Slightly odd question

We%26#39;ll be staying st the Paris for 14 nights and when reading a review I came across something that had me slightly worried. We will be out most days but sometime we just like to come in early, get a little room service and watch some American T.V. In the review I read the woman mentioned that there is little to no TV reception and only 2 or 3 channels. Does anyone know if this is correct? Last time we were in Vegas was the 2006 NBA playoffs and DH (English) fell in love with the game and liked to watch it in the room as opposed to in the bar. So I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this.

Slightly odd question

Relax there are more then 2 or 3 channels, this is America not a third world country, People live year round in LV and have as many amenities if not more then most major American cities.

Slightly odd question

I see my original post made me sound like an idiot :) I know there are plenty of channels to choose from in the States my point was in her review she specifically stated that there was only Fox plus 2 other channels with the rest being Casino advertising channels her thinking was that they wanted you in the casino rather than in your room. I also just saw a view which said the reception was awful and they only got casino channels and Asian speaking channels. I don%26#39;t plan to live in the room but would like to have an early night occasionally and veg in front of the tube.


When are you going? NBA season doesn%26#39;t start until Halloween. That%26#39;s the only thing you need to be worried about. :)


There are plenty of channels to watch plus casino channels plus pay per view channels. You have a good variety to watch free and the reception has always been great, the person you talk about probably had a problem with the TV or something.


People worry about the strangest things. You%26#39;re coming to Las Vegas via Hawaii and you get your shorts in a knot about TV? Calm down, you%26#39;ll get the regular network programming.

The only time I turn the damn thing on is in the morning for local news and weather forecasts while I brush my teeth and try to focus my eyes.

I%26#39;m guessing that folks can%26#39;t figure out the remote control thing-a-ma-bob. Give it a good wack and it%26#39;ll work.


When reading reviews, it is helpful to recall that sometimes people have a tendency to exaggerate in order to emphasize their point. Many Americans are spoiled by extensive cable and satellite packages with hundreds of channels in their homes, so when their Vegas hotel only has the ';basic cable'; options - 4 main networks, weather, news - they tend to get cranky. The playoffs of major sporting events are usually televised on channels you%26#39;d be able to get in your room.
