Taxi should only be a couple more bucks, but at least you don't have to wait for shuttles and stop at other hotels to let guests off

My first experience being on the vegas strip, every hotel is so big, and you can see their hotel sign. so I thought oh if I can see the sign, it must be really close, but it turns out, its further than I expected, really pain for to walk, had to choose to bus next day. Even tho I can see the sign, doesn't means its close, its just because the sign is way too big lol

The shuttle that I mentioned earlier from Bally's to the Rio for the buffet was free when I went and didn't have to wait long at all.

anytime I leave the country, I will buy travel insurance for peace of mind and it's inexpensive. If you have benefits from work, check the policy to see if it covers you. Some credit cards also include travel insurance too.

Vegas?! Travel insurance?! ALWAYS!!!!! $26 from rbc isn't a lot for a place like LV. (Drunken fun...yeah I'd get it just in case)
Or like above mentioned some credit cards cover travel insurance already

BCAA - $50 will cover you for the entire year. Not bad to have if you make a few trips across the border a year.

425 + tax + gratuity automatically included for waitress is about 700. 100bux for your host and 20-40 for the security, 20 for the runner. 1 bottle will get you a second-room table or a table on the outskirts.
text Matt Pearson - 702.343.0824 - tell him you got his info from the JackColton forums and see what kind of deal he can get you.

Possibly going to las vegas during the month of august. Anyone know of any popular shows that are being shown during that time? I'm ok for magic shows, but I've seen a bunch of those the last few times I went so it'd be good to mix it up a bit. I definetly don't want to watch anything with dancing though..

Last year I went end of August/beg of Sept and I loved it! Only time I was uncomfortable was getting off the plane and walking in that tunnel thing, after that I adjusted easily. I like the heat though, so that could just be my opinion  | |

For the 3 nights I was in Vegas I did belagio, planet Hollywood, and aria buffet... Soo full. Belagio was best I think, close second was aria the planet Hollywood. There was a huge sushi section and dessert section at belagio.. And top sirloin and prime rib! King crab and snow crab legs were delicious
