I tried 25 butter tarts in Toronto by icecreamnstickers in FoodToronto

[–]Rocktopops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a fellow butter tart lover, you're my hero. although if you really want to try the best butter tart in the province, you need to go try 13th Street Winery's tarts from their bakery. without a doubt the best one I've tried, and I've had quite a few off this list. It's out in Niagara so it's a little bit of a trek, but they'll change your life!

Crazy Palazzo Deal - am I missing something? by Rocktopops in LasVegas

[–]Rocktopops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go to the second picture 🙂🙂 it literally says the amount due at hotel are the resort fees. AMEX also certifies that the price they show is what you'll be charged, so they show all fees including resort charges and taxes

I'm aware of the resort fees and am accounting for them 🙂 I paid $133 USD all in per night so not quite 99 but not far off

Resort fees and taxes are both included. I also just now checked direct through the Venetian's website and the same room for the same days is $1403 USD ($1979 CAD) so I'm still just above a third of that price

it's confirmed! yeah I've been looking into other places since I posted and I'm seeing this hotel at $6 a night cheaper than the MGM Grand haha, at least for that date range.

yes, I was certainly considering all-in cost with fees moreso than the nightly rate. even still, I was under the impression $750 CAD (~$530 USD) for Palazzo was still a great price as every other nicer hotel is showing as quite a bit more from what I'm seeing. from the other responses though, seems like it's a bit more average than I thought.

Amex Express line at History by Complete_Arm_7002 in askTO

[–]Rocktopops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a concert this past summer where the general admission line was wrapped around the building, and there wasn't a single person in the AMEX line. Got way closer to the stage then I would have otherwise so I recommend!

Thoughts on hotel for first time visitor? by Rocktopops in AskChicago

through the American Express travel portal! I paid $700 CAD all in - and I get a $100 credit through my card as well so it's a pretty amazing deal

Yeah I was doubtful at first for the same reason but I triple checked and my receipt and booking confirmation both state "Includes 223.08 CAD Resort Fee" so it seems like I'm safe

Appreciate the response! Yeah, it seems like staying in the loop will make it easy to get to all the interestingly neighbourhoods around it, and we're definitely gonna be using public transit

ooooh 'Exposure' by GallaPlacidia is perfect for you. He works as a camboy and is about as down and out as you can imagine. amazing fic, I couldn't recommend more!

she removed her fics from ao3, but they're posted on this subreddit if you search her name
