Not just the finest band ever to come from the world's gambling kingdom Las Vegas, but ... more
undoubtedly also one of the finest groups on the planet today; The Killers are a true phenomenon.Having charmed music fans everywhere with their dynamic debut album, Hot Fuss, the band have reinforced their standing as one of this decade's first division acts with a follow up record with does nothing if not surpass creatively its predecessor.The Killers: Leaving Las Vagas is a documentary film about this extraordinary collective and by using interviews with the band and those close to them, rare footage, numerous obscure photographs (many of which come from private collections), locations shoots and a host of other features, this programme is uniquely enlightening, hugely informative, and downright entertaining and is certain to become the standard work on this magnificent band.
Advantages: An OK read Disadvantages: Dissappointing!!
DIVAS LASVEGAS
BELINDA JONES
I have always loved Belinda Jones books, and I have read near enough all of her books: I Love Capri, On The road to Mr Right, The Paradise Room, Out of the Blue, The Love Acadamy, Cafe Tropicana and now Divas LasVega. The only book of hers I have left to read is The California Club (and the new book which she has coming out soon).
I'm not quite sure where Divas LasVegas comes in the line of her books, it could very possibly be one of, if not, her first book.
I loved all of Jones' previous books, they have all been amazing, and have really captured my imagination, this book was very different and I must say, it isn't the best of her work.

Advantages: Luxurious rooms, dining, fountain show, service Disadvantages: Check in and general bedm in reception.
For me only the Bellagio would do once we had decided to visit LasVegas as the second stop on our honeymoon just over two years ago. The hotel featured in the Oceans' 11 film which I loved and I was particularly looking forward to seeing that famous water fountain show.
The hotel is located roughly half way along the main Strip area in Vegas, it has an Italian theme and is beautiful to look at from the outside. It is set back from the street and the front of the building gently curves around "Lake Como". Providing it is not too windy, from 3pm in the afternoon the fountain show runs every fifteen minutes making for excellent photo opportunities and selling lots of postcards.
Booking and prices
We organised our whole trip with Kuoni a few months in advance. Strangely in this modern age, we had to wait a few days ...
Advantages: 4/5 star, great price, good gambling and atmosphere Disadvantages: The Lion enclosure
My husband and I have just gotten back from a trip to LasVegas and chose the MGM hotel to stay at so this forms my review.
The MGM is located right on the strip (LasVegas Boulevard) right by Tropicana Avenue so fairly near one end of the strip. It is located close to the New York New York hotel and there is actually a walkway which joins the two hotels to give you easy access to both.
The hotel in its present form was opened at the end of 1993. Most of the hotels in LasVegas have a certain them that they like to promote through each of their casinos such at NY NY, Paris, The Venetian etc. The MGM in my opinion is not as heavily themed as the other hotels but follows along the lines of old Hollywood/California movies stars etc with the feature of the MGM lion and movie star photos in the bedrooms. When the MGM first opened it had ...
