Does anyone have a link for the trip they booked for the Grand Canyon?
The more I look the more my mind boggles, thought it may be easier to go with a recommendation.

We used [website link edited] for our trip. There are others, we've heard that www.papillon.com are good too...

A nice place to eat is the Brewery in the Monte Carlo, definitely take in a couple of the Bellagio Fountain shows. All of the hotels are worth a walk through, but in particular Bellagio are Venetian nice - with the Venetian if you go to the canal/shopping area just remember that you are on the first floor above the casino!

We have enjoyed Penn & Teller at Rio, never done any of the Cirque de Soleil shows. The Stratosphere is also worth going up for the view.

We went to Vegas in August stayed in the Aladdin had a room with a great view over looking the Bellagio Fountains.
We used [website link edited] for our trip to the Grand Canyon they were very good from pick up to drop off, the Canyon was amazing.
If you have a car use Valet parking its free apart from a few Dollars tip,
Most of the hotels have free shows, don't last long maybe 20/30 minutes but worth seeing if you are around when they are on.
Went to Mystere one of the Cirque Du Soliel shows it was good but not as good as the Down Town Disney one sorry cant remember its name. Saw Tom Jones he was brilliant.
The Blue Man group at the Venetian still cant make my mind up if I liked this show or not, the couple we went with thought it was out of this world.
We booked our trips and shows before we went on line.
Didn't have any luck on the machines but had a great week.

Las Vegas is one place I never wanted to visit untill I read some great reports and saw some fabulous photos on this forum. Take a look in the photo gallery.

I hope you have a wonderful time next week and tell us all about your holiday when you return back home.

If you get a chance to see a show go to the Blue Man Group at the Luxor-We were blown away the first time we went-I have never experienced anything quite like it!
The Celine Dion show is really good if you're a fan but ,and take this however you want, it was like watching a series of music videos -incredibly professional but lacking soul IMO
Oh and don't be embarassed about asking for the free drinks on the floor of the casino-people do it as the norm-tip the lady a couple of bucks and you're away!!

Hi gwen here - Blue man group has moved from luxor - will try and think where to - for eating there are a couple of good places in Aladdin shops (I also got a good room there overlooking the fountains) there is the Commanders Palace with the 25 cent martinis - I now know my limit is 3 not the 4 you are allowed!!! also there is a modern bistro next to the "thunderstorm" does a $3-$6 menu - that was fab and the salmon was great!!! - also go to www.vegasrescource.com for loads of coupons inc 2 for 1 buffets free entrances etc etc cant go wrong with all the recommendations on here - I love Las Vegas!!!! the buffet lunchtime at the Wynn ($20) is out of this world - I preferred it to the more expensive night one - but would love to go to the sunday brunch one - next time!!!

Glasgowmary, we loved the Flamingo for it's location and good value for the price we paid (can't remember how much - it varied weekdays and weekends) It's not over-the-top Vegas like some of the bigger hot but the price definitely reflects that. When you check in ask for a remodeled room on a high floor overlooking the strip ( I said it was our first trip and asked nicely!). We got a room on the 20th floor with breathtaking views of the Bellagio fountains. Superb!!
