Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

That Elara room looks lovely, mind changed again, will 99% go for some of that!  Bellagio room looks pretty pokey in comparison

edit: I've done it, one bed Elara suite, thank you again, finally sorted.  Just the car to go!

[Simon Galloway]

Yup thats a very good price for 1BDR, I'd snap book that imo.  Dunno if they have a separate pool area or not and I dunno if you will still get charged a resort fee on check in, but for 2 nights and those prices, just book it up

Oioiiiiiiiiiiiiii Silo. That Elara looks sick, incred price!! Can take the N!T out of the N!T thread, but you can't...

Lots of photos please mate, looking forward to the trip report.

Simon can probably confirm, but I believe that the Elara is situated just off the back end of the Miracle Mile shoppes and is completely separate to the casino.

Pleasure Pit is avoidable by any means I think, plenty of child friendly food options too.. The only thing that I know to be bad is the pool unlike the Bellagio, which as Simon said has a really great pool area with huge amounts of space and lots of pools too.

[Simon Galloway]

Yea you won't get the ding-ding of slots, can park in Miracle Mile valet and slide in without touching the casino.  Not sure if they share pools with PH or have their own quieter one.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, TR here ofc!

[Graham C]

Will take hundreds of photos hopefully, will post a couple here for y'all and let you know how we get on

The only ones I see for under £600 leave on a Monday and come back on a Friday - others are £700-800

Going out 21st June and coming back 5th July (Both Friday) is £590 which I paid £800 for last month...

Just had a check and you can fly out any day from 21-30th June (Exc 22/23), coming back in the first week of July for under 600.

It looks like youu can also fly out on a fair few days earlier in June at a cheap price, and the price coming back is always around £230 on any day.

Probably the lame-ist question you have had on this thread...

'I am going for 6 days as of Friday 26th April, just wondered what i should pack? is it too cold in poker rooms and should i pack plenty of jeans? i'm hoping it will be hot so i will be busting out the shorts when not playing poker'

Just an idea of what to take would be great

[Tal]

It is much warmer than it is here...but only outside.

Inside, because all Americans are 75 stone munchbots, the air conditioning is set to "antarctic juxtaposition", so people tend to take layers: hoodie/jumper/thin jacket over an outdoors top.

I'm quite a cold person tbf (in at least one sense). Others might disagree.

I have happily worn jeans for two weeks in June, albeit with relatively little sunbathing.

You are going right at the end of April, so the May #'s are more accurate.  It is going to be somewhere between very pleasant and starting to get pretty hot.  Shorts and Tshirt weather all day for sure.  Shorts and Tshirt into the evening won't be a problem either, but jeans and a shirt will also be fine.

The card rooms do blow pretty cold air con, I don't really notice it but others obv do as plenty are wearing a track top / hoody etc.

[Young_gun]

Cheers Guys, i best bring a few hoodies then as the i always seem to be freezing at work when others aren't

I can handle the heat dw, love it so will defo be outside a bit too

Really cant wait now 11 days! oioioi
