Morls you getting excited yet :cow Yeah Tipper i am, always excited bout Vegas, and Brian, Tipper is right, Imperial Palace may not be as glitzy as the bellagio and wynn, but its dead centre of the strip, great card room and opposite the fashion show mall for the Mrs! We gotta get more Punters along too, i have a spare double bed in my room, as the room is a twin queen, so if anyone wants to chip in and save themselves some money at the same time, just gis a shout. Also....my birthday is 16th November...so it will be a great excuse for a vegas party!:beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6ooner Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Vegas 2006 Beer is probably the one thing not to go for. We're going in December otherwise wouldn't have minded going in November (my birthday too). But when we were booking the flight prices were really getting high. We managed to get Virgin direct from Gatwick but that was more luck than judgement they went up from about 360 to 550 pretty much overnight, there were flights for less but they're not direct and take around 16 hrs (with upto 4 hrs wait for the changeover) getting there late at night and leaving early in the morning. If you get a flight don't forget to take the travel times into account because you could end up losing a couple of days withou realising it.

I love it how these belgians everytime we mention beer have a slant on how lovely their beer is. As you found out in paris mate I dont care as long as it is warm and wet and dont forget I have the added bonus of having shiny wardrobes.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ooner Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Vegas 2006 Mate, I'm not promoting Belgian beer but the American stuff is pretty vile, if it's wet and gets you pissed it'll do, but over there it's just wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philossify Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Re: Vegas 2006 For a slightly better American beer (infinitely better than Bud - "the official world cup beer" :rollin )- try the Monte Carlo which has its' own brewery and serves pints (suspect they might be American 16oz pints though).
