Coming to Vegas next week......there is something for everyone to do if they will just look beyond the Strip (if that isn%26#39;t their bag.)
Going to be staying at Sams Town for first time .....any tips?
Can you print your airline boardiing passes there or do you know anywhere in LV that you can print them for your return trip home without going to the airport?
thanks.........
Printing airline boarding passes at LV?
Just had that issue staying at Boulder Station. I ended up using their business center. Paid $5 to print two boarding passes. Suggest that you ask nice as the front desk or concierge and they may do it for you. (Tip them of course.) Boulder Station also recommended a Kinkos or the Library a few minutes away. (Ask for directions at Sam%26#39;s Town). There are some internet cafes on the strip. I also saw some machines in a couple of casinos (sorry I don%26#39;t remember which) where you could get internet access and print your passes. If you are going Southwest, it is all important, isn%26#39;t it?
Printing airline boarding passes at LV?
Thanks for the info. Never thought of Kinkos since we don%26#39;t have one in the town I live in. Yes, we are flying Southwest so I%26#39;d gladly pay the $5.00 to have them printed ahead of time rather than be with the last boarding group!
you don%26#39;t have to print your boarding pass ahead of time - just check-in online, with SW, then you can print at a kiosk at the airport, now checking also needs a computer and if you don;lt have one just ask the concierge or front desk or biz center. most will check you in complimentary.
I travel often and if my hotel doesnt have free an airline check in computer (many do, especially business hotels) I ask the front desk. I have never been turned down.
If your hotel won%26#39;t print it for you and you have a car- you can always go to the nearest public library. They will issue you a temporary card that will enable you to use their computers for free. There is a fee for printing but last time I went it was under a dollar-much cheaper than Kinkos.
I was at Sam%26#39;s Town in Sept. and remember seeing 2 internet kiosks upstairs in the interior bridge area that connects the casino to the parking garage. I don%26#39;t know if they have printing capacity, however. Sam%26#39;s Town is a great place to stay, make sure you get the slot card so you can get a buck off the dinner buffets. They have 100 percent payout video poker machines, the machines are marked as such.
The posters are corrcet that you don%26#39;t need to PRINT your Southwest pass to be in group A , you only need to check in online 24 hrs ahead and then you are always going to be in Group A and can print your pass at the Airport anytime( which happens very quickly as there are many kiosks for that).
You might go to one of those little Internet Cafes along the Strip that advertises cheap Internet access- frequently they have a computer you can use cheaply, but no printer, which you don%26#39;t need.
I actually got a little ballsy on one trip and asked a guy sitting near me in a coffee shop working on his laptop if he would check me in- and being an Internet wonk, he was happy to do so- and then I printed my boarding pass at the Airport. ( flirting helps of course).
Shame on your hotel for not assisting you. We have always gotten our boarding passes printed free at the Golden Nugget- as a matter of fact they have 2 laptops in the lobby set up for that- I will mention that I was only asked on one trip if I was a guest there- the next time I went right up and used it and no one checked- (even though I was registered if questioned). So, if you%26#39;re staying Downtown, you might confidently walk up to the business center in South Tower and help yourself- the passes print out at the desk, but they just handed them to me without question.
If you are flying SWA, and you say you are, it doesn%26#39;t matter if YOUR hotel has means for you to check in, if you are not at YOUR hotel at that critical 24 hr. mark. That is what I had to deal with on my last trip. I was staying at Caesars and had a meet and greet planned at the Monte Carlo at the time I wanted to check in. I simply went to the business office there in the MC and was helped by a very nice lady. They have a couple of pc%26#39;s set up that actually have the icon for SWA on the desktop. You click onto it and go directly to the page to check in and print your passes. If you print the passes, I believe, it is $1.00 a page. They don%26#39;t charge a usage fee. I%26#39;m sure other hotels offer the same service, but the business offices do have hours of operation that may not accommodate your needs. The MC%26#39;s office was going to close at 7:00 and I printed my passes at 6:10.
