[QUOTE=Speck]I stayed there because I got a average room rate of $62 a night last January over a 5 day period including weekends.[/QUOTE]Was that publicly available by some means or did you need to have an established 'player rating' of some kind with them?

[QUOTE=Amon]I will be visiting Vegas in a few weeks, and always find time for a massage or two. I have one regular but continue to look for other providers and variations. Does anyone have information on a female named "Midori"? She claims to do the rub in the nude but can't get much other info from her. Also wondering about a black gal named "Rose" and a Japanese/American named "Lilly". Any information would be appreciated and I will let the board know of my experiences.[/QUOTE]
Midori (the Raiders fan) works in the NW area, according to her email to me. Lilly (The thick-azz Jap) can be found by the airport area and/or Southern Highlands but has some strange incall hours; she's mainly outcall and Rose I know nothing about.
Midori does no [i]full[/i] service but I've seen one or two reviews of the "OK" variety. Only thing I've ever heard about Lilly is that she's thicker than one would expect.
I've tried none of them. Midori too far - Lilly too hard with incall hours for me.
EDIT: There might be more than one Midori but the one I mentioned ALWAYS has something about football/Raiders in her ads.
Wastrel, as usual, hit it right on the head. When LE asks, you tell. If you need time for a record search, they'll be back. They'll come in and say something tricky like "Do you have any history on a Wastrel D. Monger?". From there, they expect and I mean that in legal terms, a definitive answer complete with dates, check-in info, number of guests, and anything else available that they may want.
If the guest has a history with security, they can have the guest record flagged for future reference or just a plain old "Go away" red flag.
Using a C/C at check-in but paying cash at check-out is common. Some people trash the room, split and leave the keys in the room; hoping to pull a fast one. They'll find some incidentals charged to their card in the near future. But if you're just an average Joe, you won't have any charges made other than maybe locking up some of your credit line.
You might want to consider using "2 guests" if you plan on having a friend overnite. They can, technically, have your overnite guest leave for not being a "registered guest" which just amounts to them being accounted for in a head count kind of way - not a "who is she" kind of way. But that's my "inside" opinion and view from a pre-2003 world. A POV from a monger's current position I can't say.

The rate was via expedia. My total cost for 4 nights plus tax plus expedias fee was under 300.
As you probably know, hotel rates fluctuate like nuts. Every day, prices can change. For instance for Jan 17th-20th expedia had a average rate of $111 for MGM for a few days, then down to $104. Then, about the 10th, the rate jumped up to $180 and did not change.
When I visit, the less I spend on a room, the more I get to spend on gambling.
So I always search expedia, travelocity, vegas.com, i4vegas, bookvegas, hoteldiscounts, travelaxe, and each hotels web site. If I find a knockout rate, I book. If I can't get something mid strip under $100 a night, I stay downtown. The better rates I've stumbled across were $18 a night at Orleans, $72 a night over a five day period including weekends at Luxor, $19 a night at Stratosphere, $39 weeknight at Harrahs, and $34 on a Sunday at NYNY.

Can I get WG in my room at Harrahs?
Hey guys,
Coming to Vegas for the first time for my bro's bacheloer party in April. Are any of the girls on CL recommended? Or should we just fish from the casino bowl? Oh yeah either staying at T.I. or Harrahs.
Also, you might consider travelaxe.com, which looks across several hotel/travel sites and finds the best deal for each casino/hotel, and tripreservations.com, which I have used on most trips to LV...TripReservations has a bit of a steep cancellation rate, though, at $50.

[QUOTE=Wastrel]I spend over 100 nights a year in hotel rooms all over the place, and I'm often surprised at what ends up being done with the folio (the guest bill) and my card, even at places I've stayed before.[/QUOTE]
It's always wise when using a Credit Card to assume some charges may end up on the card after all the employees could care less about what you may or may not want and can be very careless, not to mention some Hotels "lock Up" your line for a certain amount till you check to be sure they get paid.
Some Hotels will register you as NRG, Or Not Registered Guest, if anyone calls for you there you never show up not sure if they reserve that for the Players or everyone but if discretion is required it's worth a try.
[QUOTE=dusty122]Cenega32,

You can get a "companion" into your room at any hotel in Vegas.
The only time security will ever care is if the girl is know to rip off guys. Then they may recognize her and warn you. If that is the case, you should be very happy for their help.
If you are staying at Harrahs, put your arm around the girl or hold her hand, flash your key, and take your wife for the night to your room.
Thanks for the information all you experienced LV mongers.
It looks like Circus Circus might be a good base and if they charge my credit card, it doesn't look as sleazy as Oasis Motel

The Stardust has a midweek room special at $49 through March 3rd (enter the word "WINTER" as a rate code online) and I'm a little tempted to take them up on it to spend a night there thrashing around on a bed with someone or other just once before they turn it into a hole in the ground and send the sign to the museum, but I looked at the traveller's comments on tripadvisor.com and the most recent reviewer mentions that they have security at the elevators actually having people scan their key cards before going upstairs. I'm not sure I believe that, since I've never seen that done anywhere in town, ever. Asking to SEE a key card as you walk by, yes, at some places, and that's never been a problem with a companion on my arm, just as described by Speck below, but to actually scan it for anyone getting on the elevator? That'd be very unusual, to put it mildly, and I'm thinking that reviewer mispoke or was confused somehow. Does anyone here have any personal experience as a guest at this hotel? I'd be a little disappointed to go to the trouble to take a room only to discover that I can only use it for sleeping and pilfering a souvenier ashtray.

Agreed. I've never seen that practice before even at the really high-end places. I've come across a couple of places that want to see more than just a room card, like documentation that shows you're actually a guest of the hotel right now. That's a pretty comparable level of security to scanning the card. Although my mongering instincts are in conflict here, I actually kind of like the fact that some casino hotels are trying to go the extra step and provide greater assurance of their guests' security by doing something like scanning the card or requiring other proof of current guest status. I always thought the room key waving exercise was pretty weak. Overall (and granted I guess we still don't know if the Stardust anecdote is even correct) I'll give the heightened security check a mild thumbs up. Of course if the trend gains popularity, maybe it'll soon be time to ditch my extensive collection of room keys saved for just these kinds of situations where I'm bringing a CG/SW up to the room.
Speaking of an uptick in security level, I visited LV Harrahs last week and was surprised to see a security officer at the entrance of the Self Park requiring every visitor to produce a room key, players card, or other proof of guest status before they'd let them enter the garage. Didn't appear to be just a formality either. The security guys really seemed to be taking it seriously. Wonder if some event triggered this move.
