  • Can I ask, I can get rooms through the site you mentioned for Paris in July5/6 next year.Not being a gambler do I need to join this London club to take advantage of this offer, don't want to do anything wrong. It's showing $60 a night I said for 4 adults and it came back at $240.00 plus taxes. Does this mean we will get 2 rooms or is it $60 per person? I have gone through to the page to pay and it doesn't actualy tell me how many rooms i am getting. Would prefer 2 at this price.
    Thanks
  • oopsw, just noticed on the cancellation policy it say you must be over 21, does this mean my dd age 19 means we won't be allowed to stay there? Sorry if i seem dense, never been to LV and a bit of a novice as you will have gathered.

    If anyone does get the time to go to the Grand Canyons , the Steam train from Williams
    is a novel way to do so.

    Iam not quite sure what you are refering to but as long as whoever checks in is over 21 you will be fine this is the only ID they will ask for
    Its Vegas time -no longer :T a five year old has changed Vegas time to Orlando time

    It's one room. Paris rates are based on double occupancy with a $30 charge for each additional person per night..so if the rate is $60/night you may as well book 2 rooms with 2 people rather than 1 room with 4 people.

    Edited to add that you can't book 2 rooms at the same time - you would book one with 2 people...then book another with 2 people.

    The person booking the room must be 21. Those under 21 can stay in the room.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    That sounds pretty neat...when we went we wanted to do a side trip to the meteorite crater near Williams but it was just too far there and back added onto the rest of the journey back to Vegas.

    Technically I suppose you should be a member (stoneman is the first of us to try a booking through them and he's said above he is going to bring his membership card and will report back if they ask for it - we tend to doubt that they will but can't say for sure).
    At the link I posted there's a list of the casinos within their group but here's a more direct link.

    http://www.lciclubs.com/

    It's free to join most of them...not sure if you can just fill in the online form or if you have to go to the casino to pick up your card (that's how it was when we joined but not sure if the rules have changed)...so if there is one near you it can't hurt to join to get the card.

    You need to go to the club in person to verify your ID then they will print a card out for you while you are there. If the saving to be had by going through LCI is substantial then it has got to be worth going to your nearest club even if it is miles away just to make sure you don't get pulled up when you get to Vegas. BTW those rates quoted for Paris of £75 for weekends are actually $75!!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Book to rooms seperatly. That means do the booking process twice using 2 different names and 2 different cards for the one night deposit. If you try to add another room to the same booking the system will not let you do it. It will detect that the name and address are already booked and will ask you to call them if you want to alter your booking. Good idea is to delete your cookies as well. So, book one room for mr. christs, real address and CC number. come out of the system, delete cookies, go back in folowing the link, book another room using Mrs. christa, use a different address and email, the address does not get checked, then try the same CC, if that doesn't work (because the CC might be logged) use another CC
