Delta had them for £317 via atlanta for 9th feb yesterday but flying on the 11th (half term) jumped up to £487. But im not meant to be going again till june 13 and aug 14. A guy I work with had two weeks in southern spain, for him wife and 3 kids all inclusive paid 4k for holiday then another 1k spending money. For 1k a head I could go to vegas, stay and have couple of hundred to spend. Trying to convience WTB that its a false economy to have a 'cheap' holiday in the med

March is the worst time to go if you want to avoid the SoCal college kids. The NCAA basketball finals are on and all the Uni lot come to Vegas to party and bet on the games. You can't get a seat in the sports books, especially around the end of the month.

What are chances of getting tickets to something along these lines? I'm quite keen to take in a sport while im there? Anybody have any other ideas?

You have to actually lose $100 before you are eligible for the refund. I thought originally that you had just to play $100 through, but that isn't the case.

I get that...and on the 1st spin if I bet black and hit red,then I've lost the required $100...it's the "covering the bet" bit I could not understand !!

Just do what every site that discusses the offer recommends. On the $100 free play, play qurter poker, JoB, max coin. Near enough guaranteed over $90 and the chance of a big win.

Video roulette.... does anyone remember the Wynn buffet offer a few years ago where it was a free buffet for a few points on your card. THe standard method was video roulette. $35 on red, $35 on black and $1 on green. In 10 spins, green came up 4 times....... don't be tempted to give it a miss! .... and of course if you do go down the roulette route you give up the chance of a big win.

The $100 Cosmopolitan Slots Rebate
Can someone please explain this in simple terms !
My game is Blackjack but intrigued by the Cosmo proposition. As i understand it:
1)Sign up for Identity Card. Hand over $100. Got to video roulette and bet $100 on black/red. if I won, I walk away with $100 profit:)(that bit I get)

You need to expand your #1 point.

..Walk away with $100 profit and come back the next day and try again.

I did that one (well not that exact method but on the Wynn VR) got 2 $35 buffets for a net loss of about $8
