Booking your room via the hotel web site

Got a question.....

So I go on to the web site of the hotel that I want to stay at

and i want to book my room.

Does it ask for payment info and do you pay for it right away,

or does it ask for payment info and your CC wont get debited

till you check out,

or is all you do is just reserve a room for you for the time

specified.

I dont want to pay for a room now that I wont be seeing till june or july.

Booking your room via the hotel web site

They charge your credit card for the first night only when you make your reservation. This way, if you fail to show up, they are not stiffed on the payment.

It is the same as calling. You will have to give your card number, and it is billed instantly. Only way to get it back is to cancel within policy guidelines (48-to-72 hours prior to arrival), otherwise they will keep it.

shuttles and monorails

Can anyone help me out. I am interested in knowing where the shuttles and monorails are in Vegas. We are going in April. We would like to know some alternatives to the bus and taxis. Thanks!

Try this site...

shuttles and monorails

There is the LVMonorail (Lvmonorail.com) that runs from the MGM to the Sahara with several stops in between. $3 per ride, 1 Day $10 and 3 day $25 passes are available. As well as 10 rides for $20. There is a Tram that runs between Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay, that is free to ride. And another tram (Curently closed) that runs between Monte Carlo and Bellagio.

Google is a good place to start you might find http://www.lvmonorail.com/ if you search ';las vegas monorail';.

Off-strip hotels like Rio, Orleans, Suncoast, GVR have free shuttles that go to thier sister hotels on the strip, you will find that info on each individual hotel web sites. Most just run every thirty minutes.

There is a trolley that runs around the strip, but you can go google it yourself, not many people use it because it is very slow.

Most other shuttles are from airport to hotel. Cheapest way up and down the strip, and downtown is CAT (bus) 301 and 302.

Anyone know of a cheap golf course in Las Vegas?

I need tee times for a group of 12 on March 26 and would like to definitely pay under $100. Any suggestions?

Anyone know of a cheap golf course in Las Vegas?

You will not get a nice course for that price unless you get a twilight rate. Try Las Vegas Paiute indian reservation (the best in the area I think) or one of the Stallion Mountain courses.

Anyone know of a cheap golf course in Las Vegas?

Black Mtn is one of my faves in that price range....

Is Black Mountain a 18-hole course (not a par 3)?

Black Mountain has 3 9 hole courses.

http://www.teetimesinlasvegas.com/blackmt.htm

Info for Black Mountain.

teetimesinlasvegas.com/LasVegasGolfMap.htm

For all Las Vegas courses.

There%26#39;s one in North Las Vegas on Craig Road between Martin Luther King %26amp; Commerce that%26#39;s advertised for like $20. I can%26#39;t tell you if it%26#39;s any good or not, I just drive past it on the way to the bar.

Yep - Black Mtn recently opened a 3rd nine. Beautiful views of the mountains. This is the course that Tiger caddied for his Stanford roommate a few years back.

The one on Craig Rd is the Craig Ranch Golf Course. JMHO, but if you want to play cheap just for the sake of playing, this place is it. I played there once and that was enough - tee boxes needed work, fairways are tight (run parallel to each other) and very spotty and greens were hard as a rock. Place is close to Nellis AFB, so the scenery is ';interesting';. Definitely a beginners course - 6000 yards with a 64.6 rating (from the whites).

My husband and sons just returned this past week from golfing in Las Vegas. They golfed at Silverstone, which might be the one the other post is referring to in North Las Vegas. It was about a 30 minute drive out. They started golfing at 12 noon on Sunday and paid $85 per person. If they had waited until 2 p.m. it would have been $25, but they couldn%26#39;t get 18 holes in. The other one that they golfed at was Rhodes Ranch. They started there on Monday at 11 a.m. and paid $85 per person. They have a sister course called Angel Park, I believe also where my husband has golfed. You can find both of these courses by google.com

Tuscany in Henderson is excellent. After 10:30 green fee and cart is $55 for non residents, otherwise $75.

Which hotel has the best pool?

er thats it...thanks in advance.

Which hotel has the best pool?

of all the pools i%26#39;ve been too, i thought the hard rock was the best.

Which hotel has the best pool?

All depends on what you like in a pool. Mandalay and maonte Carlo have wave pools. Kind of like being in the ocean, but with cleaner water. MGM and Monte Carlo have Lazy rivers. Grab a float and go round and round in circles. Mandalay and Caesar%26#39;s Palace have European Style bathing areas. Women are allowed to go topless. Flamingo, Mirage and Rio%26#39;s pools have waterfalls. Flamingo%26#39;s pool has waterslides for the kids. Hard Rock and Palms pools are reported to have the best looking 20 somethings hanging around.

My three favorites, in order are:

Caesar%26#39;s Palace

Mandalay Bay

Mirage

Mandalay Bay

moorea beach club and mandalay bay would be my top

I%26#39;m always amazed that people pick MB. Personally I have never seen a busier poolside area, you need to get there early to get a lounger and then you%26#39;ll be lucky if there%26#39;s more that a couple of feet between you and the stranger next to you (even less by the wave pool !).

If you want to relax by the pool then no way MB.

mandalay bay, mirage, caesars

The RIO is very underrated in my opinion.

I think they have 3-4 pools with waterfalls. One of the pools has a man-made beach, but the sand is VERY hot. There are 3 whirlpools with waterfalls. You will have no problem finding a lounge chair. The grill has excellent drinks and food. The whole layout is very spacious and so uncrowded.

Agree with Mandalay Bay! If you go there, rent a cabana for the day - it was well worth the $$

Anyone know if TI guests can go to the Mirage pool?

Mac King Magic Show at Harrahs

Saw this show over the weekend. Very, very good! I have seen Lance Burton and David Copperfield and would rank Mac higher based on the price. The show is only $18.95. You will not spend a better $19 in all of vegas. Trust me it is worth it. He has 2 shows each day...at 1 %26amp; 3. The show was very funny as well.

Mac King Magic Show at Harrahs

i am with you , best show in town for the money , great for all ages

a lot of 241 out there we paid 24.50 for three,

best to get there 30 min b4

with many of his tricks cards, goldfish,etc. its best to tip for up close center,

we were there on slow day showroom was maybe 25-30 % full

Mac King Magic Show at Harrahs

We saw him last summer. Great show. If you sign up for players card at harrahs i believe they give you 2 comp tickets if you buy a drink a person. Well worth it.

Yes, that is true, sign up for rewards or stay at harrahs and you get the tickets for free. Good show, family oriented but with some %26#39;s e x%26#39; funny talk as well....enjoyed it....

Shuttle to Rio

Does anyone know what hotel has the shuttle to and from the Rio

Shuttle to Rio

Harrahs has a shuttle. It runs 24 hours a day and boards at Harrahs by the valet service. It picks up at Rio by the Carnival World Buffet.

Shuttle to Rio

Wow, they drive through the casino to pick you up?? How convenient ;-)

Is the Palms within walking distance from Rio? It looks like it is on a map, but those Vegas maps are quite deceptive sometimes!

Dawn,

Palms is across the Street and down maybe 200 yards from the Rio. It is actually across Flamingo from the Gold Coast.

easiest way into the hot clubs???

how do you get into the hot clubs with out standing in line...on Vegas.com they offer something called front of line passes...do they work?

looking to go to the following Rain, Ghost as we are staying at the Palm, Rum Jungle and Tabu...

are some nights better than others, for some of these?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...its our first time to vegas and want to do as much as possible and get it right.

easiest way into the hot clubs???

Yes, either get a front of line pass or VIP table. And yes, they work. My wife and I have never had to wait in line with these passes, even on crowded Saturday nights, and have never had any problems with being on the list. Vegas.com is very good, as is travelnice.com. There is overlap of the clubs they cover, but they each have passes for some clubs the other doesn%26#39;t have - I would check out both places.

As for nights - Rain has something called ';Drenched Thursdays,'; but I%26#39;m not sure what that is. EDEN night (Tuesday) at Studio 54 is good - the entertainment (suspended over the dance floor) is really impressive, and very sexy. Tabu is good pretty much any night - I don%26#39;t think they have any specials. Hope this helps...

easiest way into the hot clubs???

it does...thanks so much!!! we are very confused with all there is to do, and looking to get as much wild partying in as possible!

Looking to refresh question to see i get more responses...

Vegas.com line passes definetly work..and i highly recommend. Wife and I used them in feb for Studio 54, Rain, Ra. Each club had very long lines. You can walk right up front and your name will be on the guest list. NO PROBLEMS.

you don%26#39;t need a line pass for rumjungle just a late dinner reservation. The restaurant turns into a nightclub after dinner. Just ask for the latest time for reservation. P.S.-don%26#39;t order anything expensive. I thought the food was average at best, but the club was right in line with a high energy club in LA, NYC, Miami and Big D (of course)

By looking good
