fabulous at 40 las vegas

[NatOwls]

I'm can't recall if we had to show our driving licences. My DH doesn't think we did
Yeah we were picked up from the hotel.
Last year they did a full Strip tour instead of the Red Rock Canyon tour in close season - which also looked fab! We git a Groupin deal which was an excellent deal

I wanted to do this but my health at the time wouldn't allow it :-(
It's a controlled drop - so you free fall for a few seconds then the bungee cord tightens to lower u to the ground. We watched some people do it from the observatory - it looked awesome!

____________________________

today's outfits will be fun and energetic to start with as it is a busy morning - might be chilly at 7 am too



afternoon - casual so that we can go to see the strip etc and not have to change clothes again - can pop into places for a drink and not look under done iykwim

friends of mine went today to Las vegas
so jealous
at the moment they are in Manchester waiting on a flight have a ball


i am seriously considering changing hotels due to the fact that our pool is going to be closed. the excalibur is next door (15mins walk ) and that is the pool to use and is heated. wonder what the price difference will be and wonder if i can actually change. we probably will only get one pool day (end of February) if we are lucky... is it worth the hassle? anyone? or should i just use my vegas points to book a NYNY hotel room for one night?

I don't want to put a downer on your trip but I personally would not consider staying at the Luxor, I don't think it is in a good position on the strip and it looks very tatty, when we last went we went inside and it was awful. I haven't seen any bedrooms but I have not heard any good reviews. We stayed in the Signature at MGM it was a superb hotel.

[dozy]

i would love there but out of my price band - i will wait to see what the travel agent say and perhaps upgrade a bit

[Floridag1rl]

I booked through netflights we had a one bed roomed suit for 9 nights and it was around £1000 for the two of us. A double room would have been around £600 for the two of us. You really just have to look around on line.

[dozy]

i will ring and have a look around - we booked through TA as no direct flights so it was safer as coming from ireland

*** getting closer to booking tickets to Penn and Teller - available up to January 3rd now
