Thanks for all the advice, after reading Froggitt, Winter Jasmine and Ferf1223 I was going to book Vdara, but Duchy swayed it for me to Ceasars with the $20 trick. Should I ask for a complimentary upgrade to any of the other towers (I am assuming the room is in the Roman. I booked a secret hotel through Last minute and it just has “classic room” without mentioning the tower) or would it be better to name the tower and ask for a specific type of room if so which towers/rooms should I ask for.

Adding a gamble into the equation is nice and Vegas

Don't get me wrong, I love Caesars it's just you asked (I think) about the basic rooms. Good luck with the upgrade - let us know how you get on - and hope you have a fantastic trip!

Hi everyone.

Have any of you ever been to vegas in December? We get married in November this year and looking to go around 30th November for 7 nights or so.

I've looked online and I expect it to be cold, however does anyone know if all the restaurants and bars are still open etc?

Thank you

It's the rodeo at the beginning of December so many places stay open until that is over.

Almost everything in Vegas is open 365 days a year.....a few shops shut on Xmas Day but that was about it. (two December trips).

hey all,
Just done our 1st 3 nights at the Mirage, escaped the resort fee's which was good....
By the 2nd day, I had made just short of $800 profit, but by that same evening, I lost $1.1k ! hehe
But I cant moan as its money I am prepared to lose...
So far, am all good, etc etc... still up kinda, I think !

Oh, and as for the hire car, had a booking with Alamo for 8 days, standard size (chrys 200), a chat with the lady in the garage, a $20 handshake, and we drove off in a white Dodge Challenger! ok, its not like the Hertz cars, but its still a V6 305bhp car with some grunt.... (she wrote on my booking form so I wouldn't get stopped at the gate, hence the $20) ......

Anyway, we just got to the Cosmo for our 3 comped nights...
Will post back later, but lets just so, OMG, and I mean OMG...
I have stayed in some good suites in Vegas and NYC, but the room we are in, oh my!!!!
Here's a taster!!

Nice Stuie, looks like a wraparound!:j

ferf1223

what bubble said! Now I really want to hear that story of how that happened...it's a high floor, too.

my husband loves those tables that you can raise and lower - he insists on playing with them when we have access to those rooms.

50th Floor
wrap-around suite, bloody love it !!
Will reveal all in my trip report soon
We got the fountain view 1 side, and the other side means I can get an all over-tan in the morning!

Hi we went the Christmas before last and it was colder than normal they even thought they would have the first snow in 4 years (didn't get any . Everything seemed to be open and busy. We are going again at Christmas and expect it to be a crisp dry cold again but you never know it could be warmer. Have a great time.

We are thinking of taking a helicopter night flight and wondered if anyone had done this and is it worth the money? We have looked at his and thought it was a good deal and is a little longer than the other would love to hear if anyone has done this and what you thought
