totally agree. thanks dude.

LV taxes and fees are pretty high, so it'll be more like $60 for the weekend. Still good, since it's not much more than the cost of a taxi to and from the airport. Unless you try to reverse free roll him if he longhauls you.

i think there's a fair amount of variance in rental car rates, similar to hotel rates.

also, there's often a weird price jump when you go from 4 days to 5. it's not exclusive to vegas, but i think it contributes to the confusion with rates.

Of course, it generally gets more expensive the closer you get to the pickup date, but less so than hotels ime. As long as you book it at least a week away, you should be able to get pretty low rates.

Just be aware that the low rate companies - Payless, Budget, Thrifty, etc - often have long lines, poor service, and try to upsell you heavily. There is high pressure to add on extra insurance, they may not even present it as an option to decline, and they may add on extras automatically without you knowing, like a $15 roadside assistance fee, that you have to look for and tell them to remove.

Better companies like Enterprise and Alamo have kiosks that are quick, so that you don't have to wait for an agent, and there is little to no upsell. Prices range from marginally higher to much higher, depending on availability and how close you are to pickup date.

Well I don't want to be around someone who thinks he needs to bring a loaded gun into a crowded casino. Leave the gun at home, Zimmerman.

Use priceline or hotwire. Rent-a-car companies charge 4 days daily rental to rent for a week, so bid the equivalent of 4 days rental per week.

They will also gladly longhaul you, in a manner of speaking, if you are sufficiently weak or stupid that you can be bullied into buying high-cost, low-value upsells such as extra gas or insurance. You are probably already fully covered by your credit card issuer or personal auto insurance carrier.

But there is a high likelihood he will be drinking. Firearms are pretty much a necessity there.

I am attempting to rent a car in a few days for 3 weeks. Using Kayak, the cheapest rate I've gotten is $24/day ($18+$6taxes) from Enterprise.

Should I go with this or is there an even better deal like $9/day I've heard about? How do you get $9/day prices? Thanks...

Then you probably shouldn't come to a Nevada casino. It's 100% legal to carry a concealed weapon into a casino unless every entrance has signs prohibiting it, and very few casinos have these signs.

Years ago this came up in a thread here and there was a long and bitter debate about what the casino policies are. So I actually wandered up to the security desk at Caesars, where I'd never seen any signs on any doors, and asked. The guy hmmm'd and hawwwwed and said "we really prefer you not". I say "so that means it is allowed". He says "well, we'd rather you didn't." I repeat "I'm pretty sure what you're telling me is it's allowed." He finally admitted that yes, you can carry concealed, but if anybody ever sees the gun, you will be asked to leave.

Just assume someone in every poker room is packing. A surprising fraction of the local grinders have (and use) CCW's. Most of 'em I know leave the guns in the car, but not all.

Wishing things were different doesn't make them so. That said, the only guns I've ever seen in a casino were being carried by cops or casino security. The folks who take advantage of CCW's know enough to keep this info from the other customers.

it is 100% legal provided you have a ccw permit that nevada recognizes.

1. Bid $9 on Priceline Name Your Own Price.
2. Use AAA.com
3. Use costco.com

Thank you for that response! The law where I live is the same as in the sign has to be posted at every entrance and it has also to have very specific wording/letter size and color. Very few businesses know how specific the sign must be, hence very few have a legal ground to stand on.



And yes when I am carrying you will never know it.

until I NEED you to know it. ;-)

aria vs venetian, which 1/2 2/5 NL games are softer?

Meh

Yes

depends on who the other 8 players at the table are

Group of around 10 coming for a bachelor party late September. I live here but we will all be staying at MGM. Looking for a good round of golf with a shuttle each way. Found Angel Park has a deal for $109 that includes everything but shuttle. Anyone know if its a nice course? Budget is flexible just want a good time. I don't golf so need advice!

I've only played the Par 3 course at Angel Park, but from what I've seen and heard the courses (Angel Park has 2 regular courses) are nice. what does $109 include? if this is green fees only that seems quite high especially for a LV resident.

Did the Callaway par 3 switch to Taylor made ownership/sponsorship?

Anyone in Vegas need a relatively large sum of USD for GBP?

Any of you Pai Gow degens know where they offer the 'insurance' side bet on the strip?

Last place I saw it was at Bill's and it is going to be difficult to get a table there this trip.

Its a little while away but me and the wife are starting to plan a week in vegas next July. Just looking for some hotel reccomendations, we're not looking for any luxury, just a nice room, good location and a decent pool area for chilling during the day. We're thinking maybe $100 per night?? If this isn't possible then just say as I have no idea about prices!

If this isn't the right place to ask then let me know,

Thanks

I'd hold off on making any finalized plans until, say, March. But Caesars is probably the hotel right in your range with a killer pool and great location.
