Anyone ever been? I'm staying in the MGM Grand next year and just wanted to get an idea of the price for food and drink.

Also, would it be worth taking an empty suitcase to bring a load of cheap clobber back???

 

I went there on business last year (actually to that precise hotel) for a couple of days. Loved it, but when i got there i and a colleague were both given rooms that had not been made up (ie complete mess) then the Steak place for dinner on the ground floor was shit in every way including price. Apart from that, there were great views, loads to see and would definitely recommend it. Go to the IHOP (International House of Pancakes) for grub!

 

i'm in vegas now

just came up from the pool - its red hot down there.....

yep... well worth bringing an empty case... exchange rate isn't as good as it was earlier this year but still well worth it

 

Went in august and stayed at the mgm,,, was superb,, although my missis missed not having a beach,, definetely do the grand canyon/hoover damm tour via helicopter,,, unbeleivable

 

I'll keep an eye on the exchange rate and buy as soon as it looks good.
Just for example, if I bought a pair of jeans here for Ł100, what should I expect to pay in Vegas?

 

I found whatever we pay over here in pounds you buy for dollars over in Vegas. When I was over there last year I bought a shit load of trainers and had to buy another case to bring them home

 

I think I'm gonna need a few cases and a shit load of cash, might get a bit carried away

 

vegas.com is a good site for reviews etc of eating places and attractions. go to one of the gun shops and fire machine guns /assault rifles if you fancy a buzz we had a pop with a SAW machine gun, M16, thompson machine gun and a 9mm pistol lol

 

Just got back from Vegas last month, I loved it!

Defo do the Canyon by heli, absolutly amazing! Battistas Hole In The Wall for a shit hot Itailian, dirt cheap and all you can drink wine too, you will defo have to book up ahead thou. Also Tao for amazing Oriental Fusion food with amazing service in awesome surroundings. Other than that just get around the Hotels and check all the cool shit in them out

 

my mate is away there now lucky git

 

Been there twice. Stayed at Circus Circus the first time and Bellagio the next. IT ROCKS. Best place in the world for someone like me lol.

We took a bunch of cash and some empty suitcases and bought a new wardrobe. As Hockney said it pretty much works out the same in dollars as you'd pay in pounds here. You'll love it.

Oh and as said, do the Canyon. Breathtaking. And if you have the balls do the Skywalk*



*I don't have balls!!!

 

one of the places you must visit at least once in your life !!
been 5 times its awsome.

 

As Cola says, awesome place! we went again this year via a few stops in california. I can see us doing a few other places round california next year..... and ending up in Vegas again lol! love it over there.

view from our room in the Bellagio

 

Cola / Daveyboy - What was the Bellagio like to stay in ? Been looking at holiday for next year already (Not long been back from Thailand) Looking into Fly Drive Tours and that is one of the hotels to choose from in Vegas.

 

Ha Ha. I know how it is Helen. We're planning to go back next year already too! I don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else now (too spoiled!) Everything about the Bellagio rocked. No drama to be had! The Wynn is pretty fancy too, but not as well located IMO.

 

guy from work goes to bellagio every year, hotel is cheap to stay, he only goes to gamble tho

 

It looks really nice on the website etc Will have to look it up on Trip Advisor, but i think i would rather stay there than the Luxor. Mandalay Bay is another choice too which looks fab.

 

I would go for a hotel thats on the actual strip as your nearer all the action so to speak lol, Mandalay Bay is away at the top of it nearer the airport. If you like walking lots then go for the Mandalay or theres a monorail that starts at MGM that saves you walking as much.

 

I stayed at the MGM when i got married there in 2002. I remember getting static electric shocks from the lift buttons. And I remember spending too much money in the win a Viper area. Don't remember much else. Lions in the casino, maybe, i'm not sure.

 

Yeah they big bastards were there last year when I stayed at the MGM. I kept waiting around to see if they would eat there trainer

 

I stayed at the Luxor a couple of years ago, Nice hotel but if I went back again hopefully soonI would stay outside the strip in a cheaper hotel.

going for my/our honeymoon next year........going to see a UFC fight over there so havn't booked a date till i see the fight i want to watch........cant efn wait

 

I was there back in April, went on my honeymoon, brilliant place to go. There is so much to do and see, unlike any other place in the world.

 

I was thinking about hotels off the strip too Mark as we are wanting to do some adventure type activities, white water rafting being one of them Not sure where we can do that yet, will have to look into it
