    we are there till the 9th IIRC... you'd best not have a better rate than us again! ;) lol

    We are there from the 14th till the 22nd April, and I am pretty sure Pebbles is in Vegas when we are as well.

    To be correct I'm in Vegas on the 26th of March doing a TP run but only for 8 hours, and I need to get my head down quick so am staying at an airport hotel.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    this actually reminds me - I was wondering what you guys have found to be the best way of getting out to the Strip from Aria is? I know we can go through to MC, or go through Crystals...are there any other routes we aren't considering?
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Must say I haven't been on the app page for a while, but I did see someone post about FB security, I wonder if this is what you have had (or a spin off version)?

    It really does sound odd the whole thing.

    Thats the one!

    We are staying in Aria on our next trip too - well for 4 nights paid with $200 f&b credit. Thanks for the recommendation on Bardot Brasserie, just trying to do a rough itinerary of dining - 36 days to go!

    we are September. I keep wondering if we will ever do Vegas more than once a year... Never say never I guess. Possibly not in the foreseeable tho!

    Forgot about your run. What is your route again? It is for Gold isn't it?

    Yes you're right Stoneman. We are there from 31st March to 15th May next trip. See you there!

    We will be at Platinum for the first part of your trip, then we move to Gold Coast for a slot tournament. We are having two stays there next trip. 8th to 18th April, then 29th April to 15th May. .

    we arrive on March 16th - can't wait. we're not expecting it to compare to Cosmo, and the last few trips we've been back at Bally's for the first several nights as we were going with others and trying to maximize the room comps...Bally's is fine but I am really tired of it, and since we haven't stayed at Caesars for awhile, we aren't offered the comps we used to get there. I have been wanting to try staying at an MGM property properly and see what that might do in terms of mlife comps, and Aria was at the top of our list. We really like the casino and I think having it be our 'home' casino for 5 nights will be great.

    will look into the spa as well..I'm not really one to use the facilities, but I might consider a massage as a treat.

    Just shy of a month then :D Never tried any of Caeser's properties, as Myvegas sucked us into the Mlife world :p Of all the Mlife properties, I don't think you can go far wrong with Aria, and I am sure you will enjoy your 5 nights. You may want to ask for a room closer to the lift if possible though, as it can be a long walk (like most hotels). For going out to the strip, going out through MC is easy, however the other way through Crystals brings you out by Cosmo. Another option if you need to go further down the strip is go out by the Buddha statue and through Vdara to Bellagio. Very often quicker than the tram.

    Vanilla - For Bardot, the brunch is only Saturday and Sunday, and perfect if you have a F&B credit :D I still cannot get over the French toast, scrumptious! Just make sure you are hungry!

    Mystery solved then :) These spam links are getting ever so clever these days, frightening how easy it is to be tricked into clicking on something and whoops you have a virus or two...

    In any case, good luck in getting your Maverick reward, hopefully trying it via the BJ app will do the trick. I hear it is pretty amazing experience!

    Thanks for the heads up. Always good to have options even tho we never get to any of them! ;)

    Does anyone know if they have finished pulling down that building between Cosmo and Aria (well, Crystal) yet? Walking through there for the last few years has been a pain!

    Still missing the presence of vegaschatter as it was really useful for day to day gossip like that :/

    Yes, The Harmon is pretty much all gone now, and walking through Crystals and out by Cosmo is so much better :)

    I too miss Vegaschatter, but some of them have recreated a bit of that, but heck if I can remember the name of the FB page, but hopefully someone else can help out here. Not quite the same, but it is far better than nothing!
