$96 -- Tickets to see 'Phantom' in Las Vegas, $40 OFF*

Last Update: 3/17/2010, 4:37 AM ET

Las Vegas, NV

Travel dates: Through April 30

Popular shows like "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular" at The Venetian are rarely discounted, but this deal saves up to $40 off performances through April 30.
Named the No. 1 Show in Las Vegas (2006) by The Las Vegas Review Journal, "Phantom" reunites Andrew Lloyd Webber, director Hal Prince, choreographer Gillian Lynne and others from the show's original team. This virtual all-star team transformed the show into a 95-minute spectacular, including a custom-built theater, new effects, an eye-catching chandelier experience and every song from the original production.
Side Orchestra Seats are now just $96 (reg. $136) for performances Monday-Saturday.
Click here and select the show you want to attend, then click "Buy Tickets." Enter the promotion code TZOO40 and click the "Submit Code" button. Select the number of seats by using the drop-down menu marked "TZOO40" and make sure to change the number under "Internet" to zero. Select the seating level and click "Get Best Available" to see your seats. Or call the Phantom Box Office at 866-641-7469.

A question on behalf of my son who is going to Vegas for a stag trip in June - can he use a UK debit card in the same way as a credit card? (he doesn't have a credit card) or better to get one of these pre-loaded cards? Or travellers cheques??? Not sure what to advise him.
Any advice appreciated.

Dont really understand your question as they are different types of cards, but have you read the sticky http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money

Most, if not all hotels ask for a creit card print out on check in, not sure what they do if you havent got one though

thanks again photome!
I have re-checked my OH's offer this morning and there is definately no free nights to December unfortunately. I really wish there was!!

I remember your advice last year about emailing casino marketing so I did that in January. They forwarded my email to the poker manager (as we are more poker players than gamers) and he got back to me offering me a rate that was more expensive than the ruby card rate! So much for that idea!

I have just checked our points balance on our Ruby Cards though - mine - zero, my OH 988! They dont give you points for poker (and not many for craps) and those are our games.... so we tend to lose out. Maybe this is why we havent got your deal.

Thanks for the advice though and, again, keep me in mind if you come across any non-specific deals!
Steff

maybe worth keep checking the bconnected website. I will keep my eyes open for you

Just read on another site
Golden Gate Freemont no longer has the Bay City Diner! They have installed a Du-Par's in its place. Du-Par's is an LA coffee shop chain, with nothing special in its menu.

You can use it like a credit card as long as you have a Visa or Maestro sign on it, but liked said before it won't be accepted at the front desk as security, we have been knocked back before and had to pay cash for everything in the hotel.

nice one steff, i think that has made up our mind whether to go to mandalay bay or mgm grand for our first week.

this deal works out about $80 more over the five days, but with $50 a day resort credit it makes it a better deal.
