    $25 voucher for $20...:( OK, with the 50% code, it's $10...but I miss the good old days. Means that the trick of buying a gift certificate with the 80% off code, then buying the $25 certificate is that much better...though we think the quantities available that way are limited.

    Oddly, the $50 voucher is also $20, though obviously the higher minimum spend discussed...
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Guess i'll be doing 4 burgers + massive cocktails!
    Although in terms of drink, best i just gamble and get 'tip' drinks instead! :) 5 of us should be able to get the bill over $100 i reckon anyway in Sburger.... gonna have to do some serious walking when i am out there to burn off all the nice food am gonna be eating!!!!

    My Sunday night plans in Vegas is this: Get to Ellis island for around 8pm, hopefully get in the BBQ by half 8, and then by 10pm, be destroying peoples ears on the karaoke! Or should we get there earlier ? (be 7 of us...)

    Whenever we've been to Ellis Island we've got there about 6, seated around 7 and in between won a couple of hundred $$$ in their casino.
    That was our luckiest place gambling wise last year. There's a bank of slots along the wall by the toilets and I was playing this rockstar one and a load of speaker symbols dropped in. It started going mental and a few minutes later when it decided to stop spinning i was $200 better off.

    We then went onto the craps table as it was empty and the fella working the table kindly told the missus how to play. What he didnt tell her was how to throw the dice and she must have launched 4 or 5 pair of dice across the casino missing the table completely.

    I would say no chance. For 7 of you, get there an hour (at least) before you want to eat

    That is so funny. Bet that wouldnt have gone down to well on a busy table elsewhere, I have been the only one playing roullette and blackjack in Ellis Island, the tables have never been busy when Ive been there.

    In all the years I have been going to Vegas, I still havent tried Craps, all the whooping and hollering scares me.

    Don't know about Sunday, but the Thursday we went last month we arrived about 8 and it was a 2 hour wait...and there were 2 of us.

    You won't stay in the BBQ for an hour and a half though...very unlikely.
