    Getting TO/AROUND: As you come out of the arrivals building into the heat outside you will feel for the first time that you have truly arrived. The airport is located at the end of the Strip but there is not much that can be seen at first. The fleet of stretch limos parked outside will however give you an insight into what you might expect. We even saw a stretch range rover that looked more like an army assault vehicle. And then we saw something that would be familiar to any Londoner…. could it be, surely not here, yes it is, we’ve flown half way round the world and one of the first things we see is a bloke in a Manchester Utd football shirt!!

    A good tip for the first time visitor, unless you are in a hurry, is not to get a taxi from the airport to your hotel but take one of the shuttle buses that ply their trade outside the arrivals area. As well as being cheaper, you get a free tour, especially if you are staying downtown and get dropped off last. Depending on where you are staying this is likely to take some time but you will get some great views and it will give you an idea of the geography of the Strip.

    Getting TO/AROUND: For about $75 you can get the ultimate view of Vegas by taking an evening helicopter flight over the Strip. It only lasts about 15 minutes but it's well worth it. There are two or three companies providing this service and I booked my trip through www.vegas.com

     i agree tipping is a pain. when asked for one i always reply : don't smoke, eat more fresh fruit and don't piddle in the lift. They don't ask again.

     Thanks for visiting my Medugorje page Clive. It's one of the newer and less visited pages. Don't you just love Vegas? I do anyway and I see you're a frequent visitor there.
