What Valour said.

Haze, XS, Marquee and probably Tao are your best clubs in Vegas.

Those hotels also have the dayclub where its an all out pool party orgy (well not really).

Make sure to dress to impress and bring $$$$$$. If you are all guys good luck getting in....

Try and talk to your hotel's concierge or if you can find the club specific host to put you on the guest list to get you in.

You'd most likely have to grease the host and also the bounce before even getting into the club. But once in, its AWESOME!

How much are car rentals in Vegas? Is there some site to check for cheaper rentals?

Just came back from Vegas - it was pretty awesome.

TI- Fri/Sat

^ we had fun :)

For those that the $20 trick has worked, how much better of a room have you gotten?
I got the Rialto suite at Venetian booked in August for me and some friends (Rialto Suite - Las Vegas Suites - The Venetian - Resort, Hotel, Casino.), but would be cool to get a couple connected rooms instead or penthouse, but not sure if that`s pushing my luck.

:ahwow: What was your original room class?

How long the coupon valid until?

Deluxe strip view room

12 months. I paid $124 deposit that will be refunded in cash, dining/entertainment/gaming when I check out. I have 30 days to cancel and get my cash back.

Not very expensive. I've done car rental for two of our Vegas trips and was very glad to have done it. Depends on the type of trip though. If it's a stag and all you'll be doing is drinking and partying all day everyday, then maybe not. But if you're there with a significant other or some more laid back friends to do some exploring, it's definitely nice to have a vehicle at your disposal.

I remember one trip, a four day rental of a Ford Focus cost under $100 total. The second time, I rented a big Dodge Caravan and I think it cost about $150 for four days.

^which rental company did you rent from?

The first time was from Avis... the second time might have been from Dollar.

But it doesn't really matter... I would recommend using price comparison sites to find the best deal.

i'm still under 25 so i hope one of the companys would waive the underage fee...

I tried a couple times. They still insisted on me paying the extra $50 or whatever is is to rent. It ended up being cheaper just to cab it for me.

$20 Trick and getting upgrades in Las Vegas Hotels
 

I find the $20 trick and getting upgrades varies from time to time and hotel to hotel. It also depends where you booked your original reservation.

Here is when/where I tried the $20 trick

September 2010 - Wynn
- Checked in on a Saturday pretty early at about 11am.
- They were still busy checking people out and cleaning rooms asked us to return at 1pm.
- When we returned offered the $20 trick and was upgraded to the similar type of room but high 38th floor center strip view (lake of dreams and fashion show mall)
- Originally booked through Expedia
- Success

May 2012 - Vdara
- Checked in on Friday.
- Upgraded to 40 something floor with Bellagio Fountain View. Same room type however.
- Booked through Expedia
- Success

June 2012 (EDC weekend) - Aria
- Check in on Sunday
- Got a mid level floor with Mandarin Oriental / MC pool view.
- Clerk in the VIP guest wouldn't budge and give me a better upgrade
- Booked on a Player's Comp offer (2 free nights)
- Failed

I think YMMV. Seems like it's better to book through Expedia and go in large groups to try and see if you can get a better upgrade.

Rarely do I see people book the cheapest room and get a 2-3 level upgrade - anyone wanna share their story?

Alot of factors probably

If it's not a busy weekend (no conventions, fights, concerts) and if the hotel is not busy probably you might get a decent upgrade.

Helps if you have a lot of rooms booked (3+) and all go check-out together give a big tip? (maybe try $50) and see if they would bump you up.

That's a special case then.

Actually, this made me remember... the first time was from Enterprise, and the second time was Avis.

I remember this now because I was also under 25 the first time, but I was able to find a code that waived the underage fee.

I just checked, and it's still valid.

For Enterprise, I used the Beta Gamma Sigma code: 01A8037

You can click on this link: Enterprise Rent-A-Car - Rental Cars at Low Rates

I checked with and without this code, and it still does work.

I didn't have to prove my membership with Beta Gamma Sigma when I picked up the car.

Apparently these are similar codes for Avis and Hertz... I haven't verified them though.

HERTZ: 13000 American Bar Association
Avis: X352100 Regency Development

Awesome thanks, I'll be going with two girls to Vegas. Hopefully it's easier for me to get in

I also saw all the glowing reviews of WS at Cosmo, one tip that caught my eye was to go at LUNCH. It's a much better deal.

I went there for brunch/lunch on Sunday back in June. We got there pretty late and they said the lunch buffet was closing soon but we waited anyway, the lineup was like 45m-1h long.
The price for lunch buffet was only $22, plus one free glass of Mimosa or Mojito. Most restaurants will charge anywhere between $7-$10 for a cocktail so technically you are getting into the buffet for $15.
The quality of the food was quite good, they had delicious soft-poached egg bennies and I like how they use many small plates to present the food rather than 1 big tray of slop. The prawn cocktails were a bit dry. Service was excellent.
The black guy making the omelette was freakin' hilarious he was putting on his own little comedy cooking show for the waiting crowd.

Earl of Sandwich was delicious hangover food.
Carnegie Deli for the most monstrous pastrami sandwich I've ever seen.

Prime Steakhouse in Bellagio was awesome, must-try is the Truffle Mashed Potatoes and their Vodka Martini was topnotch, (pick the Russian vodka on their menu, I can't remember the name off the top of my head right now), also ask for the patio so you get a front row seat to the famous Bellagio watershow while enjoying your meal, but don't sit too close to the railing as you will get the overspray from the fountains onto your steak lol ...

Anybody booking a trip for late August?
I'm looking for deals right now? It seems that 4 nights including airfare is around the $400 range.

Anyone ever rented a vehicle through Dreamcarrentals.com/u-save because a buddy and i are thinking of renting the older gen 1 viper for 5 hours, but it Might be hell without airconditioning though. We may go with the porsche 996 for that reason. Anyways my question is how many hidden fees are there and is it worth the 300$? O ya we are going next saturday :D

edited.

no longer for sale.
