Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2013

Hi all

Does anybody know, offhand, if any hotels don't charge extra person fees for teens?

If they all do, I will live with it, but I thought it was worth asking the question on here in case there are some that don't (that I just havent found yet).

Many thanks
Karen

Do you have a link for the above?
I can only see the offer here: http://www.venetian.com/Las-Vegas-Casino/Poker-Room/Special-Rates/
That above offer is a special offer/casino marketing.
It also states it does not apply to 3rd party bookings. "(no third party booking such as Travelocity)"

I have signed up for Grazie but the above is just taken from the official website, not from any covert special offers.
I do think whats included in the resort fee will vary by offer booked, but I'm only really referring to the actual resort fee being optional, rather than whats in the resort fee.
If that makes any sense, I'm not an expert or anything, its just that I have spent a lot of time trying to save some dollars whilst getting the best value, so if I can post anything that might be of use to anybody on the same track, then good. :cool:

You could possibly get Planet Ho.

That abbreviation really made us laugh, for reasons I can't say.

Lol, it was intentional. When the hotel changed from Aladdin to Planet Hollywood apparently they stopped after the O for a few days when they were changing the sign!! Would have looked quite amusing. I've called it that ever since I read about that. There are a few other funny names like Imperial Pile...

Depends how many beds you want, if you only want 2 queens, then only pay the room price as they wont know how many people are in the room.

If you want more than the standard beds ie a rollaway, I would still pay just the room rate and ask for a rollaway via housekeeping when you get o the room, that way they often dont charge the $30 a night extra.

The above examples work as i have done it a few times

Officially there are very few now that dont charge for teens, from memory I think mandalay bay is free under 14, and MGM used to be free under 12 not sure if thats still the case

Two queens is all I'm after. That's great help, thank you.

Thanks to all for a lot of useful information. Going for the first time in 2 weeks and would like to ask for help/advice regarding helicopter tours to the Grand Canyon.

Is it better to book our seats in advance or risk waiting until we get to Vegas and see if there are any good offers?

Found a reasonable deal (imo) with Papillon for $329-$349 each (depending on time of day), including limo pick up, Hoover dam, Canyon landing and picnic, flight along the strip, limo return.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
