Expertise
I can answer any questions on any Vegas casino and their amenities, I can tell you how to get the best rates and the best rooms and advise on which hotel is best for you. I can advise on all aspects of gaming,and comping. I am an expert in buffet dining (and it shows ;-), on trips from Vegas as well as shows and other entertainments in the City. I can also advise on travel from the UK when to go, what to do and what not to do and can suggest other places to visit alongside a Vegas holiday.
Experience
I have been to Vegas on over a dozen occasions and have stayed in many hotels on and off strip, this includes an almost totally comped 5 night stay at NYNY without gambling more than $25 per hand !
I have almost every book ever published on Las Vegas and continually read everything I can both on and off line on it.
Education/Credentials
I have 6 'O' levels, a HNC, I am ITIL acredited and am a qualified martial arts instructor
