    We often ask for a specific room number if it's one we liked previously. We have had varying results, but most places will try to accommodate you so long as it's not a busy weekend night when you arrive. This trip, Tuscany couldn't give us the room we wanted on the day of arrival, but could move us the following day. PH gave us the room next door to the one requested, which was fine with us.


    ok thank you for the response!
    Just we are a few weeks out and i assume june is pretty busy so fingers crossed!!

    and thanx for the feedback as well duchy, on a side note whom would i send an email to?i mean i assume just the check in people department(if there is such a thing) or just the hotel in genral?

    anyhow thank you both for the feedback(getting excited already !!:T)

    Flying out to vegas again on 18th May for 5 nights solo trip to play some poker. I assume I'm still best off to use my clarity card for spending and cash while out there rather than get dollars here?

    Got another trip in September with wife and another couple, don't think I'll get much poker on that trip though!

    me and the wife again....
    Only doing 11 nights compared to the 14 last year, we staying in Mirage, Lux and Monte :D All free! :D:D

    where u staying in New York ? I not been to NYC for 10 years, super cool place, got some good memories from that place, good times!
    Worked out there a few times, so used to stay in the New Yorker and Jolly Madison Towers... The New Yorker looks great in the lobby, but the rooms are more like a beat up Travelodge!!! :D

    I'm excited, not got our dollars yet, we fly to DC on Saturday for a week, using our 2for1 voucher for first class on BA, then hit Vegas a week later on memorial weekend. I seem to remember someone saying they got some good shopping deals last memorial weekend? Its our wedding anniversary on the 24th and not sure if the hubby would allow me to hit the shops that day and I have booked a cabana by the pool for the 25th. Do the deals hang around for the days after memorial weekend??
