Just heard from the PR people and I'm in The Venetian. Is it nice?
Is stuff easy to get to from there? I really have no idea about the place...
I've got a fairly busy schedule, but should have some time for coasters/sight seeing.

Hey we stayed in that hotel for a few days - then we spent another few days at Treasure Island, then another few days at Tthe wicked Disney MGM to finish it off.
If you have got a day to spend, you can do it all. Taxis to and from the hotels is dirt cheap. Also you can walk to and from most of them. Though it does get very hot so sometimes nice to get taxi. But also they run free mini trains from the main hotels. All the coasters are worth doing.. nclduing the Manhattan express. The dive loop was interesting. I did find it rough as well but it was about 3 years ago. Speed @ the Sahara is a nice cool one to do also.
The thrill rides on top of the Stratosphere are well well well worth the trip up there. Very scary. And the blast tower is a nice feeling when your already the same height as helicoptors then u go even higher on that ride.
If you get time in the night, the shows are great also. I think it's at the MGM, the magic illision show was breath taking. Very Very good, worth doing. Circus Circus was alright, nothing major special but was fun to do some flat rides and a roller coaster and water ride indoors, also the circus show was alright, love their indoor side shows as well! but i still think you can do all the rides at all the hotels in a day so go for it!!!
And the fountins at night is amzaing. Is that the Luxor hotel? Forgot the name. but it's just out of this world.... love the night life their, the city that never sleeps.... night time with all the lights is great. Oh also the special effects show at Treasure Island worth watching!! I think we watched that, then got in a taxi to Luxor for the fountin show. You can have a cool day and night.. LAs Vegas is like one big theme park! lol.
You will enjoy it either way!!

It's the Bellagio mate, I was lucky enough to stay their on my last trip. It’s one of the more upper class/ classy hotels with very expensive shops. It's also the place where I met Hilary Duff.And the fountins at night is amzaing. Is that the Luxor hotel? Forgot the name. but it's just out of this world.... love the night life their, the city that never sleeps....
Have fun.

Thats it, the Bellagio! That was the one. Luxir is the one with the bright light in the middle which uses the amount of power for a small village for a month in one night shining right up into the sky.... Also thats the one with the lifts that move diaginal. Sorry cant spleel. bit late and tipsy from night out. IM sure master AStrodan can spell check me. lool
But yeah, let us know how you get on in Vegas dude, i wanna go back, and i'll be 21 so i can go in the casinos and attualy stop and look. There were guards that made you keep walking if you were under 21. I couldnt even stand and look at some lights while parents were playing on the machines. i remember i wasnt allowed off the red carpet walk ways, not even to grab the phone off my dad without some guard saying "keep moving...."
