One last question, to stay at Caesars on the F&F deal for the last 3 nights in a standard room is $40 more expensive in total than the Paris - is it worth it? Would you think I'd manage an upgrade when on the F&F deal?

Cheers - just about to make that call to the Paris!!

Ok guys I have just booked the Venetian for 4 nights from 11th March - £402 :T

Now I have a decision to make with regards to the last 3 nights - 15th March onwards.

My head is in a spin, the OH is in the living room & I'm trying to do this quietly :rotfl:

Anyway, my options are Paris - $229 or Caesars $245 all in including taxes based on their friends & family promo. Both are standard rooms - do you think I'd have a good chance of an upgrade at Caesars on this deal?

Thanks & goodnight!!

See my previous post on Caesars standard room, which will be a Classic Rom in the Rman Tower......think shabby Holiday Inn and you'd be close. Never been to Paris, but I understand its better than a Caesars Classic Room.

If I was them, I wouldnt tarnish a great brand by giving out those sh1tty rooms......Caesars you think gold and bling and marble.....not worn bedlinen, bathtap that doesnt work, broken speakerphone, broken privacy lock on the door, carpet skirting, scratched telly cabinet, melted ice in bucket not emptied. The other towers I understand are great though.....so is the rest of the casino.

And ask for an upgrade to a carpark view room......the irony will be lost on them.

Froggit, its a shame that palazzo deal is not available right up till Sept or I would book right away, its a fab deal. Do you think it will come round again, if not if I'm booking for Sept when do you think I should leave it till ? i.e. Book around April if I'm staying in Sept ? Or when do the best deals normally appear for that time of the year ?

I didnt realise you were not gpoing till sept, I am going in march and have only just booked the last hotel and am still looking at deals with a view to change.

about 3 months out is when the best deals usually start.

For those who are looking for some other nice restaurants in Vegas I can definitely reccommend The Cheesecake Factory in the Forum Shops. The food here was lovely and at a fair price, you have to try some of the pasta! We went back about 3 times during our trip to try different things.

Needless to say they have about 60 different cheesecakes for dessert, and they even have little boxes to take it away in if you can't manage it there and then!

LCI offer for our week 7th to 14th July has Paris for $540 for a Luxury room, anyone have any experience with these?

Is it you who has booked the Strat?

I have said before that I like the Strat, but having stayed in both the Strat and the Paris. There is no comparison..If I was giving the stars out, the Paris would be 2 to 3 stars above the Strat and of course you could get a Bellagio fountain view from your rooom.

I have never managed it there and that is without having a main course first

Exaclibur rooms are famous for not having Baths ( only showers)
