Vegas Question

[Girgy85]

I wouldnt recommend Orleans. Whilst there is an older crowd there they won't be able to have a mooch around without faffing with taxis all the time, not ideal for a couple of old birds. Flamingo, harrahs, ballys is deffo older crowd too..

She may be knocking on 60 but she can walk you know.

Nobody going to walk from Orleans mate

LOL - walking from Orleans to Strip is like 3 miles and would take an hour.

Fair point i didnt wanna stay off strip anyway. Doubt she'd wanna mingle with any coffin dodgers anyway. Shes knocking on 60 but shes not that old.

She is spot on age for how I'm defining older crowd. 40-70 is the majority age range at those suggestions I've given. Of course she may want to hang with the cool kids at the hard rock cafe instead........

Someone on here recommended http://smartervegas.com/ to me. Very useful for hotel stuff - stick in your dates and it comes up with all the offers that are valid for that date. You'll probably get almost nothing for next December, but they'll start arriving 9-6 months in advance. I'm doing Mirage with 3 mates in March, and found the rate there, although its cancellable, so if anything better comes up before then, might change. Good rates for Mirage though I think, and it's a very good mid strip location.

I think that's a really sick birthday present actually girgy. How long you going for? and when?

a friend of mine flew his parents out there a while back for there 40th wedding anniversary and I remember him saying he put them up at harrahs (although it might have been paris, but still the same sort of thing) but either way I remember bumping into them a few months after and they said the hotel was PERFECT and they loved it.

Taking Mama G to Vegas next December for her 60th. Shes taking a friend and was wondering if its better/cheaper to get a suite with 2 bedrooms or to get 2 seperate rooms?

Also which hotels have the best/cheap-mid budget suites?

You need to check if that clashes with the National Rodeo Finals which is usually in mid dec. If so hotels will be busier/more expensive than normal as town is really busy that week with all the cowboys in town, so get your hotel booked as soon as you find a good deal, don't hang about. I know it sounds fairly lol, but I've been in town at that time before and its pretty busy.

it was late Nov when I was there, and I have to say its amazing to see them in town - worth being there when they are! Pretty sure they sleep in their hats!

I was sat at a poker table where I was the only non cowboy, there was 8 stetsons and me    Wish I got a pic of that.

I agree though a fun week to be in town

We got chatting to a champion rider in a club (they have names and titles emboidered in their jackets). His name was Jason Jetter, and my friend enquired what he did

"Im a bull rider" in thick Texan accent

my mate falls about laughing, im apologising whilst picking him off the floor

"whats wrong with you" i enquire

he eventually manages to get out that the French verb Jette is to throw or be thrown! Lol  - i laughed, our texan friend just left

Jason Jeter is one of the best bareback rodeo riders around.  But I reckon you'd be hard pressed to explain the French connection in a way he'd understand.

thanks laxie

we got the impression he was a big deal just by the fact that people were interested in us because we spoke to him. 

I guess it was an "in the moment gag" but it was pretty funny. And yeah, he was wooshed in a way i could never descirbe. I guess no one likes being randomly laughed at. Fair play to him, he wasnt rude or anything, and we got the impression he was a "big deal", he just ended our chat swiftly!

MGM Grand is a nice hotel for non gamblers. Theatres and restraunts on the property as well as lions. Also has a small poker room.

If you consider 22 tables small

The one & only Jason Jetter, who's a pretty laid back guy, it seems.....
