            Had a look at the Vdara and it's very nice looking, put in some dates and midweek rates are okay but the weekend it shoots up to $549, wowzers! Any way to avoid resort fees also?

            I've stayed in Ballys when I went in 2009 and stayed in the Aria one year while working for PokerNews which was a class hotel.

              Thinking of finally hiring a cleaner for the first time. Looking around town at the number of places looking for staff, I'd imagine it's like Lazares comment about tradespeople. That pretty much anyone worth getting is probably fully booked up long-term?

                No matter where you go, my top vegas tip is tell them you need a fridge for 'medication'.
                Free mini fridge to store your booze and bits in
                People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

                  Got the ULTIMATE hookup there from one of my colleagues. The room I had priced up was $2,700 and they used their status to get the same room for $326!!! Absolutely shocked and floored, savage

                    I see you're already sorted so this doesn't apply to you now but when we were going, we priced up the whole trip ourselves and got a quote from Cassidys travel agents and it came in at about 700 quid less. For the flights and hotel we were looking at over 2.5k paying ourselves, through cassidys we got it for 950 per person so 1900quid. Same dates, same flights, same hotel.

                    People have told us before to never use a travel agent but made sense that time anyway. We had the same issue trying to book the hotel ourselves, it was very expensive that we couldn't believe how much the agent was offering it for.

                    But anyway, glad to see you sorted. Enjoy the trip.

                                My lad got through in 10 minutes at 7:30 am this morning, I was just dropping off but I haven't seen the traffic so quiet at that time of day before.

                                  Mate of mine arrived at the airport last Friday at 7am for a 9am flight and was through security in 25mins. The rush seems to have dissipated somewhat.

                                    Maybe TikTok is lying to me, but I wouldn't arrive any later than 5am

                                      The issue is that 7am is peek flight time, if I picked it up correctly. As all the business flights leave around then. 9am on the other hand is 'early holiday flight', so probably never that busy.

                                          So (a) this 100% is a war of imperial conquest (feels strange to be typing that in the 21st century), not that anyone would have doubted this and (b), 'Goodbye Moldova, you're next' is the rather unsubtle message.
                                          Judging by the false flag bullshit going down in Transnistria, the Moldovans may well expect this to happen sooner rather than later.

                                          You would think these RuSSian Nazis would have learned about the problems of opening multiple fronts from their forebears..

                                            Depends on the day but that's the busiest time. V worst case scenario at the moment you'll be 45 mins or so getting through security

Which means, unless we get him to Ireland, he is going to be drafted into the army in the next month or so (uni students and graduates are exempt from the army draft). Hell of a consequence for failing a chemistry exam.

                                                              The news definitely points to them doing 'something' imminently in Moldova.

                                                              They haven't exactly demonstrated strategic thinking and execution to this point, so why start now I guess.

This goes all the way back to 1990. Supposedly it's a favourite retirement venue for RuSSian army top brass. And a cesspool.of corruption, much like the motherland.

Something that was suggested would happen a few weeks back when the timing was right (essentially Russian control of the south coridoor from east to west Ukraine).

No food available on the plane as 'they did not get any stock in Dublin that morning'. Que a heap of whales from da Northside swearing they were back in the famine and immediately scrambled for anything available.
