The Wynn
I just booked 3 nights there through Hotwire when I am in Vegas next month. 3 nights at Treasure Island are on the company, as it is a business trip, but the weekend before I was exploring many options. When the rate got low enough on Hotwire that I couldn't resist, I booked it. Wynn, here I come!!

Re: The Wynn
Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nice.......
Vegas keeps writing and begging me to visit. Free rooms here, cheap room with free food and slot tournament here, cheap room with slot credits there.
All I need is someone to watch these kids, and I'm out the door. But Spring is when a bunch of drug studies crank up, and our calendar is filling fast...

Re: The Wynn
It's been about a year and a half since I've been there...and the rooms weren't cheap the weekend I'm going, but I already booked my flights so I had to make the best of it. I chose to do that by going to a fancy place!! But Hotwire rocks like that, and there are so few 5* hotels on hotwire that I knew it was one of two choices, not a huge gamble.minimetoo26 wrote:Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nice.......

I go in August because then even the airfare is cheap! I mean, only a fool would go to Phoenix or Vegas in the summer, and that fool is me.sunflower wrote:It's been about a year and a half since I've been there...and the rooms weren't cheap the weekend I'm going, but I already booked my flights so I had to make the best of it.

January was mid-50's, so walking aroung was nice. I once went the first weekend in April for a wedding, and it was also mid 50's, and raining.
I just wish they'd work on the smoking deal like Atlantic City did.

Besides, we're looking forward to corrupting YOU in Vegas sometime, and we can't have you violating your probation for Child Endangerment by leaving the city. So maybe no Child Endangerment in the first place is a good idea...

Re: The Wynn
Clem can just drop off Mini-me at The Clintonville in Whitestone with a plate of spaghetti. That could hold him for an entire weekend if the Mets aren't in town. If they are, just leave him at the ballpark. He could park Rain Man in front of a subway map, and he'd have all the routes memorized and possibly have a job driving by the end of the weekend. Stephen is fairly self-sufficient and can help with Erin. But those two could run up a credit-card bill like nobody's business. So maybe I'll just wait until dad's around to keep tabs on the crew....MarleysGh0st wrote:OK, MKTBNL is set with the ice skaping.MinisKidToBeNamedLater wrote:Oh boy!

I haven't decided yet. It sounds like I might need more time there, and it also sounds like it's a sketchy time from a weather perspective. I might just play it by ear and see what happens, see how the weather is, and decide. Worst case scenario I end up paying for 2 hotel rooms if I go out to GC and stay there. I just don't want to plan it all then have it not work out.
