Disadvantages: Check in and general bedm in reception.

...category) to be US$260 (about £145 then) a night. This rate is typically what I have seen offered on websites like expedia and octopus or slightly lower. If you want a lake view then expect to pay about $60 (approx £30) more per night and a suite would easily double or triple the nightly rate depending upon what class of suite. Arrival Although we were moving from a hotel not that far away we arrived by taxi as we had lots of luggage. Our taxi was greeted by one of the many bellboys on duty outside helping both the arriving and departing guests, they took charge of the luggage, gave us receipts and told us to call the number on the receipt once we were in our room and wanted our luggage delivered. So far so good. We then walked into bedlam. The hotel has over 2,500 rooms and was at capacity. Additionally in Las Vegas people...

Divas Las Vegas - Belinda Jones

Advantages: An OK read
Disadvantages: Dissappointing!!

... DIVAS LAS VEGAS BELINDA JONES I have always loved Belinda Jones books, and I have read near enough all of her books: I Love Capri, On The road to Mr Right, The Paradise Room, Out of the Blue, The Love Acadamy, Cafe Tropicana and now Divas Las Vega. The only book of hers I have left to read is The California Club (and the new book which she has coming out soon). I'm not quite sure where Divas Las Vegas comes in the line of her books, it could very possibly be one of, if not, her first book. I loved all of Jones' previous books, they have all been amazing, and have really captured my imagination, this book was very different and I must say, it isn't the best of her work. Plot: Izzy and Jamie have been best friends since they were little girls, for 20 years. And now at 27 they are still as close as ever...

Review of Divas Las Vegas - Belinda Jones

The Fantastic, Unforgettable Las Vegas

Advantages: A superb city, with so much to see and do
Disadvantages: A little bit seedy, Casinos not for Under 21's, you can loss loads of cash

...work museum there are plenty of places worth visiting. One of the best in my opinion was certainly the Las Vegas version of Ben Elton?s hit Queen Musical. I haven?t been to see the original London version yet but this one was fantastic. It?s showing at The Paris Hotel and tickets start at a very reasonable $50. A bit of the humour has been adapted to suit the American audience but regardless it was very funny. We didn?t get to see any other acts but with headliners such as Cirque De Soleil, David Copperfield and Celine Dion there is pretty much something for everyone. The shows weren?t the only attractions that caught our eye. In fact it got to the point where 5 days really didn?t seem to be enough as every hotel offered an attraction of some sort that is worth visiting. The Roller Coaster on top of the New York New York casino...

Review of Las Vegas

Las Vegas - Wow!

Advantages: Vibrant, diverse, unique
Disadvantages: possible to lose all your money very fast

...on my share of rides. The whole city is built around extremes, extremely rich people, extremely beautiful women, an extremely vibrant atmosphere 24 hours a day, and an extremely large amount of ways to misbehave yourself, but it is definately possible to visit as an interested tourist to enjoy the sights rather than as a gambling hustler or someone intending to marry someone quickly. With the Hoover Dam and world-famous Grand Canyon no more than a coach trip away there are more reasons to visit than the flashing lights. I strongly reccomend everyone should visit Las Vegas at least once, it is truly unique, completely individual, and offers the experience of a lifetime whatever you are looking for in a trip to Nevada....

Review of Las Vegas

  VIVA LAS VEGAS

Advantages: Totally out of this world experience, so much to see and do, great hotels and casinos
Disadvantages: Sleazy in places, a few days isn't long enough to see it all

...Las Vegas is often compared to Blackpool but on a far greater scale - yes there are bright lights and hotels in both resorts the comparison really does stop there. So is Las Vegas all it is cracked up to be? In my opinion nothing could have prepared me for what I saw in my 6 days in Las Vegas - I'd seen all the television programmes raving about it and I'd spoken to many friends and relatives who had been - all spoke very highly of Vegas but all warned us that we wouldn't want more than a couple of days there - I was sure that a fortnight wouldn't be long enough and in my opinion I was right - Las Vegas is so vast that it is impossible to cram everything into a few days - although I did my damned hardest to try!!! We went to America for my brothers wedding which took place in a hotel in the mountains, about a half an hour drive from...

Review of Las Vegas

  Viva Las Vegas

Advantages: Hot weather, tons of gambling, buffet
Disadvantages: Hot weather, tons of gambling and people

...My husband and I decided to visit Las Vegas the last time we were in the USA. It was late May. Our visit coincided with the long Memorial weekend. We rented a car from Hertz, and 2-night accommodations in Best Western Tuscany hotel in Las Vegas. As always, we visited the tourist information centre before we set off for the day. There, we found some interesting places to visit, maps to obtain etc. For a 3-day visit, we had a great time. Native American Pow-Wow First day out, we followed instructions provided by the guide at the tourist information centre to the closest Pow-Wow near Las Vegas. It was a short drive into the wilderness. In the distance, we could just about see snow caps on the mountains. It felt rather strange to be driving in the hot sun and seeing the snow covered mountain. Anyway, we...

Review of Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Advantages: A wealth of things to do and see and spend your cash on
Disadvantages: It can be seedy

...December 2005 we spent 5 days in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The true city that never sleeps, anything and everyone goes. It shuns the healthy image portrayed by other US states such as neighbouring California - smoking is the norm - everywhere - it's the done thing to get boozed up and gamble your life away. Vegas is truly and adult playground and not for the faint hearted or for those out to relax and chill - yet l may contradict my self on that last statement as some of the hotels on the strip do have oasis's of peace and relaxation. We booked our trip through Expedia - which was a totally painless experience and we would definitely recommend using them again. We even received an email when we got home, hoping that we had a good time and asking for our recommendations so that they could be passed on to other travellers - good...

Las Vegas: Unseen and Exposed

Advantages: James Caan, good location shots of Las Vegas, fun to watch, beautiful people
Disadvantages: some storylines, acting not too hot

...I came very late to the TV show "Las Vegas". It never really interested me, I had watched the odd few minutes on Sky when it was on but never managed a whole episode. There are a few TV programmes I watch regularly this was not one of them. Then, one night, unable to sleep, I caught the pilot episode. I have no idea how many times it had been on a quick turnaround repeat since it was first shown on Sky but I enjoyed it a lot. Maybe it was the lack of sleep that made me continue watching but I got hooked. In the end I bought the DVD box sets (Season 1 and 2) WHAT IS "LAS VEGAS"? The TV show "Las Vegas" tells the everyday stories of the Montecito Hotel & Casino and its staff. It is centred around the Security and Safety Staff headed by ex-CIA agent Big Ed Deline (James Caan) and his staff, mainly young and dashing Danny Mc...

Review of Las Vegas - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

A Taste of Egypt- Las Vegas Style.

Advantages: Unique Shape, Good Casino
Disadvantages: Cleanliness an issue, Understaffed.

...Having been to Las Vegas last year for our Honeymoon, it became obvious where we'd go for our first wedding anniversary! We had wanted to stay at the Luxor for our honeymoon and it was sadly booked out, so we stayed at the Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood) and never made it up even to visit the Luxor, so when we found a deal on Lastminute.com, we were chuffed and booked it in January 2007. Cost: £1400, 5 nights, room only basis including Virgin Atlantic flights (economy) for 2 people. --------- My review of the Luxor will be split into the main areas of interest in the hotel that I experienced, I realise that this may not cover all areas of the hotel, sorry but with so much to see and do in Vegas it would have been a shame just to stay in the hotel! Location: On the strip, between MGM Grand & Mandalay Bay...

Review of Luxor Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

  A Superb Gamble in Vegas! The Paris Hotel!

Advantages: Something new to explore..you can be in Paris and Las Vegas at the same time!
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for some, you need more than two weeks to see everything!

... First . . . Las Vegas . . . and the strip One of the magnificent trips that I will never forget was my recent visit to the city of lights and entertainment - Las Vegas! It is the most densely inhabited city in the United States of America. Las Vegas is known for its gambling places and games; for unusually shaped large hotels, casinos, restaurants, resorts, properties and spacious houses. Most of the first class hotels, casinos and entertainments are laid out over a mere 3.8 miles. The most extraordinary hotel I have ever seen was the Paris Hotel . . . in Las Vegas! It?s not only a hotel . . . it?s like an amusement city! This hotel was arranged, decorated and designed just as if a slice of Paris had been pulled out and put down in Las Vegas! I was lucky enough to go to Las Vegas . . . I work in a travel...
