    http://www.shoplva.com/products/lva-full-membership Can I buy this by visiting the premises whilst in LV? or does it HAVE to be ordered online? Lastly, how far is this place from the strip?

    There are contact detals (with a map showing their location) here:

    http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/contact-us.cfm

    The strip is a few miles long, so how far their office is from the strip depends on where you're starting and what route you take.

    From mid-strip, it's almost 2 miles driving (maybe less walking, maybe)...but if you take the free shuttle to Rio it's probably 1/2 a mile from there...but if you have a car, it's not far at all.

    Oh, and I don't know if you can buy it from the office - maybe someone else does, or maybe call or email them and ask.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Planet Hollywood has a 10 night pass for accommodation for $599 dates from 15th Nov through 15th March
    Planet Hollywood just announced an innovative special: For $599, stay 10 nights on any day with no blackout dates or resort fees. Take 10 separate trips, or use all 10 days in one stretch. This even includes an upgrade to their Hollywood Hip room with original movie memorabilia in every room.
    This offer includes weekends, Super Bowl Sunday, and even New Year's Eve when rooms on The Strip are usually $300 for that one night.

    Thanks for this.

    I urgently need to know if I can go into the office and buy it? The problem is we fly out tomorrow and the offices are closed at the weekend.

    I selected the 4th option (LVA Online Membership - Hold MRB for pick up 2009) and went to checkout. It asked me to specify my name address, which was fine.

    The confusing part is it's asking for a Shipping address, which worries me. Do i put my home address in? Do i put the office address in? No idea how it works.

    If anyone can offer any help, that would be terrific.

    If you've chosen the option to pick up (double check that you have)...just tick the box that says ship items to the billing address to avoid having to put in a shipping address. Your confirmation will specify that you chose to pick it up at their office so print that and take it with you.

    Now, if spare days are transferrable, that would be good......

    I can't see this selling well at all. Most Americans only go for a few days, and us lot usually only go for a week, so who are they aiming it at is my question.
    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.

    I chose the 4th option and it says

    LVA Online Membership / Hold MRB for pick up 2009
    $37.00

    The tick box you're talking about says "Ship to above billing address".

    If you leave the fields above blank, it will not continue to the next page. If i put my own address in, it'd be pointless.

    What if i put the hotel address in? Surely there has to be an option to "pick up" as the payment option implies.
