Any idea how atmosphere and music is like in there? =)
Tabu is better. When I went there is was hiphop/r&B and the vibe was good. Its a small club/lounge but we had a blast there. You should hit up the bigger ones like Tao and Pure.

Thanks for your tip, well was hoping to be able to actually get into the dancefloor and dance, but not sure if Tabu has a dancefloor or purely lounge area only? (I'm more of a dancer, but would love to dance in more recent music than 60-70's music!!!)

I know...I should try those other places too...but I am staying there only 3 nights...and probably go nightclubs 2 nights...so which one is better? Tao or Pure?

i just booked 4 nights in a Palazzo luxury suite for $159 a night. Looking forward to this trip. I loved the concierge venetian suite that I stayed in last year. Concierge comes in handy if you want to get access into the hottest clubs

Can anyone tell me how the parking fee is like to park all day at Bellingham airport (I am from Vancouver, BC)?

It's my first time doing so, I am going to Vegas through Bellingham airport and will need to leave my car there for a few days.

In addition, I saw someone post something relevant before but when I tried to refind that post, I couldnt find which page it's at =(.....so curious to know where I can put my baggage on my last day before I head to the Vegas airport back to Bellingham. My flight will be in the late afternoon but checkout will be at 11am....there's a good 5-6 hours in between before heading to the airport, but dunno if I can leave it at my hotel or some storage location which I do some last minute cram shopping/sightseeing.

Will be greatly appreciated if anyone can offer advice. I am leaving in a few days! Very newbie when it comes to going to Vegas...will be my first time going there (and first time going to Bellingham airport)!!!!

all hotels have a luggage area in the lobby. Hand luggage to peeps and they usually ask you if your checking in or out. Either way they give you a ticket, store your luggage away and you come back to redeem them later.

Thanks for your info! Just wondering if it is the long term parking lot that I need to go into then?? I am really new at this!

I have never been to Bellingham airprt before (it will be my first time doing so...so hopefully getting there from Vancouver isnt too hard), and not sure where to park...is the parking area close enough to the airport or if I need to take an airport shuttle bus or something (I know long term parking area in Vancouver International Airport is relatively far away from airport, need to take airport shuttle bus to get to the airport)? Please help!

how long are you staying for? i just got back today from a 5day/4night stay at the bellagio. flew out of bellingham and parking cost $30 for the 5 days. the parking lot is right at the airport. no need for shuttles or anything like that. just pick up your ticket when you enter, and then pay when you get back.
the only concern with flying out of bellingham is the border wait. just in case, leave early and then hang out at bellis fair mall which is like 5 minutes away. just google the map and you should find the mall and the airport no problem.

i think sometimes the main lot gets full and you'd have to park at an overflow lot a little bit away from the main building. i think they have shuttles for that. but if you're flying out in the morning i think you should be ok for parking in the main lot.

Yeah I agree...quite hot for the last few days...still can't complain when I heard from friends that Vancouver weather sucked

I'd vote sunny over crummy weather any day =D

Possibly going to Vegas again this October. Might book the flights through Allegiant Air. How did everyone find the service with them? I've typically flown out of YVR.

Luxor is near the end of the strip. Not exactly the best location if you want to walk to Caesars Forums, Miracle Shop or Fashion Show.

Not the best location for shopping and as for shows it all depends where the shows you are watching are but for the most part probably not as great either. Google vegas strip. The most central location is probably like Caesars Palace, in the middle. Luxor is all the way at the botton of the strip.

well sometimes you want to take in the sights and walk around and check things out so you won't always be cabbing. But yea some of the walks are ridiculous haha
