As I have been helped by so many from this group thought you might be interested in our recent one week vist;

Stayed at Luxor which was great except pool area which was just a slab of concrete with a couple of dreary pools and buffet breakfast which was boring and poor value. Breakfast buffet at Mandalay bay was excellent value. Thought the strip & hotels much better than expected and far less “tacky”. Saw 3 shows; Lance Burton 10/10, Barry Manilow 8/10 a,d Cirque de Soleil ‘O’ 10/10 all booked on internet from UK 3-4 months ago.

Helicopter tour to Grand canyon with Papillon was superb and great value.

Overall we were very impressed at clenliness and level of service everywhere and good value at most restaurants, especially Blackstones in Monte Carlo, PF Chang’s outside Alladins and Cheesecake Factory in Cesars Palace!

Would definately recommend and next time want to visit Hoover dam which we just didn’t have time to get to (except fly over in the helicopter).

Worst part - Continental flights, especially the food!

Hope these thoughts are of interest.
