For me, I would prefer to be right in the heart of the strip and near all the action, but I guess it does not matter as long as we are all together. Cant wait, it will be brilliant

I thought I'd share with you an e-mail I received on credit card fraud being done at hotels. Some of you may be aware of this scam already. Here's the message:

 

This is kinda scary if only because of how simple it is. I’ll bet this works all too often. You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in. Someone calls the front desk and asked for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following, ‘This is the front desk”. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card.’

 

Not thinking anything you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. but actually, it is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk. They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card information and address information. Sounding so professional that you do think you are talking to the front desk.

 

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems. Then, go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information acting like a front desk employee. This was sent by someone who has been duped……and is still clearing up the mess….

 

P.S. Please everyone, help spread the word by forwarding this email to everyone you know. Who knows, you might just help someone avoid a nasty experience.

I've been looking at hotels and flights online for las vagas and have noticed that some hotels say that guests have to be over 21. Does that mean the main party leader or all guests. My daughter will be 15 poss 16 when we go to vegas, so will that mean we cant stay in certain hotels.

If someone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

 

[Cheerfuljane]

Just the person that checks them in. It's mainly for liability purposes because Vegas is full of gamblers and drinkers

[andreaB]

[Cheerfuljane]

[Shamrock_1982]

I stayed there in 2006, its very nice, nice pools, clean and a nice sized rooms, comfy beds, and right opposite the colosseum ofcourse, I would recommend it, and I'm very fussy, lol.

Reposting my Flamingo review....hehe!

 

 

Has anyone try the Flamingo. I hear that is nice as well. not sure on $$$$ thought.

 

I stayed at the Flamingo 2 weeks ago when I was in Vegas - from March 9-11, 2010 for 2 nights.

I wrote an extensive hotel & room review on Trip Advisor (a great hotel review website written by travelers)

Review Here

 

I booked the room on Expedia.ca & it was $63 USD/night (incl. taxes) in their Deluxe (regular) room with 2 queen beds.

I figure it should be around the same price for 2011 - give or take a few dollars more based on inflation.

 

Also uploaded a few pics to my Photobucket of the room & property itself... but only exterior

Photos Here

 

Flamingo also have "GO Rooms", which are more modern & nicer looking...but girly colour as it's hot pink!

They ran about $100 USD/night during the same time period I was there.

There is a 42" flat-screen tv with CD/DVD player & iPod compatibility and the washroom has a nice stand-up shower & sink mirror with mini-tv.

[Cheerfuljane]

For the first week:

 

Group Rate at Imperial Hotel:

$45 per room per night.

 

Directly across from Caesars Palace.

Rooms overlooking the Colosseum.

Deluxe Rooms with either one king or two queen beds.

 

I have not booked them yet as I would like to know how many we need first.

 

So who's interested?

Edited May 23, 2010 at 01:53 AM by Cheerfuljane

[ennostiel]

I like it. As long as many people stay there - count me in!

 

Oh and BTW, I have one question. I'm only planning to stay for two nights, March 14th/15th and 15th/16th, but I'm still hoping to extend my stay by at least one day to be able to do some more sightseeing or just hang around with our people; but I'm probably not going to know too soon if I will even be able to do that. Is it going to be possible to extend my reservation for one more night if necessary (I will probably know for sure before July/August)?

[Cheerfuljane]

That's fine. The deadline will only be in November or December.

[ennostiel]

Great, Thanks

[vroni]

sounds good, but they are charging extra for wifi wtf?!

[Alex_Incognito]

Do we still have a group interested in staying at Caesar's Palace!? I feel I MUST stay right where the action is.

[Cheerfuljane]

Closer to the time I will put a list together of who is staying at what hotel.

I will arrange for the rooms to be together for those that are interested.
