    It might be worth phoning Wynn and mentioning your previous offer and the wedding anniversary. They may match it. End of October has a few conventions in town, so you may get less.

    There is an offer on Blue Man Group on travelzoo just now. Might be worth looking at. I hated the show, but I do believe it!!!8217;s a standard format wherever they play.

    We liked Mob Museum and Neon Museum downtown. Also Atomic testing museum along Flamingo near the University. Most can be accessed using the bus.

    I'll give another vote to the Mob Museum. I also found the Titanic exhibition very good for a wander around.

    I took a tour out to the Hoover Dam too which took me inside the Dam too, that was very interesting and the guys running it were very entertaining.

    Well after saying never again we are just in the process of booking (last trip was Aug 2016) This time going June 1st to 15th and looking at condos as Mrs indout had gallbladder out last year and now cannot eat rich food so going to be self catering most of the time.
    Just 1 quick question -
    Parking fees - are these all casinos now or just MGM properties ?

    Although I've been going to Vegas for years I've never bothered with players cards....so just curious as to how much gambling I'd need to do to start getting anything of note?


    I'd probably gamble several hundred bucks across numerous properties per day, slots mostly...have I been missing a trick?

    Yes you have, we gamble similar to your scenario. Have been playing with cards since first visit 20 years ago and have had free rooms every visit since

    If you google Vegas parking charges you will probably find a list of all current charges.

    But apart from Tropicana and TI ( I think) all strip casinos and downtown casinos charge for parking, even the north outlet mall charges.

    Wynn do have free parking if you are a guest or you spend x amount at the resort

    As a guest of Wynn you have to spend a minimum of $50 for free parking.
