Yeah but Vegas hotel rooms are RIDICULOUSLY cheap.

NY is expensive wivaaht a daaht but dear God what a city :D I found San Francisco even more expensive on a trip there last year.

Eleven nights in Vegas sounds like a lot; do you have many things on the itinerary?

Also the Luxor is a bit shite / dated and at the arse end of the strip.

Can't really compare hotels in and around Times Square to the Luxor.

Thinking of going full pikey next year and taking the kids to a Haven caravan park. A week in Spain all inclusive is coming in at 3k for the four of us.

The arse end of the Strip is the Stratosphere, I'd say. Although the Luxor is a bit dated and in need of a lick of paint, we've liked it since we first visited Vegas in 2005.

Thanks to Shedboy and dear deise and veritas for info earlier in this thread. 8) Sorted future hols in head now. 2018 over next year, want to go back to eastern Europe, Poland again over Russia, that can wait for later. As can North Korea, still on the horizon.

Already excited. :) Fly to NY, train to Chicago, pick up the California Zephyr to San Francisco. Day or two there and fly/train or even Greyhound to Vegas, a week at the Luxor and back home. Dated and in need of a lick of paint hotels are great. If can tie up with some boxing, best. Must see boxing in Vegas.

Go to the one on the beach in Yarmouth. I can show you the sights: 8) https://www.haven.com/parks/norfolk/seashore/ See those wind turbines in the background of the photo, had a minor role in their (err, cue the Stain) erection, when with another head, for a few months worked for Vestas, Denmark. Great Danish blokes, big drinkers, all up early for the complimentary morning fry up. Shame for our boss though, Carsten, a big bloke, had his stag night in Yarmouth.

Stripper in a backstreet boozer was ok, later carried on to Angels lap dancing club, ruck ensued with some bastards and bouncers more to do some of our group being Danish and Yarmouth's shiteness and insularity and he got a massive shiner.

Still bad when flew back to Denmark for the wedding and despite make up work, photos weren't great. :)

These and other top tourist tales are what you'll get. :)

It'll be the Greyhound or the plane, Carlos. Vegas doesn't have a passenger train service.

New Brighton? In Cheshire?
New Brighton with the postcode CH45? Why is car theft significant?

Park in a decent area and walk or get a taxi to the resort if it really worries you. Either that or stay in that Wigan shithole.

I don't think I'd like Las Vegas , it looks a bit tacky to me. Blackpool on steroids I suppose it's close to the Grand Canyon that's why some stop off there

Come own here tomorrow and you'll be in the 21st Century from your antiquated Victorian era workhouse slums. Fuck Wigan!

Give it up Finchoid. What he means for the hard of thinking is that it's not in fucking Liverpool, it's on the Wirral. Have you actually got any functioning braincells?

It's still Merseyside, you can't get much closer, didn't the ferry stop there in the past?

Don't know. You're asking the wrong person about ferries. :)

It's close enough. From New Brighton you get a cracking view of the Liverpool docks. It's possibly closer to the Albert Dock than Anfield or Goodison, although I haven't checked with the atlas so this may be slightly out.
