fantastic offer that, thats your breakfast/lunch covered then for 129 a night

We looked at it but unfortunately for our dates the cheapest is $209/night...we were considering it for our last 2 nights. I'm not a big fan of resort credit as we don't like to feel locked into eating at our hotel in order to get value out of the offer, but we were thinking about it. Slot credit is our preference. I know resort credit can usually be used for show tickets as well - so anyone keen on seeing Viva Elvis could use one night's credit toward tickets - though not sure if with discounts available elsewhere it would be the best use - an option at least.

Booked up for June 19th. Agreed with Stoneman, the playboy club looks a bit tasty too. The last 2 years out there I have always said I wanted to go to the Ghostbar but never got round to it so will definately be there this year.

Us too are getting unusually organised. Just sorted this deal/reservation adn booked to go to Mix on June 30th too.

We'll balance up dining costs by spending the rest of the days getting fat on Ellis Island bbq chicken and ribs

EDIT

Quick tip - when trying to book a table on the palms website for Nove everything we selected came up unavailable. However booking on OpenTable was fine

thanks for the tip about OpenTable, we are all boooked up for June 1st now, I feel a bit too organised to and am stressing about the number of confirmations i need to print off!!

I've been considering the Nove deal for the past few days, but I'm afraid I'm not inspired by the menu even though I normally love Italian.

Not sure how you would work out the gratuity. It says it's $310 value, but as that includes access to 4 nightclubs I don't know how much the meal part would be.

we're also aboard the 'Nove Palms' train now

does it matter how you make the booking then? may also do OpenTable booking now whilst i remember if that is acceptable?

It's ok, but not as good as the current deal next door at the Vdara, from $119 a night + 50 dining credit (usable at Aria) + 2 tickets to Viva Elvis. I think you need a min of 2 night stay for the elvis tickets.

oops.... the Aria website prices need to be taken with sa pinch of salt. Depending on the price difference between the most expensive dates and the cheapest dates, if you start you holiday on a "cheap" date you can quite often get your whole stay at that price.

Our 3 days stay in the Aria came up at $139, 199, 209 (booked a different deal, Thurs - Sunday )but on booking all 3 days came up at $139. If the 209 had have been 229 then it would have remained at $229.

THe Aria site has been like that since it opened - loads of deals if you don't get put off by the initial prices.

Good call!!. Well I am sure I won't be giving them a $60 tip. $30 tops, as that sort of meal should cost about $150 for 2. I will phone them up and ask.

OK, I am back. A call to them and they say it works out at "ABOUT" $100 per person for that menu but because it is a special for travelzoo there is no exact price. So tax will be around $24, then £36 tip, not sounding such a good deal now. And the funny thing is that when I said it was the Travelzoo deal she said the tip and tax COULD be based on the $310 value. No way, I will be calling travelzoo tomorrow and either clarifying in writing or canceling.

I looked again - one night during our week is $199...the last 2 nights are both $209, so no real scope for us to get a good deal on this offer...but thanks for the tip. We were only being nosy - normally we don't spend much on our hotels. Still holding out hope for a Wynn offer - last one hubby got was the best one we have had - but ends a week before we need it.
