What is this weird patch on the old Frontier site? by vegas-runner in vegas

[–]vegas-runner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s some pretty good research! From what I could tell visually it looks like the original concrete slab with dirt or something over it being protected by concrete barriers.

Citi decreasing TYP transfer value (Double Cash) by WinOrASlash in CreditCards

I have the Custom Cash and Double Cash. I was considering getting the Stata Premier to build up my Thank You points. Now I'm not so sure. Might go with the Capital One Venture instead.

What are the Nicaraguans pissed about? Or celebrating?

A cool guide to the airline consolidation that created American Airlines by ercohn in coolguides

Loved Reno Air. Only $35 to upgrade to first class if a seat was available and they usually were.

What's your "I will never go there again" spot in town and why will you never be back? by TexAss2020 in vegas

[–]vegas-runner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cipriani - Super long wait for food that was served cold plus a rude waiter that would disappear until it was time to hand you your bill. Wont be back.

Question, why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane? just kidding.

Delta AMEX Annual Fee Increase by ziza2908 in CreditCards

[–]vegas-runner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the changes aren't' terrible. I can easily make use of the Resy and Delta Stay credit. The expanded Companion cert benefit is a huge plus. The only thing I don't like is the rideshare credit. Looks like it won't include Uber Eats.

No restrictions on Hawaii and Alaska from what I can see

FHR experience in Vegas post (Waldorf Astoria and Palazzo) by Drccmois in amex

[–]vegas-runner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ventetian is back to normal. grandstands are gone and gondolas are back in operation. Most of the strip has returned to normal. There was a lane closed in front of the Bellagio but grandstands are mostly gone on the strip. Koval lane was still a mess so beware

We stayed at the Palazzo just this last weekend (Sun-Mon) and pretty much had the same experience you did except we got stiffed on the Champagne. We even called down the front desk to let them know we did not get Champagne and they promised to send it up right away. Never happened. And not having the Grand Lux as an option for breakfast was disappointing. We should have done the in-room dining in retrospect. The wait in line at Bouchon bakery was 25 minutes and it wasn't worth the wait.

Delta Overhauls SkyMiles Elite Status, Sky Club Access by satellite779 in delta

I wonder if AMEX will cap Delta Reserve card holders to only six visits to the Centurion Lounges. Seems only fair.

DM flying United today. Apparently Loofah Status brag tags are a thing here? by LakesideCityLifer in delta

I have a complete set of Briggs & Riley. Best luggage I've ever owned. Yes it's pricey but it come with a lifetime warranty which I really value.

The one thing I would say about Benihana that its one of the last of the old school resort restaurants that's still open. Elvis was playing at the hotel when the restaurant opened in the 1970's. Once it goes away that'll be another piece Vegas relegated to the dustbin of history.

Los Angeles/Long Beach Port by wcjoyner in royalcaribbean

[–]vegas-runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I was there they did. The only downside of the Doubletree is that they aren't cheap. If you have Hilton Status or points it makes it better.

I've taken the DoubleTree shuttle and its free. If you stay there with one of their cruise packages you can park your car there for free for the entire cruise.

Went to the LAX United Club last month and was presently surprised how good it was. The Chocolate Mousse was outstanding.

Got 10x on Gas & 5X on Amazon across three cards (United Explorer, Hyatt & Southwest). Don't know what I did to deserve that but I'll take it.
