back from the flamingo a couple of weeks ago - great prices and great location. the ballys deal (with it's decent location) seems a good one.
the shuttle (as stated) will run you back from the rio to harrahs properties (used it once) and from paris into the rio
rio buffet - best one of the trip
voodoo lounge (top of rio) - best view of the strip
luxor is ok but the location will have you walking loads or cabbing quite a lot

Very difficult to find work, many casinos are laying off staff.
eg TI close their poker room for on shift per day now, I think 2am-10am.
Visa, very difficult. |
Really? I was playing there on Thursday night until after 4AM, they must have changed their minds. |

They close if they dont have a viable table/s running. Get shorthanded and they will close.
With the WSOP in town, things may change, but it is pretty widely known that they close the room on graveyard.

Tickets to shows - best places to get them?
Staying at MGM and i think its KA that is on there, where should I look to get them, and how much should i be expecting to pay? Not necesarily KA, but maybe O, or something like that - oooh or Danny Gans  Is he still at the Mirage? |

Gans is still at the Mirage until November, I think the 11th or 22nd is his last night. Never seen his tickets on discount.
Never seen O on sale either.
Mystere is often on sale via the cirque website.
If you have never seen a cirque show, Zumanity, KA and Love are different to their typical offerings.
Mystere is my fave Cirque show in Vegas, Zumanity is the worst and I think O is overpriced.
Never seen him myself, but Terry Fator was the winner of Americas Got Talent and will be taking over from Gans at the Mirage when he leaves. He might be at the Hilton, check youtube for his video clips.

Thanks Kaz - owe you a drink when I am out there for all the advice 
What's the best advice re monies? Want to take about $3k-$4k, should I take it all out in cash here from post office or something, see if I can wire it to the casino (if they would do an amount that small), or just take my bank card and take it out there? Unless I get rhaped for Halifax visa debit withdrawals. |

| Halifax charge £1.50 per transaction and exchange rate is terrible. |

Hmmmm,
Will a daily rate apply to taking money out on my debit card?
E.G, Say instead of taking $x with me, I take half cash and leave half in my Bank account.
If I go to the cashier to withdraw the second half, how is this treated? Is it treated as a cash withdrawal, so the most I could withdraw daily is circa$600 (as per my bank's daily limit), or would it be treated a s a purchase, so any amount would be accepted? |

not sure that will work in america
marrying an american chick doesn't auto grant you a visa, don't see how having a baby would either
think it works everywhere else tho ;o |

300,000 anchor babies a year is estimated
then when your child turns 21
your child can sponsor you for citizenship
that is if you havent already become a cititzen
if you need an employer in america to sponsor you for H1B visa
get the employer to carefully word the job vacancy
example: Need to be well versed in British culture
in order to entertain/maintain relations with certain clients
