Dionesque go to Vegas.com and find the lion king and u'll see

[celinedream]

celinedream, we two would love to go to the GC too and the 14th sounds like good plan! What shall we do to join you? Are you renting a big car or what's the plan??

 

Im going on a bus tour (Look Tours) see here all the details and how to book http://www.looktours.com/grand-canyon-skywalk-bus.html

[Dionesque]

Yeah, I figured it out in the meanwhile, lol! Thanks for the info, Jimena!

We'll think of it whether we'll book that or not. We thought of renting a car and going on our own so we'll be more flexible. Have to think it over.

 

Jimena, you've booked the simple bus trip or the bus+helicopter one??

[celinedream]

hey Barbara i booked the Grand Canyon bus tour + skywalk ticket included it was 139.99 per person they pick us up in our hotel and have complimentary breakfast ( although i read in the reviews is just a granola bar and a juice box hahaha) it's from 7 am - 7 pm

[Cheerfuljane]

That's a REALLY great deal !! Go for it guys !!

12 hours is hectic, but, trust me, it will be SOOOO worth it

[Dionesque]

Skywalk = helicopter? Or what's that??

Anyone else planning on booking that for the 14th? I'll talk to my hubby and we may book it too as it probably is cheaper than renting a car. right? Even if the breakfast sucks, lol!

[celinedream]

It's a glass platform built in the grand canyon. you can walk in it and see the emptyness beneath you, pretty impressive. check it out: http://www.grandcanyonskywalk.com/

 

oh and i believe Tracey (nuts2you) already booked the tour too

Groupon's Great Discounts

 

Check their website everyday for great deals in Vegas

http://www.groupon.com/las-vegas/?post_subscribe=true

 

Today you can get a 52% discount on a Madame Tussauds Ticket !!

And $5 for $15 of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

[Dionesque]

Have you tried that Groupon thingy in the past already?

Is it reliable and are there really no hidden costs??

It's hard to imagine for me that they are giving so many discounts and offers and ask nothing in return?

[Cheerfuljane]

Yes, I use them all the time in Dallas.

It doesn't include tax or tips.

It's an advertising tool. Companies get huge repeat business from it.

 

The most important thing is to always READ THE FINE PRINT first.

Sometimes you have to book something in advance to use the coupon.

I forgot that once and went to the restaurant without a reservation

We wanted to buy the "Madame Tussauds Ticket" with groupon but on the page where you have to fill out your billing adres, the only European country you can choose from is UK

 

 

By the way: we ordered 2 tickets for David Copperfield today.

You can get special "Meet and greet packages" where you can meet mr. Copperfield, have a photo opportunity and first row tickets for the show.

It's in the MGM Grand Hollywood theater. We ordered by telephone (Tel: 866-740-7711), but you also can get tickets via this site:

https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/group_cor...amp;customerID=

(The special offer code is "MGM")

[Dionesque]

Thank you for the info, Jane! I looked at that Madame Tussauds offer and found out that I can only buy one ticket so the other one of us would need to buy a regular ticket, I suppose, right? Hmm, haven't chacked if I can select Germany or not but is that really relevant?

How do I get the tickets? Are they always will-call tickets or printable tickets or something else?

 

Really, Amethystj ??! Aww, how cool! We wanted to see Copperfield to but than we found out somewhere that he's having a break during his shows while we're there! What day are you going on?? Guess you're catching him on one of those days when we're not there, lol...

 

EDIT: Yeah, just rechecked: he has one show on March 9th and the next one on March 17th... and we'll be there from 10th to 17th in the afternoon, dang! Sh!t happens, lol!

Edited February 7, 2011 at 03:42 AM by Dionesque

[Cheerfuljane]

Yeah, you can only buy one ticket, but if it continues through the next day or comes back later, you can usually get another one.

They're printable within 10 minutes.

I don't know about getting them from other countries. You'll have to try it and see if it works.

[Dionesque]

I just booked the Grand Canyon bus trip + Skywalk for the March 14th from this site!

Sounds like good offer! It's a whole day trip (12 hours in total) and they pick you up at your hotel and drop you there on the way back.

The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it includes the lunch costs too or they only bring us to some buffets but we have to pay extra for the meal.

 

Anyone else booked this thip on the same date??

[Cheerfuljane]

I think that's the same one that Jimena and Tracey have booked.

[Dionesque]

Yepp, that's the link Jimena posted here a few days ago but I didn't knew she booked it.

And Tracey asked me if we're going there by a rental car, at least that's what I assumed so I thought she's looking for a pick up. We thought about renting a car but now it seems less probable, at least not for our entire stay in Vegas.

[Amethystj]

Hi Dionesque,

I thought he did a show almost everyday, but I now saw there is indeed a break from 10 till 16 march. That's a bummer!

We booked our show for march 24. We are lucky to stay 14 days in Vegas!

[Dionesque]

Amethystj, out of curiosty, how much do these meet&greet tickets costs??

I couldn't see the prices while checking and I didn't wanted to register to MGM Grand Offer just to see that, lol!

You are indeed lucky! I used to love his shows on TV in early 90s and my hubby would love to see him live in action to but oh well, maybe an another time...

[Amethystj]

We paid 452,8$ for 2 persons including all taxes and service costs, that is 226,4$ per person if I'm correct.

It's not that much, I think, considering a meet and greet and front row tickets!

I wish I could pay this price for a meet and greet + front row seats for Celine.

I think I would have a meet and greet with Celine every day when I was in Las Vegas, lol.

[nuts2you]

Yepp, that's the link Jimena posted here a few days ago but I didn't knew she booked it.

Thats Great, More fun for us then. So that would be four of us then,

[Shamrock_1982]

As I said before I highly, highly , highly recommend seeing 'O' for so many reasons, its just beyond words, and really makes you escape from all of lives worries and stresses, the colours, the music, and the effects, are just wow, definatley a show to see before you die, and besides this show inspired Celine for A new day...

 

Also a helicopter ride over the strip at night its incredible, and not that expensive... we went with a company that was situated were Aria is now back in 2005, so not sure were they have moved to but they were excellent, although you're flight time and route may vary as they have to deal with other air traffic coming and going from the airport as we had to land as a 747 was in our flight route, scary... lol. But would definately do it again!

[Bellamy]

How much for a helicopter ride over the strip? Anyone has a good deal?

[Davey84]

back in 2007 I think I paid 70 dollars, it was totally worth it!

[Bellamy]

I would do it if it's under $100. At night, right?

[Davey84]

yeah definatly go at night, I don't think it'd be that exciting when it's still light

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah only do it at night!

[Del]

Even though I won't be going to Vegas for the premiere, I still thought I would give input on things to see.

 

I agree with everyone with the Grand Canyon. It's simply amazing. I did the skywalk back in 2007. If you're scared of heights don't do it as it will freak you out.

 

As for shows I've seen KA, The Lion King, LOVE, Le Reve and Jersey Boys. They were all fantastic, but i'd have to say that The Lion King and Le Reve were my favorites.
