Decent price, water and mountains. Haven't played it, but have spent time in the area and its beautiful. https://reflectionbaygolf.com/ Also good info: https://www.teetimesusa.com/vegas
I haven’t done it in a long time. It takes a lot of hours. Back then you could set it to run an hour by itself and collect giant bonuses. I can’t imagine it’s worth the time and effort now, unless you have an enormous stockpile of coins or whatever to play big. Vegasmessageboard.com has dedicated game forums now if you want to read up on what people are doing these days. It’s a pretty solid site. https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/index.php?forums/casino-game-apps.51/
I'm at 17,000 loyalty points after I think a weekish? Mostly gained yesterday. The app though caps you out at a certain amount of loyalty points you can gain a day. Here's the current comp rates for a room through myVEGAS for a night: Excalibur - 12,500 Luxor - 15,000 MGM grand - 35,000 Park MGM - 50,000 Mirage - 50,000 Bellagio - 125,000 Aria - 150,000 But then I read people on reddit saying how they put up $50 for the 2 night comp for Mirage, Park MGM, MGM grand, Luxor, Excalibur to appear. but then I thought to myself, well, it's $50 for a mid-week night anyway at Mirage, MGM grand, Park MGM, so what's the point in paying for the $50? And I just got to thinking it's whatever. I'm not sure I'll be able to accumulated enough by Monday for my Monday-Thursday stay next week.
Allegedly if you stay have an account, you can run that thing for days to accumulate the loyalty points you missed prior. Loyalty points are apparently time based.
The rewards used to be good when it first came out. Now they’re pretty garbage. I have 360k coins and will probably just use 300,000 on $100 free play to get some extra cash
We went to a locals bar called reBar. It was pretty cool. It's like an antique store and bar at the same time. I want to say they had $3 local brewery cans or something. This was back in 2019 so I'm not sure if it's changed. Velveteen Rabbit is across the street too if you want a few craft cocktails.
Spent a lot of time at the Gold Spike when I worked down there. It wasnt great, but it’s cheap and convenient. Went to therapy, commonwealth, and atomic liquors quite a bit as well.
Has anyone had an issue renting a car from the Airport? We turned our cancelled EDC trip into a national park trip (Bryce, Zion, and North Rim) but now I am nervous that my Costco car reservation won’t be filled due to lack of vehicles. I searched Twitter and it seemed bad in March-Mid April and there hasn’t been that many people complaining about in the last two weeks. Maybe they have more cars now? Idk. Landing at 8PM on 5/20.
where are you staying? Some properties have rental companies on site. Ask your concierge. I’ve done single day from Hertz at Aria to get out to the desert. No dicking around with parking it or getting back and forth. Right there in the garage on the day we wanted it.
Carrentals.com has cars showing for about $90, which means they should probably be reasonably available. They don’t require card or payment, so maybe make one with each major company for your dates as a backup plan. You can always no show the ones you don’t need with no charges.
Wife recently got put in charge of on premise marketing at her company for the two instate colleges. Boss called her last week and told her the university is paying for us to go to the game in Sept at the Raiders stadium, charter flight, and hotel (Mandalay Bay) for the weekend. I haven't been to Vegas since the Giants/Patriots Superbowl (another trip given to her by Miller Lite). Gotta start reading through the thread and anyone that wants to help a fellow tmber and infrequent Vegas guy out, it would be greatly appreciated.
I stayed at MB (4 seasons, technically) in 2018 or 19. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be as far as being marooned down there. Lazy river was good. Rode an elevator with Rob Zombie. I tend to get out and go different places, so my one complaint is that every time I was starting out either with a wait on the Luxor tram or hoofing it through the mandalay place and Luxor to get anywhere. If you plan on exclusive cab/rideshare or car rental you’re good. The stadium should be about as east access as any other where you have to park 6 miles out in the tailgate asphalt desert. The usual advice is eat good food, it’s literally everywhere. I’m a proponent of Walgreens/cvs/ABC tall boys to go. Gamble if you’re into it. If not, there’s a ton of other shit to waste money on. Cirque show if they’re open and you have the time. Lastly, don’t force anything. You can always come back. I like to have a very loose itinerary with maybe one or two things to plan for and just do the rest as it comes, or doesn’t.
Completely disagree. Probably 85% compliance inside. Down from when I was there in august, but still majority. Probably 70% mask outside.
2.5 years ago I was the last in my group to fly out, I had an early morning flight monday, they left sunday evening. Through MLife i think I had a free night there. Expected the worst, but the room was brand new, big clean, and free. Worked nicely. I think they were renovating in sections, and I guess I lucked out. But I imagine by now they are all renovated?
Seem recently redone to me. On the resort side not the jubilee side. No complaints here. I think it’s a great deal.
Agree. I saw probably 80% mask compliance in casinos when I went 3 weeks ago everyone was smoking weed on the strip so outside there wasn’t... but it was better than I expected
If anyone is planning on going out around July 10 or knows someone who might be interested in Garth @ the Raiders stadium hit me with a PM. Trying to unload 2 tickets since I can’t go out that weekend.
Are the plexiglass dividers still up at tables or is Vegas back to pretty much being open with no masks
As of last week they were up. Caught a few tables without but 90% still had them up. Masks went from 70% to 35-40% from Wednesday night to Thursday night when cdc announced drop wearing masks.
