    So tempted to move to Vegas.

    Have to give up blackjack first though. Or drinking. Or both.

    Moon in the Palms is class along with the playboy lounge just below it.

    So might be headin to vegas for a few days in July - just wondering is it cheaper to book accomadation before one arrives or is it the same if we just walk into some hotel?

    Also people talk about getting money wired across to rio etc?
    Can one not just use laser in an ATM, and also with regard ID - Do they accept any other forms other than passport?

    Thanks

    If you are arriving say on a tuesday afternoon you would probably get very good deals on room prices, the opposite if arriving on a friday evening/sat morning. If you are happy to spend an hour on the phone when you arrive in Vegas checking room prices then it would probably save you degenerate dollars for your stay.

    Yup, In New York New York in May. Didn't work, but I reckon that was because we arrived at 23:30 on a Saturday night.

    2 weeks ago in the Venetian

    There were 5 of us (2 adults 3 kids)

    She went and spoke to the manager and said that the only complimentary upgrades would be to bigger suites with one king so not suitable for the family.

    She comp'ed us the rollaway bed we needed (normally a $20 charge per night) + a fridge so overall I would say that the $20 tip worked but not to get a better suite.

    BTW I played poker at the Venetian 3 times which is an excellent room - and at the Rio once (went over to have a look at the WSOP) which was crap - waited 45 mins to sit at a table right beside noisy slots.

    Does any site have a list of all vegas tournaments and is reasonably up to date?

    I stayed a week at the Mandalay Bay last month. It's too far from the action. It's about 15 minutes to walk to the hotel next door to it, The Luxor. And then another 15 minutes to get to the next hotel New York New York, which is pretty central. It's a very quiet hotel compared to somewhere like the MGM which was packed out.

    Very cheap though. 2 of us paid just over $250 each for a twin room for 7 days and that includes plenty of rip off mini bar drinks and food.

    New York New York would be the hotel I'd recommend. We spent half the week in there.

    Actually, after the week of drinking and gambling we booked into the old Tropicana hotel and slept for 2 days. If you're just looking for a bed it's right in the centre and just $40 a night for twin room.

    Would ye advise bringing cash over there or having it in ur account? I've heard the transaction fees and exchange rates you get are a RIP!

    Also what do people think of the sahara? Think u can get rooms for like $20 a night atm
