Dan, Please check out the www.vegasmessageboard and ask the same questions.Great site and ask away any questions about the upcoming trip and hotel choices..Planners plan and these people understand that down to specific rooms to ask for at check-in...You have plenty of time..I've been registered with them about 5 years now and still ask questions about upcoming trips and give advice if I can..
Just more people with recent experience there than here... new posters are very welcome ..Best Wishes ,James

And P.S. When someone posts over there about adding a chip to thier collection,I always post (Jamesxnj is my username) the Chipboard link to them to try to recruit some new members who may not be aware of the CC+GTCC.
