gimmedempoints - MWC is right on.  During the day it will be hot!  Dry heat my ass. You may not sweat like Florida, but it is very very hot.  During the day shorts and ball cap are a good choice, and like MWC said go back to the room at night to shower and change  into some nicer duds .  Wherever you stay you will rember your first trip for the rest of your life!

gimmedempoints - MWC is right on.  during the day shorts t-shirt and ball cap, they say dry heat my ass. it is very very hot.  at night head back to the room shower and khakis and a polo are perfect, but you will def see a wide range of clothing options during the night ex: suits - jean shorts and crapy t-shirts. 78 more days for you!!!

ogmike - $270 what a deal, where are you flying out off? what site did you book your trip through,and is the $270 air & hotel together? straight through flight?

No I ended up booking a package through Southwest for flight and hotel for just over $600 for 3 nights at MGM.  Straight through from Kansas City on the way there, and one stop in Denver on the way back to KC.  Before I found that package, I had a promo for MGM that would've allowed me to stay for 3 nights at about $270.  Let me know if you're interested in the promo code.

Shoot, I think I did my math wrong...going May 14th-18th.
So...77 days!!!


Morrissey-Thanks for the advice, I figured I'd see lots of different clothes, just didn't want to seem out of place.


Ogmike- what was the promo code, we're looking for a good deal!

Paid $300 just to fly round trip, no stops...Minneapolis-Vegas...is that a bad deal?!

gimmedempoints -

 vegas.com is a great site for packages.  we are going arounf june 7th.  the Bellagio is around $1,100 for two people round trip air straight through from fort lauderdale. 5 days 4 nights.  have checked many sites never found a better package.  we may stay at the wynn encore if the price drops in the next few weeks.  I have been checking the prices about every 10 days, and they keep falling.

Go to mgmgrand.com and type in MGM023.  I originally had SDM021 that gave 3 weekend nights for $270, but it expired.  This code still gives a pretty solid deal.  One week away, baby!!!

Hey ogmike, looks like that offer expired...and it was only good Sunday-Thursday, and we're staying Thursday-Monday. Oh well, I think we found rooms that averaged out to be about $90 a night at Ballys. 3 nights get one free or something? I'm trying not to worry too much about the money since it's my first time and I just want to enjoy it!!

As for my next trip, I hope to scout out the best deals.

Thanks for the promo code, and let me know if you find anything else!

Well our flights are booked...around $300 a person, and with 4 of us jammed in a room, it'll only be around $100 a person for 4 nights. Luckily one of the guys staying with us is only staying one night!


All in all, $400 for non stop round trip flight, for 4 nights on the weekend! Not to shabby if you ask me! Am I right? Not to mention I plan on tripling that once I get there and bringing it back to Minny.

Hey all,

What does everyone think of the Excalibur?!?!

I've read alot of reviews, and from what most say, it's kind of a dump...we can get 4 nights (on the weekend) for like 330. We will only be using the room to clean up/shower, and sleep.

gimmedempoints - Excalibur, average at best, but again like you said all you need is a hot shower and clean sheets.  If you were taking wife/girlfriend I would def. say no.

No worries boys...looks like a buddy of mine is getting us hooked up at the Westin. He travels to Dallas 2 times a month, and has a bunch of comps built up. So we can get a pretty sweet deal...$130 a night, but it looks ALOT nicer than Excalibur. And this way he'll get more points on his comp card...(we're heading to Seattle in June to watch my Minnesota Twins take on Ken Griffey Jr and the Mariners) So we'll get 3 free nights there with these comps.

Thanks for the input Morrissy
96 days for you!
72 days for me! I'll def let you know how my first time was!

If you pay $130 a night in Vgas that would be a crime. go online and pick a room anywhere for less -Good Luck

ogmike- Thanks for looking into that...looks like we might just keep looking for a nice place for a decent price, and if we can't find anything, there will always be cheaper rooms. We're kinda looking to stay alittle closer to the bigger casinos...more in the middle of the strip rather than the South end. It's probably gonna cost a bit more, but I don't want money to be a big factor my first time there!

Hope your trip is/was great! Let us know how it went!

gimmedempoints - the hotel/packages at vegas.com right now are insane!  the paris which is located across the street from bellagio and is connected to balys is $385 for 4 nights and that includes round trip airfare from ft. lauderdale.  i also saw the bellagio was $499 for the same trip 4 nights with airfare. i have 13 weeks left and have always booked my trip by now, but the prices with this shitty economy are dropping by the day.  g.l. in whatever you choose, but check out vegas.com and select hotels only you will be surprised.
