    Before bed we played some slots.....still not a huge fan. Personally I feel like I need some input rather that just pressing 1 button. Star wars game seemed cool when you got the bonus. Off to bed feeling a little tipsy :)

    I am not a huge fan of slots either for the same reason as you, that why I play table games. Various types of poker, and the one game gted to lose you money, roullette. Why not try some, the dealers and other players will help you...but not on blackjack as the other players dont like it if you dont know the "rules"

    My fav game is the texasholdem poker table in The Orleans, always head there even if not staying there, you play against the dealer, all other players can look at your cards and help you, There is a $20 minimum per hand though if you play the bonus (4 x $5 bets)

    They may email you back a new confirmation with your dollar express number on it, thats all you need and then head staright downstairs at LAS

    Agree with this - but even if you don't get a new confirmation with your number on it - go downstairs anyway with your Express number - if your contract is not already printed out (one of the benefits of Express) they will print it for you.

    If there is no queue upstairs, won't really save that much time...but if there is it could save loads.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Has anyone booked tickets for O through the Bellagio Concierge?

    Im looking for some kind of discount, but there doesn't seem to be any. Suppose I will need to sign up to M-life, gamble a load in the casino, and then ask for them as a comp at checkout!

    Does that sound feasible? I'm a bit of a rookie at this game!

    In Vegas just now and tried to get booked up for a tour after seeing it mentioned on here a couple of times....they are currently booked up until 15th June so anyone out after that and wanting to go, get booking.

    With the amount you would have to play through it would be cheaper to buy the tickets.:D
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Possible link for discounted O tickets here - I haven't checked the prices to see how good a deal it is

    If you're going to gamble anyway, then yes sign up to the players club and see what happens, but as already said it isn't exactly a money saver given how much you'd have to play through for them to even consider comping your tickets!

    Haha, great minds think alike nvh...looks like we were both posting at the same time. Think the smarter vegas offer has dates up to september though so possibly worth checking out both links?

    They'll love you forever playing table poker, such a large edge to the house.
