Sitting at McCarran waiting to board our first flight to Dallas.

Put $5 into a 1c machine at the airport and it hoovered it up. Moved to a 1c Sirens machine, put in $5, had 30c left and it hit for $129! Nice one! Took the money and ran.

What a nice way to end your hols luci:D

Hope you both have a safe trip home x

Hi,

A group of us are looking to go out to LV in October for a mates 40th birthday. A couple of us a regulars so we have a rough idea of what we want. We've done the big casinos before but we're looking to save a bit of money on the rooms this time.

We're thinking of Bills at the moment (cheap, great location and good reviews). I've had a look around but can't seem to find any promos for this hotel - do they do promos or are we better just to book directly?

there you go , a Bill's offer 3 posts back :T:T:T

like others have said Bill's is a very tiny Joint in Vegas terms so they often don't need to shift rooms .



BTW saw STAR TREK tonight ....very very good , and everyone came out saying WOW that was brilliant . i am no Trekkie and a pretty harsh film critic , and i give it 2 thumbs up

Completely off topic , i am no Trekkie but i will be going to see the new Movie after The Times gave it a 5 star review, cause any film getting 5 stars from The Times is a very rare event indeed . the last one was 3 years ago i think (United 93).

Just been to see the film, reading this post earlier inspired me to go....and it was absolutely brilliant.:T:T:T

If anyone is looking for a cheap (pretty tacky in a fun way) place to stay, I recommend Excalibur! They have some cheap deals on their website it's centrally located and usually a pretty good deal!

Hi

I am going to Vegas next week, I dont have a credit card with any available cash, my mum is going to pay for my hotel accomodation before I go, which we will do online, which companies can I use to book before I go that take payment immediately.

I normally use Late rooms, but I always have to pay on arrival. I will have cash so would prefer to pay by cash, but will they ask for a credit card automatically.

All help appreicated.

Thanks

And this from the guy who paid $40 for breakfast at Bouchon! I agree, there's one born every minute. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm as bad, one day it's a $200 meal at Switch and a couple of days later it's $3.95 breakfast at La Salsa Cantina.

Hardly the same thing, but nice try.;)
I forgot to mention the reason for the $40 bill. I had 1 coffee at $3.00 then Tracy had 2 cappucinos at $5.00 each!! But of course they don't put the hot drinks prices on the menu. The rest of the stuff was quite reasonable, pastry basket of 4 huge pastries was $14, and parfait was $5
