Staying at the Mirage for a few nights then I think Carriage House. I check daily for different offers so it could change! The Mirage wont change though. Its a very decent hotel and we really like it. Not in the same league as the Venetian, of course. I just so love it there I keep looking though!

I love Canada, ... and would love to go to Montauk so looking forward to seeing what you have to say about it. Loved DC been there a couple of times too. Loads to do. What an exciting trip you have ahead of you.

I might look into those 2 hotels in a bit more detail, but for now I've booked 5 nights at the Venetian for £600 which seems like a good deal. I can cancel it FOC and have only paid a £1 deposit so plenty of time to decide.

LOL, I know . At least on the way out though you will get a full day flight in F which will be great, it is just a shame we miss the Concorde Lounge in T5, as this flight departs T3.

Venetian is a nice hotel, with authentic Italy, canals, shopping and dining experiences, it is just I prefer Bellagio, which is (in my view) a 5 star hotel with everything in it, especially if you get a fountain view room. The location is spot on, Cirque Du Soleil 'O' is there, you are next door to Caesars, and there are some seriously good restaurants there (Prime for steak, Todd Olives for sea food, steak and a great atmosphere), and a very big casino! The lobby and atrium are abundant with a mass colourful and themed garden flowers made to represent a season or holiday regularly changing, in a large sprawling indoor garden space - (Christmas, Easter, Independence Day and so on - you have to see it to really appreciate it).

Wherever you choose though, it will be amazing! I cant wait, and we have been 10 times and I still get excited when it is on the horizon, no matter where else I have been in the world!

You are right Ian180... and of course he can visit any of the hotels and see what they have to offer no matter where he is staying. Hope you like your stay at the Wynn as much. Have you stayed at Venetian?

Thank you 😁 . Never stayed at the Venetian although we have visited it almost every time we go there. That and the Palazzo are stunningly presented and we always enjoy our visits there, it us just for the reasons I mentioned that we go to the Bellagio. We did the Penthouse Suite last time as a treat and that was amazing and you get a free stretch limo pick up from airport, private check in and Chairmans (club) lounge access, priority concierge and a huuuge room! Would love to do it again but to save money, and as the Wynn looks very enticing, thought we'd give that a go this time!

Think it's because you get a suite which is so spacious that I like the Venetian. Decent price too. Sitting room, dining table, 3 TV's. Bellagio was out of our price range. Think the Mirage is going to be a letdown! Wonder if they will send a stretch limo for us😌

Yes I really should stop looking at Vegas and get on with the holiday I'm going on the day after tomorrow!

My DW was looking at the Bellagio last night and she prefers it (as far as you can from pictures alone). Seems to me (with no actual experience at all!) that the Bellagio has a nicer pool, and is in a better location, but the Venetian has bigger rooms, is not quite as crowded and has more lower-cost eating options.

Decisions, decisions I can't even get a price for Bellagio yet anyway.

I've never heard anyone describe the Venetian as "not quite as crowded" lol
It's one of the busiest hotels in the world but it's much of a muchness. Bellagio is very extravagant and upmarket , it's very nice .
