This was our 2 nd trip to Las Vegas, and it did not disappoint. There were more hotels than last time. A visit to downtown is necessary to see the light show in the roof area. Technical marvel. We heard that we will cost 400 million dollars. It is strange to say that we are wandering around the hotel every day, but you will understand how attractive visitors are to Las Vegas. The sun shone in February and I was able to sunbathe around the MGM swimming pool.
Five things you should do. Please walk around all hotels. I ride a roller coaster in New York / New York. Please visit the hotel's lion and dolphin at the Mirage. A helicopter trip over the Grand Cannon. Finally, take the elevator to the top of the Stratosphere hotel and see the wonderful night view of the Las Vegas Strip and its surrounding cities.
I did not know if someone reading the hints to save money when visiting Las Vegas. This is a city for gambling, so who is trying to save money? But I am not a gambler, but now I visited Las Vegas twice.
In 2000 my daughter and I bought my 50-year-old birthday present for my 4-day trip to Las Vegas for my wife. Bonus was for 4 people including wife, myself, daughter, husband.
You can fly directly to Las Vegas, but this 4 day visit is an indirect flight stopping for 4 hours in Chicago and will fly to Las Vegas in 4 hours. The return flight was the same. The actual stay in Las Vegas was 2 days and 3 nights. It was a particularly fun experience since I arranged a room upgrade to the suite overlooking the strip & # 39; Because we have too much to see, we did not gamble much.
The second visit to Las Vegas was a perfect surprise. This Christmas, as a family, we started two new businesses, money was cramped, so we decided to buy a present as a small gift.
Our son who had not come to the first visit to Las Vegas has two holidays with his wife and parents-in-law in Las Vegas since. A few months before Christmas, he took another vacation in Las Vegas in February and said that we would like to go with him as well. Unfortunately, we booked for summer vacation and earlier holidays.
On the Christmas day after all small gifts were opened our son and wife gave me the last gift. When my wife opened it, I thought that the new & # 39; we are a joke gift Roulette game. He opened the box and photographed the MGM hotel in Las Vegas and my wife and I invited him to sacrifice them for a visit to Las Vegas and found a nice short memo. We only found our expenditure. How can I refuse? We always wanted to go to Las Vegas with him, but this year I wanted to start a family. If so, I probably never came to Las Vegas for many years.
This time we flew directly with Virgin. I must say I flew with Virgin in the early days and tell them to one of the best things. But over the years I have found that the service from Virgin has dropped. The service from Virgin was the best this time, so we recommend it to everyone.
In this visit to Las Vegas, I flew the plane at 11 AM from Gatwick Airport on Friday and came home at 5:30 AM and landed at the weekend from Las Vegas at 4 pm and landed on Saturday morning . Las Vegas Airport is a 5-minute drive from the MGM Hotel.
When I arrived in Las Vegas, I decided to take a bus to MGM Hotel. They charge $ 7 per person. We return to the airport at the end of our holiday We have a taxi. Taxis are $ 9 per trip from the MGM Hotel.
Tips 1. If you stay at a hotel in MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, New York New York, it is cheaper to take a taxi from the shuttle bus. However, further strip & # 39; taxi fare goes up, the shuttle bus may be more cost effective.
On this one week trip, my wife and I went to Las Vegas 1000. And the Las Vegas 1000 was converted to $ 1,360 at the exchange rate on February 9. We changed another 180 on the weekend and paid for a show with a credit card of $ 160. I came back from Las Vegas for 180 dollars.
Despite having departed the UK at 11 am and had a 10 hour flight, it was a midday Friday afternoon due to the 8 hour time difference. Especially, for my age, bedtime in the UK is truly.
Tip 2. In the case of your first visit you are probably very excited, you may want to hit the city or hit the gambling, but please do not sleep at all until the evening. It takes time to sleep too early and the body clock will match the time difference.
Our initial impression when we struck the town seemed busy like & # 39; after we thawed. Credit crunch did not affect Las Vegas. The second thing we noticed was that it is not cheap. We have found that we need to pay a very difficult fee every past few years, all inclusive holidays. For those who are accustomed to spending time at the hotel, the price is probably fairly normal, but the price of a Budwisser bottle and so on is expensive at $ 6.
The first round of drinks at the hotel bar in New York's New York City hotel, the first round of drinks was $ 35 with 4 bottles, 1 bottle of coke and 1 bottle of wine. We decided to eat at the same hotel, five of them had a steak and the other had a pizza. Very good food. The bill is $ 153 + $ 27 (leading 18%) + $ 11 (15% tax) = $ 191. Due to past visits to the US, 12-15% option, which is normally voluntary. In 18% of the bill it is a bit of finding it, but we believe.
Tip 3: We found that the 18% hint included in the bill is usually a hint of more than 6 groups. Therefore, if you request your invoice in two groups, 18% chips are omitted from the invoice and left at your discretion. We do not add chips to the bill no matter what size your group is "Dennis".
The big disappointment found during this second visit to Las Vegas is that all "slots & all machines in the hotel will allocate the coins not to win, you are paying dollar bills, it is fortunate to win If you do, you will get out of pieces of paper distributed as your victory.The coin's wrapping when you win is sadly lacking.This piece of paper is sent to other slot machines in the same hotel, You can continue gambling.
Tip 4. If you want to hear the sound of a coin falling with victory, the only place to use coins is next to Hotel Circus Circus.
It was not like a gambler, I tended to see other people, but I found that I want beer while I am watching. When my son gambled on a slot or table when I visited in the past, I noticed that free drinks from the waitress and barmen at the bar were offered. These drinks are free of charge to waitresses and bartens in addition to a few dollar chips. There are more drinks that will offer more bets.
Every chair in the gambling hall is in front of the slot machine. Even in the bar, each seat is in front of a gambling machine embedded in the bar.
Tip 5. As long as you keep the slot machine at $ 20, I suggested the number of Bermen bars as long as I can supply me with make-up drinks. If you win, you can drink free all night.
On the first evening of our stay, I will be called the soccer & # 39; the player & # 39; club. This means that you will receive an individual swipe card using your passport. These cards put points in the cave when inserting points into the slot machine before gambling. If you achieve 1,500 points during your stay, you may receive complementary gifts such as a free buffet meal.
Sign up & # 39; Players & # 39; Club Cards means you were able to get two qualifications in one transaction at any of MGM's shows. With this option, expensive seats could be purchased for $ 160, not cheap seats at $ 80. Two of the best seats go to see a wonderful circus du Soleil of 160 dollars.
Tip 6. & # 39; Players & # 39; As soon as you arrive, you can use clubs at any hotel to ensure complementary deals and complimentary services. & # 39; Players & # 39; at any other hotel in the MGM group:
MGM Grand, Bellagio, City Center, Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, Monte Carlo, Treasure Island, Kirs Circus, Train Pass.
There are a lot of foods in the hotel and on the strip. A good steak cost more than $ 17, and a bottle of wine starts around $ 28. Always have great deals, MGM Hotel offers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner for $ 29. .
Tip 7. Before you go to Las Vegas, search shops and online books and guides to find out about deals and discounts being offered. You can save enough for your gambling.
