Great Fun

I’m working on the pics so be patient.
Blackpool is one of the most fun places in the UK. It has everything from entertainment for the youngest kids, to the oldest kids like you and me.
I love Blackpool, and we go once a year for my eldest daughter birthday.

And then on the odd time on a hen night or stag night. Plenty of clubs and bars to get plastered in. Plenty of hotels to stay over in.

So what about the Las Vegas UK bit then?

My Chloe at the pleasure beach.

Well, it seems that there are a lot of influential people, wanting to turn our beloved family Blackpool, into an the adult casino capital of England.
Well I for one don’t like the sound of that at all. In fact, I think its wrong.
Millions of families every year visit Blackpool, just to have fun and be close.
Don’t get me wrong, I think a place like Las Vegas would be fantastic, and I would certainly be there like a shot.

But leave Blackpool for families and tourists to enjoy, and build Las Vegas UK from scratch somewhere else.

Pros and Cons

Pros:An absolutely fantastic place for the whole family.
Cons:Dont keep the family on the street after 9 pm.
In a nutshell:Great place for families, and late at night for adults.

Agree with you entirely on that one Steve, why don't they put the casinos in Morecambe - nobody ever goes there LOL

This place seems to answer for the forum's swearing that Blackpool is the UK's ultimate seaside resort. How patient are we supposed to be with you?
