Just got back from a stay at Caesar's for 2 nights. Went with the gf and said it was our 5 year anniversary (not quite) and got a room upgrade. TRDood, try quikshuttle, I've used them before and had no complaints. Check the entertainment book to see if there is a coupon too and I think they may have student deals.

I usually save a bit booking separately, or they'll have better promos like dining credits and what not. If there's a min 2 night stay for the promo, i usually do 2 separate reservations, one under me and one under my wife, and then combine them at check in. Last trip to Aria, had $200 resort credits, was pretty sweet to spend. Cheap Las Vegas Specials, Las Vegas Hotel Deals, Free Vegas Coupons for promo codes and show tickets

How was it? The Baccarat buffet right? I heard they spent a lot of money re-designing it. Quote:

it's more fun | *Its the bachannel buffet (not baccarat) I think they purposely named it this way similar to baccarat.
The buffet is awesome they spent like 15-20M to re-renovate the entire layout.
You guys really gotta go try. The only pitfall is that the price was alot cheaper when it opened but due to popular demand they have since raised the prices and added a lot more restrictions (dinner time starts at 4pm!!!!).
Still long line up for it.

I find their hotel discounts are not as good as Expedia's, when booking as flight+hotel package.
Not a hot deal, but still good. $100 giftcard at Crystals with hotel bookings.

Not a hot deal, but still good. $100 giftcard at Crystals with hotel bookings. | My wife and I went from Monday last week until Friday (Oct.22-26) and it was 858$ USD (after all of Allegiants Fee's) for both us Hotel+Flight+Transfers @ Planet Hollywood. Which I think is still pretty reasonable considering it's only about 50$ more than the last time I went three years ago.
Side note: I'll never buy or use the Bus Transfer Company that Allegiant has partnered with both times I've gone the service was shit narrowly missing Departing flights. Save the 30$ and just use a cab; works out to about the same.

I called them a day before hand to let them know we're leaving, however, on that day, we waited for 20 minutes and they never came to pick us up from the hotel. We took a taxi, and it only cost around $15 including tip to the airport (traffic wasn't bad), and only took 10 minutes.

From what I've read they called it the Baccarat Buffet 
Sauce : Baccarat Buffet: Caesar
Have you tried other ones? I have had almost every "good" buffet there are in Vegas and was wondering if it was worth it to eat this one.
If it is then I'll head there | |

It's bacchanal as per Ceasar's hotel website: Bacchanal Buffet - Las Vegas Restaurants - Caesars Palace
I tried it and it's #1 for me, WYNN and Bellago a far 2nd.
People also love the Cosmo, I tried it personally and thought it was complete shit and not worth it.

Might have been because it was right before Halloween I don't know but it was busy. I went to KOI as well and it was a little more cattered to the older 30's crowd. The DJ played mainly 10 year old Hip-Hop and Top40. Not really my crowd and it wasn't super busy but then again it's not one of the premium NightClubs in LV so you dont pay premium prices. The cheapest bottle service there was 245$ compared to Pure which was about 900$.
Just my 2cents. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Planning a trip to Vegas later this month. Has anyone watch the show "O"? Is it worth it?
I've been browsing the cirque de soleil site for tickets and it appears they don't let you print e-tickets. Instead, they require you to go to their ticket office one-hour prior to the show for tickets. What's the deal there? Anyone have experience buying show tickets online?

Anyone have experience buying show tickets online? | The O-show is probably the best Cirque show in Vegas. Comparing O to KA.
BUT I didn't like it at all. They do a lot if musicals and acts. I expected much more action like the 90 minute ones they bring to Vancouver.
As for tickets, buy middle/front section. The stage is amazing. Will call for O is normal. You can pick your tickets up when you drop by Bellagio. They print it for you there. Don't bother with discount tickets booth because it's never going to be available there. Posted via RS Mobile | |
