Canadian Style Coffee ?

Hello to all:

Thanks for all the amazing info on these forums.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me where

to find some coffee that would remind me of home.

In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) we have a

'; Tim Horton%26#39;s '; on just about every corner.

We also have Starbucks, but I%26#39;m not a fan.

It seems at least in Ontario that our taste in

coffee is somewhat different.

I%26#39;m hooked on Tim%26#39;s and haven%26#39;t found anything

like it in my 2 previous trips to Vegas.

I%26#39;ll be downtown for 3 nights, LVH for 3 nights

and the last 2 at MGM.

You will not find drinkable coffee in Vegas if you are hooked on Tim%26#39;s like me. You can%26#39;t even get real cream, just some awful oily crap called %26#39;non dairy %26#39; creamer .

Im no coffee connoisseur but you can get real cream in LV.

To find Tim Horton, go to Fremont Casino, there%26#39;s one. Have a nice trip !

The Fremont%26#39;s website shows Dunkin Donuts.

Tim%26#39;s website doesn%26#39;t have anything for Nevada.

Any suggestions other than chain stores like

Startbucks or Dunkin.

My husband also loves Timmy%26#39;s coffee. He goes there everday. A couple of years ago when we went to vegas, he brougth a mini coffee maker and tim%26#39;s in his suitcase. When I went with my sister, she really liked Seattles Best coffee. They have a few different blends and there are a few locations on the strip, not sure about downtown.

Damaged,

I really like to buy and grind my own but there are some good quick options too.

I don%26#39;t know about where you live but I was able to find Illy in Vancouver. If you like Illy there is a coffee bar at LVH with Illy.

I sure like Tim Horton for chain coffee too, and I am also not a fan of Starbucks. Maybe we have similar tastes you can find a brew you like.

Sorry, but there is no coffee shops that I have found yet that compares to Tim%26#39;s. I have been to Vegas 5 times and have tried various shops. Dunkin Donuts is not bad, hate Starbuck%26#39;s, might surprise you but McDonald%26#39;s coffee is alright also.

Just have a couple of Tim%26#39;s in the airport to tie you over.

There are no Tim Horton%26#39;s in Vegas. I know cause myself and a (rich) friend (owns 2 in Calgary) has been working on getting a Tim%26#39;s in Vegas for over 3 years now and there is just no way they will allow this.

Cheers,

No Timmies in Vegas? Shameful, outrageous! Damagedbutgood we north of the border share your pain/addiction. When in Vegas I survive on anything with caffeine in it. As long as my mudslide tastes good, my coffee doesn%26#39;t have to!

I prefer Tim Horton%26#39;s over Starbuck%26#39;s as well. When in Vegas I find McConald%26#39;s coffee the best for me. Hard to believe but true!

Thanks to all that responded. I brew my own

Tim%26#39;s at home. Not exactly like the store but

I%26#39;ve got it to where I like it and I%26#39;m the only

coffee drinker at home.

We rented a house in Florida for ten days a

couple of years ago and I took Tim with me.

Gerolamy1, I probably will get a mini

machine because it is 8 nights. I was trying

to avoid this for luggage reasons.

Seattle%26#39;s Best has 1 location that I could find.

Shrinkgirl, I%26#39;ll check out the Illy at LVH.

BRGuy33, I%26#39;ve had Dunkin and it will do if need be.

I haven%26#39;t gone to McD%26#39;s since the kids were small

so I%26#39;ll give that a shot also. Tell your friend to keep

plugging away because the Canucks need Tim.

Thanks to all, I%26#39;ll report back.

Orleans Hotel guest room question

Has anyone stayed in the Orleans Hotel recently?

How are the showers in the guest rooms? Is the water temperature good? I mean do you get lots of hot water when you need it? And how are the beds?

Are they soft or firm or in between??

Orleans Hotel guest room question

Orleans has the shower/tub combination. Water pressure is OK, and I didn%26#39;t notice any problem with the temperature control. One nice thing about Orleans is that they have a window above the tub, which you can open for fresh air.

Beds seemed average to me. Not up to the standards of a top-end hotel, and if anything a little soft.

Orleans Hotel guest room question

I%26#39;ve stayed at The Orleans several times and they have always had plenty of hot water and the best water pressure there. The beds are about medium to me but I hate the way the beds are made. When you pull downtown the spread, the bottom sheet comes untucked. I have no clue why they make their beds this way but it%26#39;s been like this since I%26#39;ve been going there. Overall, The Orleans is a very nice place to stay with plenty of things to do there. It%26#39;s pretty much self contained, enjoy!

Copied from ';Cheapo Vegas'; one of my favorite irreverant Vegas websites

';The bathrooms are decent, but not fancy. There is enough space to spread out, or lie against the cool floor when you think you%26#39;re going to puke. The toilet and tub/shower are in an enclosed room while the sink and hanger rack are open to the room. A really neat touch is the little window in the tub/shower that opens to the outside world, so you can yell at people in the parking lot while you bathe. We usually yell, ';Come on up, the water%26#39;s fine!';

Full review....

www.cheapovegas.com/vegas_casino_full.php…

One thing to be aware of - we found that the tub did not drain properly, so you ended up in ankle deep water when taking a shower.

That grosses me out! We called maintenance but it never got fixed during our 3 day stay so I took really quick showers!

have stayed at the ORLEANS, 10 times in the last 5 years. never a problem with the room, bath,or bed. but man IMHO the pillows SUCK.

Yes, I agree the pillows suck. Also, the plastic bed cover they put on under the sheet really retains the heat and makes you sweat more than normal- or maybe it is just the alcohol?? Hmmm...

Palazzo

Against better judgement I booked rooms at the Palazzo for a bachelorette party in august, as opposed to the Wynn (where I normally stay) or TheHotel (where I%26#39;ve had great experiences with groups in the past). I%26#39;m glad to see that the reviews for the Palazzo are getting better, but I%26#39;m slightly concerned the pool area at the Palazzo looks tiny. Any thoughts? Also, has any tried the new aquavana spa at the Palazzo? I%26#39;m not sure if it%26#39;s open yet...

Thanks!

Palazzo

Rach,

I hope you get some answers. Friends and I are going in June. We got this great deal 3 nights comped and I would love to know how people liked the spa if they went.

I think you will be happy with your choice. Went to spa at Wynn last August and I have to say I wasn%26#39;t impressed. Liked Bellagio and Mandalay better.

I%26#39;m defnitely interested to hear your observations after you go! I have to say that I agree regarding the spa at the Wynn- nice but underwhelming. The aquavana spa sounds prety amazing though, and it seems like Canyon Ranch/Venetian%26#39;s attempts to compete with the qua spa @ Caesar%26#39;s.

Hi All,

Just called Palazzo Canyon Ranch and they are not quite done with the spa at Palazzo so you will need to use the one at the Venetian. So the Aquavana room is not done.

zbethg

Did they say when they expected it to be done?

I just called and they said that aquavana should be open by the end of June.

I think the operative word is ';should'; be open.

zbethg

whooops.....forgot to respond to the pool area at the Palazzo. I reviewed many Palazzo reviews on TA and they say the pool is quite nice and there are pictures. Also it connects to the Venetian pools. Check out the pictures. I think it was Tokoyo Bob%26#39;s.

zbethg

Hi,

I%26#39;m not trying to be rude or anything but if it is against your better judgement to trust booking at the Palazzo then I would stay at the Wynn or TheHotel again.

Personally I like the Palazzo.....I%26#39;m just getting annoyed of all of the negative remarks about this hotel. The pool area is very nice and there is plenty of room to move around.....they say you can use the Venetian pool if you stay at the Palazzo also......so that would be a plus. We were there about a month ago (overlooking the pool area and it looked great). The pool area is not tiny IMO.

Whatever your choice....I hope you have a wonderful stay! Have fun! Lea :)

I%26#39;ve stayed at the Palazzo twice (its quickly becoming my favorite place to stay on the strip) and loved it. I%26#39;ve also stayed at the Wynn and TheHotel. For a group, TheHotel actually might be better, simply because it connects to Mandalay Bay and all of the great clubs, bars, restaurants, etc., but the Palazzo is also pretty fabulous and in a better location, IMO. The pool area is not tiny at all and also connects to the Venetian pools. I think you%26#39;ve made a great choice and your party will be a hit.

Palazzo pool area is far from tiny and beautifully landscaped. You are allowed to use the Venetian pool if you prefer but I can%26#39;t imagine why you would.

The Palazzo is fabulous. We%26#39;ve stayed there and must laugh at the negative comments. I like it so much better than the Wynn (we%26#39;ve stayed there also) , but if you think you booked it against better judgement then change to the Wynn. Who cares - do what you want to do.

Home from Vegas

so sad.....

Home from Vegas

I know what you mean. I%26#39;ve been home a week and just moping around, hehe!!!

Home from Vegas

yup. Been home since Tuesday night and my voice has yet to return home....

Nice trip report.

tryst in wynn

how much is this place to get in ?

and how much are drinks?

cocktails?

thanks

tryst in wynn

I think that the cost is like 30 bucks cover, but I%26#39;m not sure. I%26#39;ve only been there for bottle service or after being set up with entry by our host.

As for drink prices, I%26#39;m not sure but I remember they are some of the more expensive -- even by club standards. Also, they sometimes seem to be at the discretion of the bartender.

Speaking strictly of the club. It%26#39;s easily me and the group I usually travel with%26#39;s favorite place. I%26#39;d say it%26#39;s a more ';mature'; crowd than the one you would see at Pure or Body English. Plenty of barely legal and 25ish partiers, but a lot more in their late 20%26#39;s to around 40 as well. I think the design is great and the patio with the waterfall is good. Music has always been top notch when we%26#39;ve been there and I%26#39;ve found their staff to be very helpful and respectful.

IMHO, Tryst is the best club in Vegas. But, a lot of that is because it has what I%26#39;m looking for. Any club is going to be ridiculously expensive, so I don%26#39;t let whether or not I could do another club for 25-40 bucks cheaper over the course of the night get in the way of making a good decision about where to go.

In particular, I recommend their Thursday nights.

tryst in wynn

for men, is either $35 or $30 to get in, sorry can%26#39;t remember exactly.

beers were $7-$8

cocktails - $10-15

thanks

its a place i want to visit when i come over to the states

When I was there over Labor Day weekend, there was a sign that said cover for women was $20 and men was $50. I%26#39;m sure the prices were higher fo rthe holiday, but I would still expect $30-40 for men.

Bus trip from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon

I am planning to go with a group of friends and family (about 70 of us) to Grand Canyon from Las Vegas for a day trip in Dec. I was inquiring about different bus companies that would be reasonable and also reliable. Have looked into grandtourslv.com. Feedback and opinions would be appreciated.

circus circus

going down with my best friend to celebrate my birthday we will be staying at circus is anyone else going to be there from 0ct 14-20

circus circus

moka, have you been there before? How much are you paying for the room?

circus circus

i got it for 355.00 for a tower room have you stayed there already

happy birthday

have you read some of the CC reviews and posts? It%26#39;s truly a horrible place. I know not what you want to hear, better now if you have the time, budget and ability to book elsewhere you might consider doing so.

cirucs circus is the biggest ghetto in vegas. i used to stay there all the time and last time it even got to ghetto for my ghetto arse.....you should stay at riviera instead for similar rate and location

The Riv? OMG - why not just recommend the Greek Isles!

But what the heck - it%26#39;s Vegas . . . like some have done, I%26#39;d be happy mailing myself there in a box and using that as my room . . .

I am going to Vegas in November and was planning to go to Circus Circus to visit Adventuredome - any input on this?

Jaco-Holy cow, I haven%26#39;t thought of the Greek Isle in a long time. Used to make it an annual stop during our yearly ';dive night'; vegas. I will be in town in October, will definately stop in for old time sake (it is still there, isn%26#39;t it??)

Everyone who is not a vegas regular should read as many trip reports as possible on any hotel, they are thinking of booking. they are all different levels.

Flights are too costly to stay in an dump in a less than good location.

mtroh, very tackfully put.

appreciate your dog
