Good points in the tripadvisor thingy, I always tip the drinks waitress $5 for the first drink, then $1-$2 for each subsequent drink I find this tends to focus them for speed and remembrance of your position and choice

All pretty good advice. Just a couple of comments...

ESTAs are valid for 2 years, so if you went last year you should still be OK.

Possibly but the flight/hotel/arrival information details on it will be out of date and with the way the ICE guys are, you don"t want any hassles.

Just found this that might be of interest to some.

It appears that for £18 you get 67 minutes (1hr plus 7 mins bonus) to call either a US or UK number. It"s all prepaid so you can"t be overbilled. Texts appear to count for 1 minute.

If you can get Skype and preload £10 you can ring the UK for 1p per min

Why would you want to ring the UK? Everybody"s going to be in Vegas anyway

I haven"t updated my ESTA for the last 2 trips over here and no problems at all. Also didn"t fly direct to Vegas, which is usually worse at immigration but not this time, sailed through.

There is free wi-fi in the Aria and Venetian poker rooms. So I use my UK phone there for skype, fb, email etc all the time. Might save some people buying the in room internet if you don"t need it much.

And buy 1 UK-USA adapter and bring a UK 4-gang extension. Then you have 4 UK sockets in your room for you and whoever you share with. Enough for 2 laptops and 2 phone chargers etc, no fighting over the 1 adapter.
