Staying at the Trump International for the first three days, then here for the rest of the week: http://2810vegasestate.com/ Oh yeah baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Trump is the only casino in Vegas without any Casino isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Trump is the only casino in Vegas without any Casino isn't it ? No idea tbh. It doesn't really matter though, as I'm not into gambling. I will have an hour or two in a casino though for the experience, and don't imagine it'll be hard to find one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah I'm sure you won't need to look far I'm the same as you with gambling , not that fussed , but it's fun to chuck a few Yankee $'s as you wander about Try and see the Hoover dam if you get time , get a great view by helicopter and a flight down the strip as you come back as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a heli flight to the Grand Canyon on my Wedding day, all suited and booted like, the photos are great - very happy memories of my family and in-laws looking very sketchy at these little choppers Anywho, do it, it's about £300 each, which is very pricey (was for us lot anyway), but we managed to fill 2 choppers and have a champagne picnic in the grand canyon, flying over boulder city, hoover dam etc - it's awesome and well worth the money I think. 1 tip - try and get the latest flight OUT to the Grand Canyon. I say this because it's not that late, about 2:30/3:00pm, but by the time you get back into Vegas, it'll be dark, and Vegas is WAAAAAY better looking at night. We went on the earlier trip, came back at dusk and whilst it's still amazing, I think it would have been absolutely awesome coming back in seeing a tiny jewel in the desert from afar. Very jealous of you, have a great trip! Good luck an'all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I booked mine with viator here in the uk ... Flew over the dam over the sky bridge and then landed at the bottom for a picnic ... They over a few different packages on the web site in terms of chopper trips , will give you some ideas Have them all my hotel details etc and booking ... Checked into the hotel and went out , came back later and they had left me a message confirming pickup time etc sent a limo at the agreed time to pick us up ... Was good service all in all Make sure it flys from McCarran as some of them helicopter flights fly out of Boulder and that's a bit of a drive away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Bloody love Vegas, and I'm not a gambler at all. Honestly, if anyone's going with the wife or GF, you can do it for so little money it's unbelievable. Stay in the Four Queens on Fremont. It's rubbish, but it's like $27 a room per night and, let's be honest, how much time are you going to be spending in your hotel room? It also doesn't have "holiday tax" on check out. Then allot a couple of days for whoring the timeshare meetings. Rock up to them, sit and listen, shoot down the salesguy, pick up your free tickets, lunches, dinners and whatever and then shoot on to the next meeting. Do that and you'll, quite literally, be able to do Vegas for a week on about $50 a day combined. It's insane. No need to pay for anything there, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Limos to and from McCarran airport. No booze in the limos though booo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I am going to do exactly that I think, can't wait! 25C over there at the moment apparently. I don't think it's got as hot as that once in the last five years in the Isle of Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 i didnt play any tables but i did have a play on some of the stuff that i hadnt seen here, the slot machines mainly, $10 a day or something daft, think me and the GF made that last 15 minutes, a woman sat next to us must have put about $300 in her machine during the same time (she got a free drink we didnt ) i collected $1 chips from all the casinos and now have a photo display with the casino and chips at home, i think its well smart, got a lot of funny looks asking for the chips though, Venetian flicked through and gave me a shit one the bastards, the croupier at MGM loved it and gave me a metal one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I bought a $1,000,000 one in a souvenir shop (for $5 ) .... never know one day I might find somewhere to cash it Edited February 12, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reception was in the Venetian, we sat in a room awesomely decorated, over looking the square Absolutely treated like kings and queens. If I could go back to one day in my life..
