View Full Version : New Year's Eve FREE - I can't believe it!

Yesterday, I noticed an online offer for 3 free nights at Ballys or Rio 12/29 thru 1/2/09. Of course I booked immediately.

I actually had 2 offers. The one I just mentioned, and one for Imperial Palace (3 free nights) + a NYE party! I called for the IP one (who doesn't want a free New Year's Eve party, right?), but the party was 'sold out'. I was asked if I wanted to book it anyway and be put on a waiting list for the party, but I just opted to go for the Ballys offer instead (which is where I'd rather stay, anyway).

I booked Ballys instead of Rio (although the Voodoo Lounge should be a blast that night!!), largely because of the Strip being blocked off that evening due to the fireworks (at least I hope there are fireworks). Since transportation is a hassle that night I figured Ballys was the best bet.

I then went to book airfare. I braced myself for the worst, and it was pretty bad, averaging about $420 RT (from Chicago). But considering we have a flexible schedule and a Southwest credit from a past flight, I got away with paying just $270.

I'm doing the happy dance right now. So check your online offers guys, just in case! :D

Have a good time, Stuff, and don't forget the TR!!!!!!!!Thanks, sonntex. To be honest, I'm not one for TRs. Mine would be pretty boring (eat, drink, play penny slots, repeat.) But we'll see if this trip has anything worth reporting.
I was so excited to get the offer, I just had to share :)
