Hello,

thanks for that, some really good information!! well the plan is to have 5 nights in LA and the 5 nights in las vegas. would love to have longer but with work etc, thats what we have time for. still im really looking forward to it!!

ive had a look at all the hotels you mentioned & seem to be able to get the cortona inn & suites at a good price, however reseacrhing south harbour boulevard where the hotels are you mentioned i may have found another which looks really nice & also at a good price!!

we will be booking our flights seperate to our hotels. do you remember i know you should have a credit card at check in in las vegas, do you also need one in LA? as some hotels mention this or a cash deposit? im only asking as we dont have a credit card. i was thinking of getting a pre paid card for check in in vegas.

thanks for all the information :)

Forgot to add that the cortona inn and suites, carousel etc and some others give you a free breakfast, this will save you a lot of money. I recommend you look for the symbols when doing your research.

My colleague at work did not take a credit card but her b/f did, she took a prepaid one, so that is fine.

What other hotels did you think was a good price ? I will know hopefully where they are in relation to the entertainment etc, remember having a free breakfast will save you time and money.

I used my cc all the time, but cash is fine, and remember travellers checks are welcome as its money to them and they give you the change back.

No i do not know this hotel, but looks nice and good reviews. Quite often they change the names of the hotels so it gets confusing.....http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29092-d75493-r55316777-Hotel_Menage-Anaheim_California.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT

I now know why i didn't recognise the hotel name, it used to be called the Holiday Inn ;) Its had a major re-vamp.

we went to LA last years and stayed 4 nights in Beverley Garlands Holiday Inn. The hotel was excellent with a really good restaurant (reasonably priced). we did the hollywood tour including the stars houses, beverley hills and a trip to the farmers market. All organised through the hotel. there was a free bus into town - and we regularly used the tube to go to other places we wanted to visit.

Keep an eye on the Las Vegas Hotels topic. There are several offers there already that go to the end of the year, particularly at MGM. Will keep posting any that I find.

The menage actually is closer i think looking at the map. I forgot to say look on the disneyland website http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/reserve/listings?name=SpecialOffersListingsPage i bought mine before i went as you do not require transport to the park from the hotel. When you buy them you will need a printer to print off the e ticket, then present the e ticket at the park, no lines either. It was well cheaper than buying it from the hotel direct.

Hollywood, Universal, seaworld etc buy with the transport when in resort. The number i gave you for the beaches is the only one that does them so keep that number safe.

You will need a pass for disneyland and california adventure park combined as one park leads into another, they will stamp your hand. We went into the park every single day, the parades and fire-works are amazing. A great place uk prices to eat is the cheese cake factory, huge portions of steak etc or anything off the menu. The deserts are cheesecake and its fresh and massive. They have a bar as well.

yeah i will definatley keep the number safe, will put it with all the travel documents when we print them off, thanks again for that. do you know can you just buy a 1 day disney ticket? the website only has 3 days etc, we would only be going the 1 day as theres so much we want to do before vegas, its so exciting!! where did you stay in vegas? :)

yeah ive heard of this cheesecake factory but in florida though, we never went but heard its very nice!! think we will have to have a try :D

There's a Cheesecake Factory at the Forum Shops in Vegas too and a Grand Lux at the Venetian which is run by the same company.

On the disneyland link i gave you it is $97 pp for one day, sometimes its cheaper to buy a 3 day pass, doing it all in one day can be a push because some rides wont be working due to technical failure for example. I would see what prices come up for you then convert it into sterling for costings.

Heres a currency convertor for you ..... http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/

$97 = to £62 pp.

It will be exceptionally more if you go to the gate when in resort, i advise to buy before you go.
