Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2014

Try looking up rentalcars.com as that's who a few people on here book with and are happy with them. They include CDW or LDW which is your insurance. Always check for that.

I think the general consensus is that it's best/cheapest to book with a UK company as that way you make sure you are properly insured. Americans would be covered by their own insurance.

Just be wary of that Alamo link Photome it charges one way fee's for drop off at a different location,Did a search for pickup LAS and drop off SFO and fees were added

Thanks for that.

I only ever rent in LAS these days, but I thought that there was an agreement between California and Nevada and there wasnt any one way drop charges between the 2 states

I think it's like the whole "you need 6 months on your passport for the US" thing - there are enough people (including on the car hire forum here) that say that there are no one-way fees between CA/NV that a lot of people think that's 100% true...but we had a rental a few years ago (via CH3000) that there was to be a one way fee...CH3000 swapped us to another supplier without when we asked...so they do exist, though I think they are rare.

Im sure we had Dollar and Thrifty CA/NV/AZ no one way fees a few years ago, so not that rare (unless its changed).

sorry, I meant that those that do charge a one-way fee are rare...I don't think most charge between those states but a lot of people say none do and I don't think that's always true.

I'm looking at booking a room for just one night next Summer on Thursday 4th June. I got an email from booking.com today about some discounted rates, I got looking at the Flamingo - do the below prices look decent?

I've never stayed at the Flamingo so not sure what the "going rate" is! Will be after a room with 2 separate beds. And ideally not a High Roller view, would rather be looking at the Strip!

I just got an offer from Flamingo for $23 per night. Granted its in December which is a slow month, but I thought I'd put it out there for comparison.

What is a high roller view ?

its a view of the high roller (the wheel at the back of the Flamingo/Linq)

Its what used to be a pool view that nobody wanted but they now charge extra for

On the flight back from Vegas to Chicago now. My girlfriend just pulled a couple Titos to a value of about $30 from her bag for Cosmo. Valid 180 days.

Happy to send them to someone going within that period free of charge.

I got my !!! kicked for the majority of the trip but had a couple of good days.
