Deal for Absinthe book by 20th November for shows to 1st April.

General Admission tickets for $64.90 (regularly $105.05). Fees: $7.90 per ticket will be additional.

But I did check, and for 2 tickets through Best of Vegas (this offer) it's only $44 cheaper using this offer than booking direct via Ticketmaster without any promo codes...so if there are still any $20-off codes out there, not much in it. It's a bit sneaky to me, as those tickets aren't regularly $105.05 that I can see - not through ticketmaster, at least...and not on bestofvegas.com...

Not long for me now, fly out for first Vegas experience on Monday, I think I've left it to late to get an LVA coupon book, is there anywhere I can pick a copy up in Vegas? I've been on the website an tried to purchase a copy to pick up but it won't let me do that.

Any last minute advice or vouchers I can print and take let me know, I've got all the links from page one, I cannot wait.

Thanks for everyones brill advice on here it's really useful, Nat.

not sure why it won't let you purchase one? I've done a dummy purchase - not paid obviously, but it let me get that far at least...

I would imagine you could go to their office to pick one up - if they still have 2011 books available...map and address details here.

I then put both our cards in together and got comp nights at Ballys, and Rio for our dates and various other comp nights for other dates

How do you combine 2 cards? My GF has a card but she's not coming with me on the next trip but would be interested in trying the combination of both cards to see if rares come down

When you put in both TR numbers it states that both cardholders have to be present at check in.

agree with Luci that both members have to be present at check-in. You could try a dummy booking just to see what impact it has on the rates if you're just curious - put your GF's TR number and postcode in the companion boxes.

Question regrading drinks at casinos, can you really order anything you want? I've read through all of the cocktaildoll website and I just find it really hard to get my head around!

Usually excludes premium drinks e.g. 20 year port or malt. But all soft drinks and drinks with mixers eg vodka and coke, and beers eg Bud, SamAdams, and wine are free. Just tip the girl a dollar per drink.

They way it usually happens is generally you can't order certain premium brand drinks, e.g. vodka redbull will be house vodka and something like Sobi or rockstar. Some tell you, some don't, if you want redbull you have to payfor it. Most redbull served in cocktails is post mix and not cans.

Other premium brands (and I've seen it) Hennesy XO and coke!!!! they'll do it but charge. Obviously if you're a valued customer or playing in the high stakes area or salon prive then you do get it for free/ tip, but a dollar tip don't do it. Also rumored but not experienced it myself some of the drinks aren't as strong as one might expect. The other side of it is when it's quiet and you've been a steady customer all evening and a decent tipper they may well tell you they're going off shift and load you up with doubles and even trebles knowing you'll give a booster on the tip.

I don't really drink but am partial to a tall G&T on hot nights, we tipped the barman $20 after dropping a royal, it was all we could do to stop him loading up our drinks. It was more for the taste than the alcohol in my case. He even brought his relief over to introduce him!!

Okay, thanks. I would usually drink things like Malibu and coke, or Southern Comfort, or else cocktails. Would I be charged for these? I'd just like to know before I go.
