I'm doing fairly well with MyVegas and now wondering about signing up to Social Rewards. Is it worth it, considering I am travelling towards the end of August, or have I left it too late?

Also, I have a separate Facebook account that I use for MyVegas, and it's not under my real name. Would this matter for Social Rewards?

The wheel doesn't appear to be selling out. It wasn't very busy yesterday at around 6:30 pm.

Morning

A quick question if I could. I am flying to Vegas on 16 June by Virgin, I vaguely remember a post saying that I can choose my seats 2 months in advance. Is this true, or am I dreaming?

Also, does anyone know if the immigration queues in LV are as bad as the ones in NY?

I have never been before and I can't wait

Thank you for any advice

It's not the immigration queue you have to worry about, it's the blasted wait for the luggage!!
No better than when the flights came into T2.
We are usually within the first dozen to get through immigration because of my US citizenship, and our bags are tagged as priority, but by the time they come out the carousel area is full to the brim.

Definitely worthwhile. Do you have twitter? If not, get an account set up asap and let us know your name and we can all follow you. You need about 20 followers to be able to use it.

Never too late. We have got $120 worth of points or more since October. Regarding using your own name, don't think it matters. You just connect to your facebook when using Social Rewards. You can even hide the facebook posts so you don't annoy your friends.

I do have Twitter but I use the account for my business so probably best not to mix it up with the Social Rewards stuff. I'll look into setting up another one though. Thanks.

I think it's too expensive...it is also something that never occurred to me to book in advance so glad that that may not be necessary...it seems more of a 'hey do you want to go on the wheel now or in the next couple of hours?' sort of thing rather than something that we would fix in time. We may decide to use my Social Rewards credits for it, we're undecided. We would like to go sometime but it does seem quite pricey at the moment...it's something I could see in 6 months getting a discount or BOGOF voucher if you're staying at one of their properties.

That's what we are thinking too. Tony just doesn't want to do it anyway, but he'll go with me on a half off offer.

Quick question -Probably for Ferf as Stoneman is not a fan of the evil weed

Platinum balconies- Smoking or non smoking ? (I know the hotel itself is non smoking)

nvh

They are definitely non-smoking Duchy

(have signs on the patio door stating you will be fined if there is evidence of it on the balcony)
