Hi

When i booked Signature through booking.com i had 2 options.. slightly cheaper junior suit with no cancellation ..or a few $$ more for the below option

If cancelled up to 2 days before date of arrival, a fixed amount of USD 25.00 will be charged.
If cancelled later or in case of no-show, the total price of the reservation will be charged.

Although when i look for this years dates i dont have the "slightly cheaper no cancellation option"

All rental car agencies are at the consolidated facility now - so all require you to get a shuttle...edited to add - now all agencies use the same shuttle, so in some ways better than the old days where you saw a shuttle for every agency but yours go by (usually 3x)

If you sign up for Dollar Express (free) you can then skip the queue at the desk upstairs at the facility and go straight down to the counter by the cars - can save a lot of time.

well, that was supposed to link to their Quicksilver programme but apparently not.

No idea how these sort of programmes work outside of the US though.

LOL, I signed up for all of them!! Avis, Budget, Dollar,Thrifty,Hertz. I don't know what the ground floor of the car facility looks like now. Avis one is cool, you just swipe your members card in a machine, it kicks out all of your documents and gives you the number of the bay your car is in. You just get in and drive off, signing at the exit barrier

So it works even if you rent through a 3rd party? When we picked up a car at LAX from Thrifty they wouldn't let me use the kisok thingy since I'd booked through a 3rd party and had a voucher.

I had something like what you mention for Avis with Hertz when I lived in the US - but there you walked up and there was a big electronic board with names and bays and you just went to your car...it was great.

The Dollar shuttle at ORD takes you straight to your car...it alwys makes me feel special.

hi guys, we are going to be staying in the signature but wanted to cancel at last min if a good deal or an offer came around. looked at booking.com and they dont offer this. Does anyone know if the main site offers this?

If you do book direct dont forget to use the best for 2010 code that Luci posted (BST10) like it did doh! You can still cancel up to 48 hours before when using this, it saved us quite a bit!

Hi everyone, I am in Vegas in April and just wanted to know if anyone has ever been to see the LV51s Baseball Team. I know there are games during my stay and really wanted to go. I know they are Minor League, just wanted to see if anyone has been. Thanks very much.

Anyone stayed there yet? All the reviews I have read have been bad.

Just got back from Vegas and whilst looking round City Centre (which is amazing) we popped into Aria to look at a room in case we wanted to stay there when we go back in April (on business this time)

Obviously the room was in great condition, being brand new. It just resembled an airport waiting room - no character at all, sterile and cold as far as I was concerned. Size wise, it seemed a little more spacious than a standard room at Bellagio, but that could have been because of the modern furnishings
