Hi all

I will be in Las Vegas later this month. Our plans are to stay at the
Stratosphere. I was checking my account with DAL and I have enough
miles for a room for 1 or 2 nights. I can however book the room for
our entire 4 night stay and the pay amount that the miles will not
cover. Thing with that is it would cost me than booking the last
nights directly through the hotel. I am hoping that someone can tell
if I can combine both these reservations into one, so I only have to
check in once, as well as keep the same room for my entire stay.

Also wondering what everyone's thought's are about the Gold and Deuce
bus service. I am hoping to avoid renting a car, as I am sure that I
will have it parked in a valet lot more often than not. Might only
want it to get to downtown or to one of the 2 outlets.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I actually did the math (room rate +
taxes + resort fees) and found that I would only save a $1 or 2 by
using my miles for part of my hotel stay and booking the rest through
the hotel. In any event I just booked the hotel directly with hotel on
their website using a promo from another site called micechat.com. I
was able to get a refundable rate, so if something changes or I find a
better deal I can cancel and lose no money. Looks like DAL is basing
its prices and millage amounts on regular room rates at least at the
Stratosphere. If they would base them on the rates people actually pay
I could have a free or almost free room (of course not figuring in
resort fees).

Now I just need to look the Las Vegas public transit website to see if
they offer multiday passes on their site. I always like to purchase in
advance, so I can just get on the bus, train, or subway and go. Also
guess I should look into an airport shuttle, as well.
