Checked in last tuesday and was not asked for the players club(I didn't try the $20 trick) We got the coupons with the key card:$10 free slot play, 2 free tickets for show @V theater and buy 1 get 1 buffet free @spice market. Totally worth it!

Stayed from 11/23-11/27, great time! Did not try $20 trick, but I saw a few $20s near the check-in desk, so I'm sure they accept it (as has been confirmed by others).

In addition to the coupons others are mentioning, you get a coupon for the Desert Passage savings booklet upon checking in. Inside there is a coupon for $5 slot play!

Did anyone else get charged for the bottled water? They tried charging me twice when I stayed there, and then once after I checked out! Never even touched the thing. They reversed all the charges after I spoke with them, but just curious if anyone else had the same problem.

Can you tell me if the 2 free show tickets that they give you are good for any of the shows held there? I want to see the Fab 4 show! I could care less about any of the other shows there, but that is a nice bonus if tickets to see the Fab4 are included with this promotion?

What other worthwhile coupons do they give you upon check-in? I would think the first week in January should be fairly slow after New Year's, so I'm hoping to get a nice room upgrade with the $20 trick!

I'm not sure if the coupons change, but I got the following:

2 Free afternoon show tickets (I don't remember for which shows - didn't use them)
Buy 1 Get 1 Free Lunch or Breakfast Buffet (Spice Market Buffet)
$10 Free Slot Play OR $10 Table Match Play
Discount book to the Desert Passage (the shops/mall at Aladdin) - The book has the $5 slot play in there also, like I mentioned in my earlier post.

I think those were it. If any of them are wrong, someone correct me.

Should be slow Jan 2 - 6th. CES starts on Jan 8th, so you'll have a tough time getting an upgrade if you're there Jan 7 - 12th.

I'm curious as to why you want/need to get the first night free? Normally you check into a hotel, they guarentee it with your credit card, and you pay whatever the total is when you check out. Sometimes they will ask for a deposit, or they will preauthorize a certain amount on the credit card. It's not like you walk up to the front desk with $49 in your hand every day.

I stayed last weekend (12/7-11) at the Aladdin with the special rate. Got my Club card right before checking in. They didn't really ask for it, but I did give it to them anyway (they did mark the club number on my reservation). The club card also allows you a free slot pull each day and you get a $10 free slot play with the check-in coupons.

I did the $20 trick -- they put me in a resort room in the south tower with a nice view of the fountains. I've stayed there several times now, and you should ask for the North tower for the best views (I didn't realize my room was in the south tower until I headed for the elevator).

I got the 2 free tickets to the V Theatre and used them to see the Fab Four show -- it was fair, but I wouldn't have wanted to pay for it. They will offer ticket "upgrades" for $10 each -- I didn't go for it -- from what I saw there wasn't a big difference, you could see the show equally well from almost anywhere in the theatre.

The changeover to Planet Hollywood is going well. I'd expect the main floor to be finished soon. Nothing too bothersome.

Enjoy your stay there!

Looks like the CNEW 4 deal at the Aladdin is dead. Does anyone know if there is a new Promo Code? Link indicates dates as "Sold Out" for Jan. 2nd through Jan. 5th.

Yes you can. I live in the UK and I have one.

The CNEW7 (not CNEW4) offer is apparently not dead but no longer bookable online because of the number of non-card holders booking. You can still book it on the dog and bone but will need your players card no.

I just went to the Aladdin Desert passages and got a coupon book using my auto club card. There is a fantastic buy 1 got 1 free 16 ou drink for coffee bean and tea leaf - works on all but regular coffee. Also, Tacone (a fast food wrap healthy and delecious at least in LA) buy one wrap or salad get one free.
