Bit miffed as the UberXL from the airport was $37, took a long way round. Went on to the Uber website and went through their complaint wizard, but it said it was within their pricing window.

That does sound excessive. Their own fare estimator quotes $18-23 for the XL.

When we came last August my son ordered an XL and it was just over of 20 dollars to the signature :eek: We were pre warned of being tunneled by a normal cab on Monday when we arrived,due to an accident,that had shut the roads off . Under the normal cars are cheap,but i don't feel the same of the XLs at all.

I come home next Thursday and am already starting to plan my return:rotfl: and feel sad about going back to work,lol! I think I'll stick with July or August next time,I'm not too keen on these winds we've been having at the moment,lol!

There are signs directing you, but they don't make it easy! It's further away than normal taxi's.

Each terminal has a dedicated pick-up point for Uber requests.

In Terminal 1, head to 'T1 Parking' and take the elevator up to Level 2M
In Terminal 3, head to 'T3 Parking' and take the elevator down to the Valet Level (V)

They're only a couple of mins from baggage collection.

Not working for me How are you seeing it it for 43.99? Showing up as 59 for me. Still,a good price for 2. I loved the Paris buffet a few years ago

59 for me too.

Wish they would do some cheaper deals without the wine

Offer was on a email. I just clicked through the link. Price is now set at 'not yet available'. Hopefully, it will reappear.

We stayed in a renovated resort room and it was soooo much nicer than it used to be, including the hallways. They used to be so dark and now they are much brighter. The TV is also no longer in a stupid position where you have to turn sideways in the bed to see it.

Lightning links is our new crack town...it's so hard to leave them, so easy to chase the feature. We have had some decent wins on them and on Lock It Link - but both can be very, very hungry.

I am not 100% sure if it's the $1.50 quick hits that are now $6 or if they are the ones that were $3. I was just alarmed to see loads of $6 minimum machines. There are still some $1.50 and $3 out there. I had a run of wins on one at Cosmo, closest to the strip entrance, the 'blue' machine with your back to the front of the casino. I think it's a $3 machine. It was one of those where I kept increasing my cashout point each time I had a win sort of situations, and one of those 'do I leave now, or will it keep increasing?' situations. One quite good win of about $200, and lots of smaller wins that kept things ticking upwards...I was sensible...in the end cashed out about $400 from an initial $20 and decided that I wouldn't know if it would continue.

I do know I am sick to death of the super-stacks sort of machines...the ones where you may get a full screen of something and it's worth $5...and the ones where you know you've got nothing by reel 2 as reel 1 is a stack of X and no Xs on reel 2...they irk me to no end.

Oh the newish Big Bang with progressives is fun - it's a really tall machine...can't remember how long it's been around, but think we first saw it in November last year. The ones at Cosmo seemed to be pretty nice. Not tons of wins, necessarily, but kept playing for a long time.

I also had a moment where my little heart was on overdrive - Britney at PH, had a few wacky spins at max bet ($2.50) and triggered the bonus and then 'crazy prize'...it was a bit tense, but ended on the lowest ($50).

Lightning Links....had 14 in with 3 tries for the 15th to give grand jackpot of 21k....bit exciting but of course didn't hit...

I agree about those stack machines, I hate them....

Trying to get Dancing Drums but it's not playing ball.

I'm liking The Third Prince.....

Weather isn't great at the moment bit windy isn't it Traveller, Pebbles and Secretmachine!!
