Resort fee at Venetian / Palazzo is (or was!) optional

Also, would it be worth checking / using priceline express like I did? It's quite obvious which is Venetian / Palazzo - see here:

Thanks NVH. So that hotel is definitely the Venetian??? I really don't want to get there and find that it's the Golden Nugget

Also, I've heard that it's better to go for the usual Luxury-1 King Suite rather than the Venetia Luxury1 King Suite, as it takes a long time to walk from the Venetia tower?

Our last day today:eek: will try and post a report when we get home.

Shame to b leaving the Rio as we got upgraded to a masquarade suite it is the whole end of the tower so the views are amazing...it is 1600 sq feet and the wrap around window is about 110 feet long


Also got champagne and strawberries....don't want to leave

That sounds a fantastic way to end the trip at least...but I can imagine it makes it even harder to leave. Enjoy the last day and safe flight home and look forward to the trip report.

Worked for me last year too. I'm not totally up on the priceline selections but if you tell me your dates I could go on and have a look.

Well, one more sleep for us! Quite exciting!

Not totally organised but getting there. I'm just going to pack some stuff before work, then do the rest later. I think I've printed everything I need to print.

Got some shopping coupons last night here http://www.couponcabin.com/printable-coupons/ I have used this site before, have to do it very shortly before travel though as they have a tendency to expire.

Well done on the upgrade. Did you just ask nicely or was is the $20 sandwich?

So this is weird... I used Cromwell's ATM tonight, and didn't get charged at all???

Anyone else heard of that? Withdrew $560, and was only charged $560 - got receipt to verify it too. Weird...

I'm currently in a Bella 2 queen suite in the Venezia Tower (floor 10) & it takes us 10 mins from room to outside and just over 5 to the casino. Its a wonderful hotel and if you can get a good rate on Priceline its well worth it.

Whats the max $ you can withdraw from ATM using british card?
I usually stick with $300 but would lift more if possible (Nationwide card)
