I went to the Tourny kings show in Excal (thanks to myVegas!) back in May, was an awesome fun night! lots of shouting, etc... Its a good fun show, got a chicken and some tato's, and unlimited pepsi

Defo a good fun night, banging on the tables and stamping your feet!

Thanks Stuie Sounds really good! That's another show to add to the list then!

So far we're going to see Rock of Ages, Meatloaf Rocktellz and Cocktails and Penn & Teller.

Ha there's no doubt I will be back - this is my 5th time - its my favourite place on the planet (well tied with Ibrox, anyway!)

I am more of a collector than a player as well, I just collect the daily spin and the hotels, sometimes twice on the weekends - I only tend to play when its double XP.

I am glad I gave it a go (December, I started) as according to our Mirage bookings the value of the 4 nights in the suite is approx $1200 which we would never have spent on a hotel to be honest. The rest of the family started playing too late and have had to make do with booking through lowcostusa. I still don't know whether to let them up to the suite....... I may charge an entrance fee ha ha :rotfl:

Has anyone been to see the Tournament of the Kings at Excalibur? I'd never really give it much thought before now, but I was on trip advisor or some Vegas site (can't remember which), and saw it advertised, so I clicked on it and thought that it looked like a fun night out? Or is it more aimed at kids?

Its fun as Stuie says. is it aimed at kids? probably.

You do get your food in a basket with no cutlery so you have to eat with hands as befitting the era.

I don't think I would pay full price for it , but we did enjoy it when we went about 12 years ago, I guess it hasn't changed though

If you can get hold of the book of discounts that venetian guests get (and probably palazzo too), there is a voucher to upgrade your seats from rear stalls to front. Not sure if you could use them alongside any other deal you managed to get, but maybe worth a try.

Can anyone advise the process to redeem the voucher for the monorail. I realise it is buy one get one free but wher do you go to make the purchase.
Thanks for any help you can give

well now you can try two hotels.

I do agree that there are other options for not a lot more money and depending on what you want the choice is nearly wide open...you can get a lot for your money in Vegas. GVR seems really nice - we have only been to the casino/restaurants but it looks really lovely though is quite far removed from the Strip, which for some might be a nice thing, others would prefer to be closer to heart of things for a short trip. One day I would like to try GVR - even if I have never, ever, ever done anything but lose in their casino - we still stop by almost every trip.

We stayed there last year for 2 nights. Really liked it. Rooms are nice. Pool is lovely and relaxed. You get a glass of wine with the buffet. Buffet is also really cheap, but good. You really need a car to stay there. It suited us because we were going to do a fair bit of shopping in Henderson as well. I really like the shopping down there. The District is also nice for a wander in the evening. We found a bar on a side street at the District and stopped there for a drink or two on both nights. Reasonable and friendly. Was maybe called Al's Garage.

I may be wrong as I can't remember whats in these coupon books, but they probably just get given the ones that can be obtained for free... from memory they are quite chunky!

from memory, the coupon book you collect from Fashion Show Mall can also be used at the "Shoppes" (you flip the book around to find them

Managed to snag the 2-Night Mirage Tower Suite reward back in January for our wee trip in October (Its getting soooo close now )

I thought rewards had to be redeemed within 90 days of getting them. Have I misunderstood that?

How long before a trip should you start trying to cash in LPs for rewards?
