    If you would like to book more than 5 nights just make two reservations and ask MGM to merge the reservations at check-in.

    That Monte Carlo offer is great just a pity about the pool there at the minute but that is such value I think it more than makes up for it

    You were very lucky as MGM have told all staff that anyone taking tips and then giving upgrades will be disciplined and they are trying to encourage staff to offer paid for upgrades and give them commisson on it. I think that this was brought in early Summer last year. We have offers like this that dont last the duration of our stay we book twice once in my name once in my wifes and then they sort it out for us at check in.

    We got a spa suite on our honeymoon I had booked a Hollywood suite but none was available then at Xmas we booked a Spa suite and none was avaialbel and got a hollywood. Most of the cheaper suites in Vegas are just one big room with a seating area.


    Can I ask how you know this, as tipping is such an essential part of Vegas and the $20($50) trick is well known and widely used.

    I was speaking to a desk clerk from MGM at a friends house in Las Vegas, it only MGM to my (and his) knoweldge that have introduced this as they felt that they were losing out on a lot of upgrade revenue becasue of this. I have still tried it since at MGM and managed to get a view room but when you give them them the note they take it out and put it on the keyboard so the camera can see.

  • Booked, booked and booked! $526 inc tax for 7 nights stay!! Couple that with a £330 flight and we now have a super MSE holiday.

    I'll keep checking for cheaper hotel deals though.. seems like they're slashing the a*** out of the price :D
