We booked our 2013 trip with lowcostusa and had no problems with them at all

We booked lowcostusa staying at Mirage last year for 4 nights.
At that time it included resort fee....we payed £184 for four days including resort fee.I thought that seemed to cheap,and there must be a catch.but there was no problem at check- in,even let us use vip line to check in.
Wish we could get near that price for this October ...not a chance,and resort fee now separate on lowcostusa.

What are other specialist good sites to book Las Vegas packages through? I've read the sticky on the first page though I can see low cost USA for example aren't mentioned.

Lowcostusa is mentioned on post 3, first page, hotels and where to stay

If you are getting a taxi from the airport they will take you to entrance nearest the check in desks - whatever part of the hotel you are in - have a great time.

with regard to booking sites, i suppose it depends if you gamble and if so how often. I have previously booked through lowcostusa that was cheap, however at the end of the trip i couldnt be comped on any part of the room charges as third party booking.

I returned from vegas last month after booking direct which was significantly more expensive ($2600 for 9 nights in diamond suite at montecarlo) but i got $2000 comped off the room charge aswell as spa charges of $126

I bet thousands a month on sports betting at home but when I go to vegas (5 trips so far) I only spend a few hundred on slots for which i use my appropriate loyalty card and play low stake BJ for which I don't bother using my card. I wish they rated play in the sportbooks so i could get some comps. Thank god for socialrewards to nab some freebies.

They do rate bets in the sports book don't they? I don't know for sure, but have talked to spots bettors who get comps for rooms etc.

We're not very familiar with the MGM programme and as we can normally get 5 comped nights at a CET property and 4 (between us) at Cosmo up front, we normally go that route. But I'm getting a bit tired of CET properties now and would consider MGM, but the most we can get up front is normally 3 nights at the lower end properties and 2 at the better properties. It's hard to pass up free up front for maybe free later. Can you give a little info on the process for the comps you received? Did you have to go to the mlife booth toward the end of your stay and ask, or?? Really curious.
