    in case anyone doesn't get it, the new Groupon is for the National Atomic Testing Museum

    anyone been?

    For $14, you get two adult general-admission tickets (a $28 value).
    For $24, you get four adult general-admission tickets (a $56 value).

    We enjoyed the Atomic Testing Museum. We decided to go on a dull day, and it filled a good bit of time before the sun came out again. It's a few years ago now though. Maybe time for another visit.

    i am intrigued... having watched the LV documentary on PBS, I never realised the impact of the atomic testing to the growth of LV and found it really interesting :)

    I signed up for Total Rewards when i was there so I have an account number but I can't figure out how to logon online as it keeps asking for a ZIP code. Can anybody help?
    Have you tried your post code?
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Yes but it doesn't work. They didn't ask for our address when we signed up. Just took our name and date of birth from our Passport.

    The FAQ section says there's a new user page where you can get a pin but I cannot find that section of the website for the life of me.
  • Hi thebaroness.

    I had a similar problem with the postcode but it was a simple fix.

    In my case, I went into the 'my details' section and saw that the code they had recorded was incorrect. I updated the correct one and was able to log in after.

    Hope it works for you.

    Our 7th visit to Las Vegas

    Saturday 17th March

    Lunchtime flight from Glasgow – Heathrow with BA – OK flight with it being at least 75% full.

    A couple of hour wait at Heathrow, then onto an almost full BA 747-400 mostly with the 3 4 3 configuration in world traveller. We managed to aquire extra leg room seats in row 40 (A and B) by booking within 24 hours before but didn’t really make any difference to us on the extremely hot flight
    Food was pretty good and I had a couple of free alcoholic drinks (something I never do) Watched two movies – Latest Twilight then Contagion

    Fell asleep, woke with a migraine and felt sick for the next 3 hours and unlike some – (sorry Stoneman) didn’t want to spoil anyone’s flight next to me so spent next hour or so around the toilet area with a sick bag in my back pocket – later I also managed to spill half a cup of water onto Mrs McP,s lap but it did dry out in time for landing- phew !

    Half-hour at immigration and we pick up our cases

    No signs of any shuttles so off to GN for 2 nights, tunnelled down behind MB but very fast ad 12-15 minutes an $41 lighter we arrive _ full of green – well it was St Patrick’s Day.

    Unpacked in 30 mins , Carson Tower with a car park view but only 2 nights so who cares and out to the St Patrick’s Weekend celebrations for just before 9:45 pm, Fremont Street was so bus, a mass of Green everywhere, unfortunately my green face had gone and I was feeling a lot better now and had several beers watching an American covers band then watched the Red Not Chillipeppers who were absolutely fantastic, I have 3 of their albums and all the hits were played. It was very cold, mostly everyone had coats on except me in my short sleeves !

    Sleeping for 01:30am.

    Sunday 18th March

    Up at 06:00, out for about 7:45 – still very cold – mid 50s
    Paradise buffet in the Fremont $24 for two (forgot our voucher didn’t I, also forgot it was the start of Champagne brunch too) We did have the usual 3 – 4 small plates and lots of coffee

    Shopping at premium outlets and then Ross’s down at the Riviera, spent a lot....

    For afternoon we have a couple of hot dogs out of Nathans across the street from the Nugget

    Still not 100% tonight nearly turn back from Fitz of Laughter show but manage it - $54 total for 2 with ACG coupon plus a very average prime rib dinner but the soup was wonderful

    Fitz of Laughter in the renamed D was OK – 6 out of 10 – Kevin Burke was working in Laughlin so a comedy magician named Adam London stood in – decent show and good VFM.

    Monday 19th March

    Golden Nugget for Breakfast Buffet, great selection rounded off with desserts. ($11 with ACG 2 for 1 voucher)

    As we were still downtown we went over to Premium outlets,$300 in the Coach Shop, $150 in Juicy Couture and $50 in an Heusen – well I do like to spoil myself !.

    Pack very quickly and then its off to the Mirage for 5 nights, taxi only $23 and left our cases with bell boys then off to FSM but very quickly we realised there were no bargains here but we couldn’t really be bothered.

    Mirage room was on the 20th floor overlooking the volcano and Venetian so we were happy

    In the afternoon we shop at Ross beside MGM and spend another couple of hours in here spending $270, in Ross you can get a lot for your dollar as I have said before

    In the evening where we ate at Ellis Island Barbecue – full rack of ribs for me and were the usual fantastic, used our 4 free drinks ACG voucher.
