Have you visited other places too?JRGUINNESS wrote: ↑ Just got back....
Wow, Vegas has changed in the short 2 years I have been gone.
They nickle and dime you for everything now. Everyone now expects a tip for nothing.
Sad to say, but I think I'm done with Vegas.
Thanks to all for the cheap tricks and tips. That crown and ancor deal saved me big!!!

Totally get that! And I work in the hospitality Feild. But there was a restaurant that we went to, where I ordered at the counter, picked up our food from the counter, filled my drink and then someone expected 15% for taking away 2 plates?!?!MP3_SKY wrote: ↑ Have you visited other places too?
My tipping experience in LV is acceptable,
Other trips I went to Miami, to Honolulu, The tour guide, drivers, luggage handler all expect a tip.
It is not a LV thing , is kinda expect for a tourist place.
Their wages are so low and depending the tipping bonus to make a "better" living.

I tipped the uber/lyft driver cash and they looks appreciated (not expected). I don't like to tip on the app, not sure if the company still take a % of it. I got coupon code from the rides, so I'm more than happy to give them another dollar. lolJRGUINNESS wrote: ↑ Totally get that! And I work in the hospitality Feild.

Our Uber driver told us a 10 minute story about how he doesn't get tips and went on and on. Which is a kiss, the tip is built into the ride.
Then the same with out tour bus driver. Which I planned on tipping anyways, but now everyone is pretty much begging and guilting you into it.
Kinda off putting. It's like the Dominican...

I noticed this with some of the Uber drivers too, where they somehow snuck in stories about tipping during the conversation. For them, I don't mind tipping an extra buck or two, since you're saving so much compared to taxi's anyways. Uber says tips are built into the ride, but I know a few Uber drivers, and it really isn't. They already get paid next to nothing in Las Vegas, a little tip won't hurt.JRGUINNESS wrote: ↑ Totally get that! And I work in the hospitality Feild.

I agree Rio is not great, but it's where the world series of poker is so makes it more convenient.

Depending on the front desk person( I was told the younger the person is the better chance the trick works, lol) and also how busy is the hotel during the days you staying.

is that the one in Fremot?MooH wrote: ↑ Golden Nugget : The daily Resort Fee is not mandatory for Air Canada Vacations guests. Guests can choose to opt-in to the Resort Fee services by paying the Resort Fee directly to Hotel upon check-in. If a guest chooses not to pay the Resort Fee, he or she will not have access to the Resort Fee services.
Anybody has any experience with this ?

I know nothing about Vegas so any help on how to get the best deal and where to staywould be appreciated.
we can fly from Victoria,Vancouver or Bellingham. The only to do thing on our list is going to see LOVE by Cirque.
Thx in advance for any help.

I'm looking into heading to Vegas + 1 adult from Sunday Dec 3rd to Fri Dec 8th. I'm primarily going for the Mosconi Cup event (a major annual billiards event USA vs Europe) and it will be held at the Mandalay Hotel. The best hotel deal that I could currently find is at Excalibur for $28 / night (+$34 Resort fees etc). $333 USD for 5 nights. We haven't decided if we should stay until Sunday or leave on Friday. Any advice when and where to look for direct flights to Vegas from Toronto in December? Right now it looks about $600 average round trip. I currently have my flights tracked on Skyscanner.
