    Talking of mobiles in the USA, has anyone used Three's Feel at Home Service?

    Is it as simple as turning on you phone when you land?

    I hope so as i have bought the payg sim for my visit in a weeks time.

    As far as i understand it, you need to make sure to have converted your top-up to the all you can eat addon and when you land it should work as long as you have international roaming activated on your account, it’ll all happen automatically – as soon as you arrive in a Feel At Home destination. Just wait for your device to pick up a signal from any available local mobile network and you’re good to go.
  • Interesting, so I could get a free Three PAYG sim now (30+ days in advance required), then buy the £10/15 add on shortly before I go, and that'll be calls, texts and data sorted?

    It looks like Cosmo is doing the $100 offer again but now only for new members.

    $100 ON US

    Lose $100 in a Day & It’s On Us. Now Through January 31, 2014.
    Play your favorites slots in our casino, and if you lose $100 in a day, we will reimburse you with $100 in Identity Play. Just bring your card to the Identity Membership Desk after your loss to receive your $100 in Identity Play. Players can receive $100 reimbursement one time only and the slot loss must be greater than or equal to $100 on that calendar date. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Available to new Identity enrollments only. Offer only redeemable once. Visit the Identity Membership Desk for more info.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Well I resisted reading the thread until now but couldn't help myself.....

    2014 will be the first year since 2001 that I won't be going to Vegas:(

    I'm trying to convince myself a year off will be fine but having read the thread I now really want to go. I'm still playing myvegas for what its worth...

    So jealous of you lucky people!

    It really is an addiction isn't it?!!!My OH said when we came back in November (10 th visit) that we should give it a miss this year aswell.I lasted till December and when OH asked what I wanted for a very special birthday(not telling!) I said I wanted my Vegas trip as usual!So it is booked and I think it's something like -207 days!!i am quite excited to see some of the building work completed like the linqs big wheel,and all the work outside Monte Carlo/NYNY.

    Just had a look at that, unfortunately if you ring local numbers roaming rates apply, also if your PAYG runs out of credit same applies.

    I think I will stick to getting a US T Mobile $2 a day local sim deal ($10 for sim & activation in T mobile shop) when I arrive as I have done before inc free local calls & unlimited data & texts :)
  • But could you used the number that was quoted earlier on in this thread to call a USA number with your inclusive minutes while on the three, feel at home plan?

    Mandalay Bay = all 3 of what you ask :):)
    Same for Luxor...


    Stuff regarding myVegas game....
    1: Doesn't matter when you book something, claim it, etc etc.....
    The 30 days period starts from the moment you use the first reward... that's physical use.... :) So always gonna be just the 3 rewards you get to use.

    2: As a rough guide (as nothing is set), you would need to buy the $39 chip package + $9 + $9 to hopefully see your reward count goto 4 rewards.... more you buy, more your rewards go up, but how much, no one knows!

    We went in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
    We decided to have a break in 2012, but got to October and saw some good flights and went in November.
    We actually had 2013 off, and missed Vegas greatly (despite having some great holidays in Berlin, Prague and Florence).
    In November 2013 we booked flights to go 16th May to 1st June 2014 and cannot wait.

    I was initially excited about that. But as you point out, not much use if you're calling US numbers. I'm split between this ReadySim and the T-Mobile deal. Edging back towards to T-Mobile with unlimited data...
    Currently saving and planning for the holiday of a lifetime to Vegas in summer 2014!

    5 Nights @ Flamingo -> 1 Night @ Lake Mead -> 2 Nights @ The Grand Canyon -> 3 Nights @ The Mirage -> And Finally... 1 Night @ The Salone Fountain View Suite, Bellagio
