Las Vegas - Mobility

We are planning our first trip to Vegas. Looking to go in April and I just have a couple of questions.

My father can't walk very far and we are planning on hiring a Mobility Scooter for him.

Has anybody on the forum hired one whilst in vegas - if so which company do you recommend? Also, are there a lot of people whizzing about on them in Vegas and will they allow you in the hotels/casinos with them?

We are probably going to be staying in the Excalibur as I've seen a really good price for this hotel with Thomas Cook which brings me to my second question. Are you able to upgrade your seats on Thomas Cook flights from Manchester - Las Vegas and what are the standard/economy seats like. Are they wider than the standard European Trips?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and any tips on cheaper show/trip tickets would be appreciated.

No problem with hiring or using a mobility scooter in Vegas as they are everywhere, on the streets and in the casinos.

Can't help with recommendations, but if you Google mobility scooters las Vegas there are loads of results.

You may get a better response re the flights if you post in the Thomas Cook topic in the Flights forum.

Thanks for your responses. It's good to know he won't be the only one on a scooter. I have googled Mobility Scooters and the one that looks the best is 702 Scooters.

I'll post on flights now and see if I get any responses.

Thanks again.

Re: Las Vegas - Mobility

The only problem you may have getting one is that several people who don't need them seem to hire them to save them walking - which is a shame!

I'm talking about people without mobility problems - that are just being lazy. I can't believe people would do that, but I saw some of them getting out of them and walking over and joining the queue in the slot club and I'm sure there was nothing wrong with their mobility!

As I've seen so many though, I'm sure there must be places that hire them out.
