I stayed there in a garden room and thought it was pretty good, some people have had bad experiences. You're right across from MGM and really close to hooters.

Looking forward to that one. I'm going next month.
Personally i don't know cause i haven't gone myself. But I have 3 different friends that all went recently. I'll ask them about it and get back to you. But I'm almost certain they all went to the same place though.

This is the place I think they all went to.

Must do

$20 trick at the check in desk.

Try and be slick and sauve about it

Say you are in Vegas for anniversary and when the clerk at the desk ask for your ID and credit card, slip them a $20 and hopefully they'll upgrade your room for the stay.

Search RFD for $20 trick to get a better understanding.

this works but you don't have to lie, just ask for a complimentary upgrade and have the 20 dollars in between your DL and CC.

i was upgraded to a penthouse suite on the 33rd floor out of 34.

Talked to 2 of my friends who went recently. The following prices are what they remember it being around. So it might nto be on the dollar but close.


$20 for a handgun and 20 rounds

$40 for a shotty and 10 rounds or $60 for 20 shots

$50 for sniper rilfe they think

$75 for 50 rounds of a mp5

$80 for the colt

omg how could I have forgotten about freemont street, lol.. While down there go to Le Bayou, go to the back of the place and get one of those yard drinks Make sure though that if you do, get it before 12 as I think that's the last bus from freemont back to the strip (If you're staying on the strip and taking the bus) and they don't let you bring drinks on the bus.

New York's roller coaster was pretty good. The first drop was scary as hell to me once I saw how high we were, lol

any reviews for Luxor or Monte Carlo?

where can you check in your luggages?

Arriving in Vegas at 11am before check in time which is 3pm
lAnd Leaving Vegas at 6:30pm before the check out time which is 11am.

I googled both hotels and I cant find any luggages rules.
So any ideas where we can leave our luggages?
we dont mind if we can leave it in any other places since I am planning to take my friends to hoover dam/grand canyon in the afternoon of first day

and shopping on the last day of the trip.

from what I hear on tripadvisor.com you can still check in and if the room isn't ready just check your luggage and come back when they say

Thanks for the info Winson and static... I will definitely check this out hehe.

As for Fremont street, i didn't get a chance to go there last time but is it really full of crackheads, etc? lol

As for your bags, I heard you can leave it at the lobby or some sort then just come back and get it when leaving.

Thanks guys!

Yeap. I called both hotels yesterday and they said not to worries about our luggages. Yay

August 24-August 27(Friday to Monday)
$345 for
3 nights and 4 days in Luxor hotel
including our air tickets.




I have found this site with a lot of coupons for Vegas hotels, shows, shoppings and activities. That's where we got our deal.
:-p
