So what's with the car switching?
Oh yeah, that. I switched from Dollar to Alamo because I was offered 1200 Southwest Rapid Rewards points for each. I essentially got the Dollar rental for free b ... |

Thank you for sharing your stories. My stories from the Peppermill aren't nearly as exciting. I think they've treated me fairly, but I've stopped getting offers from them and as a result I've stoppe ... |

I got up at three. Egads, who does this? Me, the bargain hunter, that's who. I wasn't quite ready for it, but I'd already packed, so I left in plenty of time. It was cloudy and uppe ... |

The trip to Metro only took 1:10 - with no traffic and no construction, I was able to optimize my drive time. I guess you could say I like getting up this early. I didn't have any ... |

If he was a real pro, then I'm Norm Duke. He got 20s two other times while he was there (not long), and h ... |

I just found this. I would like to report that the Silver Legacy's luxury tax has increased to $6.81 per night. This includes taxes. |
