Decent prices mate. Where's that flying from and who with?


Never pay for one of life's few free pleasures.

Virgin holidays, direct from manchester. Can only get a rough figure as it's 18 month away but doing a holiday savings club rather than everyone saying aye then pulling out cos they are skint, so saying £100 each a month from
Now til then should cover holiday and a fair chunk of spending money.

It'll be hell :lol:
Did a 5 day stag in magaluf a couple year back and the last day / night I locked mesel in my room and read a book. :lol: couldnt face any more


Did 4 in Ibiza for my stag 9 year ago and I was ready for marsden cliffs when I got back.

Sounds good mate. Good flight times with Virgin anarl. Some holiday companies let you pay monthly via direct debit now so that may be worth a look.

We did something similar for our 30ths back in 2008. I remember fuck all about the place tbh!! For our 40ths we're thinking about Atlantic City. Considered it?
 
Was there for three days last December.

Couldn't wait to get out.

I'm sure you will have a great time with the lads.
This for me anarl.

Been several times and the attraction for the place completely baffles me. I'm not a gambler and I'm not sucked into thinking I'm coming home with the jackpot. My drinking days are long behind me. Horses for courses but this place is clearly not mine.

As I said, Tahoe. Lovely place in comparison, amazing lake and Sierra Nevada landscape, do a bit of whatever you fancy - skiing, water sport, fishing, exploring the north and south sides, casino strip for the Vegas-alike stuff if that's your thing (and why not). Something for everyone.

I could spend weeks there. Couldn't drag me to Vegas by comparison. Unless there was a seriously interesting show on.

More like my scene. I'm more impressed by the natural beauty around Vegas than I am by all the plastic buildings and plastic people within.
 
Organising a lads trip to vegas for 2018, anyone off here been recently? Any recommendations?

Probably about 8 of us going. Would it be cheaper to get a suite with everyone in or 4 rooms of 2?
do the grand canyon will be one of the best things you have ever done

Disagree, you will spend most of your time in and out of your hotel. Get the best you can afford. Vegas is all about the hotels and why get a shit one when you can have numerous bars, clubs and pool parties on site.
stayed at the venetion in the summer never seen anything like it the size of the place

Priced up MGM, it's looking good based on this years prices, about £750-800 each including direct flights and transfers in October.

Agreed on 4 nights, will be a bit of struggle but any less than that and it's not worth the long haul imo.
Go for MGM, was great when 8 of us went. Decent hotel does help the trip imo, as second time it wasn't as good having a smaller pool with less sun.
 
I couldnt do more than 3 or 4 days on a lads boozing hol nowadays

First 2 nights i cope with... By the 3 night I'm fucked.....

One night for Atlantic city is enough.

If in the summer some great places along the NJ shore for partying.... Loads of bars along the boardwalk

Depends on age range, price range, gambling budget, spend budget, what type of trip you're after, if nightclubbing, pool parties etc

Main one is age range though as some casinos are full of younguns nowadays with little gambling
 
Everyone's 40th?
Most hotels have room tax at about £25 a night to add on top of the trip.

Good point marra.
We went there in October, and stayed at the Bellagio.
The room tax for a week worked out to around $240 - one big f***ing rip-off. And you cannot get out of it. Cheaper hotels will be less. But the Bellagio is one big rip-off - as is anything on the strip.
For instance a bottle of Bud will knock you back $8 a pop on the strip, and a draught beer will be $10 (not even a 20 fluid ounce pint by the way:evil:).

Tickets for the shows are best bought from the designated booths and shops - good discount prices!! We got to see Penn & Teller for $60 per person, which was half price.

Oh, a general comment about Vegas - it's like Marmite - either you love it or hate it.

do the grand canyon will be one of the best things you have ever done

Another big rip-off if you want the helicopter ride out there to the Grand Canyon.

Expect to pay $350 per person.
 
Is Vegas really that good for a lads holiday? I know the concept sounds great but strange and stupid as it sounds when I was there it didn't seem the place where you'd just go out and get mortal. Is it not just American hype. Surely every town in Britain is a Sin City at weekends nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go there with the lads and a wad full of cash but perhaps it was because I was with the wife on my only visit like so was having a different experience.

that might be true but Whitley Bay and Las Vegas aren't really comparable :lol:
