I buy $100 credit and that keeps my number for a year. I think that the length of time it lasts before being deactivated is dependent on how much credit you add. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Just found out that it's 90 days for all other amounts. Hope that helps.

Perfect! That should be fine, thanks for checking Pebbles! That would work just fine as we're back in the US late August.

Me too, especially as it was a Friday afternoon, the timing not the best! And looking forward to the Stay Well room, although it may be a bit gimmicky

Great to know they call you when the room is ready, this trip I have said we will get one of the T-Mobile sim cards. BTW, does anyone know how long they last before they deactivate if not used?

Thanks a million for the link to book a table! Might just try to book it asap then Love it as well when Lady Luck smiles on you like that with a great win, nice finish to a great evening I reckon :T

you could also consider Three's 'Feel At Home' UK sim card, which you can use in the US.

details taken from the front page:

In late 2013, the UK mobile network Three launched their "Feel At Home" service, which basically lets you use your UK tariff abroad (currently limited locations, but USA is included). If you are not a Three customer, you can simply get a free Three Pay As You Go sim, purchase an Add On package (for £10 or £15) and use minutes, texts and data in the USA at no extra cost. If you are a new Three customer, you will have needed your sim card for 30 days before you can use Feel At Home (so just remember to order it in plenty of time!) Full details can be found here.

I have heard of it, but unfortunately cannot use it as we don't live in the UK anymore. And although we have a little trip planned in May to England, it would be too late to fulfill the 30 days use prior to leaving. Although I guess this is a really good option for most.

welcome back and well done! Always good to hear about luck on the slots!

We're going to try Tender via MyVegas next month - any suggestions? And I know the dress code is listed as business casual which in Vegas seems to mean jeans and a nice top or shirt is just fine...if you happened to notice if that was the case would be grateful for reassurance. We don't pack dress clothes for holiday.

As someone has said, no dress code, I had jeans and a nice top, husband had jeans too. It is a higher end type of vibe though.
I had the porterhouse (huge and juicy) husband had the fillet and said it was one of the best he has had. As for sides the mash and green beans which had some type of sauce on were lovely, both shareable size.

Really enjoyed the slots this year, didn't have much luck on willy wonka. Nice wins came on family guy and ghostbusters, and $1 wheel of fortune, I also love the plants vs zombies game

Edited to say We used three SIM cards out there no problem. Great to locate each other whilst in the casinos, also the free data was a bonus.

I only turned my sim on the day before, no 30days needed.

Hi all


Newbie to this thread. Loads of great advice so thanks all! I was interested in some of the great deals people got on Groupon. I registered to the US Groupon site and was trying to purchase a restaurant deal but the payment details require you to input either a US or Canadian state or province. There doesn't seem to be anyway around this. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks

I don't have anything in the state or province field on either of the credit card details on my account - I just left it with 'select an option' appearing it seems.

Thanks. I gave that a try but it comes back with 'This value is required' when I skip it. It's strange. I hope they've not changed it so you have to be from US or Canada :eek:

Register for the UK groupon site and then change your target city to Las Vegas. I think that's what I did.

Thanks. That didn't work for me either. I'm probably being daft and missing something obvious!
