Walk from Mandalay Bay to ';Welcome to Vegas sign';?

Walk from Mandalay Bay to ';Welcome to Vegas sign';?

Thank you

I measure it at 0.7 miles. See

Me and my girlfriend did it; it wasn%26#39;t too bad.

Grueling trip

Take water.

Watch the traffic

How is a 0.7 mile walk a grueling walk ? LOL

Silly question, but I don%26#39;t remember. Is the Welcome sign south of Mandalay or north?

LOL TD40!!!

I agree with you 100% but I hope Patron...is tongue and cheek with the ';grueling'; response?

I keep reading remarks about being ';central strip'; and ';gee is the walk from MGM to Bellagio too far';.

Where is people%26#39;s health when a one mile walk...20 minutes per mile on average...is a big challenge.

Yeesh.

course when its 100F out...I ain%26#39;t doing it.

just jump on the deuce bus %26amp; i drops you almost at the side of the sign same comming back

Now I'm changing my mind about hotels

I should%26#39;ve stayed off of here while I could. We%26#39;re staying at TI in a petite suite. The rate was unbeatable ... 6XX for 4 nights. I really like that it has two bathrooms! I like that end; it%26#39;s close to the mall and the Wynn. Now I see that Palazzo has suites for $199....do they do a AAA discount? I could call and see...are they across the street from the Mirage...it closer to the mall correct?

I%26#39;m thinking I want to change my mind...the only thing holding me back is the two bathrooms at TI.

Now I'm changing my mind about hotels

I stayed in a Tower Suite at TI. It was very nice and comfortable, but I would not really describe it as luxurious. In particular, I thought the bathrooms, yes there were two, fell short in some areas of convenience and comfort. I think the Palazo will deliver luxury. So you need to determine which you value more, 2 bathrooms or a higher level of comfort. Either way I don%26#39;t think you will be disappointed.

Now I'm changing my mind about hotels

Yeah, I did some more investigations and someone said to bid on it on priceline. I%26#39;m so scared of priceline... it%26#39;s so PERMANENT. The person also said that the North Strip (5*) is almost always the Palazzo or the Venetian; so you can%26#39;t go wrong. I picked 5* North Strip and am about to bid $159... I doubt they%26#39;ll take it..but if they do that%26#39;s great. I%26#39;m also going to call and see if they take AAA.

While TI would be a step down from Palazzo it is closer to the mall but just a little bit. TI has a walkway attached to the mall were Palazzo you would have to go over two walkways (not a big deal).

I am a huge TI fan, but if you will be paying just a little bit more for Palazzo go for it.

Venetian is across from TI and the Palazzo is attached, so you would still be in the same area.

No AAA...

I got the Venetian...boo! I wanted the Palazzo...do you think that the hotel will let me change it?

And is the Venetian a suite only hotel? We definitely wanted a suite!

got the Venetian...boo! I wanted the Palazzo...do you think that the hotel will let me change it?

Did you bid $159 ? I%26#39;ve thought about doing the same thing.

Try Palazzo through pricline $160 a night

That%26#39;s where Priceline can be tricky. Is your stay during the week,or on a weekend?

I couldn%26#39;t decide between a few places when booking recently for a June trip, so I decided the risk would be ok with Priceline. The one other time I booked a four star for something like $69, I had a feeling I would end up with Westin since that is a four star slightly off strip,and many people ended up with it. Anyway, I did get the Westin (kind of wanted to try it) and it worked out great. I bid $60 this time, for South Strip (had not clue where ';South'; starts on Priceline), thinking I might get Westin,and I got Planet Hollywood. I was slightly concerned due to reviews, but I am excited.

For you, I have heard lots of good things about Venetian, so you will probably really enjoy it. If you visit next door at Palazzo and enjoy that vibe,then next time you could book directly.

The Venetian rooms are all described as suites.

Just have a look at the pictures on the Venetian website and then the Palazzo%26#39;s. Their rooms are basically the same except I think the Palazzo%26#39;s are a little large and of course newer.

Ok guys, so I just called and we have the Venetzia Bella suite...with 2 Queens? I see people calling to try to get the one with two beds..and I%26#39;m trying to wonder why... We just want one bed... LOL!

Mamma Mia or Love??

Which is better? Two couples, guys don%26#39;t really care, we grew up with the Beatles, but which would hold the men%26#39;s attention?

Mamma Mia or Love??

Love

Mamma Mia or Love??

Love

Love, for sure! Mamma Mia is a cute show- Love is a WOW show!

MamaMia is still my favorite show in Vegas

But I have yet to see Love. Which I should in June.

I also grew up with the Beatles. But not thrilled with Cirque shows. But I%26#39;ve been advised Love will be excellent, even for a Cirque show! Looking forward to it.

Go see both. MamaMia can be had for half price often and ends it%26#39;s run in January.

I agree with Lowrance, see both if you can.

We saw Love on our last visit, and we both loved it.

Next month we will see Mamma Mia. I purchased discount tix from travelzoo.com and our seats are in the 2nd row, center. I was pleasantly surprised with that!

I%26#39;ve seen and enjoyed both, my husband enjoyed both. Love is by far the better of the two, Mamma Mia is really fun and the music is great but Love is spectacular- the Beatles Music come to life. If your budget is really tight then Mamma Mia would be considerably more affordable but if you can afford to see Love then you won%26#39;t regret spending the money.

LOVE, I%26#39;ve seen it twice and want to see it again in May.

Love. We have seen it twice already and will hopefully go again in June. I enjoyed it so much that I get goosebumps every time I think about it!

Love.

You have chosen two wonderful shows to consider!! I have seen Love twice and it is just a really neat show. I saw Mamma Mia too and was just listening to the soundtrack this morning...peppy and fun. I can%26#39;t think of Mamma Mia without smiling.

Like every person here, if you can swing it, try to see both. Now that I know MM is leaving soon, I may have to see it a second time as well, if I can talk my friend into it this June.

If you can only afford one show time-wise or financially, or don%26#39;t think you will get back to Vegas again, I would have to suggest Love.

NCAA Tourney Watching in Vegas

Looking for places to watch the NCAA opening rounds in Vegas. This will be my 8th year going and it is packed. We have tried going off the strip to the Orleans and others, but that is the worst kept secret because even they were packed last year. We are willing to pay for seats even. Does anybody have tips for where you can pay for a seat or get one for free. We do not want to have to get out at 6 AM to save seats either.

NCAA Tourney Watching in Vegas

I like Sunset Station.

NCAA Tourney Watching in Vegas

I went to the GVR last year for MM and it was about 75% to capacity. Great place and excellent service. I would defenitely go there again...

Have fun

Thanks. We did GVR for one day last year and will probably head back.

Nighclub Tips Please!

I%26#39;m going to Vegas next weekend with a group totalling 9 females in our mid twenties. We are all interested in getting uber dressed up and heading out to nightclubs like Pure, Tao and Jet. I know these places can be next to impossible to get into.. so I was hoping for some tips!! Any suggestions would be great.

I know we have the advantage of being all female, young and in great shape, and we%26#39;ll be dressed to the nines. But won%26#39;t everyone else be?

And the VIP packages are crazy! like 400 per person at Pure!

Thanks for your help!

Nighclub Tips Please!

Thanks :)

You may want to try signing up for the guest list in adavnce for some of these clubs. That usually works well for young ladies and can mean waiting in a much shorter line or no line at all.

Also, for any club, the earlier you arrive, the easier it will be to get in. After 11:30 PM it can be tough at the hotter clubs because they may alreayd be full to capacity.

I can%26#39;t convince you to swing by here and pick me up on your way, can I? :)

You%26#39;ll do fine. I don%26#39;t know why there is so much info online that makes it appear like its impossible to get in, even for young groups of women!

If you%26#39;re in your 20s and are all girls you%26#39;ll have no problem getting in free and may even be able to bypass the line (no special passes needed).

This has worked for me even at Pure on a Saturday night with an hour long line out front.

Just go send your friendliest 2 or 3 girls up to the front and politely ask the bouncer if your group of 9 can get in.

Love those Canadian girls!

From your description, I don%26#39;t think you will have a problem getting in any of the clubs.

We (just us 2 guys) are having bottle service at LAX on Friday 21st. We will have some extra space at out table and will bypass the line. If you are planning on going to LAX friday let me know.

Bill

Me and my friends contacted the guys at gooddudes.com. Its a free service and they were able to get us on most of the guestlists we asked for.

We went to Light @ Bellagio (now called the Bank) Drai%26#39;s afterhours at Bill%26#39;s and Tao at the Venetian.

I have also contacted some of the clubs through there myspace pages to get on the guestlists.

Its always nice to be prepared because there always seems to be younger and hotter girls dressed in less clothes in Vegas trying to get into the same club.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the help! We%26#39;re already on the Guestlist for Pure on Friday (KFeds Birthday party...its going to be trash-tastic!) and I%26#39;ll try to work on the guestlists elsewhere! And we%26#39;ll make sure to be there early :)

Thanks again for the advice!

a group of attractive girls will have no problems getting into any of the forementioned clubs.. Just sign up on their guestlists.. even without the guestlist you shouldnt have too much difficulty in getting in.. and if you%26#39;re attractive as you say then you should have no problem being invited to tables of others.

You are definitely going to want to check out The Bank @ Bellagio as well as Blush @ Wynn. After hours @ Teatro (begins at 2am).

You can thank me later.

you guys are going a bit too soon.... my party of 9 arrives the following week! anyways, since you%26#39;ll be there ahead of me please message me or post a nightclub review when you get back to let some of us know how things went for you and your friends- i%26#39;d love to hear back from a fellow torontonian on their opinion of the clubs as i imagine you might already be acquainted with some of the clubs in our city that in my opinion are top notch!(muzik, brant house, ultra, west, circa, century and the like...) nothing against anyone from other cities... it%26#39;s just that toronto nightlife is widely considered to be top 5 in north america- definitely top 10... and sometimes when i read what someone is saying about a particular club i wonder what they have back home to compare it to... either way play safe and have fun!!!
