April 25, 201412 yr i know some people have been. we are staying at the aria. for 4 nghts what is the best way to see everything ? You won't see everything in 4 nights but as mentioned. The canyon by helicopter. Walk one side of the strip one day. The other side next day. If with kids book couple of shows I the evening, get tickets there dead cheap. Go the designer outlet mall I hate shopping but even undies could afford decent gear from there. All you can eat breakfast at MGM grand.
April 26, 201412 yr We've done none of the above yet! Britney tonight. Still not booked GC. Helicopter for 4 is nearly £1000. So if available might have to settle for plane. Aria is opposite us & looks amazing. Think we're going up the Eiffel Tower tomorrow evening. Then Freemont Street. Got to squeeze in the Secret Garden (Mirage) & Butterfly house (Bellagio). CWP...... walked past Twin Peaks last night.... I think I know what you were referring to.... tight ripped jean hot pants? Didn't bump into Big E, sounds like he's had fun though. For the record.... Is it ok to comment about another birds tits to your missus? Our waitress today around the pool at Paris had the best busters I've ever laid my eyes on. I brought it up in conversation - think I got away with it! She got a great tip as well.
April 26, 201412 yr Canyon on a plane is very very bumpy. Ask the concierge at hotel if they know any value places for helicopter, our lass almost refused to get back on plane it was that bad. I did not like Fremont street it seems dead cheap, have you been the designer outlet mall which is downtown ? Cheap as chips but you will need extra suitcase if you have three girls with you.

April 26, 201412 yr Smiley/Victor Don't do The Grand Canyon by plane, it's shit. We did it first time, and even though we thought it was good, it was only this time when we did it by helicopter we realised how much we had missed. Helicopter is the ONLY way to see the Grand Canyon Twin Peaks is a great place Smiley! - one of my faves in Vegas
April 26, 201412 yr I've been 5 times and there still shit loads I haven't seen. Done the Grand Canyon twice but never did the helecopter. First time we went to the West Rim and hired a Hummer for about $150 and drove there through the desert ourselves. Its about 120 miles away and you can stop off at hoover dam which is directly on the way so kill two birds with one stone. When you get there there's the skywalk which I think was expensive as my mates didn't want to do it or you can just do the basic what we did for about $40 dollars. You get on a bus there and it takes you to three viewing points and then at the end you get some red indian in a mud hut cooking you a meal old school style. From memory there were loads of different packages once you get there I guess they will have a website so just search 'west rim grand canyon'. Second time we hired a Mustang and drove to the South Rim which I think was about 250 miles away. This was much bigger but a lot more commercial/touristy. Loads and loads of shops selling grand canyon hats. mugs and keyrings. Its much bigger and definitely the most popular part of the grand canyon with loads more viewing points but I didn't enjoy it as much as the West Rim but maybe that was just because I'd already seen it. I thought the Bellagio breakfast was the best but they are all quality and you won't find a bad one. Infact id guess the Aria where you're staying will be hard to beat as it's one of the best hotels there. Make sure you go early though otherwise you will be queuing round the block to get in. When walking along the strip, somewhere that's half a mile away that looks like it will only take you 10 minutes to get to will actually take you over half an hour. Freemont street is like Blackpool but probably worth doing just so you've done it but I wouldn't spend the whole day/evening there as its basically just old Vegas.
April 26, 201412 yr Breakfast at The Wynn is the best for me.....Eggs Benedict 3-Ways (Canadian Ham, Lobster, Pulled Pork) is just magnificent. The Chinese restaurant in the Bellagio overlooking the fountains is really good as well....especially as they didn't put our wine on the bill, which was about $500 (between 6 of us)
April 26, 201412 yr There used to be a cracking bar behind the fountains but that's a restaurant now, the fountains are good! There are PF Changs all over which is Chinese that I thou roughly enjoyed, Decent shopping under Ceasers
April 26, 201412 yr Didn't bump into Big E, sounds like he's had fun though. Bi E is currently holed up in the hotel at the Macron. #fullkitwanker
April 26, 201412 yr Bi E is currently holed up in the hotel at the Macron. #fullkitwanker You could have dropped the "full kit" bit
April 26, 201412 yr PF Changs won ton soup is the best hangover cure in Vegas The Wynn is better than the Bellagio for pretty much everything except chintzyness (LW spelling) IMO having stayed at both The best view is surfing down the drag on a stretched hummer from my own experience Though I nearly died on numerous occasions
April 27, 201412 yr Enjoyed the plane over GC. £320+ for an hour flight was about the limit my wallet could handle after 13 days of being hammered. Gonna do Fremont tonight. Then Eiffel Tower. Bit of roulette & the dueling pianos. Before we leave tomorrow will try & squeeze in the Secret Garden at Mirage. I will be getting myself a cardboard sign & begging on the streets. #fuckmeitsexpensiveinusa
April 27, 201412 yr Just reading that Las Vegas is one of the most disappointing destinations in the world along with Gibraltar, Niagara Falls, Casablanca, Frankfurt, Hollywood, Nassau and a couple of other places. "Is there any place more depressing than the inside of a casino at three in the morning? Florescent lights, a thick haze of cigarette smoke, and the stink of desperation don't really add up to a dream vacation. Whether you're losing your money by gambling it away, paying for obscene amounts of food at a buffet, or dropping it on overpriced show tickets, you're pretty much guaranteed to walk away from Vegas poorer than when you arrived."
