thanks bizibb (i'm also orignally from sydney, which is where the wedding will be).

i am a long time lurker, and have searched extensively. i was just wondering if this was way too much to be paying for this kind of room etc at the bellagio.

are there any usually any offers available at this hotel?
am i better booking directly through the hotel, or on another site? is the amex fhr worth it (plat. amex)?

if you book a suite, are there any "extras" you get that make it a little more worthwhile - ie. line passes, pref. bookings at restaurants etc etc

cheers
