Sort of. It was part of a longer trip but we flew to LA, spent a few days there (Santa Monica) then hired a camper van and went up the coast to San Fran, across to Yosemite, down to Vegas and Grand Canyon and then back to LA (think that's the right order and there were a few other stop offs).

Fantastic trip with so many sights to see. San Fran and Grand Canyon being the favourites.

Went to Sorrento Italy last year and stayed in th Admril hotel in the Marina Grande only 3 star but nice room faceing over the bay and a stunning veiw of Visuvious very peaceful and never had a bad meal theres a great little restaraunt in the mirina that serves the catch of the day but if you go and book the hotel make sure you get a sea view.
will be going back there again sometime

Imperial Palace is cheap, you get your average Joe Bloggs in there, was a laugh.

The Mirage, we stayed in the Penthouse suit, took ex for her Birthday (any excuse to get back over there). Mirage is more for young ppl I guess and have 2 clubs there. I only went for the clubs/nightlife anyway, so was a no brainer.

Next time, I will look at staying in The Wynn.

Went to Lake Tahoe last year and it was amazing. Although we went there ski-ing. To be honest, most of our good holidays have been ski-ing, so can't advise on summer destinations really. Although I did HATE Bulgaria. Unappreciative wankers the lot of them. Nothing but attitude from the locals all week.

+1 for the Bulgaria bit. Oh and Tahoe is awesome too.
