Hotels and Flights

[Bralo20]

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

 

Most of the hotels are indeed charging for WiFi, not only in Vegas though... However, when an hotel in Vegas charges a "resort fee" it will most lilkely includes WiFi.

The fee for "high speed" internet is something about 10 & 15 USD per 24h in Vegas.

 

I don't mind paying for WiFi because I'm used to it when I travel, but if you don't like paying for it just take your laptop to a McDo's for example where they have free WiFi.

[Lucie]

yeah and there is a McD's close to the Imperial Palace if people don't want to pay!

 

last time I stayed at IP (summer of 2007? I think?) they did charge for wifi.

[ennostiel]

Well but if it is possible to go to McD's or some other restaurant/cafe outsid the hotel to use WiFi free of charge, then it's hardly a problem

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?

 

 

count me in..

[RBirr]

If you book the rooms at a group rate, how do you get paid from each individual? Don't you need the $$$ prior to making the reservation to reserve the room(s) for all dates requested? I booked at the Flamingo, which is right next door for $55/night without a group rate. I cannot wait to see our "Canadian Songbird" back on the Colosseum Stage

[Cheerfuljane]

I haven't worked out those details yet. Most likely I will make the reservations and everyone will have to call to give a credit card number to secure their room.

 

We'll see.

[maceta_biloxi]

I think to book all the rooms under one name is going to be difficult, now that the IP is available people should start making reservation before it's all booked up. Vegas will be crazy that week.

[Tyler1991]

I definitely want to stay with the group, but don't know all my details yet....school ended today so within the next few weeks I'll try to sort some stuff out.

 

I'm going to the shows on the 15th and 16th. I'll probably want to leave on the 17th and arrive either on the 14th or early 15th. Not sure yet....

[nuts2you]

to cheerfuljane; I have a question is there going to be anyone choices of hotels to chose from, so that we can stay as a group..instead of just one.

 

one more thing to everyone:: when is everyone going to start to find or book airfares, to Lv..???

[Cheerfuljane]

I'm only making one group booking at one hotel, but there are many people staying at different hotels so I am gonna put a list together and call the hotels to put those rooms together. Only for those people that want to participate of course.

 

I am only booking my flights in December or January, but I'm only coming from Texas

I'm considering driving too. Dunno, we'll see.

What does "not that expensive" mean? And what are the prices in Flamingo? Is it possible to find something on the Strip for less than $40 a night for one person? Maybe some girls from here would like to join me and share a room, I'll be coming alone

 

 

I was getting ready to post something to that . I would be willing to share a room with you if you want to. PARTY ON CELINE FANS.

[churchill28]

Who has stayed at the Flamingo before??

What is your opinion of it?

 

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.

dont seem very expensive right? with a normal salary, the money just where and how much can get expensive stay in a hotel for 3 days?

thats fine and dainy, but can u helps us for a group rate as well. How about a night club afterward.. can u help us there as well. WE all want to stay together as a group..

[Der_Griffon]

I'll be interested in the IP offer, cheerfuljane!

There's gonna be four of us, so I dunno if that counts as one room or two, or what?

[Cheerfuljane]

You can have 4 in 1 room. There will be 2 queen size beds, so as long as you don't mind sharing beds, you'll be fine.

That's what we've always done in the past.

 

Some people even brought sleeping bags and slept on the floor. It just saves you so much money.

You won't spend much time in your rooms anyway. There are just too many fun things to do. The only problem with a lot of people in 1 room is that you have to share 1 bathroom, so work on a schedule in advance. Especially for the evening times when you're getting ready for the show.

 

The final hotel details will be up by Monday

[Edwin]

I definitely want to stay with the group, but don't know all my details yet....school ended today so within the next few weeks I'll try to sort some stuff out.

 

I'm going to the shows on the 15th and 16th. I'll probably want to leave on the 17th and arrive either on the 14th or early 15th. Not sure yet....

We have the same schedule, lol. I want to get in the day before so I am not so tired the day of show. March 14th - March 17th. And I will stay at either IP or Flamingo.

[mickle07]

Cheerfuljane...the IP offer sounds great! Count me and my 2 friends in for one room with two beds...

 

We will be arriving in Vegas on Monday the 14th and leaving on Thursday the 17th...

I'm probably going to stay at MGM Signature. I've checked the rates on the website of THEhotel and they are a bit to high for what you get... So I checked out MGM Signature (which is also closer to Caesars) and the rates are good, even for the one bedroom suite... But since I don't like to pay the full price I placed a call to VIP services at MGM to get at least the casino rate for players (I have a Playersclub account with plenty of (free) offers) but I need to call back in a couple of weeks, their new system is only going to December 2010 for the moment... Oh well, if the rate is fine I won't mind calling again later

 

So my schedule (90% certainty)

 

Hotel: Signature @ MGM Grand

Arrival: March 12, 2011

Departure: March 19, 2011

 

If I can find a decent airfare with United Airlines I'm happy

 

Signature is one of the few hotels with balcony's on the room

[Bralo20]

Damn... I would love to stay at Skylofts @ MGM Grand but with a tag of 900 USD a night it's a bit out of my league But damn, those rooms are nice

Oh, we definitely don't mind sharing, so count us in with he whole group!

That's gonna be so much fun being in one hotel with most of you guys, can't wait!

We're gonna be there from the 14th to the 16th., so that makes three nights.
