Is This a Good Deal

Last time in Vegas was Dec 2008.. had issues on US AIR so they gave me some plane vouchers .

Couldn't go in March 2009 .. work/economy etc..

Things are better now so I just booked 5 days at the RIO  for $420 bucks and the plane voucher netted me a cost of 80 bucks .

So the total for travel is $500 for 5 days

Did I get a good deal.. I'm not a whale or shamu ..

What dates did you book for the hotel? Weekday or over the weekend?

Make sure and get a players card when you gamble.

You may be able to get the rooms comp'ed at the end or at least set yourself up for next time

I always get free rooms in Vegas from Harrahs

I just looked at March 14-19 on Expedia. You got a really good deal. 80 bucks a night average for your booking is pretty good.

Thanks Boston Ken ...

I'm going for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 .. 24th-28th

Thanks Joey .. :Last time 2 times I went with a friend .. he got comped rooms .. he's a small shamu.. but our friendship ended ..

If you are rated at any casino out here you should be able to get most of the nights comped or atleast a better rate. Casinos are hurting right now...One of my regulars said the Wynn was at %40  last week. Try harder!

yes- bottom line,,5 days in vegas at the rio plus air is a sweet deal no matter how you make it happen~~~~~~~~~~~enjoy

Downtown usually has some great deals, and the Players Card is a must. Don't be afraid to ask for Buffet tickets or show tickets, you never know if you don't ask.

 GL my friend.

I will echo the sentiments of the rest of the players....

Dont be afraid to ask....for anything

And charge everything to the room. At the end, go to the casino host on call and see how much you can get written off your bill.
