Vegas in October with the boys.

 

Couple Dons trips in summer hopefully.

 

Planning a week away in March/April. Not sure where yet. My mum's just bought a place in Southern France so might go over for a nosey.

 

Where in Southern France? One of the best places on the planet in my experience so well worth a visit, I would recommend.

 

Why is Las Vegas so popular? A guy in our local goes over every year. I've never been but don't understand the attraction?

Me neither. Went a few years ago at mates wedding. Id go back to check out the canyon and Hoover dam but the casino side of things was a bit meh.

 

Fremont Old Vegas was the highlight from a casino perspective.

More South/west tbh. Rural setting pretty close to Bordeaux. I've only ever been to Paris in France so the idea of just chilling out exploring the area and drinking wine certainly appeals.

 

Vegas - I've been a few times, it's turned into a regular break with the boys every 2/3 years. Depends what you like but I think it's a great place. Lots to do, great restaurants and attractions and cracking for nights out. Plenty to do in the vicinity too.

I was in Bordeaux 20 years ago for the World Cup v. Norway and it's a lovely city. I'm biased because France is my favourite country in the world for many different reasons but Les Landes, south of Bordeaux and all the way through Biarritz and towards Spain is a magical area. Frejus and St Raphael is my favourite part of the Cote d"Azur, rather than Cannes and St Tropez which gets more attention, fuck knows why for the latter.

 

I have a feeling that I will never visit Vegas. It's more than a feeling actually, I just know.

Your money goes a long way down in Fremont, loved staying there last year but then I did like staying on the strip the year before too but if you're there for 5+ days your money will last longers in the older casinos plus you get treated better in terms of service.

 

If I'm to go back this year I might stay at a couple of hotels as I've got a couple of deals to use at MGM properties.

A WEEK in Vegas has become a rite of passage for tosser blokes, it has emerged.

Men who are too into themselves confirmed that a ‘lads’ week’ in Las Vegas was now essential for anyone hoping to become a fully-fledged tosspot.
Estate agent Stephen Malley said: “I am a massive tosser, which is something I’m proud of. But I don’t take any younger wannabe tossers seriously until they’ve ‘dropped £8k in a night’ in a massive corporate casino with no windows.
“I’m all about wasting large sums of money, claiming to drink more than I actually did and then sleeping with a prostitute who steals my trousers.
“Vegas baby!”
Office worker Tom Logan said: “My boss constantly boasts about how he spent a five-figure sum in one night on a Blackjack table.
“But from the way he explained it, it became clear that he just didn’t understand the rules and was essentially bragging about being a stupid idiot.
“Also, Blackjack is really just Pontoon.”

Daily mash still exists? Amazing.

Let's be honest, Vegas IS for tossers. In fact I have never met a guy I like who says it's a great place. I have met plenty of mutant arseholes who do like it on the other hand.

Marseille is shit

 

Filthy and full of wogs needing to rob you

 

Absolutely. A scary place. Even Toulon down the road, a beautiful old port has the same elements of Islamic thieves.

 

Beyond Toulon all the way through to Nice on the coast is fantastic and inland to Grasse and the Gorges of Verdon, awesome too.

Looks incredible

Not not been there but I can imagine the topography will be as spectacular as the Gorges of Verdon.

 

The Dordogne area is where we need to explore next. It was Bretagne (Brittany) in the NW that first turned us on to France so not surprised you enjoyed Bayeux (even though I've not been there).

Get a fucking grip lads eh. Some incredibly pretentious guff getting chatted on this thread.

My holiday before that one I spent £700 in a Warsaw brothel with 3 sensational weemin and a renowned opera singer.

 

Is that better?

 

The Hat is for all. Apart from blacks and Huns and gays and WANKS and police and

There's worse places that attract tossers than vegas, Dubai being the worst I imagine, such a fake place and the ultimate status holiday. I like Vegas mainly because there's so much to do especially now with the sports teams coming there, once the Raiders are set up I'll be looking to go twice a year to take in games.

Lol. Dubai is another place I have never been to nor will I ever visit.

 

No such thing as a "status holiday". That exists only in the minds of the sick.

Was in Bayeux last year (NW France) and it was one of the best places Id ever been. The locals couldnt do enough for you. It was beautiful and hot and had virtually no tourists.

I've ran the Marseille marathon.

 

PB too.

I'd rather be in Blackpool munching sausage, egg and chips with real people than in France munching some filthy foreign muck with a bunch of pretentious Aberdonian poofs

 

I had the misfortune of staying in Blackpool one night. I stay in St Annes at least once a year but holy fuck. They're not "real" people.

Smashed straight through it en-route.

 

Piner. My old man in his 40's did 3 hrs 2 minutes in the first London Marathon and I could smash fuck out of him from the age of 15.
