Agree, but at the beginning of the month there's a 50% off code - so you would actually only be paying $10 for a voucher worth $25. Or of you go the buy a gift certificate route on the 80% off sale one month, and manage to get a Stripburger voucher the following month it would be $4.

I don't know what the last bit means, but I've bookmarked the stripburger page and will keep my eye out for you guys mentioning it at the start of the month.

I've now reserved Cosmo for our first 5 nights as well as Palazzo (changed from Venetian to Palazzo as it was cheaper, lol). The 1 bed terrace at cosmo was the same price as Palazzo so I can decide between the two later..... 11 weeks to go, and I'm sure it'll keep changing. :D

Oh crap, just looked at lowcostusa website and it's a LOT cheaper. My booking is refundable, but not sure about booking with a 3rd party. Spalding - you said you've booked before? Anyone else? I've looked at their terms and it's only £30pp plus 2% to cancel up to 7 days before. Seems worth it to book with them as the saving is +£300....... any advice appreciated.....

Has anybody ever booked a suite?
There's a group of us thinking of going in April, may 4 to 6 people, and I just wondered how much they cost, how many they can sleep, and which ones, etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Which hotel are you talking about ? And what dates?
It's too vague to give you useful info with the limited info above

I like a few on here are finding the Cosmopolitan coming out rather good as lowcostusa I have booked with them before with no problems, like the idea of the balcony!

I've only once had a balcony in Vegas -I loved it

I've done it. I've booked with lowcostusa :eek:
I emailed Cosmo to ask if they'd match the rate, but they replied (very nicely) that they couldn't. I'm a little nervous about it, but figure for the £99 deposit, it's worth it for the saving.

Hi just after some advice rearding isas please. I have an isa with first direct which will mature in april 2011. In previous years , when my isa has matured, i have taken the money and interset out and reopened another isa for the next tax year with whoever offers the best rate.Reading more into this thread i wonder if i have been going about things the wrong way.
Should i have left the money in an isa and not taken it out? just transfering it to another isa? if i tranfer 2010 isa into another isa can i also open up another isa with the same company or can i add to it for the next tax year 2011 ?
It's all very confusing and i would be glad of any advice. Thank you

indeed it is all very confusing... and postingon the las vegas forum isn't going ot make that any easier.
advice from here would be to withdraw all your money and put it on a craps table...however to your question
1 NEVER take money out of an isa, as you cant put it back in, only ever take it out if you need it to spend it. Transfer it from one to the next to get the best intrest but never take it out if you can avoid it
2 you can only open one isa in a finanical year.

I was thinking of booking there a car too, they have great offers. However, is anyone familiar with their T&C. I can't find how much third party liability is covered. Somebody claimed it is just 10.000$ and this would obviously not enough if I have an accident. Can such an event also be covered by a travel insurance?

Many thanks
