    Thanks duchy, any idea how much on average they ask for?
    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always get so....this year I'm going to do things differently!

    Hi - I asked this at Open Vegas but as there's not much traffic there, and as some of you folks may be able to help I'm cross-posting. :)

    LVA MRB - Riviera Slot Match Play - just wondering if anyone knows how this one works - Play $20 get $10 or play $50 get $30.

    It's the 'get $10' and 'get $30' I'm confused about - how they do this...I know some places (EI for example) you play $10 and within 24 hours you will be credited with $10 free play. I wasn't sure how the Riviera one worked? If it's similarly credited sometime later or dealt with another way?

    Thanks very much for any insight...we can check when we get there, but would be nice to know in advance.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I don't know, sorry. I'll try to find out. I do know that previous Riviera offers have been on "special" machines. That's why we've not bothered with their offers before.

    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.

    Hi there, my friends and I are looking to hire a car to cruise the area for a day or 2 whilst we're out there in November. Could anyone be so kind as to guide me in the direction of some reliable companies I can liaise with online?

    Many thanks.

    Depends what you are after ? if its just a normal car the all the major rental companies are out there or use a company like Carhire3000 who will search for you (always try direct as well as CH are not always cheapest)
    If you are looking for exotica (Corvette / Ferrari / lambo ect ) then there are a few places up and down the strip that rent but a couple of days will not be cheap.

    Hi, we were thinking of a Mustang/something similar - there are 7 of us in our party so we'd probably try to split the cost.

    I think hertz have a premium selection that includes the mustang as i was looking at getting a car for a day or 2 myself. never used them myself though so not sure what they are like.

    We had a Mustang convertable in Florida from Hertz - I have just looked it up and for 2 days in September it would cost you £116 for a GT (4.6 V8) using their reserve exact model.
    http://www.hertz.co.uk/rentacar/reservation/gaq/index.jsp?targetPage=whatView.jsp (scroll down)
    Make sure you use an exact model booking rather than an "or similar" booking
    The blurb says 4 passengers but if you are tall then in reality the mustang will only take 2 in comfort, the back seats do not have much leg space at all.

    Or if you really want to push the boat out try these.
