Just got back, thanks everyone here!

Thank you everyone for contributions and esp. people who kindly answered my Qs.





We had wonderful time in Vegas last week. It was pretty exhausting though; we had very tight schedule. Or we’re not getting younger :D We went back and forth between strip and tennis darling stadium (tennis channel open). Plus we moved several times (Signature/Bellagio/TI). We also drove to mesquite half day to play golf at wolf creek.





We saw three great shows (Le Reve, O, and Phantom). We had fun dining in Vegas. We can go back to just eat, really!! Valet parking was great tip, thanks to forum. We were spoiled. It was very convenient and saved us a lot of time. Strip was fun to walk when the weather was nice. We walked straight once from Mirage to m%26amp;m and took about 20-25 mins, crowd pace. Hubby and I really enjoyed Las Vegas. We hope to return soon. Any questions?, thanks again everyone :)



Just got back, thanks everyone here!


Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed your trip. How did the hotels compare? Any favorites? Where all did you eat?



Just got back, thanks everyone here!


Glad you enjoyed your visit, and glad you really enjoyed the food!



It%26#39;s nice when someone comes back and thanks the people who gave them helpful advice before their trip.



Thank you for doing that.




I am happy things worked out so well. Did you have any problems with the stadium? Easy to get to? Parking there?




Sounds like a fun and busy trip. Glad you enjoyed it!




Hi Juwel50; hard to compare these three, we like them all. Let’s try.





-Signature jr.suite was very new and bright with great hugh window panels. Air circulation was excellent. Unlimited bottle water. Small fridge and microwave were super nice. Bellagio has fridge but no space left and I was afraid of sensor.





-Bellagio Lakeview room. We just loved the water dances so much. I was little sad coz we only stayed here Thursday (weekend rate was skyrocking). We didn’t see much water show since we came back very late. We caught the last couple songs, very beautiful.





-TI stripview room. We got the room on 29th flr West wing. What a view! I could see the whole strip line from Mirage up to Mandalay bay. It was perfect strip view to me.





Food was excellent, too little time, so many places. Our favs were Le Village breakfast, Hash House Go Go, and Komol (little Thai place).




VP03; thanks very much for asking. They set up free open parking area across the street, very convenient. I would say it took about 20-30 mins from strip depending on traffic. It was northwest of strip. Very nice size stadium, I got player autograph too, yay!!




What did you think of Wolf Creek? Did you think it was worth the drive?




golfinvegas, thank you for your suggestion on WC. Without this forum, we would never had this opportunity.





It was the most stunning course we%26#39;ve ever played and seen. It was very exciting since the start. I was trying to avoid the crowd by booking the first teetime at 6.50am. well, on that day, there was a frost delay and we had to wait for couple hours. by the time we started, there were like 30 people waiting. It was the most scary time in my golf life.





We decided to let one group lead and we followed them instead. That worked out very well. and we%26#39;re lucky coz there were foursome behind us so no pressure. Plus, we really liked the course layout ;we felt we had a lot of privacy at all times.





I really enjoyed the beauty of WC, but also extremely diffifult for me, u know, I didn%26#39;t remember seeing any flat fairway. I didn%26#39;t know how to hit on those slopes. Hubby did well on most tee offs though; i think he enjoyed hitting across those canyons and he made it, although sometimes into the creeks :P He did par three at 11th hole...that was our highlight :) The weather was perfect sunny with clear blue sky ( chilly only early morning).





The drive from vegas was very easy and smooth. We hope to improve our skills and play at WC again someday.





Thanks so much again for your suggestion.




I will be taking my first trip to Vegas in May, and I will be staying @ TI. Could you please describe what the vibe was like? Thanks in advance, and I%26#39;m glad you had a great time.




I heard TI was aiming towards party crowd. However, when I was there I saw all ages, all style guests. The atmosphere was kinda fun and relaxing, not luxurious or too modern. The casino wasn%26#39;t very big. I saw both ';dress casual'; and ';dress up'; people at TI.



It had some interesting crowd but not enough to be people watch scene, IMO. It%26#39;s not very exciting compared to other hotels but absulutely a place to have a good time even without gambling. TI was very comfortable and very nice hotel. Front desk and Valet staff were friendly and easy to talk to.





I didn%26#39;t get a chance to visit famous Tangerine, Mist, or Kahunaville. I%26#39;m sure these are the places to be if you want to feel TI vibe and to have some fun.





If you need more info, I suggest you post this question as a new topic so experts can see it and then they can tell you a lot more details than me. Have a great time in Vegas. oh! I would like to recommend west wing room at TI. It has fantastic strip view!
