Thats a good oneI'll bookmark it
Not the one I was looking for though this one had 2 drop down boxes to put a start and end date for your holiday so that you could see who was there for your stay.....Doubt if it will go a year ahead anyway as I'm looking end Sept 2009
Thanks though that's a good one to keep

I use www.vegas.com/shows

It allows you to search a date range and choose only headliners.

Well I'm amazed...... I don't regard myself as a gambler -sure I'll dabble on the slots in Vegas-doesn't everyone and last trip took the advice of a friend and asked whilst I was there if my hotel would give me a casino rate and they knocked 20% off my room bill. This time we decided to split our stay and stay for a few days at another hotel in the same group-where I've never gambled but my player card covers it. They comped me two nights-OK it's Coast casinos but even so-free is free.
Just shows even if you aren't a high roller it never hurts to ask !
(I told them we fancied a change from our usual hotel and asked what casino rate would be)

Glad to hear it! I remember the first time we got a really good deal from a players club card and we thought there must be a mistake or something (as hubby was yelling 'book it! book it!' from the sofa). It really does pay to sign up I think - even if you don't think you'll ever qualify, you never know. And like your friend suggested, it really can't hurt to ask at the end of your trip if they can do anything with your room rates. As for it being Coast casinos, they have some nice hotels and casinos - and the hotel rooms are good value at the worst of times, so with any extra money off they're great.

As I said before, Wynn has been known to give out a free night to folks who really have only played a very small amount - probably to entice them back in the hopes that they will spnd more.

When I tried to book 4 nights at the $51 dollar rate, the rates when back up to the normal charge. If I book one 1 night it stays at the $51 rate, can I book 4 nights individually or would that be spotted.
Once again, any help would be soo appreciated.

That's odd...are you sure it's the same type of room between the 4-night prices and 1-night price? Just thinking that if over the 4-night stay the $51 rooms are only available for part of the stay or something it might offer a more expensive room for the 4-night stay. What dates are you looking at?

Did you look at the "view calander of available dates" to check that the 4 nights are the same price

Just realised this is your first trip, a couple of things IMO dont stay at the Excalibur if its your first time, you way well be disappointed. It is one of the worst hotels on the strip. I think tangobunny went earlier this year and changed hotels after the first night! (somebody def did)

secondly if you want to book something try and get a cancellable rate I think that excalibur rate may be non refundable( I may be wrong tho)

Brill thats the one I think
Wont let me go that far ahead yet but as long as I can search before I book my flights so that we can fit our holiday around who we want to see.....as we can be flexible with our dates better that we go when there is someone we want to pay money to see

i tried some random dates and the prices for all nights came out as advertised. do your dates include a weekend as they are not $51 they are $141.

let me know your dates and i will see if it still happens when i input them. if you do experiance problems call them up to book , it only costs a penny per minute if you use a service from the MSE International call checker
http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/ i always use this listed site as i have found them simple and reliable http://www.ratebuster.co.uk/pages/home.asp
