Mastercard deal at Orleans

Read about the mastercard deal at the Orleans. Called and was able to change my existing reservation over to promo price.



Mastercard deal at Orleans


When are you going? I called and they said that it would end in April.



Mastercard deal at Orleans


We are going in April.




What is the deal? I%26#39;m interested in the price difference. I%26#39;ll be there this Saturday-Tuesday.




Only good Sunday - Thursday.




The MC price is 1/2 off the usual price so it may still do you good to change Sun, Mon, Tue to that price.




Its not just the Orleans, its all the Coast Casinos, including the Orleans, ,Gold Coast, Barabry Coast, SunCoast etc. I believe the promo code to get the deal online is: MCP0604




This is a really silly question......Do you have to pay with a Mastercard to get the rate?




http://www.coastcasinos.com/mc/ Is the website for the special deal. Someone posted they were able to get the same deal even when paying with a VISA card. Most of April is still available at the Orleans and Suncoast.

least expensive time of year to visit Vegas?

Had a great trip to Vegas in February, can%26#39;t wait to return. Have a very flexible schedule -- any advice on when is the least expensive time of year to visit Vegas? Thanks for any advice.

least expensive time of year to visit Vegas?

Easy question. Go when nobody wants to go like July, August, some weekdays. the week before and after Xmas, and around T-day.

Or you can to about any hotel web site and look at the rate calendars to see when the slow times are. A good one to use is Monte Carlo b/c you can look upto 6-months out. When rooms are $69, it is slow.

least expensive time of year to visit Vegas?

Usually the 2 weeks before Christmas are slow and cheap.


Summertime, baby! And after a February visit, you owe it to yourself to enjoy Vegas at its hottest, and its cheapest!


Hi Boattime,

I always get my best deals in August and September. I went this year the week after Xmas and I have to say it was extremely crowded,

  • LV Hilton?

    The room rates on the LV Hilton have been going down steadily over the past week. They are now lower than the Monte Carlo for the last week in April! There does not seem to be many recent reviews on this hotel. The last time I was on this property was 20 years ago. Is it still a nice hotel or does it not compare to the hotels on the strip? Also noticed is rated #50 on tripadvisor hotel rating.



    LV Hilton?


    My dad stays there quite a bit %26amp; his rooms have always been very nice. They%26#39;re comped so I don%26#39;t know if that means he gets nicer ones or not, but he%26#39;s never had anything bad to say about his stays.

    Can anyone give me other suggestions on what fun and...

    We are going to Vegas 4/24-4/29 and will be staying at the New York New York Hotel. We booked tickets for the Blue Man Group, Mystere and the Strip helicopter ride. Can anyone suggest other things to do in Vegas. Also what are great buffets in Vegas preferably in the Strip that offers seafood and non-seafood.

    craps lessons downtown?

    I have read and heard alot about playing craps; however



    I have also been told it is really a fast game and that I



    would be lost. Does anywhere downtown offer lessons



    maybe early in the morning?



    thanks in advance.



    craps lessons downtown?


    Ask the Craps table boss do they have lesson, usually most do have in the morning time. They wouldn%26#39;t mine showing you how to play so they can take your money. How I learn was standing by the table for 10 - 15 min. It%26#39;s very easy to pick up the basic part of the game. But all that betting in the middle table is a bit still confussing to me.



    craps lessons downtown?


    a couple suggestions. first, play on the internet so you get the basic concepts down. you can play for free on some sites. next, if you can, stand next to someone you know on a slow table who can show you what he%26#39;s doing. the dealers are always willing to tell you what to do, especially if the table is slow. and, i guess lessons at a casino wouldn%26#39;t be a bad idea. lastly, there are only a few bets that you want to make - those are the bets with a minimum advantage to the casino. any book will tell you what they are. there are a ton of bets that you should never make, like all of the bets in the center of the table. so, you don%26#39;t need to learn what they are. in a nutshell, you only want to make pass line bets and come bets. with full odds on them. sounds more confusing than it is but it does take a little while to get used to it. it%26#39;s worth it though, by far the most exciting game in the casino. nothing comes close.




    Golden Nugget has lessons Wed and Fri 11:15 a.m. they are 45 minutes long. Stardust has them M-F 10a-6p. Just in case you think it might take you longer than 45 minutes to learn the game. And I bet it will.




    hey parkertam,



    you can play craps for free here.

    Parkertam,



    Learn the bets online. Then go to a lesson or a empty/slow table to learn in the morning. Craps isn%26#39;t really difficult to learn if you actually know the bet odds before you go. Keep in mind that craps has some of the best (pass w/odds and come w/odds) and worst (Big 6 and Big 8) bets in the casino.

  • best place in june heat

    i d like to know wich hotel have it all in the summer heat,i know ny ny is cool but no pool,flamingo has a great pool but nothin special about the rest of it,so wich ones have everything



    best place in june heat


    Huh, NYNY has a pool as most hotels do.. IMO there is no perfect Hotel, if there were it would be called Pleasantville:-)





    Just pick a hotel that suites your budget, attracts a crowd that favors you, and has the facilities you need. Places with the best pools will have lots of children, perfect, right? I think it is impossible to find a perfect Hotel, that is why you visit of casinos while staying at another.



    best place in june heat


    Try Mirage !



    It is still on my to-do list, but the reviews I%26#39;ve read are very favorable with everything included very highly rated especially their pool !




    Mirage is hard to beat if the real high-end hotels are too expensive. Upscale scene without being a budget-buster.





    As for pools, I%26#39;d rather spend time at an ';average'; pool with a great crowd (i.e. active adults young and old) than a ';Disneyworld'; pool swamped with children. To each his/her own!




    check out cheapovegas.com. great reviews of everything at each hotel, including pools. i know what you mean - the pool is a big deal especially in june. i sit out there for 3-4 hours a day getting tan and trying to be discreet about looking at the ladies. anyhow, mirage is a real good call. good pool, good hotel. it%26#39;s hard not to like staying there.




    sqlight,



    You%26#39;re looking at this wrong. The pool is one of the only amenities you can%26#39;t buy your way into. If you want to use the Venetian spa, buy a service and you%26#39;re in. If you want to use the Flamingo pool, you have to be a guest. Your resort choice doesn%26#39;t have to have it all, it just needs to meet your budget and offer the amenities that you desire that are included in the room rate.

    Q for VM re Stardust

    VegasMan, I heard that the StarDust had an affiliation with the Par*A*Dice Casino in Peoria, IL. Is that true?

    Q for VM re Stardust

    Why do people ask such silly questions when all they have to do is google the two casinos and can see Boyd Gaming owns both of them.

    Q for VM re Stardust

    Oops sorry. Didn%26#39;t mean to bog down the forum with %26#39;stupid%26#39; questions.


    tut, don%26#39;t worry about it. 90% of all questions here could be answered with a google search, a search of the website of the hotel in question, or an e-mail to %26#39;concierge@(fill in the hotel name)%26#39;.

    But what fun would that be?


    What ever happened to polite conversation....


    Thanks Drake.

    Maybe I should have elaborated on my original post. I live within 45 minutes of the Par*A*Dice Casino and had never heard of any affiliations with other casinos. I heard thru the grapevine that Par*A*Dice was affiliated with StarDust. Peoria Airport has Allegiant Air that flys straight to Las Vegas. Between the airline and Peoria casino, I would have thought they would have included the StarDust affiliation in their marketing plan somehow.


    I%26#39;m taking a trip to Peoria for a week in May. Is it worth it to visit this Par*A*Dice casino?


    There really isn%26#39;t much in Peoria to see, IMO. Par*A*Dice was a moving River Boat Casino that is now docked. It%26#39;s smokey and small. But if you like to gamble, then stop in.


    Both are owned by Boyd Gaming. We get a few guests that are refered by the hosts of the properties in the Midwest. That%26#39;s about all the cross marketing we do.
