Flying out to Vegas on the 21st. Thinking of booking a meal at the Stratosphere, before we go. Plan to do the GC, some shows and what ever else comes our way. Want to see some live music.

Goingto LV for the first time staying at Circus circus for two nights 3 and 4 September

What sort of freebies can I expect when I book in ? what sort of success have people had asking for extras - as a complete novive what sort of extras can you ask for.

Also what would be a good source for freebies ( gambling variety ), local newspapers etc ?

Went to Atlantic City years ago on a bus trip and got vouchers for gambling chips and a buffet lunch which were more than the bus fare - poor student days.

Thanks to all the posts on here have been interesting read.

Steve,

I saw Lance Burton in May at the Monte Carlo, loved the show and would certainly reccomend it. I couldn't believe some of the things that he did.

Sign up for the players clubs at the various casinos - it's free, you usually get some sort of freebies for joining.Keep an eye out for the various magazines available here and there - back of taxis are always a good resource for coupons.

As far as freebies from the hotel, some will give you a sheet of coupons when you check in, some have some in the room, some give you nothing for just staying there unless it's a special offer.

Not sure what type of room you booked, but you can try for an upgraded room - see here, 4/4 were successful but that's not a very big sample.

Stay away from the manor rooms.

I'm to Vegas in October for the first part of my honeymoon - can't wait! We're staying at the MGM Sig. Going to see the GC, and have other things we want to see while we're there. I think it'll take me the next 8 weeks to read this thread, but looks to be loads of good info in here!

Hi all
We're going to Vegas for the first time on the 17th November, we're only there for 4 days and 3 nights, as we're also going onto LA and San Francisco.

We're staying at the Bellaggio (woohoo ) I wondered whether anyone can tell us what we really should do there, time will be short and I really don't want to be wandering around deciding what to do!

Not too big on gambling, love shopping and would ideally like to see one of the Cirque Du Soleil shows.

Where's the best buffets/restaurants to eat that won't break the bank? :eek:

Thanks!

Same here, we saw him last month and thought he was amazing.

We were going to go and see David Cooperfield but a few people said to us go and see Lance Burton instead... glad we did.
