no. 1 voucher per meal. are there any higher value vouchers? also, you should only pay maybe $3 or $4 for each $10 of vouchers....get on their mailing list and get the discount codes.

No higher value vouchers available for that restaurant. Glad I checked how many you can use at once!

Try again 1st of the month, they may be refilled then.

Sorry you and Tracy have had such a torrid time Stoneman. I can't imagine anything much worse than that to be honest!

Was Tracy completely bedridden or have you managed to drag her down to the pool at all in that time?

It's of little consolation, but if I was to get ill away from home I suspect the Platinum is at least somewhere that would make me feel more comfortable (compared to other hotels.)

Hope you both have a safe flight back

No pool time for her, you know what it's like down there, it only has to be 70f out and it feels like 100f by the pool, and the weather has been around 80 the last few days.
My thoughts exactly on being fortunate to be staying here. Couldn't imagine being stuck in a hotel room all the time
We already had a 4pm checkout today but Derick has told us we can stay there till 7 and then someone will take us to the airport

they are one per restaurant per person within 30 days...it's meant to be a discount programme to entice people in, not to give people a meal for next to nothing.

As Froggitt said you can find discount codes so would normally not have to spend $10 for a $25 voucher, though I am not sure how popular TOTW is on r.com and how soon they will sell out.

Has anyone ever used Alpharooms for their hotel booking ?
Just used a comparison site for searching vegas hotels,and they are way cheaper for some hotels.
Too cheap to be honest.....review sites say they are fine,but their prices on some places seem to good to be true.

I've not used Alpharooms, but I did get Marriott to pricematch them for Miami (their pricematch also knocks another 25% off so got a belting deal as Alpharooms was nearly $700 cheaper than everywhere else!)

Maybe an option if you can pricematch and want some security

duchy

Alpharooms aren't a "new" company but in your situation what I've done is gone to the hotel direct made a refundable booking and then asked them to pricematch the website's price.

I've used Alpharooms loads of times - never had a problem. Pretty sure I booked Caesar's with them last time I went to Vegas, got a cracking price!

alpharooms ok (same style as travelrepublic and lowcostholidays)....
just double check if looking at MGM properties, it states whether resort fee is included in total rate... failing that, use lowcostusa.co.uk
