Jealous! Hubby's favourite is the glazed cruller and mine is chocolate with creme (not custard) filling.

Hope you are having a great trip!

Never made it to KK, trip gambling wise has been a disaster, seriously thinking of calling it a day, we have lost big every single session.

Nascar was fun yesterday and HOT...I did win 30 dollars backing the winner (harvick).

Now at Rio in a 1600 sq ft suite it is awesome

We're doing 3 nights at Luxor with MyVegas in May. Is your room ok? We have never stayed there. I'm sure it is supposed to be a Pyramid Room, wondering if we should try to upgrade or try $20 trick? We probably won't spend much time in the room anyway, as it's only 3 nights plus we'll have a car those days so will be out and about, as well as trying to cram in some MyVegas buffets. :j

You get the 2 queens pyramid room with my Vegas, I tried to upgrade to a suite in the pyramid with $20 but they didn't have any left she did offer me a suite in the tower but not sure if it was going to cost me as I said I wanted to stay in pyramid just to say we have. She did then say we could have a king on the 5th floor or 2 queens on the 24th we chose the 24 th. The room was ok, I would def take the tower upgrade if I went again tho

@ Photome

When you did your car with Alamo, were you trying to upgrade at the main front desk, or with a guy in the garage area (or booth in the garage) ???
Although I don't have a booking at LAS, I got my SUV rental booked with Alamo for LAX, and the plan is to get a Full size/Prem SUV, for either slipping a garage guy $20 or paying at the booth (i'll use the kiosks so I don't have to see the front desk, as I hear front desk staff are Not the best to try and upgrade with ?????)

I check in online with Alamo insiders so no need to even go to the booth, we go straight to the guy in the garage, I offered her the $20 she just laughed and then said we do hav this charger which wasn't in the standard line of full size cars.. I am happy with it, it is 300 HP almost

We'd like to see Beatles Love but wondering what would be the cheapest way? I have enough MyVegas points but is a ticket booth better? Or is it one I should book in advance?

TIA

Have you checked summer of cirque or a variation of that for booking direct.

We did that one year and got $ 50 tats for Ka

For Love we went straight to the box office on the day and asked if they had any discounted tickets and got 2 at the same ( or similar) price to those at the disc booths, the advantage was we didn't have to go to the booths and then box office to get seats

I booked our tix for LOVE via a 40% discount link on smartervegas last week. It seemed to be the cheapest at the time, mainly because I wanted to get seats booked now rather than get them via the bogof myvegas offer and wait till we get there to get the tickets.

Sorry the gambling is not going your way...and hope that it turns around.

Glad NASCAR was good at least - did you eat much fair food? That was my favourite part about NASCAR.

Like you I also want to stay in the Pyramid for the experience of it, but from reviews the tower is better. I might try for the Pyramid Suite and see how it goes. Did they decline your $20 when they weren't able to help?

I also read somewhere that you get some coupons when checking in - did you get them?

Hope you have better luck with the gambling.

We stayed in Pyramid suite, although the room is showing its age the bed was comfy. Our major gripe was we had a low floor so has nightclub noise for two nights! We loved the casino at Luxor though.
