Probably, I would expect some compensation in return. I don't really
enjoy bitching and moaning in Vegas, so I would probably go with the
flow for the most part.

Much of it would depend upon whether Mrs. Andrew was with me. I am
much more easy-going than she is.

Thanks, BOB. I recall the Aladdin deal being posted originally by
someone else (westie?), then I picked it up and ran with it (or ran it
into the ground, some might say). Ditto for Fab Four; I first saw the
show on someone else's recommendation.

I've booked Vegas Club for my next trip as well. I recommend taking
along a print-out of your confirmation showing the daily rate. I
always do that anyway just so there's no question about the booked rate
or room type.

I got that Orleans card, too. On my last stay I just went along with
the $5 resort fee since I had a really good room rate anyway. I've
booked there for my next trip using an email offer for one of their
slot tournaments, 3 nights for $99, tax included. They neglected to
note the $5 fee in the email offer, nor did they mention it when I
called to reserve a room, so I'll be cheerfully waving a copy of that
email offer in the face of the desk clerk if he/she tries to impose the
$5 fee this time.

I would find it disappointing.

Hey Walt, we're staying at the same places. I just may be able to cut
and paste a really great trip report. I want to include a lot of
pictures, so don't let me down.

They seem to be directing former Stardust folks to the Orleans and to a
lesser extent, the Gold Coast. I've never placed a bet or dropped a
Quarter in the Orleans but I get frequent offers from it.

No problem, I'll upload a duplicate set of photos for your use.
