    What slots are you guys playing to accumulate coins on my vegas? I'm in the mobile app with 10k coins and 300k chips. They just don't seem to be increasing!

    You can accumulate better on the Facebook game. I don't play any games on mobile now. It takes far too long to get anything. I log in and get the daily bonuses and that's about it.

    Going back to Vegas and the end of this September, Alamo quite expensive, used them last year and like the idea of skipping the counter. Due to their prices being high is there any other car rental that also do 'skipping the counter'?

    Thank you

    yeah, car hire price sucks at the mo!
    Am dredding to think how much its gonna cost in fuel next month...
    Estimated total miles = 1000 - 1200 miles
    Rental: Full Size SUV (so Explorer or Tahoe, or Expedition/Yukon/Surburban if my $20 backhander works!)


    in June, it cost $56 in fuel from full to refill when we went Vegas to LAX in a Chevy Suburban , and that's like 280 miles at constant motorway speeds.....


    I booked the MGM grand, so fingers crossed, its super sunny on the 1st October for 3 days so I chill by the pool all day ! :D:D

    There are resort fees now but they are fairly low and you get a wine hour in Stir.
    Never had any problems in our stays at the Platinum
    If you book by using my name the resort fees are waved :D
    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.

    Thanks for that, I joined Avis Preferred Club and got a Ford Escape for £183 for the week. A lot cheaper than Alamo for an equivalent car. I was determined to get a bargain,

    With regards to The Cosmo, I've stayed there 3 times. The last time was 2 years ago . We were fortunate to get an comp upgrade from their basic room to a fountain balcony room. I did enjoy it, but we were woke up with folk arguing outside our room around 3am it went on and on, we had a look and a drunk hotle guest was about to be robbed by 2 females, we had to phone security, who initially didnt understand us, but sent up one security guy but when he put the guest back into the room , he called extra security, another 6 turned up quickly and they started emptying the room, there was some well dodgy folk coming out of it, The actual guests refused to vacate the room, we could hear this while trying to get back to sleep. The talking went on till 5am when they did leave the room. I do like the Cosmo, and it is probable a once off, but much prefer Aria's security where there is a person at the lifts checking your room, keys. Thoses dodgy folk would not have got passed Aria security.
