    Saw her on the One Show last month and she looked terrible. Had the pillow face thing done.
    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.

    hiya, from what i can find out, you should be able to! i've not tried it at all properties, but we certainly were able to charge to Vdara rooms from Aria... so I would think it would work across all properties. it's a very honest setup! i'm sure there are measures in place to combat fraud...

    not done it at MGM properties but at CET properties we have always had to show ID?

    Or maybe we just assumed we had to show ID with the room charge card we got at check-in...in any event, we haven't found that we just have to give a room number and sign.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Ferf - Zarkana has gone from rewards!!!

    tsk...well...maybe it will come back...we shall see...stupid stupid game.

    as for ONJ - I have seen some recent photos (Froggit's freaked me out for a few seconds I have to admit!) and she is unrecognizable, agree...but I still have a fondness for her so maybe it would be worth going.

    Last year when we used part of our room credit at The Pub in Monte Carlo they asked for photo id, a room key and they actually phoned Vdara to check we were genuine.
    Never had anybody phone a hotel before but maybe they did and we hadn't realised.
    I don't mind to be honest.

    no, nor me...much rather they are sure I am me than not- saves the arguing about bogus charges later. :)

    I have been to hotels where you just give a room number and sign to charge to the room, but not in Vegas...

    as for checking if any comps are available before checking out - we always used to do this the night before we checked out...that way we didn't have the faff in the morning of departure and could just use the check-out on the telly (I love that so much)...we've only ever done it at CET properties and sometimes we apply rewards credits toward our charges and at least twice they have taken off more than we had credits to cover...a few years ago at Caesars I did this - I didn't have enough credits to cover the charges to the room but thought I would use what I could...night before departure I went to the front desk...the guy took my card, went away, came back and said 'your balance is zero'...I assumed he meant on my TR card - after he took the credits I had and put them toward the room charges - which is what I expected...checking out, our room charge balance was zero and no credits were taken out of my TR account. I still don't know what happened there but I guess we played enough for him to clear our bill without taking any TR credits.

  • Me neither - more than happy for them to check if it means we can have the convenience of charging to the room :)
