Ok we have been back! And all the fyi did help us greatly! We end up staying at Alladin for 2 nites and Bellagio for the last 2 nites. Monday into Tuesday: arrived at LAS at 11:00AM, the Gray Line Shuttle was great and affordable. $9.00 for a roundtrip (drop off and pick up on your hotel lobby) fee, they were very friendly and helpful! Checked in at around 12:30PM and also found out that Alladin do Starwood points which was great! We were placed at 24th floor and since it was not busy we got a room with a view for upgrade and only paid $99.00/ night. Nice big bathroom! you got 2 vanities at opposite side, large sunken tub and a nice big shower room. Room was very comfortable even with 2 queen size beds! The Dessert passage was awesome which was in the Alladin resort itself. Lots of things to do not just gambling. And since we love our food this was the best spot for us. Todai (where we had our 1sat dinner YUM!), PF Chang, Starbucks all over and many more. We also found coupons online prior to our trip which got us "buy 1 get free coupons" tickets which was again located in Alladin.
Tuesday we woke up early since we have not been in sync with Vegas time. We started sweeping the strip going towards Venetian at 3AM. Lots of things to do. Finally we got tired of walking and took the bus! A great system I may say for tourist like us. For $5.00 you can ride "The Deuce" unlimited times for 24 hours. Affordable breakfast we had at Stratosphere. Also dont forget to bring your Ghirardeli coupon, I did not know this part but I bumped into it which was located at Harrah's ( got me missing Downtown Disney though but thank God for the Sundae!). On trip back to the Hotel we did stop at Treasure Island and Mirage to see the free sights. For dinner we dined at Spice Market the Buffet place in Alladin! Another good dinner I tell yah!
Wednesday,Thursday,Friday: We opt to take the taxi rather than just crosdsing the street with all our luggage which was noty bad since it only cost us $5.00 ofcourse plus tip and the driver was really nice so we were good to him
. Check in at the Bellagio was great! Someone named Norma helped us on the counter and since we were there on time and there's no room ready we got again a room with a view, pool view which was $20.00 more to what we paid for. Well the room was not as BIG as Alladin but we all know where paying for the "name" but it is not really that bad with the 2 queen size bed. we just missed the 2 vanity and a big sunken tub! But then I guess that's why they have the 6 heated pool downstair 
No Starbucks in house and even if they said that Jeanne Phillip is great I still like my triple shot caramel machiato from Starbucks! Their buffet was great! Ok for the price I think. We dined there for breakfast and dinner no complains ( Loved Vegas buffet for their sushi nagiri and they dont mind making it a sashimi either). We saw "O" and that was a bit scary (not the show but the scalpels- not sure if I spelled that right) since there were people bugging you to buy tickets from their and they are really getting to aggresive till the security came ( we did not orig'ly plan to watch it so we were at the standby line.. pls..pls..pls... don't be fooled in buying tickets from them 3 ladies were sent out for buying fake tickets!) but love their security system when you go to the rooms, there was a designated bell hop just to check your room key! Great!. Thursday AM we ventured to the old strip and enjoyed that too. Joined the comp card at Golden Nugget since they were giving $10.00 to play and we manage to double it which paid for our lunch at theiur buffet! Not bad at all for $9.99 and we have change for souveniers! After lunch we went to check out Paris and they were giving key chains and shirts at the comp counter just by telling them it's your 1st time there! Really awesome people.
Thursday off to Monte Carlo,New York New York, Excaliber, Mandalay Bay and Luxor. It's at Luxor where we had our dinner again at a buffet again good price 18.99 for dinner with all the trimmings. After dinner off to Studio 54 at MGM , we did not have time to check out Coyote Ugly
, shopped at the Rainforest Cafe, lots on sale for souvies! Then off to M&M World more souvies! The dark ones where half off's yum! Then finally time to go back to the hotel and pack. Friday AM one last hurrah for the buffet at the Bellagio and while waiting for the shuttle played the slots and voila ! Won enough money to buy a purse at the YSL store at the forum shops! So all in all it was a win win trip for me and my sisters!
from the bottom of my heart I thank everybody for all your inputs which helped made our trip great with Gusto!
We are staying at the Bellagio in July and have had a letter from our
