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.

Booking your room via the hotel web site

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!

shuttles and monorails

Try this site...

http://www.goingtovegas.com/index.htm#menu

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)

Las Vegas for Teens

Getting married while in Vegas the week of June 19-25, and bringing our 17 year old daughter. Looking for suggestions on a things to do in Vegas for a week, and best hotel for a family.

Las Vegas for Teens

What does she and you like doing together? Movies? Bowling? Shopping? Nothing?

Las Vegas for Teens

If she%26#39;s the typical 17 year old, it would be the latter.

We%26#39;ve taken our daughter to Vegas four times and she loves it, she%26#39;s 14. Some of our favorite hotels to see are Stratosphere, Venetian (the wax museum is there also), Caesar%26#39;s Palace forum shops and statue show, The Hard Rock Hotel (and Cafe) and Rio (the sky parade is a nice free show). Freemont Street is also fun (and free). We always stay at Excalibur because the price is reasonable and we like that end of the Strip best. Even though we can%26#39;t gamble with her around we all have a great time.

Thanks to all for responding.

tlb64 - I%26#39;m sure she would like all of your suggestions... plus we%26#39;ve invited a girlfriend of hers to come along so she%26#39;ll have someone her age to hang with.

Don%26#39;t underestimate hanging at the pool. That%26#39;s something they could do together.

Orleans is reasonable and has a movie theater, bowling alley, and other nongambling activities for the kids. The only potential drawback is that it%26#39;s offstrip. There%26#39;s a big arcade and also a movie theater close to MGM, and they have a good pool.

Can you bring Liqour

I wasnt 100% sure if you could pack liqour in your checked luggage or your carry on i was thinking of bring 2 or three bottles to last me for the week.

Can you bring Liqour

Never tried it. I usually buy it when I get there.

What if the bottles broke and all your clothes smelled like booze! :-(

Can you bring Liqour

There is definitely no issues with domestic flights. Make sure you pack it with a lot of protection.

You can pack and check liquor - generally speaking - (I do not advise carrying on any liquor - bad experience back in 1999 flight to the Sugar Bowl- the Crown Bottles were a%26#39; Flyin!)

There are ';state'; liquor laws that may prohibit interstate transfer but as the Vagas vacationer for personal consumption - you should have no problems - at the airport (Packed and Checked Luggage ).

Hotels have a right to charge a ';cork%26#39;ing'; charge or fee and can prohibit you from bringing in outside bottles. They may charge you a fee for outside bottles! there is a whole list of %26#39;things they can do%26#39; but reality is if you bring a bottle of Champagne, wine, or liter of whisky, you are going to be o.k. There is always the breakage issue mentioned above but even if you buy liquor on the strip or in Vegas, you are going to %26#39;officialy%26#39; be subject to the hotel charge issue.

Don%26#39;t worry - bring what you want - pack it well - otherwise buy it in vegas and have a great time.

WOW, hotels actually do that?!

We always bring beer and wine to our room and keep in the fridge or a cooler and never had any problems. Pretty much do it wherever we go on vacation.

I would be really upset if I was charged for this and probably would NOT stay at that hotel again.

This is the second time I%26#39;ve heard someone say a hotel can charge a corkage fee. That is B.S. A restaurant can charge this if you decide to bring a bottle of your favorite vintage along for dinner. But a hotel can not charge you for what you consume in your room, or in their lobby as far as that goes. As long as you are 21 years or older you can drink as much as you want no matter where you bought it. But if you are drunk and obnoxious security may escort you to your room, or out of the hotel if you%26#39;re not a guest.

Thanks, VM. You%26#39;re the best!!!!

I was starting to get a little nervous. LOL

Don%26#39;t want to get in trouble!!!

There are ';Travelers'; bottles you can buy.... fifths of whatever in blastic bottles instead of glass. that is the way to go if you want to carry on if you ask me.

I am going to take Vegas man%26#39;s advise and instead of paying $300 for a bottle of Absolute at RA or Curve, I am just going to pay my $20 cover, and walk through with my liter of Grey Goose! My Brother will carry the Igloo full of Becks!

When they try to stop me I will refer them to this forum thread.

Thanks Vegas Man!

Weljef, your last response fails to appreciate the difference between a hotel and a restaurant or club. The hotel cannot charge a guest a ';corkage'; charge for the booze that the guest consumes in his/her room. The restaurant (or in your example, club) can forbid you from bringing it in and/or can impose a service charge.

Bar16, I would not bother to drag any bottles with me, unless there was something special that I couldn%26#39;t buy at a normal liquor store. For the normal brands of booze, I%26#39;d just buy in Vegas. Too much trouble to drag the bottles with me (and risk breakage); you think Jersey prices are a heck of a lot better than Vegas prices? I don%26#39;t even bother to buy booze duty-free in the Caribbean any more (unless it is something I can%26#39;t buy at home) -- to save $5 on a bottle, I%26#39;m going to drag it thousands of miles? No, thanks.

Wel,

I see you%26#39;re from Tejas, home of the Drive-Thru liquor stores. Explains a LOT. ;-) As I said, lobby or room, not a nightclub. You might want to get a bigger Stetson next time, me thinks your current on is a bit tight.

question about flying with bmi from manchester airport.

hi i wonder if anyone can help. i am flying with bmi to vegas in june and was wondering if anyone can let me know the seating plan for economy class.

the reason i%26#39;m asking is because my fiance is 6ft 4 and prefers an aisle seat but i like a window seat so i was wondering if the planes to vegas with bmi have only the two seats near the window or whether it is 3 like those when flying in europe. if it were 2 it would mean we both got our way. ive done a bit of research and it does seem there are 2 seats , then a gap, then 3 seats, a gap again then another 2 but i just want someone to confirm this.

thanks

question about flying with bmi from manchester airport.

Ray, best bet is to contact the airline. Sorry dont have first hand info, we fly from Edinburgh. All the best.

question about flying with bmi from manchester airport.

Try this site....

http://seatguru.com

we have flown bmi to vegas on several occasions the seating plan is two on each side and four in the middle.bmi are good to fly with, we have tried united,aa, virgin and us airways and bmi are the best of them.

config usually on bmi is 2/4/2

seats are usually ac defg hk

Hi just travelled with BMI to Vegas in Feb. Seats 2-4-2. Great flight lots of freebies, bottled water, headphones, socks, toothbrush, pen etc. Be warned the check-in/security queue at Manchester airport is very long. We had to wait over a hour, so get there early.

hi

thanks for all your help. that seems great being a 2/4/2.

thanks again

gemma and ray

Here%26#39;s another tip. Go to checkmytrip.com and enter your booking reference number (usually 6 letters and numbers) and surname in the boxes. Details of your flight reservations should show. Click on the plus sign and it will expand to show some useful information including your seat numbers if they have been allocated. Click on the seat number and you can look at a seat map of the plane and see where they are. If you want to change your seat allocations, just get onto BMI or your travel agent and ask.

(But maybe wait until tomorrow - the seat map system looks to be down just at the moment)

Has anyone heard or seen any reviews of the new show Erocktica that just opened at Rio last weekend?

Sorry, they canceled the show on Thursday to use the theatre for a Latin concert, going to try again this Thursday!!!

Thanks for the update!

Going tonight. I will post tomorrow :)

Saw this last night. Three words.

Classic rock. Beer. Breasts.

If that sounds like a match made in heaven for you, then you will love it.

If you want something more artistic go to see La Femme.

Not for everyone. Some crowds will love it. Some will be totally turned off.

can u be more specific?

do they have clothes on?

is it all music or more of a ';show';.

do the girls go into the audience?

are there any guys?

thanks,

Sorry to be so descriptive- just wanted to help paint the whole picture so those going know what they are going to see...

$60 tickets for Mystere

Hi All

I am looking at booked tickets for the above, 10.30 an a Saturday night.

For $60 the seats are Nos 1 %26amp; 2 on Row AA in block 201. If you imagine a letter U, they would be right at the top of the left hand side. Are these seats going to be very restricted viewing or will they be OK.

Thanks

Neil

$60 tickets for Mystere

I%26#39;ve researched these tickets and apparently, they are great. Lots of good reviews on this site. I%26#39;ll be going there in a few weeks. You cant get a better deal so dont worry

$60 tickets for Mystere

Usually restricted views means you sit by a pillar and can%26#39;t see the whole stage. At Mystere a restricted view means you don%26#39;t see the performers head on, you see them from the side. So, if this is not a big concern for you, go for the lower priced tickets.

Hi Neil

This was a concern of mine too when we looked at exactly the same seats. As posts on here say there are no bad seats for Mystere, I bit the bullet and ordered them. We will see it on 22 April.

Hi Luci5,

We will see it on 23rd April as we do arrive until 16.30 on the 22nd!

Hope the seats are OK for us.

1 and 2 cent slots? 20 line ,50 line?

do they have a lot of 1 and 2 cent slots in LV? where are best places for them? how about Prim, we might stay there. We are from MN and used ti indian casinos and have not been to LV in about 10 yr. (indians take all our gaming money!!) WE are looking forward to trip and havent set date yet but probably in May or sept oct.

1 and 2 cent slots? 20 line ,50 line?

They can be found in Vegas. Stardust, Orleans, Ellis Island, Gold Coast, Suncoast is an incomplete list of casinos that have them.

1 and 2 cent slots? 20 line ,50 line?

I think I saw some 1 and 2 cent slots at NYNY.

They seem to be everywhere. I played them at Monte Carlo, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Imperial Palace and several others last month. But bear in mind, if you play max credits those penny and 2 cent slots aren%26#39;t cheap! Many are 30 lines, 20 credits per line--per spin!

Eek.

I%26#39;ve played them at Belagio and CP. I won $25 at Belagio and about $15 at CP on the one that had a Lobster theme. I think I started with about $5 in the slot machine. Lots of fun for the $.

$174 on one spin on a penny slot at Stardust, within 10 mins of walking in the door! Hadn%26#39;t even checked into the hotel!

thanks all you people for the info.....i already know they can be expensive cuz thats what i play in MN. but you can win a lot on the ones that give bonus games....FUN is what its about.

The only place I didn%26#39;t see 1 and 2 cent slots was the Trop. I also didn%26#39;t see 50 line machines. There was a 40-line with a truck theme in a few casinos but I didn%26#39;t play it.

LEO21 thanks for the info..I will not gamble at the Trp I guess .

it sounds like there will be enough everywhere else though. I will not play these machines exclusively but will most of the time. I am surprized they dont have 50 line cuz we have a lot of them here and they did try hundred liners for a short time but they didnt go over very well. most here are 20 line but some of the 20 liners you can play 50 credits per line. Anyway thx again and good luck on your next slot venture.

Universal Studios

I am staying on the Queen Mary from 5/1 until 5/3. As I am coming from Scotland, Could someone tell me the cheapest, quickest way to get to Universal Studios. Also, I%26#39;ve heard that if you buy a day ticket, it covers you for a visit the next day,. Is that correct?

Universal Studios

You do know that those are both in CA?? Try the Los Angeles, Long Beach or Hollywood forums.

Universal Studios

Universal Studios, huh? They are located in Orlando and LA area. What coast are you referring too? Vegas is in the middle of a desert not far from LA.

Very sorry, its my first time, and I posted it in the wrong forum. Humblest apologies.

Q about MC

Anyone stayed at MC lately?

Do they have coupons etc. for their spa or dinning that they will give you at checkin if you ask.

I do not see any freebees like that from them where as most other casinos seem to be giving them out if u book at their site.

Lyle

comps!mwhat comps??

Do you have a Casino Host that helps you with the hotel bookings? Do you know the dealers and the Floor Supervisor for your gambling game area? more and more...just playing $50/hands for 4 hours isn%26#39;t going to cut it anymore. You will have to get to know the people that work there and ask them how you are doing with your play to recieve the various comps you are looking for. But then again....don%26#39;t gamble just to get comped.

Linn,

There used to be a lot more leeway in deciding how much comps to give someone. Now with corporations running casinos, rather than guys with funny noses and even funnier names, the bottom line is watched more closely. You don%26#39;t see the CEO walking out the back door with the days profits anymore.

One more thing, the $50 you spent at Wal Mart or Maceys, doesn%26#39;t get you today what it did 3 years ago. Why should it get you the same in Vegas?? So, I guess that answers your question, both Vegas and you are getting cheap.

Hows it going, a buddy and I are 20 and are able to go to vegas for cheap over spring break. I was looking on line and pretty much all clubs and whatnot are 21+. Is there any nightlife for 18 and up. Where to meet ladies if not at clubs. If not what to do if only 20. Comment would be greatly apprecited. Thanks,

EZ,

I believe the correct term is SOL (Ship Outta Luck or something close to that). Not much you%26#39;ll be able to do but walk around and look at everyone else having fun. Bars, gambling, clubs, even watching the games in the sportsbooks are all things you won%26#39;t be able to do.

What you can do is eat, shop, movies, pool, sightsee and people watch. Next year you%26#39;ll be able to have a lot more fun.

Although they are old enough for the cards, even the provider is going to card them. I still suggest they just do what I mentioned above. Just one good kick. It would be better than going to Vegas at 20.

I need to be at that stadium early (7 am) on Mon morning (5/9) for business. What is the best transportation option. I%26#39;m only in town for 3 nights and I really dont want to rent a car. If a cab is my only option how much from Aladdin to Boyd?

Sam Boyd Stadium

Cab will get you there and rather quickly, just a Straight shot down Tropicana. You can also take the City bus. Route 201 runs close to the Stadium. The 6:05 bus will drop you off within walking distance of the stadium at 6:41 According to this schedule.

Tattoos

Was wondering if any Las Vegas locals knew of a good tattoo salon. Just a clean place, that does decent work at a decent price. Thanks

Tattoos

Is there any?

I think theres a new place in the Palms Casino(dont know the name of it....Every year I say i%26#39;M GONNA DO IT(get a tat) never do...always chicken out!!!!I%26#39;m pretty sure theres a place at the Palms...It should be clean!!!!Price wise ...Maybe......

I have not priced them, as I don%26#39;t really know what to ask for. I%26#39;m not a tattoo type person. But the H%26amp;H tattoo parlor inside the Palms I bet will be the most expensive in town. Imagine what they have to pay in rent compared to your average tattoo parlor. That extra cost has to be passed along to the customer. Get your tattoo elsewhere and buy a $30 T-shirt here and say you got your tat there.

Yeah, I wish I could think of an interesting tattoo design to get and a good location on my body to get it....if I could I would probably jump on the idea while in Las Vegas. Those with tattoos.... where do you have them and what kinds of unique designs do you have?

I saw two tattoo parlors down by the Strat but I don%26#39;t know what there prices were

Dunno if a Vegas trip would be a good time to get a tat, Sun, swimming and hot tubs would have to be avoided with a fresh tat.

Just had mine finished, one month of healing time before I land in Vegas:-) It%26#39;s a dog paw with my flag (UK) inside the pads, I love it!

I agree with Bodacious, while it may sound like a cool idea, it%26#39;s not. When you get a fresh tat, no swimming or suntanning until it heals (you get a scab the size of you tat, can take 1-2 weeks to fully heal). Plus, with a fresh tat, you need to wash it 3-4 times a day and apply a moisturizer. Basically, if you get a tat in Vegas, nobody will be able to see it and you get to walk around (but no pools or sun) with a scab (big tat == big scab). Fun ;)

Wow.... I knew nothing about tattoos, and glad I mentioned it. I won%26#39;t be getting one in Vegas since I don%26#39;t want to have to tend to it or avoid pools and sun. I guess I don%26#39;t have to be cool afterall.

Very good point Motor except for the water. You should keep it out of the sun but its not a hard fast rule. The sun will however make it hurt worse than it already does. Tanning should be avoided but you can cover it with gauze. But... one rule is absolute with most quality shops... you get what you pay for !!!

Keep in mind that its permanant. If you want to get a tat its best to get references from people you know or meet that have artwork you like and dont ever shop for price. One more thing cyber... its addictive. I started my habit 20 years ago and you should see me now.
