    OK - what have they done to harrahs.com?
    firstly - the pictures zipping in from the side make me dizzy.
    secondly - the booking screens after logging into Total Rewards are, IMHO, way less user friendly than they were before...it used to be so much easier to look at the various hotels...and it's not showing all the room options at each hotel that it used to.

    DO NOT LIKE!
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    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.

    I've stayed at the Flamingo several times (usually 2/3 nights so quite doable for the $20 trick) and found it very hit and miss for upgrades (Go room to Go room with view - research shows Fab to Go is very unusual)- yet found CP opposite 100% success rate -so it just goes to show you can't rely on the $20 trick -if it is THAT important to you to have a Strip view.

    I'm still seeing the old multiple hotel prices across one month with the drop downs for the different room types when logged in.

    Dont think I put in my trip report that we had breakfast at In N Out on Tropicana the last morning, nothing special you say, but while there we saw 2 limos pull up with groups of guys in.

    where else in the world do you go to a fast food burger joint in a Limo?:T

    just a note to say how important a strip view is to my wife, we had an Augustus tower booked and I told my wife I would try for strip/fountain view, I put in my trip report that we got the best possible, right at the strip end of the tower half way up so perfect view of fountains and eiffel tower etc etc.

    We walked in to the room , I opened the curtains and my wife started crying she was so happy :)

    So to you it's worth it :)

    I thought I'd love having one-but honestly the reality was after the first wow I didn't have the leisure time to appreciate it properly (but my trips to Vegas are usually short and full- not much time for sitting back and chilling)

    I love the Augustus Tower-it's my fiance's first trip to Vegas this year -and I'm thinking hit him with the Wow factor the first night with an Augustus room- hopefully he won't cry though ;)
