    The problem with this place though is that many people like to give advice - but how many have actually experienced what they are advising? I sometime wonder.

    Sorry, that seemed to be you suggesting that people who had posted cautions about Laughlin hadn't actually been there...must be my mistake then.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I can see how you could relate what i wrote to some argument/debate about Laughlin.

    It wasn't meant in that way.

    Must admit, it took longer than I thought for the new thread, I owe the missus a pint now!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    From what I have read the charges will be for transactions when using a debit or cc card but cash withdrawalls will still be free.

    Thanks for that - I hadn't heard that...it won't affect our trip in April but after that...hmmm...may need to look into alternatives.

    I don't think the amount they take is a huge amount, but still it is a shame as this was always one of the best cards to take on holiday with us.
