I checked my dates (june 7-11) and they are showing available online. To bad I don't have a players card.

CNEW7 is bookable online; I did it myself this morning. Never got a confirmation e-mail, though, but my credit card was charged and a phone call to their reservation line got a copy of my confirmation faxed to me.

As far as availability, I was able to book May 13-17 without any problems at all, but I can't speak to other dates.

some pretty good deals still.

Note: This technically requires the Aladdin Players card, if you call in the make any changes they will ask you for your card #.

The card is very easy to obtain. They really want you to have it anyway so they can keep track of you - data is gold to them. When I went in November, I had no card when making my reservation online, but then went downstairs (towards the front of the casino) before check-in and got the card - no problems at all.

You'll see throughout this thread (and others) that other people have had the same easy experience getting a card before checking-in.

CNEW7 still worked for me today.

I think they are done with the major renovations. By May it should all be done

My sister was in Vegas two weeks ago and she said although the Aladdin looks better (construction-wise) there is noisy all night construction next door to the Aladdin. She stayed at MGM grand this time

Regarding the construction, we stayed there in November and the noise from the construction across the street woke me twice a night, both nights. We were not on the Bellagio side, which probably would have made a difference.

There is a huge construction site directly across the strip, with those automated bulldozer jackhammers 24-7. This is one of my favorite hotels (fantastic soaking tubs, nice beds, nice view) but I really couldn't believe how loud it was through those thick windows.

If you're planning on staying anytime soon, ask for the Bellagio side on the strip.

FWIW, I just checked in on Sunday using the CNEW7 code - I had booked over the phone and was asked for my players club card (the offer was not sent directly to me and they had no problems at booking). When I checked in no mention of the players club card was made.

Also, for those planning on getting a card right before checking in, be aware that they don't open until Noon and I believe they close at 8.

are you sure they close at 8 (i'm assuming pm)? i read elsewhere that they are open pretty much until late, late night... i won't get in until past 9pm and need to get the card before check-in... thanks
