He said it was for comp nights but those dates were not available but he could give me the casino rate. Gezzz, no thank you. I do have a suite offer in my account for March and was able to open that. It came with a code and $20 free play on select dates. I guess it would be the same deal. I got a nice room in the new tower at Ballys. I guess I will have to be happy with that.

I have a bunch of offers at MGM properties but I am upset about the parking/valet fee and have decided that I am not going to stay there anymore. Maybe I will play a little more at the Cosmo when I go as I like it there. We like to drive around when we are there and I could live with the $10 parking if it was per day. I wonder if you have to pay the fee every time you park? If so we wont be playing there anymore. What do you guys think about the parking fee?

Sorry you got the run around, perhaps someone new since even when I call up about my Mom's offers and she is very much the low roller, they tell me outright what the offer says. Unfortunately they only have X amount of comp rooms per offer and they tend to book up fast at V/P. Sometimes they become available at the last moment too due to cancellations but if one already has a nice comp room elsewhere then I don't suppose it's worth checking back.

A lot of people don't rent or drive their cars to Vegas so won't care about the parking fee that M-Life properties is going to start. As far as I have read so far it's not clear if it's $10 a day and you can switch from property to property or if it's $10 a day at each property which really would be a pain. While Cosmo has said they aren't going the way of the Parking fee I think we'll see them change that policy once the new Arena opens in April and they see people going to those concerts trying to park at Cosmo for free and filling up all Cosmo's parking spaces instead of paying for parking at the Arena which I suspect is one reason MGM decided to charge for parking at their properties. There's been a lot of speculation that CET Properties will follow and also charge for parking in the future too.

We stayed at Bally's last week and really liked it. Couldn't get into Palazzo as it was sold out one of our nights.

FYI -we told them we wanted to upgrade to a Jubilee Celebrity Suite. They said it's $300 nt, I offered them $100 nt and we settled on $125. The day before we checked out I went into the Diamond Lounge and asked if they could remove the resort fees for our 4 nts. We ain't Diamond, we ain't Platinum, we ain't shit. The host on duty looked up our play, chatted for a moment, then removed our resort fees and one nights charge. Saved us almost $300 and we only got about 1600 tier credits. I thought that was damn nice of them especially since I was up at CET (thanks WWII).

What an awesome score on the Suite! I have a Jubilee King strip view booked and will be happy with that. We don't spend much time in the room anyway. I really like playing at the Palazzo and that is the main reason that I wanted to stay there, so we could lay late nite when it is less crowded. I also wanted to check out their pool. Maybe next time, LOL

Thank you. I will have to jump on it faster next time and see what happens. I just feel odd calling and that was not a very good experience for me. The agent that I spoke too was not very nice and not very forthcoming with his answers. They may have had rooms at the Venitian but I guess I will never know since I had asked for Palazzo. We have been staying at the MGM but get a car and go in and out quite often. The parking thing really bugs me. Guests should not have to pay and parking fees could really stack up going in and out. I am not sure how they are going to structure the parking fees. I will have to wait and see. I am sure that others will follow suit just like they did with the resort fees which I also detest.

We seem to be staying off strip more and that is fine with me. I like the off strip places more. They are more laid back and I feel safer there. The strip is getting a little crazy. The last trip we walked through the cromwell and played a few machines and I really felt scared there. A guy jumped in front of us ine line at the cashier and we were afraid to say anything so we just let it happen. The cashier saw it and gave us the "look" but didn't say anything either. I feel that someone could just pull a gun on you for saying the wrong thing. The place was crawling with security but I still couldn't wait to leave there. Things are really getting strange on the strip, for me anyway.

So we are staying 2 nights at Ballys, one night at Golden Nugget Laughlin and 5 nights at the Orleans. I was gonna book the 2 nights at Palazzo and that would have been 4 moves so I am probably better off not staying there this trip. Maybe next time.

I was playing at Palazzo at 5am a few years ago and the cocktail waitress came up to me and said 'you're the only person playing in this casino'. I stood up, looked around and bygod she was right.

Very sorry that employee acted like that with you on the phone.

I can understand why the new parking policy at MGM properties upsets those guests who drive.

It's true that the strip doesn't feel as safe as it did in years past, but I think some of it boils down to just more people going to Vegas once again and hopefully all the strip properties will increase their security to help offset the increased crowds.

I think you will be happier with less moves too and it sounds like you have a good trip planned. Have fun and I hope you win lots!

So today I got a printed offer in the mail with a code. It was for 3 comped nights and $20 in free play. So I called again. The lady I got on the phone this time was very pleasant. I told her that I only wanted 2 nights and she said that was fine with the offer I had. BUT, Tuesday was not available. Wednesday and Thursday was. I need to get Tues and Wed because the way my other reservations are. She did tell me that they sometimes become available later if I wanted to try in a month or so. Gezzz, There must be big happenings at the Palazzo on Tuesday May 24th! I will be sure to avoid it, LOL Will let you know if there are any updates. :-)

Wow, so nice Trey. I've been diamond for 3 years and close to diamond last year and they never budge for me. I don't even ask anymore, but I guess now I will.

Seems like they end up with quite a number of conventions that start on Monday, must be one of those weeks.

With all the hotels on the strip I will just move to the others that will still comp us no matter what conventions are in town. If Bellagio, Cosmo and Aria can comp us the same week that these so called big conventions are in town why cant V/P? Oh well I am done with them. Good thing I didn't invest a ton. Good luck!
