Where are you staying?
 

Where is everyone planning on staying?

And what nights are you going?

We're going Tues & Wed.

Debating Flamingo & Imperial Palace.

Uh, I marked Flamingo - does that help you make up your mind? :lol: Why do you want the Imperial again?

I think the Flamingo. A lot depends on how much my friend is willing to spend.

Going to the show on Friday. Will probably get there on Wednesday and stay three nights.

The Aladdin May 10 and 11, Bally's May 12 (they had a special price for the 12th and I couldn't resist!)

I was going to stay at the Flamingo but I am staying 7 nights and it was just too much money. I found a cheaper hotel almost right next door.

Would accomodation be hard to find in Las Vegas during May? I'm tossing up whether or not to buy tickets for myself for a few shows (will anyone else be going on their own or do most people no others from this forum? :shrug: ) and then worrying about flights + accomodation in 3 weeks time when i fly to Vancouver from Australia (i'm currently in Australia and am heading to Vancouver to live for a year on a work visa).

Do i just buy the tickets now and worry about accomodation & return flight (from Vancouver to Las Vegas) in a month's time? Is it too risky? Will the shows sell out quickly? Any previous visitors to Las Vegas who can offer some advice? Help! :eek:

Brett :D

It seems like you should worry about your accomodations, but not your flight so much. :shrug: Some hotels don't hardly have any rooms available for may right now, I think. Depending on where you want to stay, of course.

If you want to get a cheaper flight you might want to make sure that you book about 21 days before your travel date. I am not sure how fast Vegas fills up in May but the $ might go up if you wait. I would check around the different hotel websites and see who has what deals. The hotels usually will charge the first night's room and tax amount to your credit card right then and there when you book. It is refundable if you cancel within either 78 or 48 hours before arrival date mosrt of the time .Make sure that you check the hotel's cancelletion policy before you book just to make sure.

I just booked my trip now.....heading to the Flamingo....with a limo ride there too ;) surprise for my g/f.

I was thinking about staying at Circus Circus or The Stratosphere. :p

Circus Circus looks like fun. It is just way up on the strip. Have you ever been there? I am going to check the casino out when I go to Vegas.

I was joking. :laugh: I've never been in Circus Circus and The Stratosphere is basically this big cement looking deal. It does have a roller coaster on the roof.
Circus Circus has the rotating bar that Hunter Thompson talked about in his book, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. However, I understand that it is only open on the weekends now and serves only juice. :lol:
There is one casino downtown that had the strangest smell to it. :distress: It was a dump. I was going to say I was staying there but I couldn't think of the name of it. :laugh:

That rocks, Alex! What a nice boy you are.... :p

Circus Circus is not bad, but you have to stay in the main tower. The motel in back is trash. My best friend was up $3000 in roulette there, so it can't be all bad, lol!
Stratosphere is actually pretty nice according to my brother. Of course, you are 100 miles away from everything :p

This is true, but there is a metro station at the Sahara (next closest hotel to the statosphere) and that will take you straight to Ceasar's. The metro works great (now).
