advice on Concierge service, hotels and renewing vows?

Hi everyone, We are planning a trip to Vegas for August. This is our first time to Vegas. And my husband%26#39;s first time to the US. Many questions:

1. Wanted advice on best way to book tickets to Elton John and other shows at Cesars? We have booked at the Bellagio - is it best to go through their concierge to get the best seats? Do they charge for this service?

2. We will be there for 7 nights, does anyone recommend splitting accommodation between 2 hotels, to get different experience and also there seems to be a better weekend rate at Venetian for when we are going? Is this worth saving $100 or is it a hassle?

3. Has anyone renewed wedding vows in Vegas? Any Recommendations, and what kind of cost?

Thanks for any advice/opinions.

You might like the Palazzo better than the Venetian becuase it is new and lees crowded. Both the Venetian and Palazzo are next to each other and are owned by the same company. www.palazzolasvegas.com

The pool at Palazzo is nicer than Venitian.

Yes I reccomend splitting your stay. It%26#39;s fun to move around.

Bellagio is a beautiful place.

The Bellagio concierge could definitely organize Elton John tickets for you but it%26#39;s doubtful that they%26#39;d be able to get you seats any better than those you could buy yourself from the box office. That would probably only be a possibility if the show were at the hotel where you were actually staying.

A good concierge can get you great seats regardless of where the concert is being held. Same with dinner reservations etc. But have you checked directly with the box office to see what you can get on your own? If a concierge is getting ';tough to get'; tickets they would often come at a premium price over face value. I%26#39;m thinking Elton John tickets aren%26#39;t falling into this category since he plays in Las Vegas all the time and has been doing so for several years now.

Strictly personal choice. Some enjoy staying in two places. Others find it a hassle packing up and moving on to another property. If you feel like taking 2 hours or so to make the move then go for it!

Thanks. Will try to call box office, do I call the venue (Ceasars) or do you have to go through ticket master? Also I%26#39;m booking from New Zealand, do they hold tickets there for collection, or should I get them sent to the hotel?

if you are staying in a conceirge suite

then go through your conceirge host for tickets

and if you are going to split hotels .i would highly recomend the fortuna concierge suite at the palazzo they have a extra large concierge lounge which i believe you good use inviting up some of your friends to the lounge.I invited my nephew and wife into the lounge several times with no problems at all

GOOD LUCK

You can book many shows through the hotel (where the show is playing) website. You can access Elton, Bette, Cher via the harrahs.com website. If you don%26#39;t want the hassle or worry, just contact the concierge and have them make the reservations for you. You can pick up the tickets once you get to Vegas.

As for changing hotels, for only $100 difference I wouldn%26#39;t bother. Bellagio is lovely, has nice dining options, is in the center of the strip, beautiful pool area......nope, if it were me I wouldn%26#39;t move.

It%26#39;s totally irrelevant whether or not you%26#39;re staying in accommodation that has its own designated concierge facility. If this isn%26#39;t the case just go through the hotel%26#39;s regular concierge desk if you want help in getting tickets.

We have never used a concierge even with as much as we have traveled. I was wondering also how you handle a concierge when making a request? Do you just tip or do you pay a set amount for their services?

Blagger

Your right.I just took for granted that they were staying in a concierge suite

It%26#39;s amazing what a good concierge can accomplish, and you tip according to what they accomplish for you.

Casual questions like asking for directions or a basic recommendation for dinner in the area wouldn%26#39;t normally warrant a tip in my experience.

But getting you a table at ';that place'; that you can%26#39;t get into that night definitely warrants 20 bucks. Arranging for your suit jacket to get repaired after you catch it on a door handle 2 hours before you%26#39;re speaking in front of 600 people definitely deserves a tip. (Don%26#39;t ask lol)
