Inexpensive wedding Reception ideas in Las Vegas?

May 14th, 2010

Posted by admin in Monte Carlo Las Vegas | 1 Comment »

I am getting married at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas on Aug 14th and there Reception is expensive. I am just looking for a place to cut the cake and to have Champagne or a wine toast. I’m looking for places to throw a little reception. Thank you

BEst way to cut costs is to contact the Elks Club, VFW, American Legion halls.
They will rent out to you and you can buy drinks direct from them or bring you own.
I would use google to see some local ones with phone numbers.
But, you and the group will have to travel from the MC to the place, it can be a pain in the neck.

Transportation from Vegas airport to Treasure Island Hotel?

May 11th, 2010

Which would be the cheapest and easiest way to get a party of 8 from the Las Vegas Airport to the Treasure Island hotel. And also back to the airport.

For a group that size the easiest and most reasonable would probably be to take a taxi. >Because of the size of your group you will need 2. Depending on traffic the fare should be around $12-$15 – DON’T let the cabbie take the tunnel, this will add $10 to your fare(they know better)
http://www.taxi.state.nv.us/faresfees.htm
TA – 1-702-668-4000
this is a good # to write down and take with you, if you feel you have been cheated(long hauled) by the cabbie. Call the TA from the cab before you pay.
$3.20 for the first 1/8 mile, .25c for each 1/8 mile thereafter. There is a $22 per hour "waiting" fee, so if you’re stuck in traffic the meter is still running. There is also a $1.20 fee for leaving McCarran in a taxi.

There are no free shuttles to Treasure Island from McCarran. This is a list of all the free hotel shuttles in LV

For Deuce/CAT info
http://www.rtcsnv.com
Deuce – $2.00 one way, $5 24hr pass
CAT – $1.25 one way, $2.50 24hr hass

Strip Trolley

The Monorail

If you want to go first class.
http://www.lasvegaslimo.com
1-888-696-4400
A limo to your hotel is actually cheaper than the airport shuttle bus(which wait until they fill their bus to leave the AP then drop off at any number of hotels, if you’re last it can be a long ride)

You can rent a limo by the hour, or grab one the same as you would a taxi($4.50 each, to the strip I believe it was for the 4 of us)

We go to LV 2-3 times a year for 2 weeks or more at a time and have for over 20 years. I added all of the public transportation options in LV because at one time or another each has it’s advantages.

Estimated cost – for 8
Taxi – $25-$30
CAT/Deuce – $16
Limo – $36
Limo – 1hr rental of a super stretch $76(10 person)
Shuttle – $44

If you have a Q, feel free to e-mail me through YA.

Later: "boo hoo" would be correct, neither the Monorail nor the Strip Trolley run to "McCarran" airport – I’m pretty sure their web site has that info.>I explained that I was adding ALL of the public transportation options around LV.

Best time to reserve a Las Vegas hotel room?

April 28th, 2010

Posted by admin in Monte Carlo Las Vegas | 8 Comments »

I’m looking to reserve a quick one-night stay at a hotel on the Las Vegas strip. Nothing too fancy, just something in the Luxor / Monte Carlo, etc. range for under $100/night on a weekday. I’m looking to travel in about two weeks, when are the rates cheapest?

On sites such as Hotwire and Priceline, do the prices usually go down even more as the date approaches or are they about as low as they go right now?

Thanks for your help!
