    Hi

    We are looking forward to our first trip to Vegas this Saturday (yeaahhh) to celebrate my 40th birthday. We are staying at Bally's.

    Can someone confirm whats the norm for tipping out there - especially in the rooms - do you tip the cleaner daily or upon departure? How much? We are staying in a standard classic room.

    Thanks :-)


    I think tipping is covered in the first few posts (I may be wrong).

    As for your specific question, some people tip at the start, some at the end, some daily and some not at all.

    we tip every day but always ask for extra body lotions etc, anything from $2 to $5 a day depending on what we ask for or gets left by the maid

    tipping everyday is best as different housekeepers clean your rooms.

    i've heard (and may not be true) that leaving your tip in the bathroom may be best as the person who re-stocks your minibar may swipe it.

    and to add to the thead, 3 months today!! :T

    started i think about 5 weeks ago...... or 4
    Did have 119856 LP's , but then just used 87k on the Zarkana tickets...
    Am on level 69, and just built MGM last night.....

    I play a little at home, but leave it running for around 6 hours in work (when i got chips!)
    Leave it running with Bet the Farm / Studio City or Angry Birds...
    They have less input required in the game, so easy to leave running on low bets, quick flick of the screen to hit a button, etc, and then back to work :D:D:D

    Joined 3 groups on Facebook, added around 630 'restricted' friends, use the 'viva myvegas' iphone app (which hasnt had a spinwin for 10 days now :( )
    I click on the chip links that people post, etc....
    Basically, am doing as much as i can to get the goodies!!
    I have 31k LP's, once that hits 50k which i guess will take a few weeks now, i'll book my next show, and then work on the criss angel towards start of May.....
    If i dont get enough, i'll aim for a meal voucher, given you can only redeem 3 rewards :)

    Cant believe how they have slowed the LP's up in the last few days, used to take 6 spins @ 600 to get 10LP now its more like 22 spins.

    yup, am guessing they got the numbers they need to make the game viable, so now like anything, you reduce how much you get and bombard the 'Buy chips' options all the time, relying on addiction to make you buy the 'freebies' !! :D
    Makes perfect sense from a business point of view...

    I guess earning 120k LP's in around 4 or 5 weeks aint bad going, i did spend £19 buying some chips mind! (at the Double XP weekends!)
