Nice TR which I've quickly looked at but I'll read it in full later ^

Whatever happened to aks120?!

Thoroughly enjoying the combined TR's you certainly are both packing in a lot for the short time you were in LAS. We love LAS and have been many times, just love the buzz and all the different themed hotels, have not stayed in the Signature, but as you say it is slightly off the strip, but still attached to MGM. Must put LAS back on our list of places to visit again. Of course going in August it must have been so jolly hot. Love Bellagio and we have eaten at Sensa. Looking for to the next installment.

Looked like a fun, yet hectic trip. Waiting for the rest.

Sorry for the delay guys. Posted part 4, and hcuk94 assures me that 5 and 6 are in the works

Thanks also for the kind words. We fit a lot in, but worth it I'd say. Rest is for the plane, or when you get home. I'm hooked on Vegas, and I think hcuk94 is too - no doubt we'll be going back!

Curious if they use the rock salt only once or multiple times....

Interesting point, unsure. This seems to suggest that you can deal with them in a few ways (first result on google, YMMV), and even heat them for cooking with, etc. Seems quite durable.

Food was pretty awesome anyway!

Great TR so far and looking forward to reading the rest.

I can testify that Cafe Belagio is great and their spag bol is probably one of the finest I have ever tasted!

Thank you for the kind words, and yes, Cafe Bellagio is awesome - glad there's another fan. Getting itchy feet for my next Vegas jaunt now, flying out to SFO 5 weeks yesterday, a few days there, doing the PCH to LA, then flying to vegas for a week. Can't wait
