1.Resort fees: He never address my claim that the Quad fee of $15 is higher the hotel rate itself during off peak dates. I also go on to name Las Vegas resorts that still offer value. This resort fee did not exist a few years ago and is a major new cost factor if your trying to stay on the Strip.
2.Chilcoot tells me I'm wrong on air fare but fails to back up his claim with any empirical evidence. He goes on to name Allegiant which has no Vegas service near me. The furthest East Allegiant Air serves is South Bend IN, Grand Rapids, MI or Peoria, IL. Again way too far to go to catch a plane. Spirit Airlines comes a little closer with Detroit MI and Latrobe/Pittsburgh but most people think a 4 hour drive each way is too far. Southwest is in the area and at times can be reasonable but no where near my point of $120 round trip.
3.Chilcoot claims I can't compare Florida cruise ships to Las Vegas and then goes on about a ski resort. Last time I checked cruise ships have casinos, rooms, and gourmet meals. But since Chilcoot says they are not comparable then he must be right. This is an excellent example of a closed mind that just wants to argue and not debate.
4. My thread is about comparing Florida to Las Vegas. I don't recall Boston, New York, Chicago, or Seattle being in Florida. Las Vegas taxes on rental cars are high when considering percentage of rental price. When your position is weak just change the subject.
5. OK
6.My point is for new sign ups which I have exhausted in Las Vegas. I also bought a slot play coupon $50 for $25 ($23.75 with discount) for my uncomparable Norwegian cruise ship. The ACG has lots of Florida coupons.
My tone reflects Chilcoot's tone. This was meant to be a light hearted discussion and not condescending (might as well compare Las Vegas to a Ski Resort).
Can you guys please take this crap to free for all where it belongs. Let's keep all the poison in one place - you all do a great job there.
