June 13-20 Las Vegas

[Desertgal]

Will stay at the townhouse for one night and then on the June 14,15 will be staying at the Bellagio, then the third night be at the Wynn this will be the first time for us. It is our 40th wedding anniversary. So far not sure what shows we will try to see. After the one night at Wynn we will go back to the townhouse and stay until Saturday morning and head back to the LA area by car. Will try to go to off strip casinos too, M Resort again, and maybe downtown for our daily run arounds after our stay on the strip. Should be interesting and fun, cannot wait !!!

Happy Anniversary and Have Fun!!!!

[Desertgal]

So today I made some plans for this anniversary trip. Sunday we will go to see Bette Midler and we have the cheaper ticket seats. I am not too sure what the view will be, but I am sure it will not be that great. It is in the 2nd mez, yeah way way up there and back. Section 3, Row B, seats 303 and 304 just a few seats in from an aisle. Anybody can fill me in on this, if you like, I did read the reviews on the Bette show link. I do have a few questions about how steep the stairs are and narrow and how scary to be up there. Are there bathrooms in the show lobby or do you have to go outside and down stairs in the general casino area not far from Mesa Grill?

After the show we have dinner reservations at Mesa Grill at 10 pm, maybe try that hamburger even though I am not much of a beef eater anymore. We shall see, I have eaten here before.

The anniversary day, did not plan on seeing a show due to not wanting to get in the car and drive down the strip or even take a cab. Just would like to hang around the area of Bellagio and CP. We do have a reservation for the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at the Paris Casino. We have never eaten here before and could not secure a window seat until we get there and make a request, thought that was strange. Probably have to tip to get a good seat ? We hope that the food will be good, I think I read it is a hit and miss? I did looked into the Lion King show, but for the price, the seats were not that great so I will book this for another trip. They were on the side and this show was pretty booked up as one of the posters here said they were very busy. We will take it easy this day, shop and eat, pool and just have fun.

Tuesday we move to the Wynn for a first time stay. I do have tickets to the Jersey Boys show at 9:30 pm, Section 2, Row P and seats on the aisle 40 and 41. This is back a bit more than I wanted, but still in the center section. We will dine at Delmonico's before the show. Reservations at 6:30 pm. I am so excited I wished I could leave right now, I better start packing, we leave in less than two days. :)

You have made some great show/dining plans - I have not seen Bette but I believe that she is not going to be in Vegas much longer - I know Celine is returning next year - so it is good that you are getting to see her now. I am sure whatever seats you have, you will have a wonderful time. For your anniversary, maybe you can check out TiX4Tonight that day and see what is available nearby, maybe something at Planet Hollywood since they have a few shows on the premises. There is also a free spin wheel at The Planet Hollywood Player's Club desk when you walk in - you get one free spin a day and the grand prize is $2,000,000 (it has been there since last year so it is safe to say no one has won yet!). Back in September I won free tickets to see Stomp! on that wheel when the show was still at PH so there is the possibility that you can win tickets to see something as well....at the very least, you might just walk off with the $2,000,000 lol


I have eaten at The Eiffel Tower restaurant several times and loved it every time. Did you tell them it was a special anniversary??? If not, you should definitely call back and tell them. If they will not reserve a window table in advance (even with the mention of the special occasion) I would mention it as soon as you get there - maybe even get there a little early and see if you can get the window - it really is worth it because it is a beautiful sight to look out on while you dine.

The bed at The Wynn is my favorite in all of Vegas - so incredibly comfortable with an amazing featherbed and very high thread count bedding. make sure you request a king size bed - that is the best!! And the pool area is spectacular. I love both the Bellagio and Wynn pool areas - they are both very elegant and classy. Also make sure to let the reservations agent at Bellagio and The Wynn know it is a special anniversary trip upon check in - you never know - if you get the right person, they may just give you a nice upgrade.

Have a great trip!!!

Well it sounds like you two are going to have a great trip!
I REALLY LIKE WYNN LAS VEGAS!...the casino, the food options,
my Resort room was just fine...hope you guys like it too.

Your JERSERY BOYS seats will be fine, you'll ENJOY!
BETE...you are pretty 'up there'. I've never sat in 2NDMEZ. I've
heard the top of the LEG screen on the stage can be cut off from your
view, but you're sitting down close enough to the front, you might
be OK.
LION KING will be there when you return. I'll see it next month and
will have some seating suggestions afterwords.
HAVE FUN!

Happy anniversary. Have a safe trip.

Hope its your best trip yet!

Thank you all for the information and also your suggestions. I have told every one about the anniversary, and will mention it again when we arrive at the hotels and restaurants. I did send an e mail to the general manager asking for a window seat at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. I will call in a day or two if I don't hear from him. I am almost all packed, but still a ton of things to do on Friday so we can leave on Saturday. Thank you everyone for your kind wishes, and have a great time at the ELV Meet. I will do the TR before or around June 27 before you leave for Vegas. :)
