My boyfriend and I are going to Disney in September. I know I am planning early but I am kind of narotic like that and I have to have everything orgaized. We are going for 6 nights/7days. Coming in on Sept 22 and leaving Sept 28. our first day we will be at a water park. We plan to go to Epcot 1x, MGM 1x, Animal Kingdom 1x, Magic Kingdom 3x, Universal 1x. We are having 2 nice dinners. One at Cinderella's Casle and one at the Coral Reef Resturant. We are also going to Planet Hollywood one night and Mini Golf another night. What type of clothes should we pack in our suitcase? When get there on the 22nd we are going straight to the water park and then to Magic Kingdom (we might stop off at the hotel to change but we are not sure if our luggage will be in our room yet) What shudl we pack in our carry-on for the plane? (remember only small liquids)|||I'm a big fan of over-organizing for an up-coming trip as well. My husband thinks its a bit nuerotic, but we always have such a nice time because we are so well organized and have almost everything planned out.
You'll be visiting during a great time! I love late Septebmer and October in Orlando. The weather will still be warm, if not hot and most definitely humid. So be sure to pack comfortable, breathable clothing - the best options can be found at sporting good stores (for your park days) which say that they wick away moisture on the label. The golden rule for Florida that time of year is if it is cotton, its rotten. Cotten sucks in moisture, but it doesn't release it so you'll most likely be wet and uncomfortable all day. Also, bring good walking shoes. My #1 recommended park shoe are Crocs Sandals. They are lightweight, antibacterial, have great arch support and are super comfy. Plus, you can wear them on all the water rides, get soaked, and your feet will be dry in minutes. I know they aren't the most stylish shoe, but it sure beats blisters or sore feet after a nice vacation.
Pack 1-2 swimsuits. If you have any suits with exposed metal (like the fashionalbe hip rings you see on bikinis), don't wear that to the Disney water parks. They will not allow you to go on any of the waterslides with a suit that has exposed metal. Save that style for the hotel pool.
Pack a baseball cap or a cute beach-style hat. I also recommend fun beach apparel and accessories - you are in the sunshine state so its fun to get into it. I recommend Breezy Beach Wear (http://www.breezybeachwear.com) they have a ton of really great beach clothing and accessories for gals and guys.
For your carry-on, be sure to follow the 3 oz rule: you can only have liquids if they are in a bottle which is clearly marked as 3 oz. I typically take visine, a small lip gloss, and a 3oz tube of neosporin. Studies have recently showed that its not being on an airplane that makes you sick, but the air ventalation. The air being blown into the plane dries out your nasal cavity, casing it to crack. Then it is overly exposed to germs. So as odd as it sounds, dab a small amount on the inside of your nose before you board the plane. I've been doing it for over 6 months and have not once gotten sick off a flight. Bring something to read or a portable DVD player with a few movies to pass time on the flight. Once you've passed security check-points, you can get food or liquid of any size, so go for it and grab a smoothie or snack to have on-board.
My husband and I run a Disney travel planning service. We create custom trip booklets for our clients which has everything from their flight info, hotel confirmation numbers, driving directions, park maps, personalized dining recommendations, and much more. We always recommend that our clients keep this booklet with them in their carry-on. I always make one when we travel and its so great to have all of our important info in one handy book.

Have a great time!|||check the weather channel before you go maybe a week in advance|||sun glasses|||Pack something to keep you cool because your going to be hot|||This is supposed to be a vacation where you relax! You're putting WAY too much thought into this.
A bathing suit, comfortable clothes, and comfortable shoes. That's all you need to worry about. But hey, you've still got almost 8 months to get ready!|||I went to Paris recently so i have a good memory of what to pack.
an small change of clothes including underwear (in case you spill all over your self)
make up (if you wear it)
brush, toothbrush, toothpaste
camera
Food , like trail mix and bring pop
Money!!!
Camera
mp3 player
shampoo/conditioner|||oh my god, that sounds fun!! the weather should be nice, but i am always catious when i pack< my husband says i always pack too much> i bring 5 pairs of shorts, 5 tanktops, 5 t shirts, 3 pairs of jeans, some skirts, 3 pairs of shoes, pleanty of undergarments, 4 swimsuits, 1 sweater, 2 longsleeve shirts, and lots of socks! have fun!!!|||It's usually warm in September, high in the low 90's, lows in the 60-70's. If you going right to the water park, pack your bathing suits (duh) and a change of clothes for when you leave. Capris and a t-shirt for you, shorts and a t-shirt for your boyfriend. (you'll not want to drive around after the water park in a wet bathing suit -- ick!) Oh, yea, don't forget to pack sandals or flip-flops.
Sun-tan lotion, moisturizer for when you leave (chlorine can really dry out your skin), a comb/brush and if you have long hair, something to pull it back with.
Even if you want to stop for a quick bite to eat, that end of town is very casual... you can go in almost any restaurant dressed in shorts and t-shirts.
For all your theme park activities, I'd suggest sneakers rather than sandals... but if you choose sandals, make sure they're very comfortable! Again, even in September, you can get burned real easy in Florida... never leave your hotel without putting the stuff on (don't forget your scalp and the tops of your ears..tops of your feet.)
If you forget anything, don't worry... you can buy whatever you forgot. We're a big city!
There are 8 of us and we are going to disney village in Paris for 2 nights (28/9 June)
We need to dine somewhere but don't know where.
It would be good to book in advance because we are clelebrating 2 birthdays and it would be a disappointment to be turned down.
Had thought about Planet Hollywood, anyway of booking and approx prices. We can't spend too much.
Thanks for your reccommendations!|||Online you should be able to find all the available places to eat, menues and numbers to book reservations. Since summers are busy, you must book a reservation for that many people to dine anywhere.|||thAt''s a very good idea indeed!
good luck and
au revoir|||very good idea. take your girlfriend their. she will be impressed. and give a rose too!|||pack a lunch
I saw a kiosk selling multi wear silk magic wrap skirts at the Planet Hollywood Hotel. I want one, but am no longer in Vegas. I looked online and only found them at alibaba.com. However, this is the wholesaler and I do not want to buy them in bulk (I just want one for myself). Does anyone know where I can purchase one? These are the skirts that can be worn 100 different ways (dress, skirt, wrap, etc.) and come with instructions. I am willing to buy one online or locally (I am in Salt Lake City).|||you can get them cheap on ebay.|||http://www.lysdy.com

|||Is this magic wrap like the infinite dress? Here's the website for the infinite dress: http://www.infinitedress.net/index.html
So, im going for meal at planet hollywood and i was wondering what i could wear, it has to be nice but not really dressy.
and pictures? cuz im totally lost!|||Black dress, black heeled boots = totally sexy.|||Well i'd wear a black chic dress, thats just me.
My links didn't work out, but basically a black chic dress, like very calm & not to much. & really cute heels.
Personally i would look for something in urban outfitters !
There black dresses are ADORABLE.(:
( my links that i posted were all from urbanoutffiters.com. )
sorry my links didn't work out!|||maybe nice pair of jeans, heels and a nice top. nice top and leggings. high waisted shorts with top tucked into them and a nice pair of shoes boots heels or flats. whatever you feel comfortable in|||cute top, skinny/straight jeans, heels (pumps/wedges) that should be enough for a night out with a bunch of teens (and for god sake, it's only planet hollywood!)|||Clothes. that's always a good start
my husband and i often have friends over and lots of times if the kiddos are running around we really enjoy a good board or interactive dvd games, like trivia games and such. we have pretty much exhausted scene it and trivial pursuit, monopoly, planet hollywood and canasta. so throw me some good ones i know they are out there but i need the names!!|||scrabble, boggle maybe...oh charades that's always a fun one...pictionary..get a giant white board or something and just start drawing...|||scrabble, if you don't think it's too nerdy or boring (can be very fun), who wants to be a millionaire, cranium, candyland!...Just kidding, clue, or there's this dice game called LCR that is rly fun for when there's a bunch of people over, even for kids; here's the link *CHEAP* :

I am pretty simple, it will be just my fiancee and I and I just basically want to wear a dress and get pictures. ha. I definately don't want to be cheesy though and do the elvis thing.. so here is a list of all the chapels, if someone could give me some advice on some of these places, like go here or stay away from this place.. etc..

|||Most of the chapels on Chapel Row are pretty cheesy. there are a few exceptions. I got married at the Monte Carlo hotel chapel. I would go for the hotel chapels over the strip ones just because they are nicer, and they provide everything for you. I planned my whole wedding over the phone!!!! The ceremony takes about 10 minutes or so. It can be as formal or informal as you like. Word to the wise. When you come out of the court house to get the license, DO NOT go with any of the limo drivers outside waiting. They try to sell you on their chapels for like $25!!!! You will get what you pay for!!!!! When we came out, there was a lilac colored limo complete with purple interior ready to take us to the Lavender Chapel down the street!!!! I don't even know if it's there anymore!!! It was 6 years ago. |||A Little White Wedding Chapel||| Some friend's of ours just got married in the Elvis chapel and had a blast!
The groom and bm rented Elvis tuxs
Elvis sung a song when she walked down the aisle
Did the vows
And then he broke out into viva las vegas and the the bridal party danced along!
They are hving a Las Vegas themed reception here in a few weeks for everyone to go to.
I am tring to find the video but cant find it now on anyone's myspace page. |||I'm not sure if it's on the list because I don't remember what it was called but . . . a friend of mine got married in the chapel at Tropicana. It was very pretty and had a (wait for it) tropical theme, lol. Then we moved over to one of the ballrooms for a small reception - but I don't think it was a requirement to have a reception on top of the ceremony. It was surprisingly nice for all being planned over the telephone - and I'm a caterer so I tend to analyze it anytime I go to a catered event.
Vegas is still a bit of a cliche - but it doesn't have to be cheesy or tacky. God knows it's what I'm going to do, lol!
We are young and want to party with young people like us. we are debating between Hardrock and Planet hollywood. Hardrock hotel is off the strip unlike PH, but it looks like it has more going on there then at PH, also it's about 30 bucks a night cheaper...?? where would you stay in my situation?? only tell me if you have been to either hotel or know people that have stayed there but any infor helps THANKS...|||I agree with the answer Bill gave above and will also add that the rooms at PH are much better than Hard Rock.
However if you plan to spend a Sunday in Vegas you might consider Hard Rock since you get 4 complimentary passes to Rehab, the greatest pool party in town.|||Its just a hotel room and Hardrock is not that far from the strip and even if you go party somewhere else your a short walk or short cab ride back to the hotel. Its not really that big of a deal. If its your first time in Las Vegas I would suggest staying on the strip its a great time and you will want to check out all the other hotels and sites. Have fun!|||Planet Hollywood rooms are amazing and is a new hotel, down side is there is no casino.... who cares about that though. Never been to Hard Rock but I have also heard good things about it too. If you really want to party right check out Wet Republic at the MGM Grand or Encore Beach Club at the Encore.|||I think both hotels are great, but i would stay at Hardrock because just across the road is the Double Down Saloon. which is a great bar to see live bands and have a great night. Ph is on the strip, so i guess it depends on what kind of party scene you are in to.|||Your going to find more of your crowd at either, PH, Hard Rock hotel or MGM Grand.. I would go with PH then Hard Rock, then MGM Grand!! But you cant go wrong with either, it would just come down to how much you want to pay..|||If you plan to rent a car while in Vegas, stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. If not, stay at Planet Hollywood|||stay on the strip
Its my birthday in just over 2weeks so I am looking for somewhere different and fun to go in London, I have done things like London Zoo and Roller Disco for previous birthdays and now I like the idea of something with a theme if possible, like a 50's Diner, a restaurant with great interior or a fab cocktail bar.
I don't want to go to Hard Rock Cafe, Rainforest or Planet Hollywood.
Thanx for your help. x|||All Star Lanes would be perfect for you. The original in Holborn has a diner and a bar, a cute bowling alley, and cool 50s themed club nights with retro bands playing.

I'm looking for the name of an artist who paints nighttime scenes and most of the paintings have building in them with lights on inside. The paintings are done with dark blues and very vibrant oranges. I have seen his/her work at an art gallery that was at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!|||Could it be Leonid Afremov?

Traveling to Vegas on a weekend getaway with my girl friends (ages 23-25). Any advice on where we should stay? We were considering: Caesar's Palace, Mandalay Bay, Planet Hollywood, The Hardrock, or The Palms. We would like to be around the younger crowd with great nightlife. Thanks for your help :)|||mandalay bay|||Palms caters to the younger professional crowds. Hard Rock is young and wild and not as professional as the Palms. Mandalay Bay is more relaxed and pool oriented. Planet Hollywood is th wilder and more California styled. Caesars is a more sophistacted crowd. Decide which you would prefer to be around and go with it.|||Hoes are welcome everywhere... and its summer... so the "younger" whore it up crowd will be basically everywhere... caesars palace is very nice and you can shop it up for some skanky wear at the giant mall before you go get drunk and take some guys back to your hotel room
remember.. not EVERYTHING stays in vegas.... like STD's which vegas is the most common place for people to get std's.. but have fun with that debauchery|||Weekends are spendy. If you have a car and you are only going to be there for the weekend check out the Orleans. 1.5 mile straight shot to the heart of the strip, good buffet, large inexpensive rooms. Seriously the place is really well rated for a mid range hotel. If it was not the weekend then the prices on stip hotels are much much cheaper.|||Mandalay Bay is really nice, but I would suggest something in the middle of the strip like Cesar's Palace. Thats pretty much smack dab center. Have fun! I just got back from Vegas with my Husband and we had a blast. It's adult Chuck E Cheese.|||Based on my experience, I don't know why, but MGM attracts a lot of hot young males. You and your girl friends won't be disappointed.
But I always suspect those hot young males might be gay. And MGM is the place they come to cruise.|||Caesars Palace or Planet Hollywood
Hard Rock and The Palms aren't on the strip so I wouldn't bother staying there if I were you.
Mandalay Bay is beautiful but it's too far from everything.|||They're all pretty good but I wouldn't stay at the palms or hard rock (location wise). I go every year and I liked MGM best in terms of the crowd.|||You can stay at my house|||agree with glass above.. but since you mentioned liking the younger crowd you do have to consider The palms|||Palms or stay at Caesar's and you can walk to anywhere you want to go.|||Mandalay Bay hands down best place out there.|||MGM|||Monte Carlo
Going there May 1st, planning to go to The Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood, some Epcot restaurants and probably some other WDW restaurants too. The two latter I need to make reservations ahead for (from what I've read and heard about it...), but how about the Rainforest Cafe and Planet Hoolywood? And for restaurants in general? Is it necessary to make reservations ahead?|||I would suggest getting reservations, or going at an "off" time. Such as eating a late lunch or early dinner at 3 or 4 pm.
When I went last year we made reservations for Planet Hollywood- all they had open was 8pm, and it was crowded. (we would have prefered earlier, but we were calling on the same day and took what we could get)
Rainforest Cafe usually isn't too bad. You have 2 of those in Disney World- one is at Animal Kingdom and the other in Downtown Disney. Both are excellant! Depending on how large your party is, you had better make your reservations FAST! If you have only 2 or 3 people, you might actually be able to get right in with a short wait/ no reservation. We ended up doing this for one meal when we were there. We wanted a to make a reservation for 5, but they had none available. We were there when the restaurant (50's Prime Time Cafe in MGM) first opened for the day (like 11:30am) and there was NO one there, and they still wouldn't seat us, so we ended up breaking into 2 groups and got seated immediately!
Enjoy your trip!! And "bon appetit"|||If you know the dates and whether you want lunch or dinner, it is always a good idea to go for the reservations, but it is really not necessary for either. Especially at lunch time, they arent usually that busy.|||it's better to make reservation for the disney park and resort restaurants. just call (407)WDW-DINE. as for rainforest and planet hollywood, it is not necessary to make a reservation although it's possible. it's probably better to make one just because orlando will start to get busy during the summer time.|||i would make reservations in advance for anything in that area at that time. cant hurt...|||Restaurants in general do require reservations in advance.|||You don't need to make reservations for Rainforest Cafe. You may have a short wait, but its never very long. As for Planet Hollywood, definitely make reservations. They have a list out front and its always long. In my opinion, their food isn't the best. So I recommend going there for their fantastic desserts instead.
Any restaurant which is specified as a sit down (and especially character meals or buffets) will require a reservation, or you may show up and not be able to dine there. So definitely plan out your days first and then figure out where you'd like to eat!
Be sure to read up on the tips and advice as well as sign up for the E-Newsletter at http://www.easybreezyplanning.com
Have a great trip!|||i would definitly make reservations to all dining experiences, especially rainforest cafe and planet hollywood, we made all reservations to every restraunt we are going to attend to in may to be sure we have availability.
MGM, Treasure Island, or Planet Hollywood.|||All three would be fine. MGM is so huge .. it takes forever to just get from your room to anywhere, even to the strip. TI has a show out front several times a night and it gets very congested with people just standing and waiting for the show. It get difficult to even get in and out of the property at those times. Planet Hollywood seems to have the best location .. putting you close to which ever direction you want to go on the strip. My choice would be PH.|||Actually I recommend the Stratosphere, for the price it can't be beat. It is also a very cool hotel and offers the best view of The city that you are going to find. Also the slots have slghtly better odds than others on the Strip, that is debateable and almost irrelevant even if true, the odds are against you no matter what. The Strat is still cool and one of the best bargains on the Strip.|||I personally will stay at Treasure Island or MGM Grand. TI for the location and the specials deals they are running till the end of the year. Also a very clean hotel. MGM Grand comes in a close second. Here are the deals for both hotels. Use promo codes and save.|||Caesars Palace|||Flamingo is nice and is in the middle of the strip which is key to being in Vegas...its cheap and it houses Jimmy Buffets "Margaritaville".|||I really like MGM, it has a great atmosphere IMO. It is close to everything because you can also use the monorail station at MGM. Before you book check the current hotel promotions on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com in order to save money.|||I don't like PH I used to like Aladdin but think that they have removed the atmosphere and class with the conversion to PH.
I like MGM Great location great offers biggest standard rooms of any hotel of its class, has nice bars and must be the only hotel in the world with real lions. Its also cool as you can be there in 10 mins for the airport.
TI is Ok but in my opinion not as nice as MGM it is also much smaller, the rooms are smaller and it tends to be more expensive, the pools are not as good nor are the choices of places to eat but it does have Mystere.
Look for bets offers directly with the hotels here http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008鈥?/a>|||MGM is nice, i dont think TI is that nice PH is good too...dont do the stratosphere it is at the end of the strip and far from alot...NYNY is good and so is Manday Bay....stick around the Excalber NYNY area alot right there|||I would chose Treasure Island, love their rooms. And it is by Wynn, Palazzo, Venetiain, and walking distance to Caesars.
Or MGM which is by Monte Carlo, NYNY, Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay. But I have never stayed at MGM
Planet Hollywood is the remake of the old Aladdin, small and not right next to any casino but walking distance/long to several|||All of these hotels have very nice rooms, so let's try it this way
LOCATION:
MGM Grand is on South Strip on the most popular corner. It has a monorail station in it so you can easily get from one end of the strip to the other. It is also short walking distance to everything including center strip, M & M World, and Walgreens. This is personally my favorite side of the strip to stay on.
Planet Hollywood is on Center strip right across from Bellagio. It is right in the middle of the action and is a newer hotel so it just got a facelift.
Treasure Island is further up toward North strip. It is still in the middle of everything considering Mirage is next door and Venetian is across the street. It is also a very short walk to the Fashion Show Mall.
PRICE: http://smartervegas.com/
-MGM Grand has specials from $69/night or $90/night with the 3rd night free
-Planet Hollywood has specials for $89/night with 50% off the 2nd night
-Treasure Island is running specials from $55/night
ROOMS:
The MGM Grand has large guest rooms at 446 sqft. They have double pillowtop mattresses, classic motif, black and white marble bathrooms, thick cotton towels, roomy closets, and safes.
Treasure Island has many room upgrade options, but for their standard rooms, they have floor to ceiling windows with various views, they have Elite SensaTIonal beds, marble bathrooms, and in-room safe. You can upgrade to a view room that is on a higher floor and offers views of the strip, the Tropical Lagoon, or the Volcano at the Mirage.
Planet Hollywood offers rooms that are chic, yet plush, 450+ sqft, and standard amenities. They are tastefully decorated.
I don't know if this tells you anything you don't already know, but if I had to choose between the three, I would probably pick MGM Grand just because of it's location. I prefer being slightly away from the center than right in the action.
|||Hooters Resort and Casino|||mgm hands down|||I've been there several times & stayed at Treasure Island every time. It's in a great location (the center of the strip), the hotel is nice.
What I like most is, the casino is so well set that, once you leave & enter the hotel, you forget you're even in a casino. It's quiet, the view is great.
Hope it helps; have fun!
We are staying at the Planet Hollywood, in a "holly hip room"...will yall please give us some reviews and hints about the hotel?! Thanks so much.|||I didn't stay there, but...
1. It has good gambling. During the day they have $5 Blackjack, which is about as cheap as it gets on the south end of the strip. They allow smoking in the casino though. Yuck.
2. They have some shows there. Scarlett Princess of Magic isn't very good because it's obvious how she does the tricks. Watch this only if you want to see how magic tricks are done. I heard V: The Ultimate Variety Show and Gregory Popovich's Comedy and Pet Theater are good but I haven't seen them.
3. It's in a good location at the south end of the strip.
4. It's big. |||I went to google and type in review for planet hollywood in las vegas and there was a bunch of good ones and a bunch of bad ones. here are half and half. hope this helps :)

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. We arrived on 9-1-08 and left 9-05-08. Valet parking was very rude and slow. It took them almost 30 minuntes to get our rental car and if you complained, they really didnt care. The food started out great but rapidly went downhill. The cocktail servers inside the casino were rude and would not get our correct server so we could order drinks. Every other hotel/casino we visited had excellent service but this one. They even tried to get us to buy a timeshare here! We will never go back to this hotel ever!!!!!

The Armoire
Planet Hollywood from Bellagio perspective
View of Bellagio Fountain from our Room
The location of this hotel is one of the best. We stayed there twice before when it was the Aladdin. The bathrooms are fabulously laid out. The new remodel is very nice. However, the bed wasn't attached to the wall or headboard and everytime my husband and I tried to sit on the bottom of the bed the top of the bed lifted off the floor almost sending us to the floor. The colors in the hallways aren't the most attractive but the changes to the Miracle Mile are mostly nice, although I did love the look when it was the Dessert Passage. They have improved the flooring, it is not as hard on your feet and legs that the stamped concrete use to be. They have a wonderful selection of stores there now, also. One other change that has not turned out to be an improvement is the armoire in the rooms. I can hang more clothes, but they do not supply enough hangers. There are only tiny drawers and you have to always open a door to get to these drawers. The end tables, although they are nice, do not offer any additional storage for your items. This was quite upsetting since I had to cram a lot of stuff into very little space. I guess if you only stay for 2 or 3 days it may be enough space...we usually stay about a week. One last complaint, the safe was high on a shelf in the armoire...short people, myself included, can't see into it to make sure we have gotten all of our belongings out. One last comment on improvements, a 42" flat screen TV...pretty nice. Overall, I do like this hotel, you can't beat the location.

Liked — The Location on the Strip
Disliked — Constantly being approached by "time share" sales people|||The Hollywood Hip rooms have some nicer amenities than the regular room - big tvs, good beds, movie memorabilia. The hotel is nice, and has just been renovated so it's all spiffy. When you check in, ask if you are getting a recently renovated room, and also ask if you can have a view of the Bellagio fountains.
The buffet is good - and there are plenty of other places to eat, both in the hotel and in the attached shopping area - the Miracle Mile (http://www.planethollywoodresort.com/pdf…
the casino and bars attract a youngish (20's, early 30's) crowd and has a lot of energy. The pool area is nothing to write home about - very unflashy compared to some of the other pools on the strip. If you like shopping, you'll totally enjoy the Miracle Mile.
The location is good - an inexpensive cab ride to everywhere on the strip, and this time of year a pleasant walk to Paris, Bally's, and Bellagio, It's next door to MGM Grand, but MGM is so big, be prepared for a lot of walking if you head that way.|||This hotel is really awesome! I was not sure I was going to like it but it is fast becoming my favorite hotel in Las Vegas (kind of a tie with the Palazzo right now)!
You can actually see some good pics of the planet hollywood hotel over at http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/Planet…
Have fun!
were going to broadway in new york and either seeing 1) wicked 2) spider man 3)and the addams family
to eat were going to either 1) planet hollywood 2) hardrock cafe and i forgot the 3rd 1 which 1 is the best ?? in movies and places to eat ? and its all $100 so its really good|||Sounds good.Either one is a treat.
We had one with the Palazoo and we know the Cosmopolitan has them,does anyone know if,Paris,Ceasars,or Planet Hollywood has them,ground floor is good,view does not matter to us,thanks for your help|||Sorry but Paris, Caesars or Planet Hollywood does not have a terrace. I recommend you Comso..|||Look no further. The Cosmopolitian is where you want to be. Simply a beautiful inexpensive resort with great view. Take advantage of their special rates.|||The COSMOPOLITAN of LAS VEGAS|||Stay at the Signature at MGM Grand, it's not directly on the strip but right behind it. It's an all suite hotel with walk out balconies! Super nice. I'm going and staying there in a week.|||Rio and Palms do
Planet Hollywood or Planet Unicorn. And why?
Travel > Travel (General) > General - Travel (General)|||Alpha Centauri because it was where the Jupiter 2 was going before they got lost in space.|||I'd go to planet unicorn, kill one, and kill myself with it's horn. Geez... |||Planet Unicorn. Those horns they have fetch big money in China.|||NEPTUNEEEEEE!|||Uranus!
LOL|||Planet Unicorn.
I'd bring enough back to start a farm and then open Planet Unicorn (the restaurant).|||Planet Manicorn.
|||Planet Unicorn. 'Cause I bet there are some faeries there...and where there are faeries, there is magical faerie dust.|||I'd go to Saturn. It's as far out into the deep solar system as you can go, and still be able to spot Earth (it would be the wee blue dot in your lower right-hand corner). ^__^
Catch is...I'd want to be genetically re-engineered so I can *survive* unaided and butt-naked, on both *Earth And Saturn too*. This way, once the vacation's done, I could come back to earth *way stronger and tougher* than before, since I'd be adapted to the extreme cold, atmospheric pressure, and *High Gravity*.
Heh. Didn't think of that one did you? I wouldn't *quite be* superman, but it would be close enough for *me*. ^__^
That'll work....|||I'd go to wherever my relatives are from 'cause they certainly aren't human!
Planet Hollywood because I have been there, no other reason.
im going to hang out with some friends on Saturday, they said that were going to Manhattan...were gonna eat in either Planet Hollywood or Olive Garden...how much money should i bring/need? ive never eat there before|||prolly the best amound to bring would be at least $60. they are expensive places.|||You will probably need a good 50.00 especially if you drink|||drinks= 10 x 4 =$40 (you should rotate between alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, 2 alcohol and 2 dry drinks for more fun)
food= 50 x 1 =$50
parking= 40 x 1=$40 (take the mass transit so you stay late and sober up)
Cab fare=15 x1=$15
Total $145|||40 to 50|||If you plan on having any drinks, don't even think about bringing any less than $100. However, if you're going to NYC, why go to either resturant? There are hundreds of other places to eat that have better food, and are more reasonably priced.
Hi, I'm going to Las Vegas 29th Oct. Should I book shows such as Stomp, Bite, or Blue Man Group in advance or will I be able to book them when I get there - do they book up quickly? (I'm staying a Planet Hollywood so will I get priority for Stomp?)
Which shows would you recommend.
Thanks|||I went to see Mamma Mia while in Vegas, I just booked it while I was there, a couple of days before I wanted to go!
Also had no problem booking blue man group while there either!
However if you want to see someone like Celine Dion, you definately need too book before you go!
Travel agents can help with this, or if in vegas,just go to the hotel to book it!|||Yes!!!! I would they get really booked up!|||Depends on what you want to see. Some of them you can get in right away. I would NOT recommend the Blue Man Group, my husband loved them but my daughter and I did NOT. I really enjoyed Mama Mia. Have fun and bring warm clothes, it's getting chilly here at night.|||You must see the Blue Man Group. Okay big shows Like "O" should be ordered in advanced, the "BMG" on a week day other
than Friday advance tickets are not needed. ANYTHING on a weekend will need advanced booking.|||The hottest shows often sell out, so I'd recommend buying tickets now. Don't leave it to chance.
In general, there's no priorty for hotel guests for their shows - unless you're a VIP.
I'd go with Stomp, Blue Man, or almost any of the Cirque Du Soleil ones - with the exception of Zumanity.|||Yes you need to book now. If you wait until you get there it will be too late. Go to these web sites.

Bite has a 2-for-1 coupon which you can print right here:

So for Stomp I would book in advance for Bite I would just take the printout and present it at the boxoffice.
If you worry about the shows selling out then that can only happen with "blue man group" and "stomp" and not likely that will happen but if you want better seats you might want to order in advance.
There are some other good discounted shows with 2-for-1 discounts you might also find interesting like Hans Klok (w/ Pamela Anderson and more...)

i know you can drink in the hotels etc, but i was hoping to find a bar where its not to expensive, just a few beers after all the foot slogging,!!! im stopping at planet hollywood hotel, so any answers will be thankfull ,|||Well theres bars literally everywhere. If you are wondering where the cheap ones are, here are a few - OSheas, Slots of Fun, Bills, Gold Coast ... all of those have $1 or $2 beers and $1 margaritas / pina colodas etc.
Avoid the ritzy places at the ritzy hotels unless you want to pay $7 for a stinkin beer.
Anywhere downtown also has cheap drinks.|||Venture from the strip and your destined to find multiple dive bars. Other than that your pretty much stuck with the casino bars. I lived in Vegas for 7 years and the strip wasn't where we went to drink.|||hi i've not been there but u can find what u want by typing in ur requirement in google and search for the same.... u'll get to know. anyways njoy in vegas... best wishes|||Go to Carnival Court at Harrahs. I had a blast. Also try Bills and O'shea's. They are all next to each other.
Do you remember the bombings in the mid and late 90s around South Africa and Cape Town in particular. They were pipe bombs that exploded in St. Elmos - Camps Bay, Planet Hollywood - V&A Waterfront, New York Bagels - Sea Point etc. etc.
Did they ever catch the responsible people?
What was it all about?
Was it only in predominantly European areas?|||If i remember correctly those bombings were caused by PAGAD(people against gansterism and drugs)who are a fundamentalist muslim organisation.

They never did catch the perpetrators, did they?

As for recommendations, here are mine :)
TABLE SERVICE
Epcot: Le Cellier (Canada), San Angel Inn (Mexico), Rose & Crown (UK)
Hollywood Studios: Brown Derby, 50s Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Dine In
Animal Kingdom: Tusker House, Yak & Yeti
Magic Kingdom: Crystal Palace (the buffet previously mentioned "near" the Castle), Liberty Tree Tavern, Cinderella's Royal Table
Resorts: Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge), Boma (Animal Kingdom Lodge), Cape May Cafe (Yacht & Beach Club), Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian), Chef Mickey's (Contemporary)
QUICK SERVICE
Epcot: Sunshine Seasons
Hollywood Studios: The group of QS locations near Tower of Terror. It's set up like a farmer's market.
Animal Kingdom: Pizzafari
Magic Kingdom: Pecos Bill, Cosmic Ray's, Columbia Harbor House (my favorite)|||I prefer fun restaurants as opposed to hoity-toity ambiance. These are my favorites in no particular order...
50's Prime Time Cafe - super fun "Role Playing" restaurant. Like eating dinner at Leave it to Beaver's house!!
Sci-Fi Drive In - fun drive in movie theme. The restaurant is "outside" (inside decorated to look like outside), the tables are cars and they loop old science fiction movie clips
Coral Reef - This is a seafood restaurant - and I don't actually like seafood - we went there for the first time last trip and this might be my very favorite restaurant. We ate at an odd time, so the place was nearly empty and we could ramble up and down looking at everything and the chicken was dee-lish.
Tusker House (AK park)/Boma (AK Hotel) - Interesting and eclectic food offerings. Fun to explore the different tastes.
Whispering Canyon Cafe - We go every time. Whoop & Hollar kind of a place with family style stick-to-your-ribs food. Don't forget to ask for the ketchup!!
1900 Park Place - Evening - Character Dinner (Buffet) - with Cinderella, Prince Charming, the evil step-sisters and the wicked step-mother. Everybody acts out and you're encouraged to join. (Although it appears to me that the step-sisters are only evil to each other!!)
World showcase - pick your favorite ethnic food and eat it!!
Hoop-dee-doo Musical Revue - Vaudville type dinner show. Corny, but fun. (Takes two table service credits)
Crystal Pavilion - Breakfast Buffet - Good food, Winnie the Pooh characters and a jump start on the park.
Happy eating!|||We've been to WDW 13 times. Last year we celebrated my birthday at Ohana's at the Polynesian Resort. We could see & hear the Wishes fireworks & see the electric light parade on the water (check schedule for these events). It was a fantastic experience! We love the buffet at Boma's at the Animal Kingdom Lodge-both breakfast & dinner are great. The Whispering Canyon Cafe is lots of fun at the Wilderness Lodge. They have fabulous ribs. The Coral Reef at Epcot is a nice experience, where you can watch the fish while you dine. The Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom is lovely for any meal. For fast food in the Magic Kingdom we enjoy: The Columbia Harbour House, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe, & El Pirata y el Perico Restaurant (only open for limited time at lunch). In Epcot there is: The Lotus Blossum Cafe (China), & La Cantina De San Angel. In Disney's Hollywood Studio: The Pizza Planet is fun. In the Animal Kingdom: Restaurantosaurus.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE PLACES I HAVE EATEN AT...THERE ALL REALLY GOOD!!!:):)|||-Cinderella's Royal Table
-Coral Reef Restaurant (great views of the Seas and great food)
-Electric Umbrella Restaurant (great for just a healthy, grab and go lunch)
-Teppan Edo (Benihana style teppanyaki at Epcot)
-Sci fi Dine in Theater (the food is so-so, you eat here for the retro sci fi previews! and you get to sit in a "car" for a table)
-Flame Tree Barbecue (mm bbq is just what you need at animal kingdom)
-Any place at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (the african inspired food is delicious)
-California Grill (great at night when you want a premiere view of the fireworks show over the Magic Kingdom)
-Chef Mickey's (WDW's version of Goofy's Kitchen. Great breakfast place if you have children!)
-T-Rex, A Prehistoric Family Adventure (I haven't eaten here, but it looks amazing!)|||Our families favorite is 'Ohana in the Polynesian Resort. At 'Ohana they serve meat. Steak, Turkey, Shrimp and Pork are brought around to guests on big skewers and piled on your plate. (My wife tells me the green stuff is really good too.) If you are a meat lover, this is the place for you.
Every 30 minutes or so, kids are invited to come to the aisles and play games. The games are island games like roll a coconut with a broom or hula hoop. The kids love it, and parents love watching it.
Finally they serve you the best dessert you'll ever taste. Save some room.|||Magic Kingdom-Crystal Palace(make a reservation its a character buffet)
Epcot-The Garden Grill (reservation really nice rotating restaurants a la carte)or Le Chefs de France(can make a reservation)
Hollywood Studios-Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano
Animal Kingdom-Pizzafari,Rain forest Cafe or Restaurants
Downtown Disney-Bongos(Cuban cuisine owned by Gloria Estefan only has locations in Disney and Miami)|||there is a buffet in disney world's magic kingdom right by the castle that is really good. forget the name of the asian/japan food place in epcot but thats good, there is a buffet in the wilderness lodge area by the tent and motorhomes that is really good.|||Magic Kingdom: Pecos Bill's, Tony's, Main Street Bakery (for breakfast)
Epcot: San Angel Inn (Mexico pavilion), Rose & Crown (England Pavilion)
MGM: Prime Time Cafe, Sci-Fi Diner, Starring Rolls (for breakfast)|||A good one that I ate at was Chef Mickey's. Its a buffet which is nice, and a few of the characters are there.|||Try the country dinners in Epcot. Love the German beer garden|||zig zags|||Tusker House Restaurant (Counter Service) - Located in the back left corner of the Animal Kingdom, Tusker House is nicely themed and there is always plenty of seating available. At breakfast, you can get a pretty big plate of hot breakfast items for about $5, or the pastries are fabulous. I recommend the cinnamon rolls. Later in the day, some pretty high quality “fast food” is served, including delicious rotisserie chicken and several sandwiches. Tusker house is a great place to get out of the heat and get some good food quickly.
50's Prime Time Cafe (Casual Sit-Down) - Located in Disney's MGM Studios, The Prime Time Cafe is not so much a restaurant as an experience. The 50’s theme is evident in the décor, where guests sit in a kitchen and are served by their waiter Dad or waitress Mom. Be warned, your server will not be hesitant to scold you about elbows on the table or failing to finish your vegetables! The menu is classic comfort food such as fried chicken and pot roast. Chicken Pot Pie is my recommendation. The café is a little pricey, but worth experiencing at least once. Dinner is significantly more expensive, so to me this is more of a lunch place.
Boulangerie Patisserie (Counter Service) - This busy little bakery is located in the France section of Epcot’s World Showcase. The pastries are to die for, and make a perfect treat to eat while waiting for the nightly firework show to start. Selections include Chocolate Mousse, Croissants, and my favorite Palmiers. Mickey Mouse Cookies are popular with younger visitors, but I think the pastries are much better. All of the treats are under $5.00. The line can seem overwhelming at this bakery, but it moves fast as there are two sides of the bakery serving. Cute café tables are available outside the bakery. Just remember, calories don’t count when you are on vacation!
California Grill (Sit Down, Buisness Casual) - Located at the the Contemporary, this restaurant offers the best views of any Disney eatery. The food is fabulous and diners are entitled to use the restaurant's private verandah for fireworks that evening regardless of their reservation time. We were impressed with the wine list, and don't miss the delicious Goat Cheese Ravioli appetizer or the Rasberries, Chocolate, and Raspberries dessert.
San Angel Inn (Sit-Down) - Located in Epcot, this is my pick for the most romantic place to dine in any of the theme parks. Diners get to enjoy the ambience of the Mexico pavilion, complete with a starry sky and view of the boat ride and temple scene. The service here is fabulous, and the restaurant seems quieter than many others in the park. I love the Mole Pablano, which is chicken breast in a chocolate sauce. Just goes to show chocolate makes anything great! Be sure to try the yummy (and very large) margaritas, one is enough for me generally. Although the atmosphere is more formal than some other restaurants, theme park attire is always acceptable within the parks.
Spoodles (Casual- Sit Down) Located at the Boardwalk Resort, I love this restaurant partly because of its location on the Boardwalk. If you have a wait to be seated, you can walk along the pier and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Spoodles is open for all three meals, but feels most like a dinner place to me. The atmosphere inside is bright and cheerful, with wooden tables and mismatched fiesta ware dishes. The original concept for this Mediterranean restaurant was that it would offer only Tapas, small portions of food to be shared. The menu has broadened a bit to include regular entrees as well, but I often order from the Tapas portion. The Flatbreads are delicious, and every meal comes with crusty bread and hummus. The Pork Chop on mashed potatoes is very nice as well, with a unique sauce and spices. I enjoy dining here because it has a bright, festive atmosphere and I think it would be a great place to go with a large group.
Main Street Bake Shop (Counter Service) - Located at Magic Kingdom, there is something very special about stopping for breakfast on Main Street. The baked goods all seem so fresh and homemade, although I am a bit distressed that Krispy Kreme has infiltrated the bakery. I like the Apple Danish and Chocolate Chip Muffins. The shop is not very crowded when the park opens, but it can get busy around 10 when people start to take a break. Stopping here for breakfast isn’t necessarily a great idea if you are on a tight schedule, but if you have a little extra time to relax its fun to sit here and watch the crowds go by in the morning. If you’d rather stop in the afternoon or evening for a sweet treat, try a Chocolate Chip Cookie or Bearclaw.
Kona Cafe (Casual Sit-Down) - This is in the Polynesian Resort. We were surprised at the high quality of food and nice atmosphere available at this little restaurant. The food has Polynesian influences, but not too adventurous for picky eaters. The Barbecued Pork Sandwich and Mahi-Mahi sandwich are particularly good. I

If that doesn't help - it's full of shops so you can always go shopping or try the most ridiculous items you see in some of these clothes shops and take photos you being in them with friends.
Being 17 can be a really fun time of being yourself and not thinking about pressures. However, you can also search on the net for clubs that are doing under 18's stuff.
Hope this was helpful|||Go out for a meal
Was it good? Also, what songs were performed? It's now playing at Planet Hollywood [formerly Aladdin]. I'm probably going to see it. ♥|||I have seen the Fab four. They put on a wonderful show. They have been at Alladin/Planet Hollywood for a couple years. I actually got to see the band develop over the years. They started by entering sound-alike competitions at Beatles conventions. They perform absolutely EVERYTHING, live. They use no backing tracks or sequencers of any kind. Their bassist, Ardy, recently had a major heart operation. He is back, in top form.
The show changes slightly as they try to keep it fresh. But you will hear all the popular hits played. They also change costumes to match the period.
They have a web site. I've included the link, below. I have also included a link to a YouTube clip. Don't worry, the person who posted the clip, does clear up the picture quality a few seconds into the clip.|||I ma sorry but I have not seen it but from goldstar you can get tickets for much chaper sometimes they are evne free !!

Check out the Bank at the Bellagio, Pure at Caesar's, Tao at Venetian, and XS at the Wynn. They're all amazing and you wont' be disappointed. Also, regarding your hotel, make sure you book with a promo code as well.
You can find them at http://www.mycheapvegas.com
There's a list of the most popular things to do, as well as free coupons inside as well.
Cheers!|||The shows I recommend are Terry Fator and Blue Man Group. I would enjoy a buffet or two, esp for those that have all day pricing. The clubs popularity changes monthly. I would look at our local paper www.lvrj.com, click on entertainment and then the neon section that describes each club. Everyone has a dif opinion.|||Get some strippers. Both male and female.
What happened to this guy, didn't he used to have credibility?
Now, he's all "planet hollywood bandwagon'|||Geraldo is as empty as Al Capone's vault.|||he was always a weirdo.|||I'm still laughing at his $25.00 banana comment when all the illegals were marching in the streets. Hey Geraldo, there is one banana farm in Ventura Ca. It is a tourist attraction. Bananas don't grow here.|||he is not a tool of the media , he is just a tool|||Geraldo? Credibility? He invented Ambush Journalism. It's where you hide and jump out at a subject with your camera and demand that he answer your questions immediately. When you run because you figure Geraldo is some kind of weirdo, then Geraldo figures he's won because you're running away.
Let's see, and THEN he elevated his credibility with a Springer-like talk-show where trailer trash beat up on each other.
And then he was banned from accompanying troop movements because he was globally broadcasting them where even the enemy could see it.
Yeah, credibility, that's it, yep. The only person with more credibility is Tom Cruise where he's jumping all over Oprah's sofa like Bonzo the chimp.
I like travelling alone as then i can do and go where i want but i have always wanted to see like a Broadway play or go for dinner in hip places like Planet Hollywood and TGI in Times Square but i am a bit embarrassed to go to these places on my own
Does anyone else feel that way|||Don't feel embarrassed at all! Going to these places alone will allow you to enjoy the impact of them without a companion to distract you. You may even meet new friends on your venture in the city, but please remember to be careful. New York may be a city of lights, but night falls there just like anywhere else. Enjoy the night life, but don't get reckless! I don't mean to sound overbearing, but make sure you call a cab if you have far to walk and during the day, if you get lost, don't be shy to ask for directions. (it is really easy to get lost in the big city.)
You sound like you know what you're doing though, so good luck and I hope you have fun! |||My friend, don't feel embarrassed, just have a good time.
Good luck
Hi I was wondering if anyone had info on the distance from Planet hollywood resort in Las vegas to the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard resort
and if so what the road conditions are generally like in January? chains required on the highway 156 I assume?
thankyou kindly|||Depending on the weather conditions, an hour away is a safe estimate. Road conditions are generally pretty good until you get close to the mountain. And even there, they clear it pretty well. You'll need chains if there's a blizzard or something.
If you're staying at PH, make sure you have the lowest rate, there's a 30% off special right now.
You can find it at http://www.mycheapvegas.com
Cheers!|||The ski resort is on Mt Charleston in Lee Canyon, about one hour drive in good weather. But in January chains can be required; you never know. In fact if the weather is really bad they close the road. You can always check on the Nevada Highway Patrol web|||It is about an hours drive. If chains are required, it will be the last few miles as you will have warm desert temperatures until you start up the mountains.
We are a young couple in our early 30's
Last year we went to Vegas. stayed at the Planet Hollywood. We had lots of fun, just wish we could have went swimming. LOL. it snowed
any suggestions, any other state or city we could travel to this year|||Hawaii is probably the best place to visit this year as they have started to lower the prices, finally. Florida is busy that time of year because of their weather.|||Come to New Orleans! It's lovely at Christmas time. Stay in a nice old hotel in the French Quarter or in a Garden District bed and breakfast. If you will be in town on December 20, there is the annual carolling in Jackson Square. Really fun and romantic. That is, if you are into Christmas.

My reccommendation for a hotel is The Provincial. I've had a couple of "staycations" there and love it.
http://www.hotelprovincial.com/
Food? Good lord, where to start??? For a romantic dinner, you must go to Dick and Jenny's uptown. But they don't take reservations. Have breakfast at The Old Coffee Pot in the French Quarter. Get a hamburger at Port of Call in the French Quarter. Get a po-boy from Parkway Tavern on Bayou St. John.
Please come! You will not regret it, and may just want to move here!|||Not sure what part of the country your are from but San Diego is a great destination year round. It's beautiful there and there are lots of things to do. If you have extra time, take the hour and half drive to Los Angeles also.
http://www.socalthemeparks.com|||I recommend Encore in Las Vegas http://hubpages.com/hub/Encore-Las-Vegas
If not Las Vegas then San Francisco or Honolulu.|||And you ask someone who lives in Vegas! Come back to Vegas and enjoy hopefully better weather. It rarely snows in Vegas. This time try another hotel like Monte Carlo.
Otherwise, go see San Fran sisco|||MISSISSIPPI..... NICE PLACE

any suggestions on the nightlife? We are staying at Planet Hollywood from the 1st April-7th April.|||Be sure to visit the "old strip" or Fremont Street ... it's a really cool experience! You'll have to take a cab there if you're staying on/near the strip, but it's definitely worth it. There are many older casinos with very cheap (big) drinks + good gambling tables (some $2 blackjack). A couple blocks of Fremont Street are covered and every 15 minutes or so a laser light show to music plays -- it's really neat to watch!
Make sure you walk the strip and go through the major casinos. There are usually free shows or something to see at each.
You might want to take in a truly Las Vegas type show (you know, with the mostly naked ladies strutting around)....we went to one, and it was actually pretty good! Comedy shows are also big, as are magic shows. You should be able to get information on shows from the hotel/casino you are staying in.|||Be sure to check out all the casinos on the Strip and downtown (you can take the Deuce bus for $2 each way or $5 for a 24 hour pass, no need to take an expensive cab ride). Check out the Bellagio fountains, Fremont Street Experience and the show at TI. As for clubs, check out Tao at the Venetian or LAX at Luxor.
A group of 3, two girls and a gay guy, all single and 28 are looking for a place to stay in Vegas in July. We are wanting either the Luxor, MGM, or Planet Hollywood. The rooms we are looking at are all about the same price, we just want to know which would be best for all their amentities, location, customer service, comping, etc.|||Planet Hollywood has the best location followed by the MGM Grand and then Luxor.
MGM Grand has the best customer service, Planet Hollywood the worst
PH has mediocre comps thru Harrah's Total Rewards. Luxor and MGM is thru Mirage Club but you really have to play big for comps at MGM.
PH has the worst pool, MGM the best. Standard rooms are pretty good at PH with really nice baths, Luxor rooms are small and MGM is average. MGM has the best selection of restuarants, Luxor the worst.|||Planet Hollywood has the best location but I prefer MGM Grand, it has the best pool area in Vegas IMO. Before you book make sure to keep an eye on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for the newest promotions and offers, this will save money.
Here are the choices:
-The Hard Rock Cafe
-The was museum ( forgot the name, but it's close to Hard Rock)
-Ripleys Believe it or Not
-toys r us
-planet Hollywood (where the Disney stores are)
-ESPN
I'm a girl, and although I like to play them, I dont enjoy watching sports. I like snapping photos of things too.
Which should I choose? Why?
Pick 2 choices.|||ESPN is closed down.
The Hard Rock and Planet Hollywood are just cheesy chain restaurants with terrible expensive food.
The Wax Museum and Ripleys are tourist traps.
Toys R Us is a store.
I suggest you get away from Times Square and explore. If your into sports head up to the Bronx, and take a tour of Yankee Stadium.
If you want to go to a museum, go to the Met, MoMA, The Gugenheim or the Museum of Natural History.
Head down to the Village, Soho for funky shops and half way decent food.|||I'd pick the museum and avoid all of the others. You can do those other things ANYWHERE. Try finding unique things in New York: the museums, the parks, the neighborhoods, etc. One fun thing to do is walk the entire length of 5th avenue (up to about 90th street, it starts to get a bit more dangerous after that). You'll see lots of different neighborhoods.|||These aren't really fun attractions except the Ripley's museum. Museums like the Museum of Natural history, MoMa, Metropolitan museum of art and so forth are amazing and far better than these run of the mill tourist attractions.

If im staying at the planet hollywood hotel can I use other hotels like the Caesars Palace pool?|||No. The pool is an amenity included in your room rate. No room = no pool. You have to show or swipe your room key card to gain entrance into the pool area.|||Nope. Most of the hotels on the Vegas strip require your room key to get into the pool area, but if you have a friend staying at the hotel, you can usually get in with them.|||Sure, and people staying at Caesar's can use your room to change after they use the pool at PH.|||Most places make you show your room key to use the pool.|||Some hotels will now allow you to enjoy their pool for a daily price, eg $10 per person per day

Will be in Vegas late august with some friends. we plan to do a lot and are only intown for 3 days. while coming from the airport we want to stop by a liqour store to pick up some hard liquors and some mix. where are the closest locations are from the airport to planet hollywood. an approx address or link to the stores location would be great.|||There is one liquor store that I go to on every trip. It's near the Hard Rock as a point of reference. But every cab or limo driver knows it and when I say I need to go the the liquor store they all go to the same one and minutes from all the hotels on or near the Strip (i.e Planet Hollywood). I think it is called Strip Liquors.
3049 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 323
Las Vegas, NV 89109
Phone: (702) 733-9700|||theres one right behind the flamingo and bill's, come to think of it the liqior store is also called bill's.|||There are liquor stores everywhere and even in hotels they sell liquor.|||Liquor Stores are on every corner in our neighborhoods?
I need help making my mind up where I want to stay when I go to Las Vegas this summer my choices are Aria,Venetian,Planet Hollywood. Thanks for the help.|||It's a little hard to advise without knowing your age, what you are looking for, etc.
I will say that Venetian is one of my favorite hotels. It's got a great location near the center of the strip, and all the rooms are suites. There are some great shows and restaurants in and around Venetian, and also good shopping. There is also a great club there - Tao.
But Aria is brand new and beautiful, so it might be worth checking out. Planet Hollywood is pretty nice, and is a good party hotel with a young crowd, probably the best on the strip. The other big party places - Hard Rock and Palms - are both off strip.|||Those are actually some great choices.
The Aria is modern day marvel. Their rooms are Smart rooms. That means that the room programs to fit your need while you're their. It actually talks to you! lol
The Venetian is one of the more luxurious hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Its become a popular destination for many and is perfect for a couples vacation.
Planet Hollywood really caters to a younger crowd. Especially in the Summertime when thier awesome pool area opens up. The parties they have are not to miss!
I will give a link to all three that has information on all that each hotel offers.|||I've just returned from a week in Las Vegas and stayed at the Planet Hollywood. To say it is huge is an understatement. It has the V Theatre, a 150-shop shopping mall and 70 restaurants, and of course a huge casino. I don't think it is important where you stay because you will be eating out (whether it's in your hotel or another) and will be wandering in and out of hotels just to have a look at the magnificence of them all! But, the Planet Hollywood is convenient as it is right in the middle of the Strip. We also had a room with a view of the Bellagio fountains - brilliant.
Save your legs and take the Deuce bus or the Ace bus which go backwards and forwards up and down the Strip all day. They even take you all the way to Fremont Street (another "must do"). $3 for 2 hours, or $7 for 24 hours. Ticket machines are at each stop.
Get discounted show/tour tickets at the Tix4tonight booths up and down the Strip.
You will have a super time whichever hotel you choose. I'm dead jealous!|||Aria is part of the new City Center with a huge casino. Planet Hollywood is a small nice casino. Venetian, my pick, is fantastic with large rooms and very open large casino. Venetiain is connected to Palazzo, across the street from Treasure Island and Mirage and Wynn & Encore. Pick the one with the best room deal since you won't spend that much time in the room.|||I love the venetian and it is in the middle of the strip so an easy walk to all the other hotels. Aria is the newest and I have olny walked through it, but it looked really nice, it is more on one end though so if you are going to be walker it may be a bit of a trek.|||Venetian is best.
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino Las Vegas http://hotels.americacheaphotels.com/Hot鈥?/a>|||All hotels are fine but I would choose Aria because it is part of the new City Center and brand new. It also has some good online promotion offers which you can find e.g. on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com/categ鈥?/a>|||the one i see in girls next door
i think the name is palms?
and go for the hugh hefner suite!

Im planning on staying at the Planet Hollywood and im just wondering how much you have to spend in the casino or how long you have to play in order to get comps.
http://www.planethollywoodresort.com/pdf鈥?/a>|||I'm a dealer in a casino.
First off, you need to get "rated" which means you need to apply for (if you don't already have one) the casino's "player's card". They go by different names but basically it's a free card that puts you in their database and allows you to quality for comps. Sometimes they'll make up these cards for you right at the table, but more likely you go to a center or booth on the gaming floor and provide valid ID and they issue you a card.
For table play (blackjack, etc.):
Most casinos rate your play based on one or all of the following:
1. average bet;
2. your buy-ins (how much money you're forking over);
3. your play time (amount of time at the table).
Each casino is different as far as how much of the above they required, but that is what they base your credits/points on.
If you're a slot player, you'll probably earn your points/comps faster. As slot play generates the majority of the money that a casino makes, the casino usually is more generous with these comps. Just remember to insert your card everytime you're at a machine.
Hope this helps.|||Spend lots and lots of money to get a very small token especially on the strip. Locals get better comps at casinos well off the strip geared for locals. Amazing what we get for just a little play. On the strip you can spends thousands and maybe get a key chain or something. Best way to get comped is to win big ... then they want you to stay with them so you will put their money back into their machines. Anyone can loose ... the town was built from loosers money ... it's the ones that win are the ones they want back.|||ON any of the nicer STrip hotels they will not rat you at the tables if you are playing less than $25 per hand though they may have changed that as its slowing a bit, I think at MGM 4 hours at $25 got you a meal ts notlike the good old days where $10 a hand for 2 hours a day paid your room if you were clever. Idont know anything about the PH slot club I am afraid and you will only be able to use your comps against your room if you have booked it direct i.e. not through Experdia, price line etc.
The MGM Players club will give you somthing like 1c for every $1 played you can use this in multiples of $5 as bonus slot play not as comps.
Rule number 1 do not change your play either time, stake or game to get comps this is what the casino wants you do, remeber they only comp a percnetage of what you should lose.
Have a look at this post it can be one of the easiest ways to get a good comp.
http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008鈥?/a>|||The average is at least $15 per hand and so many hands per minute. You get a player's club card and hand it to the pit boss or use it in the slots, each and every time. Then at the end of your stay you can get several souveniors. But also if you are playing large hands consistently, winning or losing, ask the pit boss to comp you for dinner. The larger the cost of the comp, the better "rating" you need.|||You received several very good answers.

We look for a casino/hotel, that has the game(s) we like to play at a denomination we are comfortable playing, and, they will reward us well for our play.
We go to Las Vegas 2-3 times a year for 2 weeks or more at a time and have for over 20 years. The only time we ever pay for a room is when we choose to because it's to our advantage. We spent 8 weeks in LV last year, 42 of those nights were comped, along with 150-200 meals(every time we ask).
We are not high rollers, we play nickel/dime/quarter video poker.

At the bar, you are paying to have some one get it fr you and the ambiance. These are neither cheap nor free but the ambiance is one of the reasons you go to Vegas.

My friend's 18th birthday is coming up and I am planning to take her to the city for the day. I would like to have lunch at a fun place like Planet Hollywood but besides that, I have no clue of what to do. Can you suggest me something fun? And maybe a place where we can have a very special birthday cake...Thanx!!|||I used to live in NYC for a short time as an intern. There are so many things to do in NYC that it's hard to narrow it down. I would skip Planet Hollywood if I were you. They don't have the best food. If you want to try a fun chain restaurant, I'd go to the ESPN zone in Times Square. Not necessarily a great idea for a fun girls lunch you say? I beg to differ, being a gal myself. The restaurant is on the second floor and has a view of Times Square. Very cool. They have pretty good food, and excellent desserts. My favorite is the the half baked cookie with ice cream. Delicious! Plus, it is a great place to meet single guys! I would definitely go and see a show as well while you are already in Times Square. There are so many amazing shows to see. Very fun. But if you want to try something new and a bit more swank, I'd go to a smaller cafe style restaurant in Little Italy or in Soho. The best shopping is in Soho, so why not eat there too? My favorite thing to do while in NYC was to ride the subway to Brooklyn and walk over the Brooklyn bridge. It is best to do this at sunset. You will get views of the NYC skyline that are breathtaking. I did this with everyone who came to visit me and they too thought it was the best free thing to do in the city. The other great free thing to do in NYC is to ride the ferry to Staten Island. You will get a free ride to see the Statue of Liberty as well as a great view of the NY skyline too. Going at sunset is again best. Bundle up and go outside on deck to view the amazing views. For delicious cake, why not go to some of the famous cupcake shops in the city? These are delicious cakes! You could do a cupcake tour and visit all of the cupcake shops in the city. There are so many good ones to try. Here are a few: Mongolia Bakery, Tribeca Treats, Buttercup Bake Shop. Not only will you get your birthday cake, but you will get to see a lot of the city along the way!|||the village is always fun, id suggest seeing if there are any concerts or festivals happening, then again walking down the street can also be fun, as for cake, serendipity 3 is always fun for birthdays, theres also that chocolate by the bald man place by union square if she enjoys chocolate, then again theres always something to do.|||bus tours are fun, attractions and even planet hollywood meals here http://www.citysightsny.com/

like which one has the best sales, and a nice staff|||Definitely the one at Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops. Helpful staff, a much bigger store and better selection. That said, if you're staying near Mandalay Bay, trekking all the way up the Strip might not be worth it, unless you're a diehard Urban Outfitters shopper.|||I doubt you will find a "sale" and hopefully both have nice, friendly staff
Ill be going on a "ONLY LADIES WEEKEND" vaca next month in Las Vegas BABY and wanna know...where do they sale sexy Plus Size clothing for us females?
You know the ones you buy for dinners and/or for clubbing?
Do they have any around the STRIP or inside Planet Hollywood Mall?
Holla! Thanks :)|||Torrid: They have one at Meadows mall located at Valley View and I-95 and The Boulevard Mall located at Maryland Pkwy and Desert Inn. Great casual and clubbing gear.
www.torrid.com
Maurices: Located at Rainbow and I-215. One side of the store is size 2-14 and the other 14-24.
www.maurices.com
Lane Bryant: There is one in each of the malls in Vegas.

Fashion Bug: Multiple locations around town

I don't think there are any located on the strip.|||Fat women are not wanted on the strip in Las Vegas. We are not considered sexy by the hotels. However my husband would disagree with you. As far as Las Vegas retailers are concerned we have no money to spend and no taste. Report Abuse
|||Sorry, no. THere are plus size shops at 215 and West Flamingo which is not that far from The Strip OR you can go to the Outlet Mall which is about 2 miles south of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Boulevard South|||nope theres none on the strip only in the ghetto parts.
I just turned 21 and am planning on going to Las Vegas for the first time in March. What are some things to see out there for someone whos never been? What are the best places to stay? I've narrowed it down to Planet Hollywood, Bellagio, or Thehotel at Mandalay? Which of these would be best? Thanks|||Bellagio is REAL nice. We had a ton of fun when we went. I will warn you about one thing... All down the strip are "sales people" wanting to give you free tickets to stuff if you attend their timeshare seminar. It was the worst 4 hours of my life. Do NOT do it. Buy tickets to one of the shows. All of them are terrific. The Mirage has a nice nightclub inside of it. We got to see Shaq so that was fun. At the Venetian there is a wax museum, go check it out it's really cool. We rode the bus up and down the strip. It was actually cheaper and easier than a cab. You'll have a great time. Just remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. lol
Important Note:It's December so it's going to be cold! I live so close to NYC, so i thought i might as well spend my 18th birthday there. Maybe a not so expensive restaurant, not Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock, been there done that. I want somewhere different. Something cute. Thank you so much! :)|||Go to the movies
go on a boat trip

Ok so I'm going to the meet n greet at planet hollywood in Vegas so I'm going to meet holly Madison in person but I don't know what to ask her give me questions I'm open to any suggestions|||Wanna go out|||"Hey, how's it going? I think your beautiful"|||don't make her talk. she's probably not the sharped knife. just look and enjoy!
I know Planet Hollywood towers is new- I def. need a room with a view of the city! does the towers offer this?|||Here are two photos of Planet Hollywood's Westgate Tower I shot in June http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/las_ve鈥?/a>
http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/las_ve鈥?/a>|||PH Towers isn't accepting reservations until Nov 1.
Since it is luxury and it's at PH, then it should be good. But Westgate, the company that is operating it, is not known for it's highend locations. I've stayed at one of their places in Orlando and it was just cheesy.|||PH towers is still under construction. I have stayed at Planet Hollywood before though and had a great view of the Bellagio fountains. Just request a high floor.
I am debating between these hotels:
MGM Grande
Golden Nugget
Planet Hollywood
Why or why not? Thanks|||MGM and Planet Hollywood are both nice choices. MGM maybe a little nicer but Planet Holleywood is more centrally located in the middle of the Strip. You will be happy with either one.
Golden Nugget is Downtown. Downtown is Dead.|||All are good hotels. I think I would go with the MGM Grand. It just seems to offer more in the entertainment department. I hope this was helpful and good luck.
Were going to New York City for New Year 2010 /2011 and have been advised to plan in advance, can anyone advise me what would be the best plan of action so I can get in Time square to watch the celebrations. We were planning to eat at Planet Hollywood - thanks.|||Find out exactly what you are getting into. New Years Eve in Times Square is very over rated in my opinion. To get a decent spot, you need to arrive early. Once you are there, you can not leave. If you do, you will not get back in. No bags, no bathrooms, no food no beverage.
Here is the NYC official website:
http://www.nyc.gov/html/misc/html/new_ye鈥?/a>
Keep an eye on those pages for updates.|||Just giving you a heads up, my brother went on New Years Eve and oh gosh it was CROWDED! Whenever he would try to get into a restaurant/building, they would all be so occupied and huge lines too. And outside it was crowded with people trying to get warm hahah.|||I've never been but from TV pictures it always appears very busy! PH maybe a difficult to get a table unless you have booked well in advance, if that is they even take bookings, if it is FCFS then you could be in for a long wait!|||Dance until it gets to 12:00midnight then shout: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We added on dinner vouchers to our broadway tickets and thought we'd go there, but I've been reading some very bad reviews on line and wondered what others thought? Our other choices would be Planet Hollywood, Center Stage Cafe, and some Itlaian places, but due to our bus schedule we have to eat after the show, so it limits us.|||I ate at Broadway Joe's about ten years ago (had a two-for-one coupon.) The steaks were tough and the service was poor. I don't recommend it.
What Italian restaurants can you choose?|||Broadway Joe's is a notoriously bad restaurant, it's hard to believe they are still in business. Planet Hollywood is not known for it's food either. If Becco is one of the Italian choices go there...|||IT is not good... Do not go there even if you have to go hungry... Try Patsy's (best), Victor's (2nd best), or even Gallagher's (very good). All are in the theatre district. If you are really stuck, you can always go to Rosie O'Grady's (good-but touristy) for a meal. Depends on where the theatre is located.
I don't know where you are coming from, but after-theatre dinner in NYC is normal...|||Terrible restaurant. My wife and I went b/c we hada coupon. we ordered teh filet mignon and when they served it to is, it was still frozen in the middle of the meat! The place is not cheap either. There is a great Chilean restaurant near the corner of that street called Pomaire. My wife is Chilean so we go often. Order an empanada to start, and get the pastel de choclo and a pisco sour to drink.....you will absolutely love it!!!!
I'm 25 and my dad is taking me to Vegas for 4 days next week... What are some good places to go? Eat? We're staying at Planet Hollywood.|||Most visitors to Las Vegas eat at the buffets. The food is good and very reasonable. Almost all hotels have a buffet.
As far as things to do with your Dad, Las Vegas is full of activities and things to do. You can see a show, sight see, visit Madame Tussauds Wax museum, spend time at the pool, go on a gondola ride at the Venetian. The list goes on. Here is a list of Vegas activities to choose from.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/things-to鈥?/a>|||Enjoy all the shows like 7 cirques or Phantom of the Opera or Jersey Boys or Blue Man Group or Lance Burton, etc.
Buffets are great deals. All you want for all courses including non-alcoholic beverage.
Enjoy Mirage's volcano or Bellagio's fountain after dark. Enjoy the neon lights after dark.
Places to go include Hoover Dam, Ethel M Chocolate, Red Rock Canyon visitor center, Las Vegas Springs Preserve, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum|||There are so many shows you won't know what to do with yourself. Vegas also has outlets if you like to shop. California is not that far. You have tourist things like Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. Of course there are casinos, bars, shops, clubs and restaurants everywhere.
I'm going in May for 4 nights, we are driving so we will have a car. Basically want to stay in four different hotels.
this is our possible list
Planet hollywood
Trump tower
New York New York
Palms (this one we are for sure staying in because the dane cook show is there and we thought it would be best to spend that night there)
Has anyone stayed in these?
General suggestions?
ps: it's 5 girls early 20's
thank you!|||Constantly changing hotels is madness. You will waste too much time. Pick one hotel and stay there. I do not see why attending a show means you have to stay at that hotel. You have a car, so you can stay literally anywhere. The Palms is not on the Strip. You would be much better off Staying on the Strip. There is so much to see and you have so little time. Why in the world would you want to keep packing and checking in and out repeatedly?
If I were you, I would look into staying at the cheapest Casino hotel on the Strip but staying in a suite. For the price of a regular hotel room all five of you could stay together comfortably. Most hotels only allow 4 in a room.
*|||The Palms is really nice.
I live here, so I haven't spent the night in any of them..but I've heard lots about them.
Trump Tower and the Palms are probably the two nicest of all your choices, but I don't think any of your hotel choices are considered sketchy hotels. lol
It's also nice that you'll have a car, because the Palms isn't directly "on" the Strip. It's a block or two off, along with the Rio.
The Pearl concert theater, where Dane Cook will be, is a really nice venue; I recently saw Jason Mraz there.
Hope you have a great trip!|||I definitely suggest checking out any of the Cirque de Soleil shows because they are all amazing. Make sure to go on a Gondola ride and check out the Grand Canal Shoppe (not to mention the amazing ceiling show!) at the Venetian. Obviously Circus Circus to win a couple of stuffed prizes and for their hourly performances because no one is ever too old to go there. There is a water fountain show outside the Bellagio AND at Ceasars. There is an amazing lion habitat at MGM Grand and a wildlife habitat at the Flamingo that are a must.
Visit http://www.vegas.com/attractions/ for more information on what to do in Vegas!|||cirque du soleil is worth checking out. that show is amazing!!
Trump was a okay hotel, the location isn't that good and there is only valet parking which takes a long time when you want to get your car.
Mandalay bay is a good hotel, the food is really good and the rooms are big
Hi, my girlfriend and I are going to Disney next week and we pretty much have everything planned out as far as what we're doing. The only questions I have is what should I bring to Disney to reduce costs, such as food and drink, and also what are some suggestions on the best places to eat? I've heard about Planet Hollywood, Sci-Fi Dine In, and Tony's. Your thoughts? thanks.|||Bring plenty of snacks and bottled beverages. My boyfriend and I go each summer. We bring bottled water, Gatorade, tea, etc. For snacks we bring Pop Tarts, Pringles, snack bars, etc. Anything in boxes or plastic containers is good because they don't get crushed easily in the process of traveling. And then you can bring these snacks and beverages in a backpack to the parks with you if you'd like.
There's over 150 wonderful dining options on Walt Disney World property. I hope you've already made reservations because you're leaving in a week, and reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance, so it's going to be hard to get reservations for the times you want at this point. If you haven't, you may want to try an make any last minute dining reservations now. Anyway, here's my list of the best restaurants at Walt Disney World...
1. Artist Point at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
2. Bistro de Paris at EPCOT
3. Boma - Flavors of Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
4. Bongos Cuban Cafe at Downtown Disney
5. California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort
6. Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort
7. Citricos at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
8. Coral Reef Restaurant at EPCOT
9. ESPN Club at Disney's Boardwalk Inn
10. Flying Fish Cafe at Disney's Boardwalk Inn
11. The Hollywood Brown Derby at the Disney (MGM) Studios
12. Jiko - The Cooking Place at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
13. Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort
14. Le Cellier Steakhouse at EPCOT
15. Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano at the Disney (MGM) Studios
16. Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
17. Rainforest Cafe at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park
18. Tony's Town Square at the Magic Kingdom
19. Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
20. Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort

* I agree with ratdog - Planet Hollywood isn't anything special. I really do like Tony's Town Square, though. It's one of my favorites. And the "Whispering Pines" restaurant at Disney's Wilderness Lodge he's talking about is called the Whispering Canyon Cafe. And if you're staying at one of the Resorts at Walt Disney World you get a complimentary mini fridge, no fee, so you can keep your beverages cold.
And secret~stranger is incorrect. There are not seven parks. There are four theme parks, two water parks, and Downtown Disney, which is a massive entertainment complex. It doesn't take a whole day to do one park either. Some parks take a whole day or more, like the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but even I, a Walt Disney World Fanatic whose goal is to not leave a single attraction out when I visit the parks, can't spend an entire day at the Disney - MGM Studios. As for Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, it usually doesn't even stay open past 6:00pm. And if you're not going with kids then you should take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours in the evening rather than going to the parks as soon as they open. That's when all the families with young children go, and the parks fill up quickly. Take advantage of the evening Extra Magic Hours when all the families with young children have left. It's very relaxing and enjoyable. The crowds are minimal and you can literally walk right onto most of the attractions. And I don't understand why it matters how many children there are compared to adults. There's actually a lot more adults at Walt Disney World than children. There's plenty of couples and adults. It's the number one vacation destination in the world and one of the top wedding/honeymoon locations.|||yes, i agree on the BOMA resturant at the disney Animal kingdom Lodge. That is if you decide to pick that dining place. If you do try the zebra dome mouse dessert it is to die for. Very GOOOOOODDDDDDDD. Report Abuse
|||I live in Orlando and visit the parks frequently. Recently I had family members stay at Port Orleans (French Quarters). They were charged for a mini fridge. Just an FYI. Report Abuse
|||Pack essentials before you leave for Florida. This includes sunscreen, batteries, film, rain slicker/poncho, etc... they sell these items in the park, but for an arm and a leg cost! You'll want the rain poncho for the water rides if you're going this time of year. They are still fun to go on, but its still chilly and you won't want to be soaking wet and cold all day. Wear your ponchos on all water rides to stay dry and still enjoy them!
If your hotel has a kitchennete, stop by a local grocery store (there is a super Wal Mart in Kissimme on the 192, right by Medieval Times) and load up on cereals, milk, snacks, bottled water, and other food and snack items. Put a bottled water in the bottom of your bag - Disney securty will never look that deep. Then re-fill it throughout the day.
Best dining options:
Boma - Animal Kingdom Lodge
Cape May - Beach Club Resort - if you like seafood
50s Prime Time Cafe - Disney Studios
Bongos - Downtown Disney
Wolfgang Puck's California Grill - Downtown Disney
Ohana's and Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show - Polynesian Resort
Shogun Steakhouse - Japan Pavilion - EPCOT
Coral Reef Restaurant - Living Seas Pavilion - EPCOT
Norway's Bakery - Norway Pavilion - EPCOT
I didn't care for Planet Hollywood's food. And Tony's at the Magic Kingdom is just so-so. You'll find that the best restaurants will be found at the Resorts - not in the parks, with the exception of EPCOT's countries and the 50s Prime Time Cade at the Studios. I have heard that Mama Melrose's Italian Rest. at the Disney Studios is excellent, but I've never personally tried it.

http://im-all-ears-disney-vacation-servi鈥?/a>
Have a great time!|||Planet Hollywood??? Leave it out. It is nothing worth waiting for. Check out the Whispering Pines in the Wilderness Resort (all you can eat). It is great fun. As far as food and drink is concerned there are several grocery stores within 5 miles of the park. Sodas, WATER, snacks, and fruit are some items you should bring. Remember, there is a fee for EVERYTHING at disney. If you want a fridge I think the fee is $5-10 per day. Get a good cooler. Ice is free.|||Sci-Fi in is a deffinet must. You must make reservations through disney dining though! It is always very crowded. It is a wild experience and very fun! Planet Hollywood is ok but not the best. I would also reccomend getting disney dining passes. It gives you breakfast a snack and lunch or dinner. It is a very good deal and saves a lot of money. Have fun on your trip!|||Bring small snacks and pack bottled drinks also. Don't forget your sunscreen and above everything....WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES!! I see all these people there in fancy sandals and I wonder how their feet hand it. There is a lot of miles to be covered throughout Disney World so make sure you wear good shoes or you'll be sorry!
Sci-Fi Dine In is a great place. Cool atmosphere and good food. Try the Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge. Also a fun place to eat and good eats! If you catch a character breakfast visit the Crystal Palace. It's a beautiful resturant and its a buffet so there is plenty to eat and enjoy.
Hope you have a great time. I miss Disney. I haven't been in a few years. But we'll be sure to make a trip soon as to take our son there.|||i was there a month ago, and the cost of food isn't that bad.
so don't even bother packing anything up. what u DON'T want to be caught up with is a handful of stuff that you have to carry around all day. they do have lockers though.
disney world is LOTS of walking! there are seven huge parks, and it takes one whole day to get through one park!
just remember to take advantage of the fast pass. which is a ticket with a time slot that you pick up, and then you can return during that time and go directly on the ride.
and go EARLY when the park first opens (at 9 am) so you don't have to wait in line.
i would say 50% of the people there are kids (under 12), 25% are parents, and 20% are grand-parents, and just MAYBE that 5% are teens and young adults.|||you can bring your own waterbottles and then fill them up at the parks water fountains.Also, bring your own rain gear theres is very expensive and bring little snacks you will get hungry. Planet Hollywood is a very good place to eat if you get sick of disney food.
Have Fun!!!|||Take lots and lots of money. The prices have gone so far out of control that I no longer have any desire to take my kids.|||Don't forget your sunscreen!!!
You should still be able to take a backpack in. I know you used to be able to, but things change. You can always pack sandwiches and bottled water, as well as fruit and granola bars and such. Luna bars are good. They're filling, taste good, and are low cal. But definitely bottled water.
Have fun-I'm so jealous!
Me and 6 of my friends are going to Madame Tussauds, the wax museum for my birthday and I was wondering whats a good restaurant to go to in Times Square. :-)
I don't want to go to a very expensive place either due to my parents will be paying.
--> I heard about Planet Hollywood, Fridays, Applebee's, Carmines, Olive Garden and Pizza places...
Any other suggestions to add to the above???|||Can never go wrong with Junior's. They have been a landmark in Brooklyn for years and have a great restaurant in Times Square. Also the best cheesecake in NYC|||Dallas BBQ
Qdoba Mexican Grille
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co
John's Pizzeria
Park Cafe|||Junior's.
orr my pick would be the view its in the marriot in times square its on the roof its like 70 floors up lol and it rotates 360 degrees<3|||hard rock cafe? its not too far from madame tussauds in times square
Caesars Palace?
Excalibur?
Flamingo?
Mandalay Bay?
MGM Grand?
Planet Hollywood?
Riviera?
with no bedbugs because i dont wake up one day with all these bites on my body and bring them home with me i dont want that at all
i think im gonna go to Vegas when im 21 next year!|||I always stay at the MGM Grand. The beds are the most comfortable than anywhere else I have stayed at. It is also the best location on the south side right on the monorail station.|||Personally I love the Planet Hollywood! It is a great hotel designed with hot young professionals in mind! You should check out pics and reviews of Planet Hollywood at http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/Planet鈥?/a>
When you check in, you feel like you are checking into a party! The casino is hot, the rooms are awesome with great views, and everything is just pretty larger than life!
have fun!|||Depends on what you are looking for... anything you wish for, there is a room and a hotel to meet your desires. As far as being just pure grandeur and indulgence, I'd have to say the Bellagio or the Wynn. But if you are looking for a good room and a hot, young nightlife, try someplace more like MGM grand or the Palms.|||Ceasars is up there if you get a suite.
but MGM lofts are hard to beat specially the terrace suites with a view of the lights of the strip with a jacuzzi on the terrace.
the lofts come with a personal butler 24/7.
the wynn is extra special and no whim goes unfulfilled.
|||Caesar Palace, Mandalay Bay or MSM Grand Wynn Mirage and the Venetian, Rio is also good and i like the Orleans which is off the strip..|||Caesars Palace - best location
Planet Hollywood - make sure you got the renovated room
MGM Grand
Flamingo, Excalibur - NO|||Of that list, Caesar's is the best. Riviera the worst. Planet Hollywood the best Value.|||Caesar Palace, Mandalay Bay or MSM Grand.|||None of the above..........it's the Wynn.|||i like the 2 off the strip... the palms and the rio... my favs.... only about 3 minutes away from the strip
The BOA website shows 2 ATMs on the strip. One near Planet Hollywood and the other in Ceasars. Can anyone verify this. Thanks|||Yep. There's one in the Forum Shops at Caesars, and one at Ethyl M Chocolates. These are both on the Strip.|||Yes there are several including Caesar's Palace. Most casinos have ATM's but there is a charge for use, including BofA to rent the space in the casino. But there is a real bank at Maryland Parkway and Tropicana & at Flamingo and Decatur & Arville and Spring Mountain (Dune).|||http://www.tripcart.com/ go here it tells you all
At planet hollywood hotel|||Sign up for their casino club online before you book, and you should get a better rate.|||it can be as much as 200 weekdays and 700 weekends but really, nobody pays those higher-end prices unless it's during an event that's taking place at PH or a huge event in Vegas, when demand is high. You need to go through smartervegas or i4vegas and see all their offers. The best way to get a suite for a great price is to ask VIP/casino marketing through your players club.|||Depends on which suite and when you go... on a random day, like July 1st, it will cost anywhere from $199 to $399.|||The PH suites run from about $200 on the weekdays to over $600 on the weekends, depending on which suite you want and exactly when you are traveling. The suites at the PH Towers are a little less expensive.|||It depends on the date and what kind of suite.
For Example:
Planet Hollywood Rates on July 2 to the 4th Total Is $300 (for 3nights)
But...
The fallowing weekend for 3nights it goes up to the total of $500
AND...
The weekend after that its back down to $400
What's the deal? Can someone explain why is this?!
Thank You!|||Sometimes rates are higher when there are major events in town, rooms may be hard to come by, and people will be willing to pay just to have a place. When they expect less demand, they often lower prices to attract more travelers. They're just trying to get the most money they can.
We went last year, and had much cheaper rates over Memorial Day weekend than the weekend before - we paid $200 for our rooms on the weekend nights of Mem weekend, but the rates were $450 for the weekend before. Turned out that there were 3 major conventions in town (one at our hotel), and there was a country music award event as well.|||Unlike other US cities, there is no peak or off-peak seasons in Las Vegas. Hotel room prices changes from day to day and sometimes from hour to hour. The price you will pay depends on what else is happening in town on that day. To get a great price,
My suggestions: 1) Check-in on a week day and not a weekend. 2) Check the convention calendar to make sure there are no major events in town. 3) Book on time. 4) Look for deals and promo codes. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.p鈥?/a>
Here are more tips on how to get discount hotel rooms.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cheap-hot鈥?/a>|||The same reason air fares vary. The same reason lots of movie theaters are cheaper in the afternoon. The same reason you can run an ad on a random page of the Yonkers News much more cheaply than a same size ad in a prominent location in the New York Times. In each case, if the seller thinks they can get morefor it, they will. If they don't think they can get top dollar for it, prices will come down.|||Depends on what conventions are in town, holidays, and what the market will bear|||Make sure there are no conventions, since they can really drive up rates. Avoid dates with large conventions having 30,000 or more people.
Also concerts or events can effect price of room rates
Go during the week (Sunday-Thursday). Friday/Saturday rates are much higher. Avoid going on a holiday.

thanks for the help :]|||Most tourists in Vegas these days are dressing like absolute slobs. Wife-beaters and flip-flops :(
If you just wear something nice, you'll already stick out.
For a the Lion King, I would recommend something classy but comfortable. There will be lots of kids and families there, so no need for a cocktail dress.
Thanks for visiting :)|||Wear a nice jeans at your comfort - Enjoy the show

I've never seen anyone dressed up in formal wear for a show though.|||I'd say dress as slutty as possible and have a good time.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. :P|||Jeans and a nice blouse. Sneakers or boots are fine.|||so do you always have a problem dressing yourself? this is a fashion question, not a travel one.

I lived in San Diego for 7 years and have visited Las Vegas in excess of 35 times, during those 7 years (since it was free accomodation and food for residents of So Cal).
Anyway, I found that a week in Vegas was just too much, so mid-week we used to go and do something NON-VEGAS-esque...so in your case, I suggest renting a car, and driving to the Grand Canyon.........
It is a truly AMAZING experience, and depending on funds, do take the Helicopter tour. If going away is not good, then consider going to to Venice Beach in Los Angeles for a day. 2.5 hours down and 2.5 hours back...........again amazing.
Anyway in Vegas, don't forget the RIDES on TOP of the Stratosphere.
Good Luck whilst out there.
PS, it's my birthday on the 19th of June so have fun, and good luck from me.|||For Upcoming Headliners in Vegas June 17-24 2009

these are my top 3 choices! :
Ceasers palace ( pool closed, construction)
the venetian resort hotel
Planet Hollywood
They are all very good deals now, but i cant decide!
no gambling.
what are your reasons for which ones are best and nicest?
please help! thanks.|||It's strange that Caesar's would close down their entire pool, if it weren't for that I would probably choose that one out of the 3 for a family vacation. It's quieter and a classic.
PH is more of a party hotel for the young crowd, not too great for families, more for the 21 and over crowd.
Venetian just not somewhere I would want to stay. It seems like a place for middle-aged people with money who want to be somewhere quiet.
Have you considered Mandalay Bay? They have an awesome pool area and everytime we run into someone while we are there who are with their family, that is where they are staying. They have an awesome pool complex with real sand, a lazy river, and more.
Another more affordable option is Excalibur. That's where we took our girls for a family vacation and they loved it. It is a castle, so that went over well, and they also have a midway downstairs with all kinds of Carnival games that are affordable. They also have the Tournament of Kings dinner show which is great for kids, and it comes with a meal. It is one of the last hotels left that caters to families with children.
For some awesome promo codes, check out this site http://smartervegas.com/
Caesar's from $120/night with the 4th night free
Planet Hollywood from $65/night with 2nd night 50% off
Mandalay Bay from $65/night (deeply discounted- normally over $100)
Excalibur from $25/night ( I recommend upgrading to the Widescreen room)|||no need to ask others, now be your own tour operator in just few clicks at http://websoni.com and http://discounttravelpackages.blogspot.c鈥?/a>|||Family orientation is a thing of the past. Rather than find one hotel for the family, think of lots of activities across the Strip.
Mandalay Bay has a great pool and lazy river
and they have Shark Reef
Excalibur has Tournament of Kings dinner show
Mirage has Love cirque show (Beattles tribute) and Treasure Island has Mystere, both family oriented and fantastic for all
Circus Circus has Adventure Dome Amusement Park (indoors) and the manor/motel has a pool right outside
Caesars does have Forum Shops with anamatromic statute shows/free
NYNY has scream rollercoaster
Next to MGM Grand is movie theatre and Game Works
Sorry but that is why Vegas is known as the Adult Entertainment Capitol of the World Vegas found several years ago the family orientation was more difficult to control than ever expected and most casinos removed the arcades and other family entertainment|||The Venetian is more laid back and quieter than the others. Not sure what you are looking for. The Fashion Show Mall is just across the street. More upscale at that end of the strip.|||IMO, the two best for families are the Orleans and Excalibur. It would be easier to narrow it down if I knew the ages of your kids.
Orleans
http://www.orleanscasino.com/things-to-d鈥?/a>
Excalibur
http://www.excalibur.com
After the above, I would probably go with the MGM Grand or Mirage.
Caesars Palace would be a good one, but if the pool is closed, no way.
~Jack~|||Excalibur, Circus Circus or the NYNY are kid friendly, not CP, Mirage or Bellagio and for sure not the Venetian, they cater to the high class people..
Me and my fiance have been together for 3 years and were getting married in june and trying to pick our honeymoon spot currently. Were thinking of the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas. Would it be a decent honeymoon spot? It's between there and Niagara Falls in NY. Any Idea's or suggestions or has anyone been there for a honeymoon or wedding?|||It depends on what you like to do!
LV has the standards, gambling, drinking, clubbing etc, but there is tons of other stuff to do too.
The Cirque shows are incredible, there's comedy shows and musical concerts as well. There's tons of shopping and just people watching (day or night).
There are plenty of free attractions: the Bellagio fountain, the lions at MGM, Treasure Islands' Sirens show, the Bellagio garden, the Caesar's Palace Forum shops has moving statues, the singers at the Venetian, Freemont Street, Mirage volcano etc.
And ones you can pay for: the wax museum, the Titanic exhibit, Bodies, ride the elevator to the top of Paris' Eiffel Tower, the rides at the top of the Stratosphere, Caesar's aquarium, Mandalay Bay shark reef, the Secret Garden etc.
If you like pool sitting (in June it's going to be HOT) then this is the top 10:
1 Mandalay Bay
2 Hard Rock
3 Mirage
4 Caesar's Palace
5 Flamingo
6 MGM Grand
7 Bellagio
8 Venetian
9 Luxor
10 The Palms
Then you can also do day trips outside of Vegas to Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon.
There is also one-of-a-kind experiences like Dinner in The Sky or skydiving (indoor or outdoor!).
If you are looking for a more laid-back honeymoon with a lot of "room time" then Niagara Falls is probably a better way to spend your money.
:-)|||I personally would not choose Las Vegas. I don't know if I'd choose Niagara Falls either, though. But Las Vegas is kind of a party town and the Planet Hollywood generally attracts more of a younger, party crowd than a number of other casinos on the strip. If you guys want to party and be around a lot of people and really celebrate then Las Vegas is a good choice. There are some romantic restaurants on the strip and a lot of nice spas where you could do a couples package. Zumanity is also a good show for couples. For my honeymoon, I'd want to go somewhere where I could relax with my new husband, eat good food, get pampered, and spend quality one on one time... Las Vegas just wouldn't be very relaxing. Have you thought about California? You could go to wine country or Catalina Island. These would be much more romantic and more honeymoon appropriate if you ask me. Las Vegas is where people typically come for the bachelor and bachelorette party... not the honeymoon.|||What a honeymoon you will have in Vegas. There is so much to do 24/7. You can get a great suite, even one with a jacuzzi. You can enjoy room service. You can go to a huge variety of shows including three Broadway plays, and so much more.
Planet Hollywood is very nice. Pick the best room deal on Strip and enjoy walking the neon lights at night hand in hand, see the volcano, the fountains, the pyramid, the castle, the lions, on and on
It will be a memory of a lifetime|||Some people like the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of Niagra Falls for their honeymoon. However, Las Vegas gives you so much more to do and see. Niagra Falls has lost it's appeal for honeymooing with the complication of just walking across the border to enjoy the Canadian side. Now you have to carry a passport which is a hassle and the lines take forever compared to the way it use to be.|||It really depends what you want to do. I'd personally prefer somewhere tropical, but that's cause I"m been to Las Vegas way too many times. If you like to see shows, see sights, gamble and drink, then definitely, Las Vegas is for you guys. Niagra Falls has one attraction...and it doesn't take long to see it all. As for Planet Hollywood, if it's your Honeymoon, I'd rent a nice suite or something. NYNY sometimes has nice suites for cheap. I remember seeing a 1100 sq ft suite for $170 a night a while back.

check and compare.!!|||See if you know anyone who owns a timeshare where you can get a getaway. They will know what that is.
I was wondering if its worth going to the dinner buffets for (Paris, Wynn, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood), or should I just stay with the lunch buffet, and what about the breakfast buffet is it worth it? And also which is your favorite buffet on the strip and why?|||Well, all depends on when you want to eat. Generally the lunch and dinner buffets are very similar, you might get a few additional items on the dinner buffet, but if you time it right and want to save some money, you can go there for lunch and be there when they bring out all the dinner stuff. I rarely ever do lunch buffets though, its too early for me, I'd rather pay the extra and eat for dinner instead of being huungry again come nighttime.
As for breakfast, I love it. If you think about how much you would pay at a regular restaurant for what you can get, its worth it. I mean the omelettes would usually run ya at least 6 bucks, and if you're a fan of breakfast meats, with as much as restaurants usually charge, its a great deal. The other great thing about breakfast buffets is you'll be full enough that you wont need to eat lunch usually.
My favorite was Planet Hollywood (was Alladdin when I last went) and Mandalay Bay. If you're gonna go for breakfast, don't go all pricey. I mean yeah, places like Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio will be good, but you can't really f**k up an egg, and there's not many things you can really do to make an egg taste better. An egg is an egg. As long as they have an omelette station, one is as good as another. I'd personally reccomend Excalibur or Luxor, since they were fairly on the cheaper side, and again, its breakfast.|||Anytime :) Report Abuse

As far as clubs go, LAX, Pure and Tao are the places to be seen. Most visitor to Vegas eat at buffets. Most hotels have them and the food is good and very affordable.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||NyNy is pretty popular and the hotel and casino are pretty nice not to mention affordable. Great location too! Lots of people who party hang out at NYNY.
MGM Grand is nice but it's sooooo big. Everything is a distance away. But they do have clubs there and a huge casino! Food is ok but a little pricey.
Planet Hollywood is a little expensive because it's still one of the fairly newer hyped up hotels.
Out of the three, I would probably choose NYNY. Clubs are all over but this hotel will help you save money so you can splurge on your birthday activities.|||I would say for a person turning 21 the best places are without your mom = Hard Rock Hotel, Planet Hollywood, Palms or the Rio. You will see alot of people your age in those casino and the cater to your age level..
Best places to eat = I like the cheesecake factory inside the caesars palace mall, N9NE steakhouse inside the palms casino. Del frisco which is one of the BEST restaurants in vegas..
Clubs = The best to me is either Jet at the Mirage or Pure at Caesars Palace..|||The nicest properties on the strip are Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, Bellagio, and the new CityCenter hotels Vdara, Aria, and Mandarin Oriental.
MGM and NYNY are mediocre. Planet Hollywood is a little nicer and has a wild party atmosphere so that's probably the best option.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Planet-Hollywood鈥?/a>|||You are right. MGM or Planet Hollywood will be a better experience than NYNY. Planet Hollywood would be my first choice because it is midstrip and across from the great view of Bellagio's fountains. MGM would be my 2nd choice. Go see NYNY casino because it is worth seeing but the rooms at NYNY are average.|||Wynn/Encore , Venetian/Palazzo, or Bellagio or Four Seasons are the highest rated casinos in the city, but for someone age 21, I would say Mandalay Bay for the swimming pool, or Hard Rock Casino or The Palms. They are more geared to someone your age.|||Expensive - but the "best" is the "Bellagio."

If one hotel is $100 per night with no resort fees, and another is $90 per night with $10 daily resort fees, they're the same price. That's the way to look at it.

- Treasure Island
- MGM
- Monte Carlo
- Mirage
Oh and we are in our early 20's.|||Choose in this order
- MGM Grand
- Caesars Palace
- Mirage
- Treasure Island
- Planet Hollywood
- Monte Carlo
Book directly from the hotels using their discount promo codes to get the maximum discounts. Here are a few codes.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||I would choose in this order:
Caesars
MGM
Mirage
Planet Hollywood
Monte Carlo
Treasure Island
They are all nice places, but Caesars is definitely a step above the others. You can't beat its location for one thing. It also has really nice rooms, great shopping and restaurants, and a really good pool area. It's one of my favorite places in Vegas.
MGM is a great place, but huge (overwhelmingly huge to some) and not in as good a location. Still, it's a busy area with a lot to see and do nearby.|||If you want to stay in the same luxurious vein as the Bellagio, the Wynn is the belle of the Las Vegas ball. The hotel may be farther down the Strip than many of the other options, but it鈥檚 directly across the street from a mall with 250 stores, and it has its own golf course. Plus, the Wynn offers top-notch dining, drinking, and entertainment options (Le Reve is not to be missed) in a grand Monte Carlo-esque setting. Rooms can be pricey (I found rates starting at $179 in February), but you can also find discounts by visiting during the shoulder season and by staying in the resort rooms versus the tower suites.
Another contender for grandeur (at a far more affordable price) along the Strip is the Venetian, which captures the essence of Venice (including its own canal and singing gondoliers). The hotel features theaters, shops, restaurants, trendy clubs, and a casino to keep you busy, or you can just sit by the water and watch the indoor sunset on the ceiling overhead. Since the hotel only offers suites, you鈥檙e certain to stay in the lap of luxury. We found suites starting at $139 per night during the winter, but keep an eye out for promotions for summer stays.
Located almost across the street from the Bellagio, Caesars Palace is an ideal location to enjoy all the glamour and glitz of the Strip. With a Roman theme complete with costume-clad centurions the hotel features a casino, shopping mall, choice of restaurants, nightclubs, spa, pool, and theater, making it easy for you to never leave the grounds. You can find rooms starting at $100 per night during the winter through the website鈥檚 hot deals section.
For a little romance along the Strip, the Paris brings the City of Light to Las Vegas, with its very own half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. The hotel offers a spa, a casino, a pool, nightclubs, and an indoor street filled with cafes and shops. And the Bellagio fountains are located directly across the street, making it a breeze to enjoy the free show. Rooms are decorated with a French flair, and at press time started at $90 per night in January. You can save throughout the year by booking your room through the website鈥檚 hot deals section.
It may not be the most glamorous hotel on the Strip, but what Bally鈥檚 lacks in glitz, it more than makes up for in price and location With an outdoor walkway that leads to the Bellagio and a passage to the Paris from inside the hotel, you can take full advantage of three casinos with very little effort. Plus, the hotel has its own casino, spa, nightclubs, and restaurants to keep you entertained. The best part, however, is the price of rooms start at $59 per night in January (at press time). Plus, you can save on stays any time of year through the website鈥檚 hot deals section.|||I am probably one of the few that does not like Caesars I don't like that it is very difficult to navigate and that there are traffic bottlenecks through part of the casino and this drives me mad though the rooms are the best out of what you have listed.
I dont like PH I preferred it as Aladdin
Mirage is my favourite hotel on the Strip for the money great rooms, great pool, great service nice rooms and good buffet and bars.
MGM is another of my favourites lots of bars, very large rooms, great spa, lots to do and a monorail station.|||Stay at the MGM Grand. I like the MGM because it seems like one of the rare places in Vegas that is tasteful. It's actually really nice to walk around instead of just being over the top and gaudy. Plus they have the monorail there which I highly recommend using. It's $30 for a three day ticket. You can spend that on one cab ride. It's much faster and less stressful than sitting in traffic too.
Don't know if you're gamblers, but if you stay at the MGM expect higher limit tables, especially at night.
Have fun!|||Hey guys,
ohk if you have kids, go to circus circus, its fun but crowed.
Ceaser's Palace, Mirage, and Mandaland(cant spell that sorry) bay is quite classy, but can come to a huge price for a good room.
Planet Hollywood, treasure Island,MGM and monte carlo are very, las vegasy- casinos with fun and bars, but are also very handy as they are in the middle of the strip.
Hope this helps you!!!!!|||I would pick Caesars Palace every time from that list. MGM is so huge and takes forever to even get to the strip from your room. Mirage is nice but can't hold a candle to the class of Caesars. Avoid PH, TI and Monte Carlo. Those hotels charge the resort fees that the Vegas hotels have snuck in to make their prices seem lower and then find out you have to pay those extra fees no matter what and at the other hotels you get them included in your original price.|||If you're in your early 20s, you should really contemplate staying at the Palms or Hard Rock. It has a better young crowd and more of that "what happens in vegas..." Atmosphere. The other places you mentioned has a lot of old people and families. Heck if you want to see that just go to Disneyland.
Do yourself a favor and live it up, Hard Rock or Palms|||I would check out the MGM Grand. They have great rates and there is a lot for young people to do around that area. It is also in a great location right on the strip. You can check out the studio 54 club in the MGM Grand which is a very cool spot to hang out.|||Venetian is the best: gorgeous casino, a shopping with a canal running down the middle including gondolas that you can ride and a wide range of restaurants that are reasonably priced.|||stay at tropicana|||Age wise PH or TI

MGM- great pool area, across from NYNY, rooms are okay. The only thing with this place is that its HUGE so there will be a lot of walking.
Planet Hollywood- recently renovated rooms, pool area isn't too good though, and the mall area is really hot and still being renovated from the Aladdin (at least it was when i was there over the summer)
Mirage- also recently renovated all of the rooms and public areas, really nice pool area, not too big
Bellagio- nice rooms too, dead center of the strip so you can't beat the location
Venetian/Palazzo- if you're going to stay at one of these, I would spend the extra to stay at the Palazzo. I stayed there last summer and it was well worth every penny ($300 a night for 3 nights) FANTASTIC pool area, open casino, connected with the Venetian but still not too massive to walk around in, everything's nice and new, and the rooms were the best I have ever stayed in. We were out around Vegas for most of the day, but it was still nice to come back for a little while in the afternoon and then at night to relax in a 5 star hotel room. Service was great and the location isn't too bad because you can catch the monorail at Harrah's to go to the other end of the strip. Only down side is restaurants, shops, etc. can be a little pricey but still manageable.
So, if you want the best hotel room with great amenities, I would choose Palazzo. If you want a good/cheaper hotel room with good amenities too then I would choose Mirage.|||With the amount of time you will be spending outside the room I would take NYNY and use the savings to see a show. It has a great location and you don't have to travel a mile to get to your hotel room like you would the MGM. Mirage is way over rated and aging with a gigantic crowd that makes it hard to move around. The last three are Five star hotels and well worth the money but still I would rather use the savings to do something else.|||If you can afford it the Venetian is amazing! I would definitely do that hotel again someday. NYNY is also a nice hotel. The atmosphere is pretty cool and the rooms are nice. Didn't go to the pool while I stayed there but I think it's pretty basic. Haven't done MGM or Planet Hollywood yet. And will be doing the Mirage this September for the first time.|||I would recommend taking the cheapest room, You never really spend a lot of time in it anyways. Utilize the money for some shows, nice restaurants (not the buffet), and go to the outlet downtown buy your girl something nice. Of the two on your list i would go with NYNY since they have good food and entertainment.|||I'll go with MGM. It's the second cheapest hotel on your list. Plus the MGM is an awesome hotel, and you can't go wrong with the location. If you want to go BIG, go with Venetian. Avoid at all cost Planet Hollywood, I stayed there and it was the worst stay I had in Vegas. Trust me I had my fair share with hotels in Vegas. It was the worst customer service in Vegas!!!|||Lots of good choices. I see everyone above likes the Venetian the most. Venetian does have shopping, restaurants, a cool pool, and nice sights.
Check out TI. We just got back from there and it was surprisingly nice. It's right across the street from Venetian and next door to the Mirage.
Planet Hollywood is great too. Another good area of the strip, really nice mall, young crowd, not such a great pool though. Just stayed there in Oct. '08 for my b-day.
NYNY I've heard good things. MGM is too huge so I would avoid. Hope this helps. Enjoy!|||The pools at the MGM are awesome. They have a 1,000 foot river pool with a currant in it that can't be beat anywhere. No matter where you stay, plan on doing a lot of walking. Also the 3 day monorail pass is well worth it if you plan on seeing as much as possible.|||Either Bellagio, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn or Encore...
But you should defently check your prices again it seems a bit high and you can probably get a better deal. Check out the offers on http://www.smartervegas.com good luck.|||I am a Bellagio guy, given I think they have the best poker room in Vegas. ;) ...never have to roam too far from the nest and able to enjoy all the amenities they have to offer.|||The answer that will get from me is go to trip advisor website and look for a budget hotel in Vegas..there you will find what you need and advice from other people.|||I would go to the Venetian. It is located in the center of the strip and is a very nice hotel.|||The Venetian is my favorite hotel in Vegas so I would defiantly go there if I were you.. plus, its very romantic!
take a gondola ride! <3|||I WOULD DEFINATELY GO WITH THE PALAZZO OR VENETIAN BUT IF YOUR ON A BUDGET GO WITH WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD!=) HAVE FUN IN VEGAS!|||Personally I would choose MGM because of its great pool area. Have you checked http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com ? You will find there the latest hotel promotion code offers which can lower your hotel room rates.|||Of your choices, I would have to go with the Venetian. There are no regular hotel rooms, only suites.
*|||Bellagio is the best but your list looks all good to me...My second choice would be the MGM. NYNY is great if you are from NY
Im going to DW for my first time with my family.
I did cave in an bought the dining plan for the week we will be there.
Since we've never been there, we're a good place to eat?
I need to start making reservations now. Ive already made 2 reservations for House of Blues and Planet Hollywood.
Also, with the Quick service meal, wheres a good place to grab a quick meal?
thanks|||Ok, Might I point out that if you have dining reservations at Downtown Disney and you are at a theme park- it will take you an hour to get there and another hour to get back. Make reservations at the park you are going to be at the time you want to eat dinner to save precious time.
MK- Crystal Palace for a big breakfast, Tony's for lunch or dinner
HS- 50's Prime Time diner, and our favorite WDW restaurant Mama Melrose.
EPCOT- Coral Reef-the best for atmosphere- the whole wall is an aquarium was very cool.
In the Worlds
France, Mexico and Canada have the best reputations for dining.
Look at the site below for a list of all menus at WDW
personally I think the Sci Fi diner is the worst restaurant in WDW.
make sure planted hollywood and house of blues are included in the dining plan.|||Here are some of our favorites:
Quick Service:
Any of the resort food courts are decent
Flame Tree BBQ in ANimal Kingdom
Pinocchio House (can't remember the exact name) in Magic Kingdom (Fantasy Land area)
Commissary in Hollywood Studios
**Honestly, almost any of them are good in my opinion...those are just a couple of favorites.**
Table Service
Crystal Palace - Magic Kingdom - Character Meal - Buffet
Garden Grill - The Land, Epcot - Character Meal - Family style
Spoodles - Boardwalk - Great menu; mediterranean style food
Boma - Animal Kingdom Lodge - African CUISINE - Buffet (excellent food! and if you have fussy eaters they do have the typical chicken fingers etc)
Sci-Fi Drive in - Hollywood Studios - nice; okay menu; atmosphere is a little dark and could scare sensitive small kids
50s Prime Time Cafe - Hollywood Studios - LOVE IT; atmosphere is fun; wait staff is good and fun and the food is excellent.
Luau at the Polynesian - EXCELLENT food; great dinner show. I think it takes two of your table service meals. It's worth it in my opinion, but it does take up a full evening.
Ohana - Polynesian - Character meal for breakfast only I believe - I've heard it's good.
Chef Mickey - Contemporary - character meal - I've not been there but have heard that it's good and it is on our list for the next trip.|||From my last trip I really enjoyed:
Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom
50's Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios
Coral Reef in EPCOT (This one basically has you sitting inside a giant aquarium)
Le Cellier Steakhouse in Canada in EPCOT
Narcoossee's at Grand Floridian resort (this takes 2 credits)
Kona Cafe at Polynesian resort
Also, don't forget about all the great restaurants at the other resorts. You aren't just limited to the parks.
For quick service in Animal Kingdom the Flame Tree Barbecue is really good. And in Downtown Disney both The Earl of Sandwich & Wolfgang Puck Express are good.
Be sure to make reservations early and enjoy!|||Depends on what kind of food you like. I like the Sci Fi Dine in the best, the meal plan I think only works at Disney places, not Planet Hollywood or Rain Forest, but its been a number of years since I have worked there. The Pizza at the All Stars that they bring up to the rooms is SO good! Cinderella's Royal Table is neat, very nice to be in the castle but the food was so-so.
Here is a link to the menus to help you decide:
http://allears.net/menu/menus.htm|||Hollywood & Vine at Hollywood studios is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! All you can eat and they actually have healthy food (fab desserts....the mini pumpkin cheesecakes are to die for!) as well as the token bad faves. So good, we went twice in 7 days. If you can go for an early dinner/late lunch, you wont need a late meal. We went so we could get reserved seats at Fantasmic.
Tusker House at Animal Kingdom is brilliant too! My nephews loved it and my brother raves about it too.
One place to avoid though (unless you like that type of thing) is the restaurant at Epcot in Morocco....overpriced, small meals and a bit weird (minced beef in pastry parcels dusted with icing? Thought itd be okay but YUK!)|||Hey, the House of Blues accepts the dining plan now? Last time I was there they did not, and I heard they have great food, so I was kinda bummed.
As far as other great dining places to eat, my favorites are:
TABLE-SERVICE:
Le Cellier (Epcot-Canada)
Chefs de France (Epcot-France)
Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining (Epcot-Japan)
Biergarten (Epcot-Germany)
Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom)
Mama Melrose (Hollywood Studios)
Tusker House (Animal Kingdom)
QUICK-SERVICE:
Flame Tree BBQ (Animal Kingdom)
Pizzafari (Animal Kingdom)
Yak 'n' Yeti counter service (Animal Kingdom)
Pecos Bill (Magic Kingdom)
Village Haus (Magic Kingdom)
Colombia Harbour House (Magic Kingdom)
Main Street Bakery (Magic Kingdom)
Studio Catering Co. (Hollywood Studios)
Catalina Eddie's (Hollywood Studios)
Yakitori House (Epcot-Japan)
Sunshine Seasons (Epcot-The Land)
Earl of Sandwich (Downtown Disney) ...hub's fave...all he talks about is the tuna melt.
Wolfgang Puck's Express (Downtown Disney)
...and.... you have GOT to go to Boulangerie Patisserie in Epcot's France...they have such wonderful desserts...I love their chocolate mousse! ...you can use your snack credits there.
BUT, all in all it really depends on your own individual taste buds...so, the very best way to decide where to eat is to look at the menus itself...here's a great website to help you out, plus you can take a look at the prices to get an idea of about how much tip will be at each of the table-service restaurants http://www.allears.net/menu/menus.htm
...Personally, I love the dining plan...I will always purchase the plan on every future visit to Disney. Have a great time, it is sooooo much fun...also, be sure to take advantage of the "Extra Magic Hours" http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/ca鈥?/a> complimentary only to resort guests. ...and also use their free "fast pass" service http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-s鈥?/a> ...this saves a lot of waiting time with the more popular attractions.|||We've been to WDW 13 times.
This is a list of our favorite places to dine, where you will need reservations. Since I don't know your age, you can check the Disney website to see which ones & you may like (you can book online now):
Magic Kingdom:
Crystal Palace (has characters, but still nice for adults.It's beautiful & the food is delicious
Cinderella's Royal Table (it's special to dine in the castle with the Princesses. Hard to get a reservation. If it's booked, keep trying; you could get lucky if there's a cancellation
Tony's Town Square (nice, if you can get a window seat & watch the electric light parade)
Quick Serve:
Columbia Harbour House (nautical theme. one of the better quick service places)
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe (burgers & such, with a toppings bar & you can watch a cute animatronic alien singing, while you eat)
El Pirata y el Perico Restaurant (great for taco's. only open for a limited time, for lunch)
Peco's Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe (burgers & such. You can eat their food, or go across the way & get a turkey leg at the stand & bring it here to eat it. It's delicious & we usually split one between the 3 of us)
Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station (Asian. Very good)
Epcot:
Akershus (If you want to dine with the Princesses & can't get into the castle, you could try this place in Norway)
Coral Reef Restaurant (wonderful to dine & watch sea life)
Le Cellier-Canada (great for steaks)
Les Chefs de France-France (we enjoy lunch here. You can get a meal with French Onion Soup, ham & cheese sandwich & creme brulee that is very good. Nice atmosphere)
Restaurant Marrakesh-Morocco (we enjoy lunch here. Food is tasty. They have live music & belly dancer)
Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room-UK (you can eat indoors, or outdoors. Traditional English fare)
San Angel Inn-Mexico (great Mexican food & you can watch the ride that goes through the pavillion. Charming)
Quick Service:
La Cantina De San Angel-Mexican food. Great place to watch Illuminations, if you get there early
Electric Umbrella Restaurant-Future World (American fare)
Liberty Inn-America (American fare)
Lotus Blossum Cafe-China (nice Chinese fare)
The bakeries at France & Norway are great too
Disney's Hollywood Studios:
We've dined at all the restaurants here. They are all quite nice. It depends on what you like
Quick Service:
ABC Commissary (mainly American, & a chinese dish too)
Toy Story Pizza Planet (pizza, of course, lol. Really cute. Makes you feel like you're in the Toy Story movie)
Animal Kingdom:
Rainforest Cafe (Fun atmosphere. Not on dining plan though)
Quick Service:
Restaurantasaurus (McDonald's food)
Resorts:
Chef Mickey's-Contemporary (very popular. characters. good food. fun)
California Grill-Contemporary (fine dining. Overlooks Magic Kingdom. You can see Wishes here too)
O'Hana's-Polynesian (beautiful atmosphere. Delicious food. You can see & hear Wishes fireworks here on the evenings they have it, & also the electric light parade on the water. Fabulous!)
Boma's-Animal Kingdom Lodge (our favorite buffet. Fabulous food.
Nice atmosphere. Try their juice-very tasty)
Jiko's-Animal Kingdom Lodge (more for adults. Food can be on the spicy side. The walls change colors of the African sunset)
Whispering Canyon Cafe-Wilderness Lodge (best ribs. Tons of fun)
Cape May Cafe-Beach Club-You can walk here from Epcot exit by UK. (great seafood buffet. Lovely atmosphere)
If you are using Disney transportation & dining at a resort, allow extra time to get there, since you have to change buses at the Transportation & Ticket Center. Have Fun!|||there are so many places there to eat and all styles. Why not call your hotel and ask what's near there (you don't want to spend a lot of time getting to where you want to eat). If you want formal say so, if you want something fun and different then ask them about that, also ask them the easiest way to get there. Maybe they have a shuttle and you can go places along that line.
I'm going to the city with some friends for my birthday. And we don't know where we should go for dinner. We intended on going to Planet Hollywood or The Hard Rock Cafe, but they don't take reservations, and there is 12 of us so that's kinda a problem. So im looking for a place in or around Time Square, nice but not to expensive, that takes reservations...
Thanks so much!|||Junior's Cheesecakes Diner in Times Square
The Hook-up is awesome :D
I asked before but i wanna ask again:
Excalibur
Planet Hollywood Resort
Monte Carlo Resort
Treasure Island
Paris Las Vegas
Mirage
The Venetian
Bellagio
Wynn
MGM
In terms of prices, room quality, convenience (to airport and casinos), etc.|||Well Wynn would have the best poker but also the highest limits. Also, same for the Bellagio. The Bellagio has a great poker room and poker tournaments are held their often. Forget the Excalibur, Planet Hollywood aka Aladdin, Treasure Island, Paris, Monte Carlo-they just have the standard gaming floor. They have poker but are not known for their poker room. MGM has a large gaming floor, not bad, good for average players and has a high roller room. I am not a fan of the Venetian because they do not treat the guests well, even at the tables. Mirage is also good for table games. Best place before the Bellagio and now the Wynn but the Mirage is good and decent room prices.
Every hotel/casino has shuttles to the hotels to and from the airport. They are all on the Las Vegas Strip. The furtherest from the airport is the Wynn but just by one block. MGM owns Exacalibur (the cheapest place to stay on your list), Treasure Island-TI, Mirage, Bellagio and the MGM-same airport shuttle for all.
If I had to reccomend any of these places to stay and you are just on an average budget I would choose the Mirage or Paris. If you have no budget the Wynn or Bellagio and if you want the cheapest the Excalibur.
The center of the Strip would be the Bellagio, Paris, Mirage and TI. MGM and Excalibur at the beginning. Plan to do a lot of walking or taxis if you stay at those two.|||You are asking about a lot of different properties. My suggestion is for you to go to the following link. It's the average person's guide to Las Vegas, and it will give you a lot of valuable information about any property you are interested in.
Hope this helps.|||I don't know much about the hotels, but I can tell you that there is no convenient way to get to the airport. You MUST take a taxi and it will be between $15-50 depending on the day and the time that you travel. As for the location of the hotel in comparison to the casinos: any of those will be fine because you will be on the strip. It is a lot of walking no matter where you stay. Paris is my absolute favorite place on earth! I can not afford to stay there though. I stay downtown at the Golden Nugget which is awesome for a fraction of the price compared to a nice hotel on the strip. The food is cheaper downtown and I always have better odds gambling there too. Check out Orbitz or Priceline and it will let you know how much rooms are and there are reviews on them as well. Good luck.|||I would go with MGM or Wynn - the larger ones. Check out the Las Vegas sights guide on Cafeyak.com|||Excalibur has paper thin walls.
Monte Carlo is alright...
Mirage is also alright...
The Venetian is nice
The Bellagio is nice too
Wynns' standard rooms are "bright & airy"
MGM...I stayed there once and the bathroom was FILTHY !
(Built-up scum in the sink, stains in the shower;on the mirror;on the floor;under the toilet seat)
Plus the room was kind of tiny "Tokyo-style"...would not stay there again !! In their favor...they did have a l'il tv inside the bathroom mirror...lol !|||look them up yourself online under Las Vegas..
www.google.com|||i've been to the MGM.... i don't know prices.... but the rooms are TINY........ i mean they kinda have to be to have the most hotel rooms in all of las vagas..... i hated it...... when i say they were small i REALLY REALLY mean it...... it was very close to other casinos though.... it's kinda in the middle of everything..... or at least it was when i was there.... but it's been about 4 years|||If all you want to do is play poker and money isn't really a problem there is no other choice for you but the Bellagio. And you have to make it downtown to Binion's to play poker since that's where the WSOP is played. It's got pictures of all the great players up and it's nostalgic. Good luck!|||The Paris is a little older crowd, but they have great Crepes. The MGM is a little outdated, but they have lions to look at and their bartenders do a song and dance show (yeah). The Venetian is ok. A little guady for my taste. Who pays to ride a gondola (the little boat) around 4ft deep pool? The Bellagio is by far the best on your list if you can afford it. Be sure to see the water show at least once or twice. And the pirate show at Treasure Island is cool the first time. Not cool enought to stay there, but fun none the less. They are all about the same distance from the airport. The strip is parallel to the airport. They are also all casinos, so convenience is more about the price of the casino you are interested in. They all have $10 blackjack tables and poker rooms, slots and craps, so...really the difference is in theme and clubs. My favorites aren't even on your list. Mandalay Bay, Hard Rock (the Pink Taco has great food and you'll feel like a rock star) are nice if you're not ready to eat yogurt and spend your time checking out the shopping deals and buffets.
If you have the money, go with the Wynn or Bellagio.|||most of the ones you mention all have good size poker rooms...but..4-8 is usually the smallest game...i like bally's poker room and the hotel rooms are nice...plus it is reasonable priced...it is a short walk to planet hollywood,bellgio,flamingo and o'sheas poker rooms...good luck bro
OUR OWN EXTINCTION, and other life-forms which have been beginning to wane, and disappear from the earth?
PLANET Hollywood, produces film after very costly films, sensationalizing our almost imminent extinction. I'm certain that millions of dollars are spent making the "Boo!!!" movies as entertainment, not as ways to recognize, then recuperate the GREAT harm we've done to our natural resources. What is serious of matter, becomes another kind of avoidance from a stark reality we are facing. If such sensationalist sour-eye-candy is to continue being made, AS ENTERTAINMENT, and TO FURTHER AGGRANDIZE, already highly paid actors g for their role in them...why is no one, in that REMOTE planet: Hollywood, consider that the money these films make can be donated to the REALITY of our failing earth, and instead of sensationalizing such REAL situations, present them as the TRUE possibility that a Catastrophic end may very well welcome us, though rudely, in not to many years hence?
Actors seem to live in their own paradise of wealth, alike bejeweled peacocks strutting up and down the red carpet, to our supposed delight and amazement! They are clearly VAIN! However, they'd also like to seem as philanthropic, caring individuals to the cause at hand...would they then be willing to sacrifice the earnings for ONE film as their effort to the cause of saving our earth?
And coming down to US; the populace, would we go see these films and donate our admission price to the cause, instead of the theater? Just once, would do a great service!!! >(I am aware the theaters have to pay for their rent.)
Do you see any possibilities in these sacrifices for the common good, and the reparation of our neglect and destructiveness, already obvious in the condition of our planet, or NO?
What do you think?
If Yes, elaborate, and add your own methods toward the cause, please?
If No, what reasons do you feel are against it?
I realize that we are selfish, neglectful creatures with no peripheral sight, hardly any foresight, and have a tendency to only look after ourselves and what we call ours...but WHAT will we call ours, when the ours is no more, and extinction is firmly stationed, and waiting at our DOORS???
Thank you.|||For the most part, almost all of us fall into one of two categories:apathetic or conscience contributors. The apathetic simply: don't care; will never act to any degree; deny any change in the environment or climate. The conscience contributor: while acknowledging change in the environment or climate performs token tasks of conservation/saving.
Most of us know that the Earth has sustained damage. It is irreparable. Like a cancer, it can only be slowed or put into remission at best, but not restored. Ozone can not be replicated/reproduced to 'fill in holes'. Contaminants already in the atmosphere can not be removed. Ground water can not be unpolluted. Long burning underground coal fires around the world still can not be extinguished. The world's demise has been set into motion. When will it end? No one can ever say with any certainty.
I'm not preaching childhoods end. I'm just pointing out that what's done is done. All that you can hope to do is to ease the extent and rapidity of further damage. We're all guilty of enjoying the creature comforts of Y/A! and tech, cars and the places they take us, food and the cost of raising & feeding it, breathing and the result of air & gas in our bodies, we can't help but enjoy life contribute to the problem, however inadvertently it may well be.|||The experience of Communism shows that it is not a good idea to take money from someone who knows how to earn it and give it to someone who does not. That spoils people.
I suggest we leave the Hollywood stars alone. They do no harm and lots of good as long as they perform well and pay taxes. After all they are just innocent babies whose every awkward gesture and inarticulate sound provokes smiles and cheers from everyone around. We can't afford to lose our innocence.
As for saving the planet... well, why not? History over the last couple centuries testifies that the humans tend, in the long run, to be more reasonable than not. We avoided a worldwide communist revolution (a nineteenth century 'inevitability') and a worldwide nuclear war (a twentieth century 'inevitability'). The Communist utopia and the Nazi dystopia are both history now. Are we in for another 'inevitability'? I think we can cope. Only I believe it will be rather by technology than redistribution of funds.
I am fully aware that optimism is always annoying. However, I also think that it is better sometimes to annoy thy neighbour than depress him. And are there any other ways of loving thy neighbour apart from annoying or depressing him? None to my knowledge at least.|||Well I can see the point you are making here, and it may be a possibility, though I doubt it will happen on the kind of scale you mean. I'm sure there are people out there who sacrifice something small and frivolous so they can give to one charity or another. But they money can come from anything. It doesn't necessarily have to come exclusively from box office tickets. And if celebrities can help raise support, hey at least they are good for something. I know I haven't made any speeches to raise support for any charities, and if I did, no one would listen to me. Celebrities, whether we like it or not, are extremely influential, and I am for them using their power for something good once in a while. They best thing we can do is give what we can, and maybe inspire someone else.
where does mgm, caesars, planet hollywood, etc. buy their casino supplies from? state specifics. any websites. particular shops? Where do you get professional security for casinos. Bascially everything needed for a casino.|||I have purchased anything I need from http://www.discountcasinogear.com and have not had any problems from them yet.

We have a wedding to attend in Vegas in a few months. I am not sure if we should bring our (will be 8 months old at the time) baby with us. We are able to leave him at home with my parents so there are no concerns about child care. I am wondering if anyone has any experience or advice re: Las Vegas with an infant. I believe the hotel we would be staying at is Planet Hollywood. Thanks for any advice!|||Keep Baby at home with Mom and Dad. He'll be happier and so will you. Then you can kick up your heels and have fun. Nothing for a baby to do here. Besides, you'll be dragging him all over the hotel and Las Vegas is a hotbed of germs since people come from all over the world to stay here and bring their viruses and germs with them.|||Congrats on the Baby and Wedding...
I would recommend leaving the baby home
Bright lights
And strippers everywhere is not a very good enviorment for the little baby
Peace, Charlie|||Deffinatley not a good idea.
My mother took me to vegas when I was 7 months old.
She said it was horrible.
She got drunk and dropped me a few times and drunk people tried to kiss me and hold me. She also said that two drunk men said they'd throw beer on me if my mother didn't pay him $100.
She also said on the way back to the airport from vegas a man threated to throw a rock through mmy window and hit me if she didn't give him $20.
I deffinatley reccomend keeping your son/daughter with youre parents.
It's better to be safe then sorry.
Hope this Helps|||Best to leave the little one home. Not old enough to enjoy any of the sights and if he starts crying that could be irritating to others.|||No its not really a good enviorment for an infant. I went there in october and there were a couple people on the strip handing out hooker cards. Ya youll see those all over the ground in some places. But the Strip is amzing!! Youll love especially at night. its awsome. oh and the Bilagio has this water show which is awsome.Replica of the eifle tower and alot of other stuff. Tho bring chapstick. im not lieing when i say bring your chapstick. The air is really dry. And youll get tired fast. other than that its amazing. if you need any more answers, just ask me. Have Fun !!|||Absolutely not a good place to bring a baby. Mostly for your sake. You have to walk miles to where you want to go. You can take expensive cabs or a buses to most places on the Strip or Downtown, but that is about it. Don't forget the "germs". You have people there from all over the world who have flown into L.V. Lots of sick people in those crowds.|||Leave the baby at home. You won't be able to enjoy the town with the baby. Take advantage of having some alone couple time, practice making a second baby, and let the grandparents enjoy being grandparents. 8 months old is a good age to venture out on your first short trip. It will be good for everyone! I've been there too. I know it is hard to leave the baby the first time. But you also need to take care of yourself and your relationship with your husband.|||If you don't have to bring the baby, then don't. Besides the reasons which the other posted stated (they are all true), children are only allowed on the path through casinos, they can't sit with you when in the gaming areas (practically all of the casino). There is so much smoke and other smells that might affect the baby's breathing or skin. You are expected to do more walking than you probably have ever done and an 8 month old is heavy and strollers are bulky in crowded areas. Besides, the Wynn has a "no stroller" policy and I believe children are only allowed in the Bellagio if guests of the hotel and both of these resorts are "must see" places. If you are more comfortable having the baby with you, Vegas does have sights acceptable for him/her but at 8 months they won't remember it and you and your hubbie/bf are limited.
Enjoy the vacation without the baby.|||My wife and I brought our infant to Las Vegas as visitors and now that we live here we have two kids four and eight. Planet Hollywood, unlike Belaggio, Wynn, Encore is not overtly anti child. You cannot bring a stroller into Belaggio at all. Planet Hollywood is a cool hotel, but it's big (although not as big as Caesars) so if you have to carry your kiddie, your arm won't fall off getting to your room elevators. Planet Hollywood is Hard Rock Hotel like in that it caters to very young, very "hip" gamblers so you may feel like you stick out a bit with a very young child. I'm always more self conscious when I have my kids in tow at a place like the Palms or Planet Hollywood than the Orleans, Paris or even the Venetian.
I would say my biggest argument against bringing a kid to Las Vegas and into the casinos is the cigarette smoke. The bright lights, the noise of the slots, the sexy billboards, etc will mean nothing to a kid under 3, but the cigarette smoke is annoying and who wants their kid's clothes to smell like an ashtray?
You also didn't mention if you would be renting a car. If you bring the kid, I would highly, highly recommend it. Taxis are an incredible ripoff, they drive nearly as bad as New York cab drivers and while the double deck bus system is a lot of fun, it's crowded on the strip. Walking is o-u-t. The distances between properties is abusive, especially from Planet Hollywood, so do yourself a favor and get a car.
Finally, as someone who has lived here for five years, if you are coming in a warm/hot month, leave the baby at home. My first year here the temp was 118 in July. It's been hotter. How hot is that? So hot that when you put the baby in the car's baby seat and you touch that metal part to clip them in - it leaves a visible burn mark on your hand.
So there you have it. Socio-psychological moral arguments I think are pretty weak, but parenting is all about logistics and logistically speaking: Las Vegas is a challenge for parents with young kiddies.
Viva!|||No, don't take the baby. You will be stuck in the hotel room. Going to Vegas is a chance to live a little and kick loose. Vegas is for fun, not for baby sitting.|||Leave the baby to be spoiled rotten with Grandma and Grandpa. The noise and commotion in the casinos can be very overwhelming to a small child, and since you pretty much have to cut thru the casino to get ANYWHERE, you'd have one hysterical kid for a large part of the trip. It wouldn't be enjoyable for anyone at that point.|||Not an uncommon question.

My girlfriend and I are going back to Disney in January...last year we ended up going to Rainforest cafe, Planet Hollywood, Sci-Fi Dine In Theater, and Tony's in Magic Kingdom...other than those restaurants what are some other ones that have good food?? Any opinions on San Angel Inn (Epcot) or Coral Reef restaurant? Thanks.|||Coral Reef is one of my favorites. The food is excellent and the fact that you are sitting in front of one of the largest aqariums in the world makes the experience that much better. The last time we were there a shark was hanging out near the glass by our table, it was the coolest thing! Be prepared however because it is expensive.
There are a bunch of other restaurants that are really good as well. Fulton's Crab House in Downtown Disney is tops. If you like seafood and don't want to go to Coral Reef, try Fulton's. It is also pricey, but well worth it. The staff was courteous and friendly, and the food was to die for. Also on our list of fav's is Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary. If you want to do a character meal, this is the best. The food is average to above average, however Mickey and the gang take turns coming directly to your table. Le Cellier steakhouse in Canada is also good, along with the restaurants in Japan and Germany. In MGM try the 50's Prime Time cafe. It is just like eating in a kitchen in the late 50's complete with "Mom" barking at you to eat your veggies. My wife didn't eat hers last time, so the waitress brought them out hidden under whip cream and sprinkles as a dessert!
For a quick casual place to eat Casey's Corner is a family favorite in the Magic Kingdom, as is the Columbia Harbour House and El Pirata Y El Perico. Each has quick service and the food was reasonable.
If you need more info, I would recommend checking out the disboards. The disboards is a message board website that is all about going to Disney. You can get resort reviews, reviews on each restaurant, trip reports, tips for avoiding crowds and much more from people who go often and know what they are talking about. I put the link below.
Hope this helps, have a great trip!!|||My favorites are Boma's buffet at Animal Kingdom Resort and Ohana's at Polynesian Resort. I like those two restaurants for both breakfast and dinner!|||Coral Reef at EPCOT is one of my favorites! It is a bit pricey, but you can save yourself some money by dining there for lunch instead of dinner. I didn't care for the San Angel restaurant, but I'm picky about my Mexican food.
You must, must, must try Boma-Flavors of Africa! It is my favorite WDW Restaurant and a treat for folks who love creative cuisine and trying new things. It is an all-you-can eat buffet located inside the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Make a reservation for dinner. They offer foods from Africa, Egypt and other Pacific Rim Countries. The food is in short, amazing! Their desserts are fantastic too. My favorite menu items include the fu-fu (tastes like pumpkin pie), silantro lime vinagrette for the salads, the seafood gumbo, and the zebra cakes and chocolate mousse for dessert. They have American fare for picky eaters and kids as well which includes Prime Rib, mac n cheese, chicken fingers, etc... Just a fun atmosphere and some of the best food you'll ever have- truly unique.
Other great places to try include:
Cape May Cafe - Disney's Beach Club Resort
Ohana - Disney's Polynesian Resort
Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show - Disney's Poly Resort
Biergarten Restaurant - EPCOT
Nine Dragons - EPCOT
Mama Melrose's - Disney-MGM Studios

Have a wonderful trip!|||The restaurants in Italy and Mexico are very good. I would also recommend O'Hanas at the Polynesian, and Spoodles on the Boardwalk.|||I love California Grill - great food and if you go at the right time they dim the lights and you can have an amazing view of the fireworks over the castle!|||The Cuban place at Downtown Disney was Awesome! (I think it is owned by Gloria Estafan)|||O'Hana at the Polynesian Resort is excellent. You don't have to stay there to eat there and it's a quick ride from the Magic Kingdom on the monorail.
At Epcot, I also like Alfredo's at the Italy Pavilion.
I've never been to the Coral Reef. But what I hear from others is that the surroundings are good, but the food not so much.|||At Epcot, the world showcase has good restuarants from around the world. I like the Morrocan and my wife really likees the French restaurant.|||My favorite is the California Grill on the top floor of the Contemporary Hotel. The best time to eat there is during the Wishes Fireworks Show where you can get a bird's eye view of the show and they play its music in the restaurant. But if you finished early, you can head out on to the catwalk adjacent to the restaurant. You definitely need to make reservations well in advance for this restaurant and it is a bit pricey. I recommend the sushi and my boyfriend- the tenderloin. :)
Here is a website to let you know all the menus at the park:
http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/di鈥?/a>|||They are both great restaurants!! San Angel give you a view of the MAYAN period and has an great atmosphere!! The food however can be pretty spicy....but good. Coral Reef has a nice atmosphere..but not as good as San Angel...the food however..is SOOO GOOOD!!|||Many people say the best place is Le Cellier steakhouse in Epcot's Canada Pavillion.
We're going for our first time in December and we have the dining plan. I've made reservations for the following restaurants based on reviews and recommendations:
O'hana @ Polynesian Resort
Le Cellier @ Epcot Canada Pavillion
50's Primetime Cafe @ MGM
Coral Reef (but more for the atmosphere than the food.)
Grand Floridian Cafe
Mama Melrose's (mainly for the Fantasmic dinner package.)
im taking some 13 year olds to dallas area and need some fun things to do and some cool restaurants. We were going to go to planet hollywood but it colsed down. We need some cool restaurants like that. And some fun things to do. please.|||Grapevine Mills Mall is a good choice, especially if it's hot out. There's a ton of active stuff for them to do there, and you can always get a relatively quiet couple of hours in the movie theater.
Downtown Fort Worth has a ton of museums, including the cattleman's and cowboy museums, and the science museum.
Also, if you don't want to pay the Hurricane Harbor prices, go to NRH2O in North Richland Hills. Great water park, a fraction of the Hurricane Harbor price.|||Six Flags, or Hurricane Harbor. Also Ripley's believe it or not wax museum. Walk around downtown Dallas, and go see the Seventh Floor museum.|||The Hard Rock Cafee might be open. Good luck!|||Grapevine Mills Mall has a skate park and The Rainforest Cafe, really cool. Don't forget to go to Six Flags.
The Magic Time Machine is geared more towards tweens, but they might enjoy it.|||Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, Fiar Park, Science Place & other museums, Kimbel Art Museum (my fave) Rangers Ballpark but they won't be home for a few days. To eat. MERCARDO JAUREZ. It's in Arlington and it's great.|||Magic Time Machine, Rainforest Cafe, Hard Rock. See if there's a Rangers game (if they are into baseball), skating at the Galleria.
2 of us going. Both males 21 years old. First time in Vegas, want it all really. Partying and casinos. The propre vegas experience. Shortlisted to Bellagio/Palms/Mirage/Planet Hollywood. Budget doesnt matter.|||planet hollywood.|||I vote for Planet Hollywood. I just visited PH, Bellagio and Mirage today. Bellagio struck me as an old tired version of Encore and Wynn, not worth their high price. I was disappointed today as Bellagio struck me as an upscale luxury property on my previous visits. That has worn off. Mirage is a step or two below Bellagio. (Steve Wynn built both properties and it's interesting to see the progression in attention to detail and the level of luxury from his oldest projects to his newest.) Palms is similar to Mirage in atmosphere, a bit brighter and more of a party atmosphere, but being off the strip is an annoyance. PH is center strip and an easy walk to MGM, Paris, Ballys, the busy Flamingo block, Bellagio and Caesars Palace. Their Miracle Mile is a nice updated shopping mall to walk around and window shop or drop loads of cash. And they always have classic rock blasting. You'll also like their Passion Pit which is kind of a strip club in the center of the casino.|||Palms is the best party hotel of those listed, but it's not on the strip and isn't really walking distance either. You could go over to Rio and take the shuttle from there to the strip, or you could take a taxi.
Bellagio is beautiful and a really nice place, but not really a party hotel. It's very classy and upscale.
Planet Hollywood is a very fun place with a great location on the strip. There are lots of things to get into in and around there.
Mirage has an even better location, and a great nightclub (JET). It's also right next to Caesars, which has Pure nightclub, and Venetian, which has Tao nightclub. Those are probably the 2 biggest clubs on the strip.
It's a hard decision. I would want to be on the strip for the best Vegas experience. There is so much to do there, and it's nice to be in the middle of it all. ANd I think you'd prefer a fun hotel rather than a more upscale one.
So I'd recommend, for your situation:
Planet Hollywood
Mirage
Palms
Bellagio|||i live here, and work here....so i feel very qualified to answer this question. first, i have NEVER understood the appeal of the palms. it's small, and not on the strip. which means, you will miss all that exciting action from walking the strip to stumbling into your hotel. bellagio is not a young person's spot. cross that off your list. i'm not familiar with planet hollywood, but the mirage is truly like stepping into a hawaiian oasis in the middle of the desert. i think that would be your best bet. the rooms are swank, but could definately hold up to 2 party boys standards (think of a fantasy island room here--family stays here) and you are in the center of the strip. all the action truly happens right outside the mirage doors (the volcano anyone?). and if you have ever seen vegas vacation, well, this is the hotel. when i was your age, this was the place that i always hung. you can walk the strip, see the activities, and literally be back at your hotel in no time. i hope you would consider the mirage...you will not be disappointed!! hope this helped. have fun!!|||If budget is no issue, I would choose the Bellagio from your list. It's a a great location and a higher class hotel. Though really you shouldn't plan to spend a lot of time in your room, so my personal choice would be Planet Hollywood as it's a great location (across from Bellagio), a good price yet they still have good rooms. I prefer to walk around to each of the casinos, so it doesn't matter what the casino is like in the hotel I'd be staying at.|||Planet Hollywood is in a great position on the centre strip ( as is Bellagio) but is better value. It has a great buffet breakfast with everything you could possibly want, plenty of bars and places to eat and it's own shopping mall. Casino is good with free lessons in the morning if you want to learn craps or whtever. Plenty of free drinks when you're gambling. Rooms are really spacious too. Bellagio is great too but more pricey.|||Hmm ... out of Bellagio, Palms, Mirage, & Planet Hollywood...
Stayed at all of those except Bellagio. PH has a young crowd and recently updated in the last 2 years. Mirage is centrally located and has a nice pool. Palms is off the strip and has a cool rooftop club.
For you, I'd say Planet Hollywood. It's also right across from the new Aria casino.|||I've only stayed at one hotel/casino in Vegas and thats the New York New York. At the New York New York its an endless amount of fun! They have a 200 ft roller coaster that goes about 70mph and it has a lot of resturants. The New York New York is not fancy like Mandalay Bay or the Wynn but it is very reasonably priced and is alot of fun
On the other hand there is Mandalay Bay-
Mandalay Bay is very high class and fancy and isn't very kid friendly. They have a shark exhibit and the casino is nothing but fresh air and does not smell like smoke at all. Mandalay Bay is very high class and up tight so when you go to mandalay bay expect to pay about 100 dollars a night for a reasonable room.
The Luxor- The Luxor is very kid friends has a vending machine with ipods in it! I think thats really cool.
The Luxor has a titanic exhibit! I found that very interesting.
Overall I think that the New York New York is kid friendly and it is great for gambling etc. It has a great spa so if you go there be ready to get pampered big time! The pool is fabolous, they have cabanas, 2 jaccuzzis and it is a very fun hotel
If I didnt help then I think this site will:
please visit www.vegas.com

If your out the strip go with Hard Rock then the Palms casino, why because all 4 location have hot girls your age from 21-35. Bellagio is more of the 30 and up class and its caters more to the older crowd! Go with PH you will love it!!|||Hi,
Being 21 and your first time in Las Vegas. Even though it is not walking distance to the Las Vegas Strip. The Palms has the Rain nightclub it is a great place to party. I would choose the Palms Las Vegas Hotel.|||Stay at the Palms they have all the best events going on and one of the best restaurants in all of Las Vegas. The restaurant is called Nove Italiano and they have clubs like Rain, Moon bar, Playboy club. Check it all out http://n9negroup.com/#/nove/main/|||Ritz Carlton, The Mansion at the MGM, Monte Carlo, Trump, Planet Hollywood. Go to www.richardstravelandtours.com they will give you flight, and luxury hotel accomdations.|||Budget no issue. Bellagio top of the line.
But at 21 if you want to meet hot ladies, Palms. Just off the major street, you will need a car or cabs to get to the resort corridor.|||Hello

Palazzo/Venetian on the strip-[middle of strip so can go either direction,good club]|||No budget then the Bellagio the Palms is off the strip.

Palm for sure!|||Planet Hollywood.
Don't forget to tip!|||Some where down town, it is cheaper then the strip and you wont be disappointed.|||I would also add the Hard Rock to your short list.|||Straight up: two 21 year old guys, looking for the party hotel? Palms. No question.|||Honestly it does not matter. They are all great and the action is everywhere.|||I think Planet Hollywood. Palms is good, but not on strip.
A group of us are heading to Vega for August long weekend. We are all late 20's and want a hotel that has a fun pool with either a dj or music playing. We stayed at the Luxor last year and it was great, but we'd like to stay somewhere different this time..I was thinking either the MGM Grand or Planet Hollywood, or The Mirage...but let can anyone help us out......where do you recommend??|||The hotels with the best pool parties and pool scenes are.
Mandalay Bay
MGM Grand
Flamingo
Mirage
Venetian
Hard Rock
Palms
Monte Carlo \ Aria
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>|||These are my favorite pool parties:
1. Wet Republic (MGM)--good crowd, expensive drinks lot of fun and lots of celebrities, athletes, etc.
7 days a week.
2. Rehab (Hard Rock) very happy crowd but often a lot of nasty drunks. Also a lot of celebrities, athletes, etc. Only on Sunday although S.K.A.M. on Saturday and Relax on Monday are held in the same area they are much tamer parties.
3. Ditch Fridays (Palms) good crowd, fewer celebrities but sometimes the Playboy bunnies will hang out there. Only on Friday but can put you in a good mood to party for Friday night.
4. Day Dream (M Resort) is more for locals or for those on a budget. You can get a chair for $50 and a cabana will run $500 or less. Bottle service is half price of the strip hotels. Open Fridays to Mondays with a Saturday night recently added. If you don't have a lot of money but still want a pretty good party and don't mind being way off the main strip, this is it.
5. Liquid (Aria) is okay but sometime they have major DJs there. I would only go if there is someone you wanted to see like Tiesto, etc. They are open daily.
If you want more info on the pool parties and or on the celebrities and stars scheduled to be at the pool parties and clubs, the website below is the best source of information. The second link has a list of the celebrities scheduled at the pools or clubs.|||Planet Hollywood has a great pool atmosphere for your age group but then Wynn just opened a brand new one|||Mandalay Bay is my favorite pool because it has a real beach and wave pool. There are also concerts at the Mandalay Beach facility.
Otherwise I think these would be okay too:
Palms
Hard Rock
Aria|||Depends on exactly what you are looking for. If you want a real party, with cover charge, bottle service, etc, the places NoSEOPro mentioned are good.
If you just looking for a good pool, take a look at:
http://www.vegashotelpools.com
There is information, reviews, ratings and pictures from each pool along the strip.|||Planet Hollywood is a great choice for young people like yourselves. The atmosphere will set this August for a great weekend. The pool parties should be in effect, and bikini contests should be in full swing. The rooms are beautiful as well. Check out the links I've given you below and you can check out room information and pool information to see if it's the fit you're looking for.|||Flamingo, MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay are very good hotels with a lot of pool parties. These hotels have also good hotel promotions which you can find on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com|||If you're still looking for a place to stay, I suggest checking out the VisitLasVegas.com website.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can get coupons for the buffets in Las Vegas (WYNN< BELLAGIO< PARIS<PLANET HOLLYWOOD)? Or coupons for shopping places in Las vegas? Im aiming towards eating and shopping coupons?|||Vegas.com, or ask the concierge upon check in at the hotel they have something called a fun book. Also, if you have AAA at all the outlet malls the main office has discounts on all the stores!|||if you are going before the end of the month, i have a ton of extras... they expire 12.31.07 though...|||Most casinos have what called a "Fun Book".

Everyone knows who my now favorite player is (read Qs and screen name)|||Ya..kobe ,when he signed kobe8..|||Yea i got Joel Przybilla's autograph and he was my favorite player until last year.
Venetian, Bellagio, MGM, Planet Hollywood or any other
We also do nor want to be far out from everything either,,|||i would def say the venetian!!!its so romantic they have the gondolay rides. really nice restauraunts, especially tao which is a lounge, club, and restauraunt. The rooms are sooo nice and romantic. Its also a very relaxing hotel because it is expensive!!!def go there!!!|||Depends on you budget. MGM is cheaper than the others but on the south end of the strip. The train runs right behind it and you can travel up and down the strip with little cost. Of the other choices they are all central strip and very nice. Venetian and Bellagio are a little snobby for me. I like Ceasars or ...Flamingo....Flamingo is the best bang for your buck period, in my opinion.|||!!!LUXOR!!! ^_^|||The standard rooms at the MGM are a cut below the other hotels. It's also at the southern end of the main strip.
The standard rooms at Planet Hollywood are excellent. Incredible beds, and very luxurious.
--------------
Venetian and Bellagio are top of the line.
All of them are fairly close to the center.
|||it all depends on how much you want to spend per night.i have stayed at all of those hotels.bellagio by far is the best and is in center strip.venetians is pretty good too and all of the rooms are suites there.MGM is good and has lots to see an do in it and the regular rooms are slightly bigger than the normal hotel room.stay far away from planet hollywood.|||of course there is no answer as it's all very subjective (budget, amenities). by far the best bang for my buck has been THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay. Nice big rooms, two big closets, HUGE bathtub (omg). and the layout is spectacular. I have stayed at the Bellagio, Mirage, Luxor, and now THE Hotel (that's what it's called...THE Hotel), and for the value Mandalay Bay is by far the best. If money is no object, definitely stay at the Bellagio, you will not be disappointed if you have the cash for it. Otherwise, Mandalay Bay will be my choice going forward.|||All good hotels, but you may get better deal at Venetian with the new sister hotel just opening it may have some offers on and its a beautiful hotel.
My boyfriend and I are visiting NYC in the middle of May and we are trying to map out places to see and eat. Does anyone have any suggestions of good, inexpensive places to eat that aren't chain restaurants like Planet Hollywood or T.G.I. Fridays etc. ?
Also, if you have any suggestions of places to see while we're there--othere than the normal tourist spots it'll be appreciated!! Thanks!|||It depends on what you like.
For sushi, my favorite place is called "Go" on St. Marks Place between 3rd and 2nd aves. They're only open for dinner. It gets very busy on Fridays and weekend nights, so get there before 7 if you don't want to wait 30 minutes for a table.
Chinese: Joe's Shanghai on Pell Street. This is cafeteria style. If you're only two people, chances are you'll share a table with a bunch of strangers. Which can be fun. Rarely you'll get a table for two. Order the pork soup dumplings--it's a religious experience. Again, this is a very popular place (and cheap!) on Fridays and weekends. Get there before 6 p.m., or after 9:30 p.m. I last went with a group of eight-we were all fed for just under $90. The platters are big enough to feed three people, so you really only need 1 tray of dumplings and 1 or 2 entrees if it's just two people.
Ice cream: Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is on Bayard Street, two blocks from Joe's Shanghai. Don't be afraid to ask for samples. They are pricey, but it's so worth it.
Italian: I'm very picky about Italian food and most of the places in Little Italy are just so-so. I haven't found a place yet I like.
Enjoy your visit to NYC!|||I was just in NYC last month for a few days, had such a great time. I know it may seem a little "tourist-y", but the hop on/hop off tour buses are great! Not only do you get to see the entire city and surrounding areas, but you can use it as your transportation! It makes stops at the typical tourist spots, sets you up for great photo opportunities, and the guides are usually fill of information! (Some get a little annoying though, haha). But no, you can get off in Chinatown (I reccomend Grand Harmony and Chinatown Ice Cream Factory), down by the Statue of Liberty, several art Museums up towards Harlem, Macys for shopping, etc. etc. the list goes on.
My favorite part of the trip was seeing In the Heights, a Broadway show. I highly reccomend it, but if you don't have the money or time for that, make sure to see Central Park. When I was there, everything was dead and ugly but you'll be there when it's nicer and much prettier! Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller building is amazing, and although it's not as tall as the Empire State Building, .. you can include that building in the great photo opportunities up there!
Try Junior's for dessert, btw. They have the best cheesecake in the world, not to mention the largest slices .. ahah.
Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away. I hope you have a great time though, NYC is such a great city with SO MUCH to do.|||Dont be fooled. Places that are normally inexpensive in the real world are not so much in NYC. TGI Fridays prices are double if not triple the prices of suburban branches.
You can find average priced food in little italy.
As for sites to see i like Rockefeller center. Go to the top and you get a great view of central park. across the street is St Patricks Cathedral as well.
Also in times square there is a marriot hotel. Go in and go the atrium. You overlook times square and can get some drinks and some food. You dont need to be a guest either.|||Here are 130+ restaurants to try.
http://nycgo.com/restaurantweek
It is "restaurant week" so the restaurant are slashing their prices in hopes of bringing back old customers and drive in new ones.
You'll be able to sort by cuisine, location in NY or the restaurant name once you log on. A few even list a menu so you can see what they have to offer.
I have a friend getting married next month and the girls are going out for a weekend before her wedding to Las Vegas. We are staying in the Planet Hollywood hotel and we want to know some fun things to do while we are there. I saw on one site there was Stripper 101 class offered but I can not find that anymore. Any suggestions on fun things to do with a group of 6 women?|||Go to the Rio and see the Chippendales. You could rent a limo and ride the Strip first. Have a few drinks in the limo, stop at various casinos for the fun of getting in and out of the limo with a lot of people watching you, wondering who you are, if anybody, and end up at the Rio for the Chippendale show. Be sure to get up close and tell the guys that your friend is a bride to be.
Or do it in reverse, after playing in the afternoon, (shopping, slots, spa treatments) take a cab over to the Rio. Eat at the fabulous seafood buffet, (not the Carnival World buffet which is mediocre). See the Chippendales. Showtime is 8:00pm and cost is $39.95 and $49.95. Get the more expensive one cuz they are closer. Try to get in front row. Tell the guys who is the bride to be, or better yet, have her wear a tiara and veil. It'll be a blast. After the show, have the limo waiting for you. Be sure to stop asap at a liquor store and stock the limo and have the driver cruise the Strip for a couple of hours. You can stop at a couple casinos just for the fun of getting out and then back into the limo with a bunch of people watching, thinking you're celebs. Then finally have the limo drop you back at the Planet Hollywood Hotel.|||You have to do nitetours its crying out ofr you a friend of mine owns it, its a very good deal have a look

Were going on a trip to Vegas with a little girl. I know vegas isn't exactly the best place for young ones, but does anyone have any ideas on the nice family hotels with a nice pool and in a good area. I was looking at the hard rock, planet hollywood and MGM Grand. Any ideas? Thanks|||MGM Grand is the best choice of the hotels you're looking at, although its gargantuan size can be tiring for kids and the pools can be super-crowded. Forget the Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood.
http://www.mgmgrand.com/
Circus Circus and Excalibur are often mentioned as the Strip's most family-friendly hotels, and they're certainly cheap. But the pools aren't huge and Circus Circus is remote from the rest of the Strip. Excalibur has a convenient location, catty-corner from the MGM Grand.
http://www.excalibur.com/
http://www.circuscircus.com/
Alternatively, think outside the box and pick Mandalay Bay. Although it's at the south end of the Strip, a bit removed from the action, it has an awesome pool complex and it's a nice midrange hotel. (If you want more luxurious accommodations, stay at the Four Seasons boutique hotel inside M-Bay.) The Monte Carlo, next to CityCenter, is also a nicer hotel with a big, semi-shady pool area.
http://www.mandalaybay.com/
http://www.montecarlo.com/
If you want to stay off the Strip, Red Rock Resort (way out in suburban Summerlin) is fun for kids. To save money and be closer to the Strip, consider the Orleans (a reliable cheapie).
http://www.redrocklasvegas.com/
http://www.orleanscasino.com/|||Circus Circus is the best by far, they have a circus and midway INSIDE the hotel for pete's sake! It is near the end of the strip but the Duce (the bus) will send you down the strip for $7 for 24 hrs (or if you have a little more money, 5 or less can cab it, 6 or more have to 2 cab or limo).
The other end of the strip has The Excalibur that also has midway games and is a lot of fun, slightly more expensive but still very affordable (cheap even) and clean.
MGM might be a good place to stay if you stay in one of the condos, it will save you some money on food for sure by having a kitchenette right in your room. The thing is it's quite the hike to the pool. Excalibur is right across the street though for entertainment.
And there's tons of family-friendly stuff to do in Vegas!!|||Defiantly Circus Circus and during the summer months it is a little as $27.00 a night plus book 3 nights get one free.
They have Adventuredome (amusement park)
World Class circus acts and a Midway with Nickelodeon characters
Vegas is a steal right now.
They even have Dora's 3-D adventure|||MGM Grand is the best from your list IMO. It has a great pool area and the location is also fine I think. You can also get good room rates if you book your room with a promotion code, on http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com/categ鈥?/a> you will find the latest MGM Grand codes.|||Circus Circus. Las Vegas really isn't the place for young kids though. I'd go elsewhere where you and your family will enjoy themselves. If you do decide to go I'm sure you'll plan another trip without your daughter and will regret the money spent.|||Forget Hard Rock, that is not for kids in any way shape or form. Planet Hollywood appeals to a 20 something crowd. MGM Grand would be the best bet of the three you listed.
we recently purchased a timeshare at the Westgate Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV. I was contacted by Resort Equity Marketing sales rep. to list timeshare for rental. Does anyone have information on other companies that do this, experiences with renting timeshares in general, or any other advice. Thanks in advance for your help!|||Paying for advertising worked for me but you have to do your homework. First nobody is going to pay you top dollar for something on the resale market. Unless your timeshare is sold out and in very high dempand expect to get 50% less than what you paid for it. If you can realize this you have a good chance to sell your timeshare.
I did many searches to find the right resale company. I looked at many internet traffic ranking sites like ranking.com and alexa.com. These sites monitor internet traffic and can give you a good idea of how much traffic a timeshare resale website gets. obviously if you list with a company that gets little to no traffic who is going to see it. Its like posting ad ad on a tree in the middle of the woods.
When I sold my manhattan club I listed with http://www.buyatimeshare.com great company to deal with whenever I called I actually got to speak to someone which is nice in todays automated answering phone systems. They were always friendly and gave me great advice. While it cost more than $20 to $30 it was better than any other service I tried. I posted my timeshare on many of the free sites out there but never really got anything from them. Not to mention when I did get someone they were calling me direct instead of calling buyatimeshare which screens the offers for you.
Go to a search engine and search for keywords that you would search if you want to buy. Most people buying timeshares are searching the internet not going to a realtor.
I never rented my timeshare but I did rent from buyatimeshare a timeshare in las Vegas for $600 which was a great deal.|||To resale or rent a timeshare is a hard task, the basic rule is not to pay money up-front, don鈥檛 be another victim of a scam.
Unfortunately over 50% of people that really need to sale their timeshare falls for this resale scams where they charge money upfront and less than 10% of them use their only real option wich is to post it or offer it trough free advertising options as much and as many sites as you can (it is ok to pay a few dollars to post in a great place but no more that $20 to $30).
Timeshares do not have resale value and in most situations you would take a loss in what you paid for, as they resale for less than $1000 USD.

I have a timeshare at the Planet Hollywood Towers in Vegas that I would like to sell. Does anyone know of a service I can use to list it with. I tried Craigslist and Kijiji, but I think I need something more targeted.
Thanks,
David|||When you're selling your timeshare online you should still post it to Craigslist, Kijiji and other classified sites, but you also need to find a service that just deals with timeshares.
When I sold mine 3 months ago (sadly!), I used a service found at this website, http://www.webtelsolutions.org/selling-t…
After signing up for the appropriate service (depending if you live in Canada or the US), I was able to sell my timeshare in just over 2 weeks. Hopefully you will have the same success! Good luck.
Kevin|||Selling a timeshare is difficult. Claims of quick sales often do not come to pass because every timeshare is different.
But, the PH timeshares are relatively new, so you may have some luck but do not expect to get nearly as much as you paid for it. You may want to rent it out if possible to have a potential buyer get the sense of it. This is what timeshare companies do in order to make sales. Otherwise, your timeshare is simply a concept in the mind and people do not like buying major purchases simply from a concept.
I'd suggest redweek.com or tstoday.com. Both have subscriptions but if you want targetted, these sites (and the magazine for tstoday - Timesharing Today) are certainly that.|||If there is a mail box or a community bulletin board at your home resort, you can put a “For sale” sign. This will pressure the developer specially if they sell it for $20,000 USD and you offer it for $5,000. Sometimes on the fine print of some sale agreements says that the developer has the first right to buy if your place is ever sold. I have heard of developers paying the money (as long as is not too much) just to take the sign out.

New Yorkers, and people who have been to New York, which place should I go?
Here are the choices:
-The Hard Rock Cafe
-The was museum ( forgot the name, but it's close to Hard Rock)
-Ripleys Believe it or Not
-toys r us
-planet Hollywood (where the Disney stores are)
-ESPN
I'm a girl, and although I like to play them, I dont enjoy watching sports. I like snapping photos of things too.
Which should I choose? Why?
Pick 2 choices.|||you went all the way to New York just to go to Toys r Us?
there's one about a block from my house.
go visit the place where mobster Johnny Stash was brutally be-headed...i heard it's a cool spot.|||Toys R Us
Huge!!! 3 floors! Ferris Wheel! Cant even describe it!
Ripleys Believe It Or Not
Very cool experience|||definately the disney store its awesome and huge, see the monuments like the empire state building, statue of liberty,the Brooklyn Bridge, Saint Patricks Cathedral, Grand Central station, maby to the museum of natural history I love it(going again next month) go to Rockefeller center, the On top of the Rock building, Central Park.maby a broadway show. just walk up and down times square
oh sorry i forgot about the choices in the description
I just turned 21 and am planning on going to Las Vegas for the first time in March. What are some things to see out there for someone whos never been? What are the best places to stay? I've narrowed it down to Planet Hollywood, Bellagio, or Thehotel at Mandalay? Which of these would be best? Thanks|||As for the best place to stay out of the places that you have narrowed down to - I would suggest TheHotel at Mandalay bay since it tends to have a slightly younger crowd than Bellagio, less pricey for everyday stuff like eating and is still VERY nice and the rooms are superior compared to Planet Hollywood. Bellagio is a very close second, since the hotel is a little nicer and has nicer restaurants. Plus the pool at Mandalay Bay has a wave machine which creates large waves in the pool - that pool rocks!
Here are a few places and things I LOVE to do while in vegas:
1. Drink at clubs and lounges - RAIN (PALMS casino) and PURE (Caesar's Palace) are amongst the best two clubs with the best dance floors, decor, and setup. There is also Tao (Venetian) and Tangerine (Treasure Island) which havea a great atmosphere. Tabu (MGM Grand) and Rum Jungle (Mandalay Bay) are great lounges to just hang out in and drink at. Lastly, the Voodoo Lounge a top of the Rio is a GREAT bar with a breathtaking view of the city and vegas skyline.
2. If you're into rides, then the roller coaster at NEWYORK NEWYORK casino is the best roller coaster in Vegas. There is also the Big Shot and INSANITY rides atop of the Stratosphere Casino (with the best views in the city, as good as a helicopter view). There are also rides at Circus Circus and Sahara, but they are a little more for kids, but still fun.
3. Eat at buffets and other great restaurants. Buffets like Bellagio's or Wynn's have trancended the common buffet of stale food. They serve gourmet dishes like Kobe beef and hand made desserts. Great food, good service, clean and fun atmosphere. You'll definately enjoy this. There are also mediocre, but good deal buffets at Luxor, MGM Grand, and Monte Carlo.
4. Watch the sunrise by staying up all night and partying and then seeing the drunks and broke gamblers barely make it back to their hotel rooms in the early morning. It is the quietiest time in Vegas, and a little relaxing. You can really see how Vegas can ruin you for those that you see are completely distraught over losing - but its a good way to keep your sanity while you there.
5. Go swimming and treat yourself to a massage. This will be fun. When you get out of the pool, you can feel the heat radiating on your back and your feet will feel warmer than getting out of the pool anywhere else. It feels good, and then getting a massage later will be the perfect way to settle into a fun night. Something about swimming in the heat as the sun is going down in the Vegas desert is relaxing and calming. This will cost little to nothing.
6. You can shop at the FORUM in Caesar's Palace or the Passage at the Hollywood Planet Casino. They have the widest selection and the nicest shops. There is, of course, the Las Vegas Premium Outlets just off the strip that any taxi can take you to - good deals there!
7. You can watch the fountains at Bellagio, the Fremont Street Light Show in downtown, the SIRENS at Treasure Island (which is a fairly GOOD show that is FREE) and catch a Cirque Du Soleil show (such as KA at MGM Grand or 'O' at Bellagio - those are my favorite). Just enjoy yourself and have fun, dont plan out every little thing.|||i loveee mandalay bay, soo beautiful! we're going to have our big wedding there. lol well do you like to sight see? cause if so go to MGM see the lions, THE MIRAGE see the tigers, they even have a zoo in the back w/dolphins, my kids loved it. i think its called shark bay at Mandalay that was fun for me an my hubby. go to TREASURE ISLAND and watch the pirate show. the water light show at BELLAGIO the volcano... ask the hotel where you stay at if they have a list/ schedule of things and times. they should.theres so many things to do out there i love it! i never get tired of seeing the same stuff over an over. have fun!!!|||If i were you i would stay at THE HOTEL at Mandalay Bay. It is a very nice hotel i have stayed there twice this year so far once for my 21st and then a baccalaureate party. The rooms are very big we had at least 8 or 9 full grown adults in the room and still had a lot of space. I would definitely see all the casinos on the strip and planet Hollywood the Rio and the palms. I would not go to circus circus. But remember just Have as much fun as you can.|||Mandalay is really nice but i reckon if you want to get out and explore VEGAS Bellagio should be your choice its more centrally located. For things to see and do try the links below|||j'habite ici, et pour moi...le choix c'est simple...restez a Paris, Las Vegas.... on peut trouver quelque chose que vous voudriez aimer!!!! et ca y'est au centre du strip pour toutes les autres betes choses!!!! aussi j'aime la riviera parce que de temps en temps je suis pauvre,quelques fois, et j'ai besoin d'un chambre pour la nuit!!!!|||just turned 21? try the hardrock or the palms for the young set.|||I would stay at Planet Hollywood, it is fairly new, and in the middle of the strip, also has the mile mall attached to it. Bellagio is sort of across the street, so that wouldn't be bad either but the Bellagio is more expensive. Mandalay Bay is beautiful but it unfortunately is at the end of the strip and it is a very long walk to many of the other casinos. I made my first trip to Vegas last summer. I would suggest trying to go to all the casinos and walking around and playing at other casinos. We went to MGM and saw the lions, we went to Bellagio to see the gardens, we went to Caesars, NY NY, watched the fountains at the Bellagio, went over to Treasure Island to see the show, etc. There are also lots of clubs you can go check out too. It was a fun time and I can't wait to go back again.|||Since you are 21, you'll enjoy Planet Hollywood since there is a younger crowd there. Its across the street from the Bellagio and its an easy walk to a lot of other casinos and hot spots. The Bellagio is awesome, but it is more expensive and the crowd is older, but the clubs are rocking. Thehotel at Mandalay is also an older crowd, Mandalay Bay is awesome, but its at the end of the strip and you'll have to cab it around or take a bus or tram to Excalibur and walk. Planet Hollywood is more toward the center of the strip and its easier access. Any choices are great!
You need to see the Bellagio fountain show, the top of the Stratosphere tower at night, the sirens show at TI (its free),
the white tigers at the Mirage. Make sure you hit a buffet and a club for the ultimate Vegas experience!|||Yet another vote for Mandalay Bay the pool area is fantastic.Take the tram to four corners and hang out at New York New York and MGM Grand.If you want to take a break from the action you can hike at Valley of fire State Park about 45 minutes away. Go early and take plenty of water.|||I would choose the Bellagio. It's so beautiful. Another one I would stay at is Paris. Check out cheapovegas.com and it will give you the pros and cons of each place.
You can book your trip at ytbtravel.com/dreamersvacations.
We have ten guys going to Vegas and are looking for a huge suite to accommodate. So far, the best option we have found is the panoramic suite at Planet Hollywood. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Something less than around $500 per night. And anything with a pool table would be ideal.
Thanks.|||For what you want you would be better renting a house rather than a hotel room. Many vacation house rentals have pool tables so search for vacation house rentals in Las Vegas.|||The Platinum hotel is the best for what you want. Their Marquise suite is the best and not overpriced. Report Abuse
|||Any suite in Vegas for under $500 is only going to have ONE bed in it.
Even the biggest high-roller villas in Vegas only have 3-4 bedrooms, and then you are looking at literally 5 figures/night
You are much, much better off getting 5-10 regular rooms and maybe one moderate suite to hang out in.
With 10 guys, your panoramic suite at Planet Hollywood may look sleek and sexy when you walk in to it, but 48 hrs later it will look and feel like a cross between a locker room and a campsite. Is that really worth $500?
And it's going to be awfully hard to impress girls with a pool table when 4 guys are sleeping on it.|||To get such a deal, you will have to walk 2 blocks from the strip to Marriott's Grand Chateau. This is an apartment style hotel with all the amenities you will need. Separate living area, kitchen and room space for up to 5 people.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/marriott_鈥?/a>
Another option will be Las Vegas Marriott Suites separate living area with a sofa bed, wet bar, and a mini refrigerator. Also 2 blocks from the strip
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/marriott_鈥?/a>|||Hey that's expensive. try www.ooaha.com travel search. u will get it far cheaper.|||Check out the Hard Rock also they have some nice suites for large parties.|||check hotels.com for holiday apartments in resorts in las vegas or google it.
I can ONLY CHOOSE FROM THIS LIST. Please don't suggest other places, it's a field trip.
-Madam Tusso's Wax Museum
-Ripleys Believe It Or Not
-ESPN
-Toys R Us
-Planet Hollywood
-The Hard Rock Cafe
Where and WHY?|||Wax museums never fail to bore me. how many times can you say "wow it looks so lifelike" before you want to leap out a window?
espn?????
toys r us? the store?? a field trip to a store? that trip would be more fun for some kids than others. "my mom gave me $30 to shop".... "your mom gave you money???"
planet hollywood? never been there.
hard rock? cool place.... for people who like to rock.
Ripleys believe it or not would be my choice of those.|||...either Toys R Us [it's huge...there's a ferris wheel]
or the Wax Museum [I've never been, it just sounds interesting]
Don't Hard Rock..because it's basically eating an expensive burger, and they have them in every city, serving the exact same food.|||TOYS R US... they have a ferris wheel inside..
ooohhhhhhhh or the wax museum that is actually like the coolest museum ive ever been too. they like have a bunch of celebrities made out of wax and stuff and they look soo soo real|||ESPN. You can go to any of the others in any major city.|||McDonalds. Is big as F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I'm an experienced dancer, and I decided that I want to pursue a Vegas career in entertainment and performing. I do shows like Peep Show (the one at Planet Hollywood in Vegas with Holly Madison). So, they're fun, exciting, and definitely sexy.
Is there maybe a website that lists places that will have auditions or should there be specific people you contact? How do you get into the world of Vegas entertainment?
Thanks|||You must have talent.
www.lvrj.com lists many vegas related jobs in town.

Contact them by email and ask for audition dates etc. If they do not respond to email send in by regular mail.
Once you get in a show then you work hard, doing your best and keep your eyes open for better opportunities.|||You need to hire an agent because their are allot of people in Vegas trying to do the same thing you are. Good Luck
Most my friends are staying at Harrahs, but i was thinking Planet hollywood which was $685 for 3 nights and roundtrip tickets and harrahs was $765, which is better? also i was thinking about the MGM Grand which is right up in that alley|||Harrah's is older. PH is a recent remodel, it used to be Aladdin. PH and Paris has a younger party crowd. On the strip I would recommend Planet Hollywood or Paris. Off strip I would suggest Hard Rock, Psalms or Rio.
If this is your 1st trip to LV and if your friends have already reserved at Harrahs then stay at Harrah's and party at Paris, PH or anywhere on the strip. Explore the strip. You won't be able to see all of LV in one trip so don't try. Don't drink and drive. LV has a lot of public transportation.
Jaywalking is against the law and besides that it can be deadly.
Use a taxi, monorail or the Deuce(bus).
HAVE FUN and HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!|||What about the Hard Rock, that is the best hotel for fun down there! That is where I would stay.|||harrahs is older but right in the middle of the action. I think Planet Hollywood is nicer though and MGM Grand is the newest and nicest of the 3. In addition MGM Grand is the largest hotel in Vegas.
mgm also has a monorail that takes you the few blocks to the center of all activity. Plus it's right across the street from Luxor (pyramid) Excalibur (castle) New York New York. I would choose the MGM. Make sure you visit Hard Rock hotel if you want a good chance of seeing celebrities too. Have fun. Don't gamble away your college fund|||ANY OF THEM.
Hard rock and Palms have the youngest crowds, but they are not on the strip. Anywhere you go you will see younger people partying so just pick whatever hotel looks the best to you, and gets you the best rate.|||I personally like the Mirage. I will shop around some more, look for promo codes http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.h鈥?/a> to get the maximum discount. Check Southwest Airlines Vacation, Travelocity, or Priceline.com|||Harrah's will have a bit of an older crowd than 21 year olds. The best place for you would be Hard Rock or the Palms. I don't know all that much about Planet Hollywood, but its location is really good. I do believe it gets a younger crowd than Harrah's would.|||Check out www.lasvegasnow.com for all kinds of links.
I would suggest if not the MGM Grand, then across the street at Luxor which has two fantastic night clubs, is next to Mandalay Bay with at least one or more.
Right now you would find the best prices surprisingly at Palazzo!|||Stay with your friends. Having fun is less about where you stay than what you want to do. You won't have fun if you are all separated. And it's a long walk between thing to meet up. So get together as a group and make a decision that works for all of you.|||then your gonna want to stay at the palms... but what does it matter trust get the cheapest room you can find and then go out and party hard... you will never see your room anyways|||The Palms seems to have a youthful group of guest.|||Since Planet Hollywood has been remodelled, I would stay there and get the lower price. The MGM is far away from Harrah's and should not be walked.|||I've been hearing really good things about Planet Hollywood lately and Harrahs is pretty cool, but not quite as new and definitely not as much buzz.
Planet Hollywood at 3 Nights (if that includes weekdays) with RoundTrip at $685 is pretty good, but you can find a better deal if you keep looking. There are a TON of Vegas websites out there with promo codes and such, make sure you book online. MGM sometimes has codes listed directly on their website for their hotels (a bunch), and I remember seeing a Planet Hollywood deal on their website too last time I checked (a few days ago actually.
I'm going in June actually with some friends and found a pretty sweet deal on http://www.allvegasdeals.com for the MGM mirage (don't see the deal I got there any more, but the MGM Grand is really good too I went last year and its a kick *** hotel although the tables are sort of high stakes).
Check around some of the deal websites on Planet Hollywood for sure though, I think its a better hotel then Harrahs. I see a ton of vegas hotel deals on Google too, so worth checking that out too. Also check out Southwest they have some killer summer fares. I got a my tickets for like $285 after taxes. I figure any money I save is more money to gamble and buy drinks with lol. Have fun man, I can't wait for Vegas either.|||HI! try for a good price http://riveraramos.vacationmedia.net/ every week you see a good special.|||Harrah's is a dumpy old place full of old people. Go for Planet Hollywood, it is all newly remodeled with bars and nightclubs where young people hang out.
I'm seeing PEEPSHOW in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood and was wondering if anyone knows where the actors exit? I have never been to that theatre and am lost.
Any help would be great!
Thanks so much!

I'm going to Vegas for the first time this weekend (staying at Planet Hollywood), and I was wondering what the table minimums are for blackjack and Texas Hold'em tables. I've been playing poker for a while now, but only online and with friends. Is there a certain etiquette about tables in Vegas or are there unwritten rules about things like this?
I don't really have a big budget and I'm not looking to go crazy gambling, but I do want to do some. Any advice would be appreciated.|||During the week the table minimums will be $10 and at night and on the weekends they will be $15. You can gamble cheaply at O'Sheas though if you are looking for the cheapest limits.
To save some money while you are there check out http://lasvegasforcheap.com/deals - They have great Vegas tips, deals, and advice.
Most poker rooms in Vegas offer 2 4 limit and 1 2 no limit games and for starting out I would suggest that.
Planet Hollywood's poker area is ok, but I would suggest MGM or Aria because they always have lots of tables going and usually a few fish.
Blackjack Etiquette:
1. Follow standard rules of blackjack even if its the last of your money (people will get mad if you don't)
2. Place money on the table (dealer cannot accept money from your hand
3. Tip the dealer at least a little bit even if you lose
Poker Etiquette:
1. Don't fold your cards face up (unless you are the last to fold)
2. Don't act out of turn
3. Do not leave for more than 2 rounds around the table
4. Cover your cards with a chip or a weight so they won't be mucked accidentally
5. Don't ask to see players cards when they muck (they usually get mad)|||I actually just got back from my first vegas trip and was wondering the same thing going out. I'm an avid online poker player and actually host my own tips and strategy website at http://bestbonuspokersites.com but never played at a casino before vegas. We stayed at the Luxor hotel and let me tell you, it is absolutely amazing. As far as the table games go, ask questions. We asked tons and everyone was very helpful. They will go over verbal and silent betting procedures, as well as various betting practices and everything with you. Best part is that vegas never sleeps so you can go when the casino is a little slower (mid-early a.m. about 3 - 6 a.m.) first time til you get the hang of it and come back at peak hours and impress everyone with your confidence. Be sure to read my tips about playing at brick and mortar tables (real casino vs. online) or pick up a strategy guide from my store. Good luck and hope to hear of your tales, but then again, what happens in vegas stays in vegas!!!|||Depends on where you are playing. The big places (Venetian, Bellagio, Aria, MGM, etc)occasionally have $10 minimums on blackjack and craps, but there are usually $15-$20. Hold em poker tables will start at $1-2 blinds and go up.
Smaller places will have cheaper tables and can be just as fun, but they are usually filled with vagrants and what not, still fun if you get liquored up|||Forget playing blackjack at Planet Hollywood. The minimums start at $10, but are usually higher. And it's the dreaded 6:5. I like to play blackjack downtown. El Cortez is great for blackjack and you can sometimes find $3 minimums. And it's still 3:2.
Sorry, can't help you with poker as I don't play it. But again, I would look downtown as opposed to the strip.|||Depends on the casino. Different casinos has different table limits. But mostly casinos offers $10-$20. Some ask for more like 50 also. So it depends on the casino you are going to. For the table limit of online casinos you can check out the link at the footnote.|||The minimum is usually $5 or $10 in the day and $10 up at night. But the buy-in varies.
We want to stay in a 4 star or above hotel. (Bellagio, Vinetian, MGM, Mirage, Planet Hollywood). I personally would love to stay at the bellagio, but my main concern is how big is the room( since we are 3 adults)
any suggestions?|||Get a suite at the Bellagio or stay at the Venetian or Wynn. You can't go wrong with any of those hotels.|||Good idea to check them out on Trip Advisor so you get the most recent feedback. Some people post recent room photos too. Useful site.
I use it a lot to plan group trips.|||ive never been inside the rooms, but mgm and mirage are very nice hotels|||The Venetian are all suites. The rooms are large and there would be no problem with three adults. They even have a pull out sofa bed. Actually the Palazzo would be the best choice.|||Out of the hotels listed MGM has the largest standard rooms, Planet hollywood has the smallest although the sq footage looks good the bathrooms are very big. You wioll be fine in Bellagio and Veneitian though Bellagio is the nicer property. the link below gives you links to the best possible rates directly with the hotels, these can be cancelled with no penalty if your plans change and you only pay the first night as a deposit. Oh one thing have a look at Mandalay bay they have a friends and family rate that they have released to the public this gives you 2 nights for the price of 1 and you may be able to get a suite for the price of a room at the other hotels, Mandalay is nicer than MGM and PH abnd on a par wwith Venetian. http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008鈥?/a>

But there's no way you can even think about those at your price range. You aren't obviously going to be able to afford any of the nice places. I would price TI, Rio, Monte Carlo, Flamingo, Luxor, Hilton, Ballys, & Harrah's just to see if there's a way to make it work. But in your price range you might be stuck with Circus Circus, Excalibur, Planet Hollywood, Riviera, Sahara, & Tropicana. If there is still nothing in your range, try Westin or the Goldcoast.|||Well you def. aren't going to have much fun with that budget. Well don't gamble, buy any souvenirs, good drinks or expensive food and find a nice motel 6 in crack town...that should do it.|||Try the Venetian. They do not even have hotel rooms only suites. They are quite beautiful and very impressive. You should be able to get in within your budget.
No hotel has a better location right in the middle of the Strip. You won't be disappointed. Trust me, I go to Las Vegas a lot.

whats the best hotel in vegas to stay at? i'll be 23 when i go to vegas and was wondering what the best hotel for younger people to go to is?
of course due to the hangover i was thinking ceasers but a friend thinks planet Hollywood is better
IMO what's the best place to stay?|||Definitely Planet Hollywood. It's a much younger crowd, the bands are awesome, there's half naked girls dancing at night, and one of the best locations on the entire strip.
If you're heading down there, save some money by booking at http://www.mycheapvegas.com
Cheers!|||This is a place where you can do anything, go exotic or extreme, all in one gulp," says Monti Rock III, a show biz columnist for a Vegas weekly. You will be spoilt for choices when it comes to accommodation in Vegas. Staying in the Strip is the best bet for you. If you want to walk around it will be easier for you to explore but there are hop on hop off buses as well as a monorail that goes around the Strip.
I found some really good accommodation options in this trip plan on Vegas:

Since you asked for specific hotels for young adults, I suggest you stay at either Hard Rock Hotel and Casino or Palms Casino Hotel. Luxor, Planet Hollywood, Mirage and Mandalay Bay are some of the other options.|||LMAO it is NOT the venetian or bellago! If you were 35 up and then yes but for your age go to the Palms, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock hotel, MGM Grand would be my picks! If i were you i would pick Planet Hollywood, its easier to meet people and have a good time there with people your age. The casino is nice and there is plenty of shopping! It has a great setting being right in the middle of the strip. The rooms are hip/stylish and the crowd is trendy! Go there!|||i agree with ivgeno, planet hollywood on the strip and hard rock or palms off the strip. the hard rock and palms are more of summer spots because of their pools but still filled with a younger crowd than the bellagio or venetian year-round|||On the strip I would suggest Planet Hollywood and off the strip Hard Rock or Palms.|||Planet Hollywood would probably appeal to your age group the best, Or New York New York. Planet Hollywood is just sooo sexy if you ask me.|||Cosmopolitan
i think it's a vegas hotel because
every time i see the commercial :))|||excalibur. forreal, dude. it's awesome.|||Venetian. ;]|||Bolagio.Or however you spell it.|||Belagio is awesome! They have this water show and its pretty tight.|||try search on google
By inexpensive i mean on a young adults budget (17-18). We are try to go out for a farewell dinner, n i was looking in to planet Hollywood but then read some really bad reviews, also BBQ but i wanted to try someplace new but were the food is still good
Seafood is out|||A really good place to go for a nice dinner in my opinion is Carmines. It is a more italian style restaurant but they sell everything from Chicken Parm, penne vodka, to sausage and meatballs. I recently went for my birthday and since the restaurant is family style (you order a few plates and everyone shares) it can be as cheap or as expensive as you would like depending on how much food you order. I had 8 people at my birthday and since we are all young we were on a budget as well. We ordered 3 dishes (they are about $15 - $25 a piece) as well as an order of garlic bread and we had a lot of leftovers and everyone was well fed at the end of the night. It ended up being about $18 a person and everyone paid for my meal. So for 7 people it would have been about $15 if they didn't pay for me for my birthday. It is definitely a good place to eat and you still get the feel of a nice fancy restaurant. However, I would recommend making a reservation at least a week or too (the sooner the better) in advance since it is a very popular place to go in the city.

Restaurants
In regards to place to eat in New York City. There are thousands of the restaurants in the Five Boroughs of New York City. Depending on your taste, your budget and your preferred location, may I recommend the links below.
http://www.urbanspoon.com/c/3/New-York-r鈥?/a> -- Urbanspoon. You can find restaurants either by price, location or cuisine.
http://www.ny.com/dining/ -- NY.com. You can find plenty of restaurant information at this link. Everything from H&H Bagel to fine dining at Le Cirque. Bon appetit!|||Velvrevoler1 I like stuff like Italian (pretty much any kind of pasta!) Report Abuse
|||Jekyll & Hyde restaurant. I went last year and loved it.
Also, this place at the top of a Marriot, it rotates, I can't remember the name, but most people in the city would know.
Definetly go to Mars 2112 to eat.
Also might want to try leaving the city for a day and going to Jones Beach, its about a half hour away.
Bay Village is always nice.
If you don't like the smell of fish, avoid Chinatown.
Do rowboating in Central Park.
If your into musicals/plays you might want to see one on broadway, sorry, i don't have any reccomendations since I'm not a fan of them.|||Manhattan has good food everywhere. You have to check out if its Zagat rated, but besides that you can find a good spot almost everywhere. Im not sure what you are looking for exactly, but sure they have your taste.
Last year we stayed on the 52nd floor @ Mandalay Bay and the suite was awesome. Just wondering if there is anywhere that would compare or beat that level of quality at that price. The panorama suites at Planet Hollywood look pretty nice. Any first hand experience and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.|||Specifically is what you asked right?...Have you been to The hotel which is right next to Mandalay Bay? (also owned by them) I have stayed at the V suite (741 sqft) and it was around $600 a night. Me and my wife loved it! Depends on what your tastes are. the Hotel is very contemporary and modern decor which I prefer.
You can probably get into an H suite for $600-800 if you go on a weekday (depends on which day) which is 1674 sqft. I have been there with 15 friends for a bachelor party and it was a blast. Huge...size of a mid sized home with all the trimmings.
Hope that helps~|||Damn, Are you rich? Just go to hotels.com.|||MGM Skylofts if I coudl afford it that is where I would stay |||try Belagio, Wynn, or Venetian. Cant go wrong with Cesar's or MGM grand either.|||Try the Bellagio or the Mirage. |||The showboat! Fremont- boulder highway, Yeah da boat!|||I would reccomend the Wynn or the Palazzo!
You can get a great rate at http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/
have fun!|||Oh yes Venetian and Palazzo have views for that price or less. Wynn also has views in that price range. |||Room rates in Vegas are not like other cities - the cost of rooms has a lot more to do with supply and demand than it does with the size and quality of the room, and the room rates can vary by a huge amount based simply on what night you want it.
For example: at Bellagio on New Year's Eve a standard room is $699, but if you go two weeks before New Year's you can get a standard room for $149, or a Penthouse Suite for only $359.
Your question would be a lot easier to answer if you had specific dates in mind or just generally asked "WHEN can I get a nice suite in Vegas for around $600?"
I'm in phoenix and I've been to spaghetti factory, rainforest cafe, and carlos obriens and planet hollywood and cheesecake factory. Any suggestions where else?|||Carolina's Mexican Restaurant is excellent and inexpensive: http://www.carolinasmex.com/ Another good choice would be St Francis: http://www.stfrancisaz.com/|||I suggest that you drive or take the light rail to Tempe and walk down Mill Street. Adjacent to the Arizona State University campus, there are MANY fun and good restaurants on Mill and on the streets crossing Mill. Appealing to college students, the food is good, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is fun,
Here is an interactive list and map:

Ave just west of the intersection in Glendale,Az. they are very affordable to everyone?|||You should try Alice Cooper's restaurant too and what about either Heart Attack Grill or the Grill Next Door?|||5 Guys, Marleje's|||mcdonalds|||bill johnson's big apple
