So quick question, the five star hotel is it all inclusive food and drink or is that something we have to pay for separately?

@Doubleme


No, it's not all-inclusive, you have to pay for food & drink.

its not that I am grateful or ungrateful its just one has to take into account the expense they would incur and unfortunately I am not in the position to afford eating out at restaurants for every meal for 7 days in vegas. to **** how generous the sky promotion is compared to other promotions I would need to work out probability from information I do not have. EG how many entries there would likely be in the ticket raffle and the expected value I would have in this promotion etc etc.

I cant possibly comment whether this is good or bad value I just do not have several grand to spare at the moment and unless I am going to a 7 11 to buy budget junk non refrigerator food this would be the reality. Unless of course they have an oven stove and refrigerator in the rooms but I did not think to ask that because whilst I have seen that in a hotel before its very very rare.

There's a Denny's virtually next door to the Hotel for decent cheapish Breakfast ....last you most of the day,...... and for Cheapish Dinner too

I promise you, you won't regret spending a few extra $$$$$ for the experience

.....It's FANTASTIC

WINNING the Ticket is the hard part ....... but really worth it if you do

GOOD LUCK David

Many (most?) of us - don't bother with restaurants, there are plenty of cheap eateries, takeaway Burger Bars & Pizza Parlours, Wendy's, Dennys, Smash Burger, Chick-A-Fill etc etc. Personally, I always start with a trip to Walmart, & stock up on bits & pieces - good value sandwiches, cakes, pies, soda etc. A bottle of soda (Tango, Cola, Mountain Dew) is around 50c in Walmarts, compared to as much as $5 in the Hotel Convenience Shops or Walgreens/CVC.

And if anyone needs to work out "probability" then I'd say that's over-thinking it & this is not the package for them. It's just a fun experience, where a bunch of like-minded folks do Vegas, form into groups, run together, play together & have a ball. If you are so minded, you can do Vegas on very little money if someone is paying for your hotel room & contributing to your flight costs.

"The package is worth approximately £4,400 which includes £1,000 in cash to help cover your flight costs".

Just curious:
I can currently book a 7 night stay for 29/7 to 5/8 in a Luxury King suite direct with the Palazzo (or on the various hotel booking sites) for $1330 + $315 resort fees =$1645 (or £1350)
Tournament buy in $800 = £650
£1000 cash to help with flight costs.
£1350 + £650 + £1000 = £3000

Appreciate there's a couple of informal food & drink evenings, but unless they're serving Cristal champagne and caviar.........???

Am I missing something?

Hi,

I can't help I'm afraid, I really don't know how the package & it's component parts have been valued.

Tikay10

Just to confirm the approx package value is £4,000, not £4,400 as originally stated.

I wish i’d read all this earlier
I really wouldn’t have bothered.
I got around 100 points each raffle week. Now i know how disappointing the package is i feel misled.
