| - Wow did we luck out here! (2) FREE corner suites.
Since my Dad wanted to go to the Freemont Street Experience (which actually is awesome) our whole family flew in from different states, met at the airport and drove a rental over to here. Parking was free and very easy to use, nice and close in their own garage. And since it was near his birthday we were treating him by acting a little more lavish. Since none of us gamble we never spend much in Vegas anyway so we decided to splurge here and I had reserved two entire corner suites near the top.
When arriving at the check in counter, there was a huge and I do mean HUGE line of people ranging from bewildered and mildly confused, to pretty pissed off. Apparently the credit card machines went down, and they were manually writing down card numbers on paper (that sounds real safe huh, to leave your card number on a piece of paper in a Las Vegas Casino Hotel?"). Well, whatever. After standing in line nearly an hour I was just glad to get our keys.
The rooms were in fact HUGE with a great view out three sides of the building (both suites combined). We had a great time the whole weekend, really enjoyed the Freemont Street Experience. This is the perfect place to stay as when you walk out on the street, you're there at the center.
In checking my credit card bill over the next few months I never saw the charge for our rooms. And in fairness (maybe I am too honest for my own good), I did call there and asked for a copy of my receipt, letting them know that they never charged me. And after waiting on hold for about 20 minutes a lady came back and told me that she had no record of us having ever stayed there.
So there's how I got $700 in free suites in Las Vegas. Who says you have to gamble to get lucky? :)
