no sites include Resort Fee's.
This is because the booking agents MGM group did use, have changed the setup or providers, etc...

Just found another shopping gift card deal on Travelzoo. Town Square this time. Decisions decisions...

Just a thought, it says you can use them for many shops and restaurants. Wonder if they could be used in restaurants during happy hour? Not that we're short of food and drink options lol.

Thanks lesley was planning a trip to town square for this trip, haven't been before. :beer:

Ooh that 0161 number is a Godsend! Thanks again to those who posted it.

I was trying to book two tickets for the High Roller open bar through Living Social and there's a promo code for $5 off (5OFFAPR) at the moment. Got to the final stage of payment and right as I clicked go, it dawned on me that if I booked each ticket separately (one on my account, one on hubs') I could get $5 off each ticket). Luckily, my card had expired so the payment didn't go through. While hubs bought a ticket through his own account, I tried to go back and alter the purchase to one ticket but there's no 'basket' to amend and every time I tried buying it just took me straight back to the final stage of payment :mad::mad::mad:

You have to ring LS for customer service, so if it wasn't for the free phone number I'd have ended up paying more than $5 to fix things lol!!

The LS customer service guy I spoke to was brilliant - so helpful and sorted it all on the phone for me so yay for that too!

Really looking forward to going on the big wheel now I don't think we're supposed to post personalised links on here but if anyone is thinking of booking the same deal and wouldn't mind helping me out, I can PM you my link (if three people purchase through it I get the deal free - which would be nice of course )

It's stressful being a skinflint at times!! :rotfl:

Hi all

Going back to the resort fees, I am gutted as I was tracking prices and could have booked a few weeks ago with BA with it included.

So does anyone know if there are any UK based companies that include resort fees? Or any website that includes them?

Sign up to smartervegas and check the prices of rooms via them. Including resort fees it worked out cheaper than lowcostusa for our trip, and you end up booking direct with the hotel.

Reaaaally hope this doesn't happen to us in May!

Hmmm bit of over egging the pudding.
It's 20 minutes tops from the airport to the Trop and passengers were all given rooms. Makes no sense anyone was "sleeping at the airport"

On the other hand €600 each would cover 2 flights if it happened to us - so almost a free holiday.
Would rather know the plane is safe than worry for 9 hours on way home!

We booked last year for our up and coming holiday and it included resort fees, have they stopped doing this for future bookings? I had a look on lowcostusa and on some holidays it now says 'included taxes' I checked our booking and it says including resort fees.

The last time I had a Plane go Tech at Las Vegas I was accomodated at the MGM for 2 days with free buffets and a free show. The airlines pay an insurance to cover these things.

It was very windy in vegas on Monday and Tuesday, my sun hat kept being blown off and hubby had a good look at a woman's thong when her dress got blown up over her head :rotfl:
