I have a question for you guys who been to Vegas many times.
I heard that if you have total rewards membership and you do some little casino gambling then next time you can have free nights
Its sort of like when you gamble, points are collected etc..
Anyone know how it works to get free nights or heard about it?
Thanks!

Right on man, didn't hit up any strip clubs? Tao was pretty nuts, but i went when Trey Songz was there.
Dude, the line up for Earl of sandwich was crazy. I was playing the wheel of fortune game across from it.
Glad you had fun.
PS: Planet hollywood is hella dirty, GF saw a cockroach in the washroom! | yeah. i heard trey songs was dope there. met a few girls on sunday that said he killed it. earl of sandwich lineup was pretty mental. but they moved it along pretty quick. plus the sandwiches are a pretty good deal especially on the strip.
p.s. the cosmopolitan is a SICK hotel. i swear there were dime pieces EVERYWHERE!!!
p.p.s. spearmint rhino is the shittttttt. dont waste your time with any other peeler bar. lol

XS is awesome, Pure is good, Marquee if you can get in. Quote:

Thanks! | Sign up for a membership card at the hotel and then just start playing, but to be offered free nights you really have to gamble a LOT. If you only plan to play casually then you will only end up with a bunch of spam mail with pre-sale tickets to random concerts at their hotel chain.

Yeah I want to go to Tao then at least 1 poolside club (anyone got a recommendation) where going out Friday night and Saturday night there's 5 of us but apparently some of our friends might also fly out. I e mailed a guy from Tao asking about pricing and what not we want a table so he's like $450 min per 3 ppl so it's about $200 a person and we'll grab 3 bottles. Anywhere we plan on going we want bottle service for sure

Planning on driving down June 1-3rd for a VW meet with a bunch of friends. Any tips for the ride down? Places to rest etc. Google states its 20hrs non stop so were going to cycle driving and do it without resting.
The organizers for the car meet bought out the hotel for the weekend but its off the strip. Cheap at 75 a night but is it worth it to spend 150+ for a hotel on strip as what other suggested? We'll be driving so will parking be terrible around the busy areas?

You and/your friend might not need it....but the car certainly does. Try to give it at least 30mins+ to cool...and take that time to eat or something.

i got monte carlo for $60 a night for 6 nights when i went last week of August.
pretty much right in the middle of the strip.
there's a groupon right now for palace station (off strip) for $59/2 nights sun-wed check in then $69/2 nights for thurs-sat check in. cheap and i dont know about you, but when im in vegas im in the hotel just to nap and get ready so it doesnt matter to me if its nice or not, esp with my friends.

pit boss is the guy who is keeping track of the amount you bet per hand vs. the time spent at the table. If he sees you are constantly betting $50/hand and you've sat there for 5 hrs, you'll get some nice perks - free hotel rooms. You'll get nothing if you're only there for 20-30 mins.

Thats the exact hotel the organizers bought out. Is parking free/cheap on the strip cause I mean if were driving mind as well stay out of strip and just drive in and not have to worry about cabs and stuff.

i dunno whi it is like at other casinos, but palazzo has a 2 hr minimum play with a minimum of $25 per hand before you get any perks
no such thiing as cheating the system

MGM Grand, yay or nay? $450 for 4 nights seems reasonable for their new rooms.
