    I know, but tough, but at least I'm not driving. Really felt it at 420pm, hubby said he was falling asleep at 4, so obviously I've got more stamina haha. Got to minimise my holiday use though so that I can get away as much as possible!

    I think I win the prize here for shortest interval in between Vegas and work. When I went in April, I touched down in Heathrow at about 8am and I was in my office by 9am. Same as you, I have to minimise my holiday use!

    Been playing around 3 weeks and have 4 $50 breakfasts for 2 in Delights at the Sig between me and the missus.
    As my daughter and her partner are coming that means 2 free breakfasts each.

    Its more about the number of friends playing the game as you get more daily chips and bonuses from other players.
    To build loyalty points you are better off playing very small stakes, this is easier when you have unlocked the 100 auto spins.

    As i said some members have made 4000 loyalty points in a day so at that rate they will earn over $50 in comps every week they play.


    If its not you thing thats fine.
    It IS very MSE though and everyone likes something for free.

    How many hours have you played?

    I had been playing for more than 3 weeks with a 30000 free chips a day each time I lost them in about 10 minutes.I have 4000 points.

    It seems to me to get as many points as you have would take many hours a day with a lot more than 30000 free chips a day.

    How many free chips do you get a day?

    Have you been warned by facebook yet for sending to many strangers friends requests?

    Well I don't know if it is breaking news, but here goes.

    The Quad is revealed as the new name for Imperial Palace.

    What do you all think if the new name?

    My Mum went to to Buckingham Palace at the weekend and entered through the Quad, so maybe thats where they got the name from as it is a Palace :D

    Does seem a strange name for a hotel/casino

    awk! I would die, I think. I am really impressed with people who can do this sort of thing. We almost always land back in the UK on a Saturday morning so we have all day on Sunday to try to start to get back on the right time zone but even then it's a huge struggle...most impressed...I think you deserve some sort of award.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Reading all that it will mean the end of cheap rooms centre strip.
    And I just love the way hotels bandy about the word "porte Cochere":rotfl:
    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.

    They will probably charge a huge premium, but if the "refurbished" room we had in May is anything to go by, they won't get many takers.

    Porte Cochere makes me laugh every time too.

    From Encyclopaedia Britannica.

    "A porte cochere, as the French name indicates, was originally an entrance or gateway to a building large enough to permit a coach to be driven through it into the interior courtyard beyond. These gateways are common features of homes and palaces built during the reigns of Kings Louis XIV and XV of France."
