Have a wonderful time. I wish we were still there.

Agree about the paper stuff. I've tried to do it digitally, but always prefer the security blanket of the sheaf of paper.

17 days for me...so excited



They replied with a pretty generic message just saying that they would advise booking to avoid having to wait in line:



Stuie (or someone else), what was that procedure for dialling the US for cheap/free?

I did the Skyjump while there without booking. Waited around 5-10 mins before going up for the jump and then maybe another 5-10 mins at the top before jumping. I did my jump in the morning so probably not as busy.

Got back yesterday and have to say what a truly amazing place Las Vegas is. One of the best holidays I have ever had (and tiring) - I will write up a review when I have a little more time.

Here's one option for an inexpensive breakfast (but not everyone's choice I realise):

I purchased a BOGOF breakfast buffet for the Mirage using myVegas but we never made it. Needs to be used in the next 88 or so days. If anyone wants the code so they can redeem it through MLife drop me a PM (I guess the code can be transferred).

I had a perfectly reasonable breakfast at the Sports bar in Miracle Mile shops, it was around less than $5.00 each and there were several places to eat with similar prices like La Salsa Cantina.

Breakfast is $3.85 here 8.00am until noon. http://www.miraclemileshopslv.com/dine-and-drink/la-salsa-cantina/

I am not an expert on my vegas, having never redeemed anything.

I thought I had read that unused redemptions could be credited back to your account.

No idea if they can be transferred

Just read the T's and C's and it seems that you can get it refunded to your account. However I won't be going back for a while so am happy to pass on the code for someone to enjoy!

You will need to get a refund on it. They are not transferable at all. It's easy to do. Just go to Rewards, then my purchases, then click on the refund button.
