...as for steak specials, we much preferred the $7.77 deal at Mr Lucky's which we likely would have never tried had it not been for the suggestion of the all knowing and all powerful pebblesmax.

I was so relieved when you liked it. I'm always nervous when I recommend food to someone because everyone's tastes are so different.

Does anyone know if the new 2-story Walgreens beside PH has opened yet? I think someone mentioned it at the end of last year that it was due to open early 2012?

It wasn't open last Thursday when we flew back...but it looked like it wasn't going to be long. I am pretty sure it said February on the banners in the window.

I have a feeling that a large part of the Monte Carlo pool is in shade now due to the City Centre project. I'd check that out further if the pool is a big priority. Also, my OH hated the GN pool because the beds are rammed together like sardines. Of course you can pay to go to the hideaway pool, which may be better.

i guess space is at a premium unless you're at wynn, bellagio or ceasers.

any shouts for pool areas with most space and most sun? tropicana maybe? seems abit far south though.

If anyones interested Stripburger coupons are available on Restaurant.com

I used the code Cabin and got 50% off.

At the min they have $10 and $35 vouchers.

Monte Carlo pool also gets very busy as it has a wave pool so you get lots of familys.

You mentioned Paris and PH both have pretty bland looking pools but I have stayed at both and got plenty of sun and plenty of space

i have got a price of £276 for Monte Carol, 5 nights in september through expedia. having a blonde moment but could someone confirm that the policy below means if I cancel prior to 4th September I get a full refund?

'We understand that sometimes plans fall through. We do not charge a cancel or change fee. When the hotel charges such fees in accordance with its own policies, the cost will be passed on to you. Monte Carlo Resort and Casino charges the following cancellation and change fees.
Cancellations or changes made after 12:00 PM (Pacific Daylight Time (US & Canada); Tijuana) on 04 September, 2012 are subject to a hotel fee equal to the first night's rate plus taxes and fees.
Cancellations or changes made after check-in on 06 September, 2012 are subject to a hotel fee equal to 100% of the total amount paid for the reservation.'

Also is £276 a good price for a deluxe room? $15 resort fee per day is charged on top of this. Going through quidco who have 12% cashback on hotels bookings atm.
Thanks in advance

Just checked the first promotion I came across and MC was $390 inc tax for 5 nights from mon 3rd sep plus resort fee and includes $35 resort credit

That particular promotion runs out on the 9th sep though but I am sure there are or will be others

If you are happy with £276 you have nothing to lose and of course 12% quidco

That is correct. I think that's a very good deal, considering I just paid $309 for 4 nights in April. (Includes a Saturday)

I'll have to check this QuidCo thing out..

Your price is in $ though and CC is in £..her price is about $420
