Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2013

I suspect they will still be nice rooms and anything 3* + in vegas is 4/5* anywhere else and half the price lol!

We were not sure about splitting hotels as might 'lose' a bit of the day waiting to check into each of the hotels etc and fear we will waste time when we don't have a great deal.

I might just bite the bullet and book the Paris for the full stay, I just want the 'vegas experience' you feel as in the films lol

Maybe i'm just worrying for no reason and £407 is still a good price and can maybe get an upgrade, sorry for my rant

*edit*

LOL!!! Just went back on to book it and its gone up to £411! It's just going up up and up! haha BOOKING IT NOW!

Flush your cookies as you might be affecting the price you are seeing by repeat visits.

Well the misses wanted a themed hotel i think and she said over all she liked the paris the best, if im honest..to me its just a base to get around and if i can lay by the pool and relax for a day with a cocktail then im happy!

It says optional resort fee? If so i will be opting out of it HAHA!

It's all booked now and overall, if she's happy then im happy and always have more chances to go back for longer and try different hotels, for our 1st time i think the Paris will do us well, hopefully!


On a side note, i booked two tickets to zumanity? the show, i used my vegas points for two premium tickets, i didn't want to buy loads of little things we would have to go searching for!

You really don't need to "lose" a day checking in to a new hotel.

If the hotel doesn't have an early check in fee then go early (I aim at 8am as my body clock never really adjusts and I always wake early) check in -if the room is ready great-if it isn't you still check in but go back later to collect your room key. Bags can be held by the bell hops and a quick call once you are in your room brings them up (tip a dollar a bag). So get your bags to the new hotel and go out , enjoy your day and avoid standing in a long line to check in.

my missis wanted a themed hotel too, so I asked if we could stay at Hooters!
she wasn't too impressed with the cheerleader theme! haha !!!!
Were aiming for M Bay again, Mirage or MGM next year (we got a 4 & 8 night stay)

Well my misses would have wanted to stay at hooters but i felt it was wrong by reviews i read!

When we become more confident and actually know where things are etc then i think we can chop and change hotels but figured just play it safe for our first time

I cant wait now it's all booked and sorted, going to be a long few months, saving up as much as i can as im thinking budget about £200's a day? I do gamble a bit but the misses gets bored so figured we would be sight seeing and trying out drinks (not to many as want to fit so much in), i think £200 is enough, hopefully!

that's interesting as Paris now has (as far as I know) a mandatory resort fee...it could be that LCU has a special deal where guests can opt out of it...I would get clarification on that and make sure your confirmation states that it's optional.

Looking at LCU they seem to have generally

Excludes Resort Fee (Venetian/Palazzo, Hard Rock, Tropicana, Trump)
Includes Resort Fee (MGM properties, Palms, Westin)
Optional Resort Fee (HET/CET properties, Cosmo, Wynn/Encore, TI)
No resort fee to pay (Elara, Platinum, Renaissance)

but in some cases the same property has a room type that includes resort fee and another that excludes it...Venetian/Palazzo, Trump, etc.

complicated.

Oh no. Can you change them? Do a forum search for Froggitt Zumanity......there's about 10 posts from me or responding to me on Zumanity.
