What hotel is "the Bell?"
A few years ago, I decided to go out to LV on vacation, but didn't want to take too much money with me. So, I set up a line of credit with Ballys. Now, understand, I'm not much of a gambler, and I CAN walk away, either as a winner, or a loser. So, I go, have some fun, and lose a bit of money.
Last summer, out of the blue, I got a letter from Paris (the hotel, not the slut), pretty much saying, "where have you been?" I got a coupon for 3 nights at no charge, as well as a $50 food coupon! When I checked out, IIRC, the total on my AMEX card was about $28!
So, if you're able to control yourself, a helpful hint might be to open a line of credit at a hotel. You might just get something nice like this. Of course, I'll probably never get another offer like this from them, as I think I gambled for a total of about 3 hours while I was there... But I do LOVE LV.
BTW, where do you find out about those deals?
Thanks!

Bell = Bellagio. Though we usually stay at the 'V'enetain, we hang out a lot at the 'Bell'agio and have developed our own shorthand.
Bally's belongs to the Paris folks, I think it's Park Place Entertainment. They are pretty generous with their comps I understand. The rooms at Paris are small (350 sq ft - DH hates small hotel rooms and they don't have FOX news). My neighbor gets offers from them, according to him they only require one hour of play for each day that you stay.
A line of credit might be a good idea, but I usually just play slots and DH doesn't play at all. I do get offers for the V, more recently because of Wynn Las Vegas I think.
I just went to their websites and signed up, so when the emails come I try to plan the two trips we make a year around the good offers. We go because there is no where else we can get so much for so little money.
