    thanks in advance!

    I wouldn't take the shuttle, I am assuming you are referring to companies (like bell trans, gray line, showtime, etc). The Wynn hotel location is worst for shuttle service because it further north and it will drop off passengers at other mid to north strip hotels before stopping at the Wynn. You are probably looking at 45min-70min before getting to your hotel.

    I would just take a taxi about $20. It's a wed night, so the cab stand should go quickly or non-existent. Just ask the driver no tunnel, paradise down to desert inn road. You will get there in 15-25 min.

    You also have a few restaurants in Mandalay Bay, which is all the way south on the strip and your club/show choices are north. It's horrible trying to get back north on a busy Thurs/Fri night. For time consideration, I would just eat around the area or at the hotel where you had plan to see a show or go to a club.

    The Wynn restaurants actually have prixe fixe menu.

    For walking the strip, I would not miss the Bellagio Fountains and checking out the Lake of Dream at the Wynn chilling outside at Parasol Down.

    Besides that, I can't really see any faults in the show/club choice, looks good so far.

                I noticed you are eating at Mix & Fleur..... you can get gift certificates for both these places on restaurant.com and save some $$ ... I have used them at both places ... make sure you tell them first @ Fleur ....they were a little pissy with me about it...

                    Lol, thats funny you mention it. I chose those places based on the restaurant.com coupons I got! I paid like $9 for like $100 worth so if for some reason we don't make it to these particular spots, no biggie.

                    I'm hoping they aren't pissy with me at Fleur, what did they say? I'll raise hell!!

                    Thanks for the heads up though!

                        What jay was referring to was probably about forgetting to mention the coupon until the check came out. Usually the servers will say either non-chalantly or annoyed that you need to tell them beforehand.
                        I've used the restaurant.com coupons at other restaurants in other cities. I try to mention to my server about the coupon as soon as being seated, and there's usually no problem. It always worked except for one time where I accidentally printed out a invalid copy of the coupon (it NEEDS to have the certificate # on the coupon)

                        As for the attitude of the server? Well it differs... sometimes you'll get a snobby one that doesn't say anything outright but you can tell the silent condescending attitude toward the coupon. But it's rare and very easy to ignore.
                        99% of the time, they'll be fine with it. They won't jump up and down for joy, but they could care less about how much you pay for your dinner as long as they get their fair tip.

                          Yea... I forgot to mention it before ... I have never had a problem with them anywhere else...and I usually do mention them rite way... but still, I spent over 500 for two people... and I actually just throw in the coupon for extra tip if i like the service..... this waiter actually followed us out of the place, and accused me of shorting him on the bill.... loudly and publicly.... well...it turned out he couldn't add.... we spoke to the manager and got invited back for free food and drinks ....never went...

                          Its a shame ...I liked the place .... but I will probably never go back...

                          moral of the story.... always mention the coupon first...

                            Wow, that sounds ridiculous. I've had my share of bad waiter experiences but yours takes the cake. I would have been so freakin mad.
