No, Bally's rooms don't have fridges as standard - but you can request one though may have to pay a fee.

Our room at Harrah's a few years ago didn't have one either.

Our room at Rio had one, though...think it's the only room we've stayed in in Vegas with a fridge, but it was a 'diamond' room we were upgraded to. I didn't realise that the Go rooms at Flamingo had fridges - interesting!

Venetian has a fridge, but its the kind with Coke at $5 a pop balanced on a scales that charges you when you pick the item up. Dunno i fyou can get them removed and put your own stuff in there.

Weather for the next 10 days is forecast at between 13 and 17 C. That sounds much warmer than last year.

Yes the Go rooms have fridges (normal ones not a minibar) -at least the last two I've stayed in have -both were the more expensive view/high floor type rather than the Go deluxe not sure about the others only not got upgraded once and I don't remember if it did or not.

Can confirm that the Go deluxe rooms have fridges. Very handy. Also the Flamingo was the only hotel we have stayed in that doesn't charge if you ask for a fridge to be delivered to the room. We have been charged from $6 per day at PH, £12 at Paris, to a whopping $25 per day at Encore (decided to use the old dust bin and ice machine routine for that one)
You can of course buy one at Walmart $69.00!!

Just thinking about the fridge thing. It would be really handy for us if we could find somewhere to store a load of stuff for when we come over. That would be really cool. Thinking of 2 sets of golf clubs, fridge, snow gear, water skis, all the things we have taken in the past and take up baggage allocation, especially with everyone charging for an extra piece of luggage. It would have to be fairly inexpensive, say $100 a year, but only need a cupboard or space in someones garage really. Hmmmm

I'll keep an eye out for the Orleans -bit early yet-remind me closer to the time

Probably was me who told you about casino rate there-also now they have their bconnected system online you need to sign up for it-you're likely to get at least a couple of nights comped that way (and of course if you have a Coast card each BOTH sign up so you get two lots of comped nights )
I don't gamble much and have had three lots of 2 night stays comped this year

Hi duchy - no problem - I will remind you.
Yes - I agree, the Bconnected site is really good. Me and my OH are both registered however, our only offer at the moment is $30 a night rooms midweek and I think ALL BConnected members get that anyway!
Short of quite a few $$$ on craps we only played poker at The Orleans using our Player Card and the poker entry doesnt count towards points unfortunately, so I would be VERY surprised if we got any comps at all - though, heres hoping!!!!

Thanks to all RE Delta comments. I have spoken to Delta and our plane definately doesnt have seatback movies, just overhead, so I am hoping that we dont have to pay!

Very - but you can make reservations - we always eat there our first night but call before we leave our room and make a reservation for a couple of hours later.
