This one was a suprise as it's the FIRST offer from the Gold Coast!

2 free nights stay Sunday thru Wednesday arrivials only.
Valid February 4th to May 31
includes a free buffet for 2 at the new Ports of Call Buffet, with 7 serving stations.

Has anyone tried using www.hotwire.com? We're going in April (2-6) and I put those dates it and was offered a 4 star hotel on the strip for $390 including taxes for 4 nights. I haven't booked yet, but I was wondering for feedback on this. It works like Priceline...they give you a price w/out the name of the hotel then you decide how flexible.

Also anyone know what hotels on the strip are 4 stars?

rcb, I'd be concerned what they think is a 4 star hotel? devide that up and it's a coast of almost $100 a night. Ballys you should be able to get cheaper then that, Maybe even Paris or MGM. I doubt very much they are going to be giving you the Venetian or the Bel!
I've always stayed away from these types of deals, afraid I'd end up with the Holiday Inn Boardwalk or something similar.
If you do try it, I'd be very interested in what you get.

Rosemary,
I agree with Lee by some tour groups the Imperial Palace is considered a 4 star hotel, and you can book them off their website for $42 a night.

Yes, I am concerned about the hotel. For instance, NYNY is not worth it any any price, although some might feel that's a nice hotel. The hook on this offer was that we didn't have to pay more for the Friday night stay.

We already are booked at TI, but I thought I'd keep looking and was curious if anyone had ever tried this. No recommendatoins mean I won't try it.
Thanks for the input.

Got an offer from Caesars
midweek $89, weekend $129 April & May
Midweek $74, weekend $159 June

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flamingo,

April 1 thru May 24,
3 nights, $40 plus tax per night
Sunday thry Thursday only
Friday & Saturday available for $70 a night during this promotion code 2FPP

Email offer from Golden Nugget I got last week:

3/24-4/3, 4/10-11, 4/24-25, 4/28-30, 5/1-5/2

24.50 per person per night on these dates.
Includes 1 buffet, 1 spa pass, 2 cocktails.

800-634-3454 code = WEBUP. Book by 3/15 to get these rates.

Appears to include Easter weekend, which surprises me. Isn't it crowded then?

I would request the North Tower, the South Tower is a long hike. This might not be available for North Tower, or they might tack on some.

As of today (3/27) they renewed the offer by email and added these dates: 4/16, 4/17, 4/21 Reserve by 4/5/2002 for this rate.

Sipsey,
It doesn't seem that Easter they are expecting a big draw. I noticed many hotels offering good rates that weekend. After 9/11 maybe people are spending more time with friends and family.
Me, I'll be in Vegas!

Sipsey,
Is that code for the GN WEBUP or WEBVP? It's hard to tell by my pc.
Thanks,
Rozz

Rozz, looks like a U, pronounced YOU, to me.

That is correct, it is a U as in Under, Udder, Useless, or Uppity!

Looks like a pretty good offer. I have stayed at GN, it is pretty nice. I don't play slots, but the people we went with do and they said the slots were very tight. I personally can testify that the craps tables were cold!

Sipsey, we were at the Nugget in early Feb and felt the slots in downtown general were as tight as tight could get. I found the slots looser at the GN than anywhere else. Translated, I lost my money slower at the Nugget.
The week after we returned, our freinds were going to the GN on a junket with 30 others. I warned them about the slots and they confirmed the same on return.
We talked with some people at the airport who stayed on the strip and went downtown for a day and they told me they thought the slots were extremely tight compared to what they were finding on the strip.

Chris, that squares with my friends' experience. He lost a bundle at GN and went to Bellagio to make it up. Same company, but different location. Go figure.

E-Mail offer 2 free nights at Harrahs March 10-12 offer is nontransferable. They realllly limit the dates.

Larry, I hate those very limited offers. They might work for the California & Arizona folks, but for the rest of us they are a big tease!
Could that be thier plan all along???

``````````````````````````
June 2 thru August 29
room rate of $29, Sunday thru Thursday and get the second night free
Must have coupon and I.D. at check in for this offer.

Lee, that deal at MSS is pretty good. No gambling obligation too. If I was going to Las Vegas by myself I would take them up on it. But with the wife I would have to stay on the strip. But that is a pretty decent offer IMO.

John,
Today I got another offer from The California, It'e exactly like the one Main Street sent me. I think these are great offers with no gambling obligation at all. But keep in mind, the only reason I'm probably on this mailing list is because it's a pretty good bet I'll gamble while I'm there! LOL

Lee,

We've also got 3 free at Harrah's or Rio, a few nights at Sam's and the MSS ones.

If you got a Tower Room (and had a car or taxi money to escape the place!) could be agood deal.
