I stayed at the Siggy earlier this year and would go back like a shot, you did see the offer that Luci posted a couple of days ago didn't you.....

I booked the Flamingo for next week at $73 on F&F rate a couple of weeks ago-for a Go room-best price now for the same dates is $165 !! :eek:

I did Stew......our stay is seven nights which coincidentally is the number of nights required for the $300 credit

Gotta eat somewhere so it may as well be in the MGM. Thats about $40 a night Ive mentally subtracted from the $129 room rate. Plus the missus uses the gym every day and I use tinternet every day, and theyre both thrown in for twenty bucks, so thats another twenty bucks a night saving over other hotels who dont bundle it into the resort fee.

Im reading go for Tower 1, high strip view.....you agree? Did you try a $20?

And what about the variable levels of service there due to each room being owned and managed separately?

I didn't try the $20 as I booked a one bedroomed suite (I thought why not!!). Trying to remember which tower I was in but my memory doesn't go back that far!! I know the tower I was in was the first you came to when you walked from the MGM and had a nice bar on the ground floor. My room had a view of the airport however but I wasn't too concerned about that.

I'll have a look when I get home and work it out for you, would go back for the right price, it was nice to be away from the madness of the strip at the end of the day.

Stop asking questions when I'm replying to the last one :rotfl:

I booked through the same people that Luci's posted deal, I will admit to having had a problem when I first got there as the room hadn't been cleaned after what I can only surmise was a large party (it was at the end of March madness). A quick phone call to the number by the phones and they sent a group of cleaners up to do it straight away. After that, didn't have a problem though I don't think I got the bottles of water which didn't bother me as I prefer Fat Tire!! The wireless worked just fine all over the tower I was in.

Same as Stew... stayed again in Sept and loved it as much as the first time, were looking to go back next year whay! Sound like Stew was in Tower 1 we have stayed in Tower 2 both times but I would say any were fine we just like Tower 2 as its in the middle. Never tried the $20 trick but we did tip them to make sure we got rooms next door to each other with balconies. Im sure you will be happy with the junior room though if it didnt work there sooooo nice.

Hi everyone

Is it ok to book consecutive days on different deals and ask that they keep you in the one room?

Froggitt

December ( including Xmas and New Year )

Youll only get the one set of deals....theyll treat it as one booking.

If there's two of you book one deal in one name and the other in the other-don't link them and just ask nicely on check out/check in again day.
