Hotel

Thanks for reviving this thread. I've been meaning to give it a re-read.

I'm coming to Vegas in September. I have a booking at Imperial Palace, 5 nights free, 1 night at $27. I'm coming alone. I don't really care how run down the place is.

When my boss heard where I was staying, he gasped, and said he can get me in the Wynn for free. When he goes to Vegas, four or five times a year, he stays at the Wynn. I've heard stories that he plays $5 Video Poker all day long. So maybe he CAN get me in for free.

But wouldn't it hurt his rating to do that? Mind you I'm a $5 table player who's planning on going all over town...

Also, does the Wynn have a resort fee? I'm only gonna take his offer if it costs me less than what I'm planning on paying at IP.

If it weren't for the new ACE bus going to the Convention Center, I'd prefer IP because it has a monorail stop.

Last time we were there, my wife sat down at a $5 vp machine and, on her first hand, got 4 aces and won $4,000 :-)

No, there is no resort fee at the Wynn, or at least, they've never charged me one. I usually go with free night offers.

I don't know how that would work. Why would the Wynn want to comp a room for you, not knowing who you are and where/how you play? If you can get it, take it though

Wynn has a $20 resort fee now. It was highly publicized. But I'm sure they will waive it for you. Take your boss up on his offer! I don't see any downside to it.

I assume they'd do it because he's a very high roller, and they'd throw me a bone because he asked them to. Gotta keep those high rollers happy....

Well, if they waive the fee, I'll take the room!

Well, if your room is free, you are still only paying $20/night, which is a heck of a lot better that the dumpy IP for $27. Of course, if you are playing a lot of places, you might like the IP location better.

My IP reservation isn't $27 per night. It's $27 for Tuesday. The other nights are free. Total for 6 nights, with tax, $30.24.

If you really don't care at all about what your room is like and want to save money, then I guess that an average total nightly rate of under $5.05 has to be pretty attractive to you. On the other hand, if you can actually get the Wynn for $20/night total, it seems like a deal you shouldn't pass up. Consider it a splurge on a bit of luxury. If a rate of $20 strikes you as too steep a tariff, then maybe you shouldn't be going to Vegas at all. That amount seems likely to just get lost in the financial noise of everything else that is going on, even if you behave like a puritan. More so if you expect to gamble and live a little while you are there.

Check first what the Wynn resort fee covers. If it covers Wi-fi, for example, and you intend to use it, that may save you money or reduce the price diference.
