Whats that all about??

Good deal though, and i`m getting a good rate of 59bucks a night for when i want to stay.

I read that too, so had a look at what other people have said:

Some say yes, some say no.
No further on really.

ummmm see what you mean.

i suppose if they let you book it ,at the worst like someone mentions on that forum , you could sign up for a players card before checking in.
It is a really good deal.
from 28/04/07 to 03/5/07 it quotes 434dollars..

Offer based on availability, is non-transferable and has no cash value. Offer valid only for Aladdin Club Member listed on this account.

The terms seem to say that the offer is only good for the Aladdin club member that the offer was sent to...so I would be a bit nervous about trying it because even if you sign up for a card before you check in, it won't be the same number as on the offer.

That said, I've heard many times of people using these sorts of offers with no problem...so it would really be down to everyone to decide if it's worth the risk...not sure what would happen at check in if they called you on it...no idea if they even have that info available at check in.

just a bit !!! even if i had that type of money set aside i would resent spending it on a flight. i,ll tough it out in Cattle class and save my hard earned dosh for 4 top notch meals when i land thanks. then use the other 400 quid for a better hotel

2 Adults 1 Child £2217

this is not enough info to help you search for a better deal.

does this included flights ??? i assume you are all in the same room ?. who is this price quoted with?

room only for thoose dates with TRAVELAXE i can get a rate of $2000 ish which would be a good starting point for going direct to the Hotel and get a better rate.

if your buying off a UK agent remember they paid for their rooms allocation when the dollar was stronger a while back . with it nudging $2-£1 now you have a better buying power. your Nationwide credit card will earn it,s corn and prove it's worth here

Booking direct with the hotel is quoted at $1918.02 including tax right now...so say £1000 or so for the room (though closer to the date you might get a better rate)...leaves you £1200 or so for flights.

Not sure where you are flying from and how old the child is (or how children's tickets work as I have none!) But may be worth checking just flights on their own to get a fair comparison to the package rate...you don't say whether the package includes direct flights or flights with a connection and usually direct are more expensive...but worth looking into at least.

I haven't stayed at THE Hotel, but I understand it's fantastic.

quick , help!!

trying to book the Alladin deal and it wont accept the phone number i am entering...

so i phoned the hotel and at first was told they do not accept saturday arrivals.
I explained that i have an offer code and she checked with a supervisor and then said it was ok.
But then she asked for my players card number.....
So i said i`d have to phone back ...
so unless you can book this on the site it seems it won`t work.



edit:
ok i have sorted it and now am booked, though being asked for my players card number on the phone has me worried a bit.
I just hope that , as many people on the other link have stated, they have never been asked for it at check-in , so am just gonna try and swing it.
thanks

Nice one !!!

how did you get your phone number prob sorted online???

be sure to let us all know how your check in went ( i really would not worry but sign up for players club before check in to be super safe).as for asking on the phone all the other forums say this happens i doubt very much they are going to turn you away, welcome with open arms will be more like it

oh and have great time. your now going and know your going ...nice place to be in that . :beer: :beer:
