    2 free nights, upgrade to Encore which we took and $75 freeplay...not as good as the summer offers we couldn't use, but we aren't complaining. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    What if there were 4 of us? Would ENVY allow a table to redeem 2 of these?


    ....same questions applies to other deals, they all seem to be for 2 persons but do not stipulate a maximum of one per table.


    .....& what do you enter as the billing address??

    The Travelzoo offer for Envy is per 2 people so I can't see a problem with 4 people with 2 vouchers at one table.

    Which other deals are you referring to?

    Just a heads up, as Luci has mentioned in the past you will have to pay the tax @ 9 percent and they will expect a minumum 18 percent tip on the $164 value.
    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.

    You must do some heavy gaming there on the quiet. :D I thought you spent most of your time at HET properties.

    Hi We are going to Las Vegas on the Labour day weekend. While there we want to go to the Whelen night at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Has anyone got any tips for using public transport to get there and back?
    I will use a taxi if necessary but I figure that may be a nightmare on the way back!
    Any tips gratefully received.

    I know a few hotels do run shuttles out there, Golden Nugget for one, the Sahara did before it closed.

    Perhaps contact your hotel concierge who may have a smart move up their sleeve, I'm sure if they get enough interest from a location they may well arrange something.

    There are busses from the North bus station served by the deuce, check your bus route on www.rtcsouthernnevada.com, they have a route planner on there and various maps.

    Even though buses run out to NLV it is NOT a place to be strolling around!!! :eek: Please do not even entertain the idea of getting a bus out to Nellis and walking the rest of the way. It's about a 3 or 4 mile walk!!!

    Your chances of getting a bus there and then getting a taxi the rest of the way aren't good either.

    Please do not entertain this idea. Stick to arranged shuttle buses or taxis. You could try these numbers for the shuttles Action Racing Shuttles (702) 367-4141 or Keytours of Las Vegas (800) 261-2691.

    Ha! Not really...remember a few years ago (2007, I just checked my email) when someone (I really should look back who it was - maybe trets? nvh?) found that misprice on hotels.com? We got a panoramic view room at Wynn for £47. My hubby had a silly run on a slot (Wild Taxi) that night and won back both of our losses for the day and then some...but played for ages and ages and ages at higher than normal bet as he kept winning and kept pressing his bets.

    Since then he regularly gets these 2-nights free offers, last couple have had $100 or $150 freeplay...or once was $49/night with $150 freeplay over 3 nights (so free room, really). We play there the nights we stay there, but that's it...but I guess that we play enough those days for them to keep sending him the same offer.

    we play the same as we would wherever we stay really.

    Hi.

    Has anyone ever done a horseback ride?
    I've seen some advertised, one in particular which is horse trek with some cowboys into Red Rock Canyon with a barbecue at the end. The reviews seem excellent, but was wondering if anyone had done anything like this and if they could recommend a good company/tour?

    Also, any recommendation for a flight/helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon would be great.

    Thanks in advance.
