Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream: |

Now I've just recently hit the big 50. And when tb did, three years ago, we did a special trip. So the big question for the last 12 months or so has been what would MY big trip be.

I did that recently too in spite of the best efforts of a white van driver. No big trip for me (unless you count the West Highland Way) but I did treat myself to a 150-500mm Sigma lens.

Well, I'm going to travel on my own. Finally. I feel that I actually [ineed[/i to do it – I need to prove, to myself, that I can. So, in spring this year, I'm going to toddle off on my own for a week to 10 days. First part is planned already pretty tightly, but the rest is not.
I'm going to go to Germany and ... wander.
I'm both looking forward to it – and bloody terrified already.'"
Did you see Julia Bradbury walking through Germany in a short series a few years back?

You reckon £1500 for a week ? Im 24 so the nights will be spent in a bar, clubs etc. Want to do GC and Cirque du Soleil.'"
£1500 should be fine, it all depends how much you gamble (and how lucky you get on the tables), one thing I would do is try and get on guest lists for clubs, a lot of them have websites where you can put your name down (as soon as possible) and you might get a few freebies, then divide the cost of getting in up by the rest of you. When you eat go off the strip, you'll pay 50% more for having shiny lights etc.
If it's still on, go see Spamalot (watch the movies first though), should be easy enough to get checp tickets in advance. Don't leave anything until the last minute if you can avoid it, Vegas can be cheap as chips if planned in advance, but if you just buy on the day you'll pay a premium.

What an odd post.
Luxor is OK but pretty badly located. £1500 would be plenty for a week unless you want to start booking tables in clubs etc.

We went on Thanksgiving and a lot of places were closed, I was advising based on my experience, "badly located" may be according to your definition and your needs, I am sure SS can make his own decisions based on various sources of information.
Remember, you think Vegas is brilliant, I think it's , we obviously have different standards and requirements. Instead of having a dig at me (as is your usual) why not give SS some other useful advice,?

Where did I have a dig at you? Where was closed in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving?
SS asked for opinions on his choice of hotel, I responded in that in my opinion it is poorly located, what is so wrong about that? I am sure he can make his own decisions too, probably to ignore your advice
Was Friday a bad day for you?
