Official holiday thread

A week in Vegas flies by, especially if you break it up with a trip to the Canyon - I've driven up there from Vegas and stayed overnight at the South Rim (Tusayan has some lovely hotels and does Helicopter tours from the local airport) with the wife midway through a Vegas break and it was a pretty cool way to break up the week.

As MoB said, I'd advise sticking West of the USA too - plenty to do in Palm Springs, San Diego, LA, Santa Monica and San Francisco if you want a second week somewhere.

Go for the standby list

I think we going to do Vegas and L.A!

Going to book 2 hotels and flights separate.

What's the deal with flights though, I'm going to assume it's easier to fly to Vegas then get a flight back from LA. Do I just book single flights, or do any operators do any deals with this? Can search with a different return airport on virgin for example

is there anything to do in Malta?

think 5-6 of us going. seems cheap and warm later in the year any reason not to go?

not really lads holiday in the sense of everyone in vests pissing on each other. more just get away for long weekend, cycle round the island, scuba dive, sunbathe.

sweet, no beaches at all? waaat. what about that island near malta about 10 miles north?

No rivers or lakes either.

Been trawling all the posts on Vegas here the last few days, so far Ive gathered MGM pool is to be done as is Freemont Street & Señor Frog's

Only there for 72hrs so gonna do a Grand Canyon helicopter trip (a mate said go with Maverick Helicopters as theyre one of the the best) also wanna hit that gaff outta Pawn Stars just for a look even though Ive read its not worth it.
Shopping'wise Ive the mall at Caesars Palace chalked down aswell as Undefeated, Stussy, Fruition & CRSVR as must visits (any other Tier 0 accounts around or similar?)

Anything else Im missing thats a "must do"?

A mate is DJ'ing at the Hard Rock Pool on Sat afternoon & then Pure on Sat night, anyone reached to either of these in the past?

Also whats story with outlets, with regards the ones at either end of the strip Ive been told to avoid one in favour of the other but not sure which one is the good one

@Ricer - you'll do well to get all that done in 72hrs.

If you've only got 3 days then I'd fuck Fremont Street off, there's better stuff to do. Not sure I'd bother with the Canyon trip either as it'll be to the West Rim which is nowhere near as epic as the South Rim. If you're gonna do the Canyon then do it proper.

I'd focus on gambling/getting wrecked, and checking out what all the hotels have to offer. Just get a feel for the place. The Stratosphere Tower is worth a visit to check out the rides at the top and have a beer.

Whats the difference between rims (no homo) in Grand Canyon terms....as in how would one do it "proper"?

Not a big gambler tbh, getting wrecked however is guaranteed

Story with dress codes in clubs, are they as tough as Im reading online....all shirt & shoes kinda buzz, no trainers even if decent looking?
Have list sorted for Hard Rock pool party & Pure @ Caesars Palace so dont wanna get turned away like a pikey from the latter
