Just been on a mini themed Northern Soul cruise to Amsterdam from Hull. Sold out and the best set of peaple Ive come across.

I like the sound of your Cannery Row visit....I love that book.

I live in Cala Vinyes for the last 5 years and work in Magalufs no1 excursion, Pirates. I've been watching the shows on Magaluf and like always they show one side off Magaluf. Off course we have lots of clubs and bars in BCM square and "The Strip" but alot of stuff on these shows are set up for the programme. The 3 reps in the Lively hotel aint the reps in that hotel for starters, my job is to help the reps sell Pirates so i know the reps in the hotel. The sex games don't happen in the bar they were in. If you want the sex games and free bars you have that option but if you enjoy a good night out with a party atmosphere you'll be fine. Just for the record ive been in Hull since 16th Jan been out twice and ive seen more fights here than Magaluf.

If you want any info just give me a shout

I just got back from a trip around South America, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Columbia. Best thing ive done.

Going to Vegas at the end of the year, found a return direct flight and 7 nights in the Luxor for £800, anyone know if thats a good deal ? Also how much spending money for the week ? Want to do GC, spend some time on the tables, a few big nights out.

When are you going, if it's around Thanksgiving then it will be quiet and a lot of places closed. Gambling wise it depends what you play, I hated every minute in Vegas and I was there 24 hours, definitely see Freemont Street, the rest of it is Blackpool on acid.(IMHO)

The Hawiian Tropic bar is well worth a visit though

Yeah the Wynn was another £200, we only need the room to sleep and shower really. Yeah im reading that you'll either fall in love or you cant wait to leave.

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.

I cant decide, too many places and not enough time.

I wanted to do Aus in November till whenever but im now tempted by a trip to Tokyo/Beijing and then possibly move on from there. A nice Eurotrip wouldnt go a miss, Germany, et al.

£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.

Cheers buddy.

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?
