I'll be there Sept 8-a few questions for a fairly newbie

Hi eveyone,

I need a vacation so bad! I%26#39;m leaving for Vegas the evening of Sept 8, and will be there til Thursday. I%26#39;m staying at the Orleans.

My questions are this:

Has anyone taken the VOF SUV tour? I don%26#39;t drive, and want a nice tour to somewhere I haven%26#39;t been, that will let me get out and walk around. Has anyone done this tour?

The other things are this: I am trying to figure out a place I can go to pick up a few things like conditioner, hair stuff, whatever, in case, being everything has to be in checked baggage...and I don%26#39;t like to travel with too much stuff.

The other thing is I%26#39;d love to see the VooDoo lounge, would it be uncomfortable for a woman alone? I am a very laid back artist type who lives in jeans and t shirts on vacations-I HATE dressup, but do make jeans look good. Is it a dress up sorta place at that? I wanna go for the view and that weird drink that looks like a voodoo concoction.

I haven%26#39;t beein in awhile, and I%26#39;m so looking foward to it...any suggestions out there?

thanks much,

Fyrecat

Hi Fyre:

I can only address your shampoo, etc. question.

I also stay at the Orleans (which I love) %26amp; they have a great gift shop. The prices are very reasonable. Example: A 24 oz. water which you would pay $3 %26amp; up on the strip in $1.80. A 8 oz. bag of trail mix was $1.99.

I think for the hassle to find a drugstore (there are none that I know of by Orleans ) %26amp; the cost of getting there the Orleans gift shop would be your best bet,

Also, your room provides you with bigger than average shampoo, cond., lotion %26amp; mine were replenished every day.

There also is a coffee maker in the room but only 1 cup is free during your stay. Others are $1.75. Some people have complained about this, but for me not having to get dressed when I get up is well worth it to me. Heck, I spend $1.75 on a slot in seconds.

By the way, I stay alone at Orleans %26amp; they have great security. You can%26#39;t pass the security at the elevators to rooms without showing your key.

Have fun!!!

orleans is a dump try to get out of ur reservations

Fyre - The VooDoo lounge would not be an uncomfortable place for a woman on her own. Especially if you go mid-week, or earlier in the night (like 9 pm?) when it%26#39;s less crowded you won%26#39;t have to worry about being hit on.

You can dress up your jeans and not look at all out of place. THis is what my husband and I wore the last time we went there

Enjoy your Witch Doctor drink!

as far as voodoo,

as a rule they dont go fro t-shirts,white tennis shoes ,

i think you would be ok with good jeans and shirt

we walked to Walgreens for bottled water and snacks. it%26#39;s a few blocks, not a bad walk but would depend on the heat!

there are also stores on the strip. here are some earlier posts--

%26gt;%26gt;CVS is on the north side of the Monte Carlo on the same side of the street. The Walgreens is directly across the street.

%26gt;%26gt;We just stayed at Aladdin last week...we visited the ABC store several times.

if you don%26#39;t get answers to all your questions, post with the subject line such as ';Has anyone taken the VOF SUV tour?';

so people will see what you want to know without having to open the post.

have fun!

our lady - what do you mean only one cup of coffee is free? Dont they give you a package of coffee for the machine? Usually a tip to the housekeepers gets all the coffee you want? This is a big deal to me as the only fluid in my body when Im not drinking is coffee. Why is the Orleans a dump?
