OK this was our 5th year in a row to Vegas, me and my fiancee cant get enough of it.
Day 1
Flights with Virgin go smoothly as usual no delays, arrive around 3pm check into MGM have a view that over looks HOOTERS ( Dom and Andy would be proud ) MGM rooms are looking a bit dated now but we still enjoy staying there, booked in for 5 nights. Bit tired after long flight so have quick shower and then out for dinner, ESPN bar for dinner really good prices and good food( Chicken and Ribs quality) and lots of it, Early night in bed by 11am.
Day 2
Spend a day round the pool catching the Rays, out for dinner around 8pm and we book the Fix restaurant at Bellagios love the food here and atmosphere. Check out the shops at Bellagios then head to see the fountains outside could spend hours just watching it, Taxi back to MGM fancy some roulette Win $50 then call it a night.
Day 3
Buffet breakfast which is around $17 each and fills us up until dinner time, more time around the pool bit busier today as its Friday. As was my fiancees birthday i had booked to see Elton John at Caesars palace very good show and very funny, Dinner at Il Mulino in forum shops a nice little Italian Restaurant we like, then Taxi back to MGM and bed time.
Day 4
Family wedding today so catch some rays around the pool then all get dressed and ready for the wedding, as 6 of us 1 taxi cant take all of us, so they offer us a limo for $65 which is for the hour, Wedding goes smoothly limo picks us back up and drops us back at MGM for another $65. All grab something to eat at the mgm Cafe, some more roulettee win another $50 then call it a night.
Day 5
Buffet breakfast at the MGM then around the pool again,pool area t the MGM is very big and clean their is 4 pools and a lazy river. BBQ at fiancees cousins house which is around 15 minutes away from the MGM another limo, order a limo to picks us up in the evening and request for a quick drop off at MGM to change clothes and then take us to Fremont street, it takes just an hour so we decide to pay driver $80 with a nice little tip, he wants $105 which he says its time and half if you leave local area? we argue the fact its $65 for the hour and im quite confident as when i booked the limo on the phone they told me the $65 for the hour info, so some of our party want to pay the guy what he wants, but i was having none of it, I ask him to phone the office and they agree with me, he apologises and makes some excuse about they keep changing he rules, anyway i tell him he is lucky he got that tip. Dinner at Binnions steak house which is always lovely steak cooked perfectly. Watch th Fremont st experience and some local acts, i love Fremont st as their always seems to be someting going on, and the atmosphere is terrific. Taxi back to MGM.
Day 6
Check out at the MGM and taxi to the Wynn we stayed here last year when we got engaged and it really is a luxurious. Arrive around 1pm and no rooms ready as we are early, they take all details and give us pool passes and arrange to contact us when rooms are ready. Pool around the Wynn is excellent with free bottled water all day long, Check into rooms at around 4pm
we have the 56th floor which overlooks the strip and you can see almost every hotel on the strip from Treasure island to Mandalay Bay.For Dinner we head to he new Palazzo hotel and dine at the new Grand Lux cafe.
