anybody have any suggestions? ]]> Non-Vegas Chat cpreston http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79097 Best clubs to hit up over Memorial Day Wknd http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79096&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 20:04:59 GMT Hi,

Been to Vegas a few times and have hit up several clubs in the past, including Pure, Ghostbar, Tryst etc. But haven't been since 2008 and I see there are some nice new ones out there. Any recommendations you can give me and my male companion for Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night? We like a vareity of music, including rock, hip hop, electric, country (not hard rap).

Also we considered XS, but they are already preselling tickets for 100 bucks for the guys. Can we just decide the day of and go to a concierge and buy the tickets a few hours before the club opens? That's how I believe we did it in the past. I'm fairly attractive so maybe he could cut us a break or something? Just not sure if I run the chance they sell out for Memorial Day wknd. I really didnt want to lock us in a week out since I'm not sure what day(s) we really want to go. ]]> Vegas Nightlife mrsneil948 http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79096 Group Rate for Plaza Memorial Weekend http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79095&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 18:34:58 GMT Hi everyone-

We have a group rate for the Plaza hotel Memorial weekend, it's a great deal ($80/ night) but had some last minute cancellations and we are looking to use up the group rate so we don't get stuck paying what's left.

The Group code is SPSMU12- please feel free to use it or pass it on to someone you may know going next weekend, we would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I found "business casual" and "smart casual". Now, what do those mean? :o

I'm thinking of spending the weekend wearing nice golf shorts and nice golf shirts or button down shirts. I would prefer to wear nice flip-flops all weekend. Is that appropriate for strip steak? Or should I throw in some pants and/or real shoes?

Thanks ]]> VegasGarden http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79092 This might be a really stupid question http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79091&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 17:04:28 GMT I was trying to figure out why neither my husband (platinum) nor I (gold) have received any "slot dollars" in the mail for ANY CET properties, in... like forever

I googled "Total rewards free slot play" and came across the "Total Touch" information,
Redeem Free Slot Play and More
Bypass the lines and redeem your coupons right at your Total Touch console. Make sure you sign up to receive coupons and offers by e-mail now!

Does this mean that the reason we haven't seen them is because we never signed up for the e-mails?



As a gold card holder (we play mostly in Atlantic City) I am still getting mailers with pretty good offers for $$ for table games, but strangely, never for the casino in which I mostly like to pay BJ... always for another CET property (I don't get that)

Also, (another stupid question) my husband wants to know who I'm "giving favors" to in Atlantic City, because when he books weekend rooms with his Platinum card, the room price sometimes doesn't budge from the "non-card holder" rate, but then when he adds my TR card as a companion, the rate drops to either REALLY low (like $29 a night on a weekend) or totally comped for the night

anyone know what gives with that?
(because I am certainly not giving anyone in AC any "favors" if you know what I mean)

Taking my title from the Food Network program.....we just got home yesterday from 8 days in LV. We returned to Bellagio after several years at CP and Paris.

We had the Degustation Menu at Le Cirque on Saturday night with the wine pairing...OMG, it was heaven. I loved everything about the restaurant...it wasn't stuffy. The waiters, the maitre'd and the sommelier were all so personable. We were there for three hours!!! Counting the amuse-bouche, there were 7 courses and we ordered each choice so that we could taste everything. Reading over the selections, I wasn't sure I would like everything as my food tastes are more limited than DH....but each dish was so good, I ate all kinds of unusal ( for me) things.

We normally eat very well in LV as that is the reason I agree to go...to try restaurants.....but this was jus fabulous ]]> queuetee http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79090 RIP Donna Summer http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79089&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 16:27:58 GMT I was a big Disco fan - and just loved Donna Summer's music.

I am looking to go to Las Vegas september 1st - 5th, for mine and a couple friends birthdays. Looking for suites possibly 2-4 suites. any ideas? was looking at mgm but they dont allow us to book on the 1st and now only suites with a king bed are available. The price for the suites at mgm are amazing from sunday - wednesday. Is there a way to find out if there are couch pull outs in the suites as well? Obviously looking to spend less on the suite so we can spend more once there! lol.
Thanks in advance.

During our first photo we took a cab and he had to drop us off and go park down the street by the convenient store. He wasn't took happy about having to drop us off as he seemed worry we were going to run off instead of paying him.

When we drove by about a year ago it seems they did some construction and incorporated a parking area right by the sign. (This is the sign south of MB.)

We are looking to get a new Vegas photo and was going to take a cab again and would confirmation on if they did indeed adding parking in that area. ]]> Misc.

We've been going to the Rio since the days when they let you in the Voodoo free. The big attraction these days is the location and the CET deals we get there.I envy people who are organized enough to remember each machine or table they play,I dont.
Flight and rental Car,Long flight but we had passes for the United club in the Airport that made the day better and we got upgraded to an exit isle free on the way home. The car rental started out ok at Thrifty the guy went thru a whole presentation showing us what cars in our class were avaiable,we picked one so we walked outside and the kid there we dont have any Impalas but heres a free up grade to a Crown Vic ,nice a police car.Worked out ok,last day gassed it up till the nozzle kicked back and rounded it off. Keep in mind we live in a state where its full service,but I never had an issue before returning a rental fully gased. But this Indian dude did the hand held computer thing and handed me a slip for $20 more. What? Oh you didnt fill the tank sir ,get in and see for yourself. Thats BS and it was just a hair below the line so I slammed the door,cursed him out went to the see the manager and took care of the problem.

Food Did the Gold Coast Breakfast Buffet most days ,tried the Palms once,
it sucked. Did the Ellis Island steak and the Mon Ami Gabi outside and also Margaritaville (tourist trap) . My friend who works at the Rio recommended Noras for Italian ,EXCELLENT! Located in a strip mall on Flamingo.

Gambling, just bad ,
