oh i didnt notice the $97 one, sorry, lol, im looking at everything al over the place, too excited i think!! i was thinking of the mgm grand, but i also like the look of planet hollywood. anything at a good price i would consider. i can see the planet hollywood for around £250 on a uk site, which i thought was ok?

ive been looking at the hotels topic & lucis offers, i tried to look in to one but the price went up, perhaps im doing something wrong!? lol. however i will keep on looking

Thats the thing with the internet, not many people realise that every time they click on a hotel or flight the blessed price goes up as the pc thinks it is popular so it goes up. Been told this a lot by travel agents.

Planet hollywood is more central than MGM, plus it has a good size mall underneath you. Good for buying bottles of water and snacks and good magic show in there. If you go to a show, i recommend buying from a booth called txts 4 tonight, you get great offers. I one i used was outside bills casino, next door to the flamingo hotel.

Hi hotels all booked just got van to book now looks like netflights £560 for 9 nights with extra drivers and satnav ect.Just wondering what cloths to take. Does anyone no what the weather will be like in LV,Sandiago and Anihem the beginn of april
Thanks for all your help so far.

It will be approx 78 in Las Vegas and approx 73 in Anaheim .............

Hello,

ive been meaning to ask with that phone number for the beach tours, how do you pay them? do you have to give card details over the phone? or can you pay cash on pick up?

im so excited, i know its still a little while a way, but still.... woo hoo!!

also do you have any recommendations of good restaurants in las vegas?

What type of restaurant and budget per person for Vegas?

luci

Hello,

well we like steak, so any nice steak restaurants etc, also buffets for breakfast, would consider on the evening if anything good etc. dont really have a budget as such, dont want to pay risiculous prices like over $50 each for a steak, lol, if its good food im sure its worth it, you know sometimes in orlando we would eat somewhere a little cheaper a few of the nights, but wish we had spent the little bit extra for the better quality if you know what i mean, with the meat i mean.

Mon Ami Gabi opposite the Bellagio fountains do a really nice Filet Mignon with Merlot butter which is around $33 and comes with steak frites which are chips that are so thin they are almost like hot crisps. There are other steaks with sauces at around $28.

If you want a table on the patio opposite the fountains, you can't book it in advance. I would suggest getting there 30-45 mins before you intend eating and put your name down for a patio table. They will give you a buzzer and you can go and gamble until it goes off.

Their French Onion soup and warm flourless chocolate cake are really good.

Bally's Steakhouseis very good. It can be expensive as it's a la carte and you pay for your sides on top of the price of the steak. However if you go to Tickets4Tonight you can pay $3pp for a voucher which gives you the entree at half price. Steaks run about $40 so $20 with the voucher, but sides are full price. Excellent service there.

If you want a coffee shop they also do vouchers for Planet Dailies inside Planet Hollywood where Filet Mignon is around $26 so $13 with with voucher and that includes sides. If you decide to have dessert there be warned that they are massive and two of us struggled to finish one between us.

Thanks luci, do you have any recommendations for breakfast?

For breakfast the Spice Market buffet at Planet Hollywood. You can get a $5 off coupon at http://www.destinationcoupons.com Very good with a live freshly made crepe section.

We also like the buffet at Harrah's for breakfast.

Costs about $15 without the coupon.

For a cheap decent breakfast try La Salsa Cantina. Ham, bacon or sausage with egg, breakfast potatooes and a flour tortilla for $3.95.

Thanks luci, had a look at some of there websites, so excited!! lol

Does anyone know any places for breakfast in Anaheim?

Hi

The beach tours ring free from your hotel room, they pick you up, then one of two things will happen. Depending on how many there are of you, you could go back to their office and pay there, or, pay on the bus itself.

I loved the Harley Davison for steak and food in general, huge portions, but then you will expect that in any American state.

In Anaheim the majority of food outlets sell breakfast, so no need to worry

Thanks for that, i really am so excited, is it this year you are looking to go or next year?

also one thing im never quite sure off in america is on the tipping, i get taxis, restaurants etc, but you know if you were to buy park or show tickets not at the gate should you tip or not? im thinking that if you buy tickets to disney or universal at the entrance you dont have to tip? is that right? im thinking of when we were in orlando, but if we brought from a person in the hotel or a booth in vegas for a show? should we tip? i get confused. lol.

I bought my Disneyland tickets from the disneyland web site as you got free days, to pay on the gate is very expensive i thought. No tips there. If you go on the beach tour, you will have a narrator who has excellent info on your trip, yes a tip is required if you enjoyed it, i tip what i feel it was worth. I bought my other trips from the hotel or our rep, neither was tipped, only the coach driver.

Thank you again, lol. is it this year you are thinking of going or next year? i dont suppose you went to walmart while you were there did you? or in vegas? ive been looking on their website & i think there is one not to far from either location actually.

For a great Vegas steak, you can't go far wrong with Gallaghers in New York New York, AWESOME steaks at a reasonable price and you can have it with Yukon mash which is really creamy and yummy mash potato......god my mouth is watering just thinking about it! There are so many places that do good steaks, it's tempting to have one every other night
Another good place for breakfast is 'Cravings' in Mirage. We always have a breakfast in there, great choice and very good quality.

Tipping - You're tipping for service so if someone provides you with a service that you feel was good or better, then tip, normally around 10-15%. To be honest, I would never tip someone selling tickets, it's their job and they can hardly go 'above and beyond' as such, unless they pointed out a deal that may save money I guess?

Cheers,

TC

Thanks for that, we do like a good steak i dont suppose you went to wallmart did you while you were there?

We've been to Walmart several times. There are at least ten in Las Vegas.

You can get the 203 bus from the Spring Mountain side of the Fashion Show Mall and get off at Rainbow. They run about every 20 to 30 minutes on that route. When you get on, ask the driver to tell you when you get to Walmart.

Another Walmart is on Tropicana. Not sure what the cross street is for that one, but again, just ask the driver. I think those two are the closet to the Strip. We didn't really like the Tropicana one, it seemed a bit grubby in comparison to the Rainbow/Spring Mountain one.

Thanks for that, gotta love walmart, lol so the 203 bus takes you straight there? sounds good to me!! Thanks again
