:j just over 3 weeks till our 3rd trip to Vegas, can't wait. A few of us are going over for a tattoo convention, it's going to be a painful trip!

Has anyone been to the Vegas Costco? is it doable on public transport? would it be better to get the deuce downtown then get a taxi to costco?

We went to A Vegas Costco but I'm not sure it was the only one. We drove from the north premium outlets and it probably took us 10-15 mins if I remember correctly

Did our shop at Walmart to bring goodies home, use the one on Eastern at the end of the runway this time, much nearer than going out to Charleston, and picked up this, got to be the best food product I ever brought back.

Yummmmmmmmmm!!!

at first glance i though that it said 'roast beef'....:eek:

Hi all - thanks for all the responses in the redistribution of the 'bubble books'

joaniemerc got the number (23) spot on but is not going until December so has agreed to wait until we're back to have one of the remaining books sent to her so someone going sooner can have hers now.

second and third are daxllama and Doodlebug - each 6 numbers away...if either cannot fulfill their obligations by Friday (i.e. PM me their address) then if one remains it will go to pebbles...if two remain I have to figure out a tie-breaker

Very pleased that the books will get used

joaniemerc you should play roulette in December!

Pebbles are you going again before December?! That must add up to at least half a year in Vegas, I'm not jealous........

Thanks Ferf for sharing out the booklets Kindness will come back to you in the form of a great slot bonus with 3 retriggers, that will include a screen of wilds!!

My title is a bit of a giveaway, but I and my chap are off to Vegas in March and I am VERY EXCITED

I have waded through much of the thread, but haven't seen anything relevant to my particular query (forgive me if I've missed it if anyone's covered it before). I've booked us in to The Platinum for six nights, and have been told that the rate they've given me over the phone for a standard suite - $142 per night plus taxes - is their discount rate.

Does anyone have any tips for getting this cheaper elsewhere? Or for getting an upgrade when we check in? Any information gratefully received.

awesome hotel though, happy to answer any questions you may have... love talking about it [/QUOTE]
Hi we are stopping at the Vdara in a couple of weeks :j.Have been to Vegas once before and stopped at MGM Signature suites.Fancied the Vdara this time as its bang in the middle of the strip.Only thing is that we didn't have to pay a resort fee at MGM and at the Vdara its about $20 a night (i'm hoping thats not each ?) !
Does the deluxe room have 2 bathrooms?
Is there free water provided at the pool?
Do you have to pay for sun loungers?
Any tips will be greatly recieved

Four months in 2011.
A bit too long for me this time. We'll be limiting it to three months next year. (or a bit less if I get my way.)

I love Vegas and want to buy a place there, but the hotel hopping gets me down after a while.

On a more positive note, we will be there three weeks from today. WooHoo!!!!!

Hi,

Long time lurker on this forum.

My girlfriend and I are going to Vegas for the first time on November 24th (thanksgiving) staying at the Luxor for a week.

I've got a couple of questions if anyone can help.

Will we have to book somewhere to eat because it's thanksgiving and if so any recommendations for thanksgiving dinner?

Also, I plan on booking a lakeview delux room at the bellagio for our last night as a surprise. Therefore will have to check out Luxor a day early. Will there be any charges because of this?

Lastly is it true the black Friday sales start on thanksgiving?



Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated.
