    Have a good one Stuie!


    We fly a week on Saturday, but I feel like death at the moment as we just got home from Rhodes at 03.30 this morning. Will just have recovered from a 2 hour time difference (which usually doesn't bother me) just in time for an 8 hour time difference in the opposite direction.

    oooooooooo, I can post on here again. :j Been blocked from posting on here for a few days - although I could post comments everywhere else.

    Enjoy your trips everybody who is going in the next week or so.

    I've been looking for October. Got a slightly limited budget this time, so no Venetian this time, unfortunately. But, was having a look at SLS and it seems ok.
    The rip off resort fee is a bit high, but no car park fees which balances it out I suppose. (Does anybody have an up to date list of those that don't charge for parking? I keep getting different results when searching)
    It hadn't been open long when we when to LV in 2016, and we had a potter round. Looks nice, and we stayed up there when it was the Sahara site on our first visit in 2001, so we know the area a little bit.
    Just wondered if anybody has actually stayed there?
    Thanks.

    hi
    dontone had the same issues in regard not being able to post on this thread !
    have you got an Mlife account by any chance? I had a look at mine earlier this month and was amazed i was able to book 4 night comp nights at the mgm,though it seems i had a choice of most of the mgm properties( i checked ny ny and mgm park) I have not been to vegas since 2016 so i have not spent money there since.
    hope this may be of some help
    Good luck finding a good deal though!

    Is that the slot games you play on FB and it eats your daily coins in about 3 minutes? :rotfl:
    I play that, but I don't think I have a Mlife account. I only have something like 200k points so I don't know if I'll have enough for comped rooms. Tbh, I'm not sure how to use it, but I'll have a look anyway. Thanks. :T
    Expedia had SLS at £1050 each for two weeks, but it's that s*dding resort fee that is a bit off putting. But, It's about £2k cheaper than some of the other deals. And no car par fees either.
    I wish they would do away with those. It's far too greedy.

    AFAIK, Casino Royale, Circus Circus, Planet Hollywood, Treasure Island, Tropicana, and Venetian also do not charge for (self-)parking.

    Have you had a look at the link for MGM properties I posted above.

    We are staying in October, a mix of comped and paid for.
    Just did a weeks stay at Park MGM for a week in October and the total price is $954, that includes taxes and resort fees...About £752 for a week total...plus you get $350 to spend in any MGM hotel on food and drink.
    Personally I would book a week in 2 different MGM properties and have $700 in free food and drink.

    the fb game is called myvegas !

    No harm in signing up to an Mlife account though.If you are gonna use the Myvegas rewards i think youd be asked to sign up to redeem alot if not most of the rewards( the mgm property rewards anyhow) Its free to sign up.My brother and I have redemed like 10 buffets rewards via myvegas between us on a few trips!(ye ye i know fat so and so's !!!!:). though to be honest we were trying to save some money!
    hope this may be of help
