On the subject of Smartervegas has anyone else thought that the site isnt getting updated as regularly as it used to be, and I dont seem to be getting as many emails from them either

I get emails every 2 weeks

Loved the trip report Ferf! I had to save it to my computer to read it because I don't have Word and I will be keeping it to read before my November trip so that I know where to go for my first time thank you.

great trip report jadamcp thanks for posting. where is the Abercrombie and Fitch you mentioned, think you said Town Square? is this one better value than the ones at FSM and Caesars? Always end up spending a fortune in both these.

Fashion Show Mall was visited in the afternoon, spent about $150 in Macys, OH was also looking for a wedding outfit for our daughters wedding, no luck on this occasion either a Macys or Dillards.

Hope you availed yourself of the 10% off card for foreigners.....often they will just discount it at the till without needing to go to CS for the card.

Love shopping in Vegas with no need for a car.

You went to lots of shops outside of the strip.....how did you travel?

As someone else posted the dealers will help you (they want your money) altho a quieter table is best, most players will also help but a busy roullette table is prob not the place to start.

Most casinos offer lessons on various tables at various times of the day

odly though last time i was there a lot less lessons were being run than in previous years
i think plan-ho was doing some at around 11am,

the hard one is craps, you realy need lessons on this, the rest youcan pick up the basics as you go, but a novice on a crap table trying to learn and play at the same time really slows down the game momentum and they always end up loosing big bucks

It's Tuesday my second day back at work and the funk has hit me, brought forward my planning for my next trip from November to September, run through my cards and I can get 10 nights in Harrahs for $212 inc tax middle of the month (5 nights comped).

Flights are as everyone else is finding are more expensive £690 for VA with no availability for miles+, can get in to LA for £543.

I will probably book the room and wait to see if there is any movement on the flights, a risk as it is UK peak season for going there but I'm a gambler and will take the risk.

I will hire a car as I don't think I can do Vegas without one as I like to get around and I find that the car hire pays for itself when totted up against what I can spend on taxis.

I'm not keen on staying mid strip but at that price I can rough it.
