of those lows are like eek ! What the !? So Pleased you got it all worked out. How did you keep your cool ? My hubby would have blown a fuse ...
It such a shame about the homeless issue, my heart really breaks for people who have fallen on desperate times and it really angers me that others take advantage of real desperation by trying to dupe people. Shameful. I really want to see Vegas but the more I read the more I worry it will be like our time in Hollywood ... Overall sounds like another action packed adventure. So roll on the next on e ...

I didn't accept a flight as such they just put us on one 3 .5hrs earlier than our proper flight .. would have been much better to have put us on the 7.30pm only 2 hrs earlier and would have given us more time . I was just annoyed they didn't ring me .. it was pure luck I saw the email or we would have missed it .

I'm not known for keeping cool even my husband was getting wound up at the hotel and airport and that's not like him .
Vegas is so much nicer than Hollywood , it's got its issues and crime but I don't feel unsafe there at all . I probably see more of the homeless than most tourists because most live around downtown and the areas past that which I pass a lot because we go to the racetrack . |

That's just awful. I feel for the people that are genuinely homeless and have fallen on hard times but it's getting to the stage you don't know who are genuine and who are at it.
