It was ok, but I probably wouldn’t stay there again. They nickel and dime you for tons of stuff that would generally be included in the price of the room at other hotels. They also shut off the water between 1am-4am so when your drunk ass got back to the room and was thirsty you were very likely to break into the $5 bottles of water in the room. :/<br /> Maybe they have improved since then though! (Hopefully!)</p> <p>I think we are going to have a cocktail party/house warming on NYE but we’re not 100% sure yet. If we do, the menu will be Hunger Games themed (I have a blog of food found in novels, and there is a ton of good food in the Hunger Games trilogy that would work well as cocktail party food). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448867 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:37:25 +0000 MrsTiz 448867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's what I did! You will be able to see the fireworks from your room no matter where you are. I think I was in the Wynn that time, and we had no problem seeing them from my window. Everyone will be hype during the day, so you can get all your energy out that way and be cozy for the fireworks. Seriously it looks like Times Square down there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448862 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:35:27 +0000 Smurfette 448862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: That is awesome. I am sure they are going to love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448859 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:32:54 +0000 MrsTiz 448859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I've stayed at the Inn before- it is so nice, but I would rather not be there for New Years if that is how much the room costs lol!</p> <p>I booked my parents the Bed &amp; Breakfast package, which has similar stuff, one nights stay, two admissions, etc (albeit no fireworks) for $300. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448851 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:29:43 +0000 BSB 448851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: We probably won't leave our hotel. I just want to watch fireworks. Kinda boring but you think we'll be okay? I'm still figuring out if we should stay on the strip or off if we are only watching the events.</p> <p>On the strip the rooms are like 350 sq while hotels off the strip are 600 sq. I just want to watch TV and fireworks from a warm hotel room. </p> <p>Omg I sound so boring but its what we like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448844 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:25:55 +0000 Smurfette 448844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: That is still expensive even given all it includes. Next year try and make your own package. You could find another hotel just as nice but way cheaper then the Biltmore. Which is why I have never stayed there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448817 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:11:48 +0000 littlebug 448817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 10 days from D-Day, so we're just laying low. My sister and brother-in-law might come stay with us. Maybe we'll go out for dinner or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448747 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:34:32 +0000 MrsTiz 448747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: It's the New Years Romantic Couple getaway </p> [attach=2456/12/mf14pk.512x465.Untitled.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448570 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:15:37 +0000 Smurfette 448570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: That is just for the 2 Biltmore Candlelight Tour. Where was that package through? What did it include? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448561 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:12:26 +0000 MrsTiz 448561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: $150? That must be what is sold out. What I was looking at was a NYE package and was $1800. That is crazytown! 150 is not too bad! I'll be there in January :) Woop woop HB's in NC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448549 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:07:33 +0000 Smurfette 448549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: It is so expensive, $150 for the two of us. But it our last trip with friends before baby, so why not. Plus we got our hotel pretty cheap. We usually rent a cabin with friends, so we are still saving money this way. I will let you know how it is. I have heard it is beautiful! I just hope all the walking doesn't make my back hurt too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448544 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:05:35 +0000 MrsTiz 448544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you are good with crowds! I spent NYE in Vegas a few years back and it was like, less than standing room only. Suuupperrr crowded! Not my idea of a good time, but everyone I was with enjoyed it! </p> <p>This year we'll just have a few drinks and probably go to my SIL's (gag)</p> <p>@Smurfette: I looked into that for my parents for Christmas, that is so expensive, though! I'll need to hear ALL about it when you get back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448535 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:02:55 +0000 Smurfette 448535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: DH and I went when we were first dating for out first weekend away. Loved it. Looking forward to exploring more, since last time we pretty much spend most of Sat at the Biltmore. Any good restaurant recommendations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448532 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:02:12 +0000 Turd Ferguson 448532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have absolutely nothing planned...which I'm totally fine with! It's been a crazy busy month, so I wouldn't be opposed to pizza and tv (though, then again, when am I EVER opposed to that...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448531 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:01:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 448531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I love Asheville! My MIL has a cabin in the mountains about 30 minutes away from there.</p> <p>If AF shows up I'm going to go out! My DH had been working a month straight last NYE and he fell asleep really early so we didn't do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448511 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:50:10 +0000 Bookish 448511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No plans for us, but wooo Vegas! We got married &amp; had our honeymoon there last year. Stayed at the MGM grand, which was great! The monorail, which is rarely even close to crowded, is a cool way to get between casinos on the strip. Check out the Bellagio gardens if you have a chance! Oh and we went to this surprisingly amaaazing restaurant called Hash House a Go Go in the grungy Imperial Palace casino. Best food ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448458 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:05:52 +0000 purrpletulips 448458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping our friends will do their family friendly all night game night again this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448432 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:46:22 +0000 heffalump 448432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always go to a family party. I'm not really excited for it this year, it's usually at either my mom's house or at a neighbors but a different family friend is hosting it so it's further away, it starts at LO's bed time, they don't have a lot of rooms and there will be a lot of babies there so they're probably going to keep each other up all night..... and we'll probably just end up having to go home early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448386 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:03:48 +0000 blackbird 448386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a really good mexican restaurant at the MGM Grant called Diego! </p> <p>I like to stay on the strip. Watch the show at Treasure Island and walk around. </p> <p>We're doing dinner with some of DH's friends on NYE. My doc specifically told me to get home pretty early because of the drunks so we don't get hit by someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448383 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:01:16 +0000 MediaNaranja 448383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that would be fun! Plans are not decided yet. We are going to a wedding in Cali on the 30th, so may just stick around and spend NYE with my brother &amp; SIL or other friends in the area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448378 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 07:58:05 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 448378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are conflicted on this one. It's our first NYE with our LO. Either my mom will babysit and we will go to a party or we will take LO to the party for a couple hours earlier and leave and have a nice night in (most likely) or stay home completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448228 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:18:03 +0000 MapleMoose 448228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Sounds like it's going to be a crazy blast. Enjoy! </p> <p>My family rents ice time at a local rink and then my Aunt and Uncle host a party and poker tourney after skating. It's a great time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448122 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 20:31:08 +0000 Smurfette 448122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to Asheville, NC with another couple for the whole weekend.

No tips but have fun :)</p> <p>My parents usually have a bunch of people so we'll probably be there. We haven't even talked about it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-448025 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:40:21 +0000 ShootingStar 448025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have plans! We're spending 4 days at this great hotel and spa we love on a big lake in NH - <a href="http://millfalls.com/inns/church_landing.htm" rel="nofollow">http://millfalls.com/inns/church_landing.htm</a>. We've got 2 couples massages scheduled, and we'll do a fancy dinner on NYE and then watch the fireworks on the lake in our favorite gazebo. The rest of the time I plan to spend relaxing in the indoor pool and hot tub. Should be relaxing and romantic, I can't wait! I more excited for NYE than Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-447952 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:09:31 +0000 mrs. bird 447952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just informed me he volunteered to work 3-11pm NYE and 9am-5pm NYD, so sounds like we won't be doing anything =/</p> <p>NYE in vegas sounds amazing! have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-447944 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:06:41 +0000 matador84 447944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spending it with friends who have a 1 y/o! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-447940 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:05:43 +0000 Bao 447940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably just hang out with our other friends who have a baby...or just hang out at home alone and be bored lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-447907 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:37:12 +0000 Honeybee 447907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, I'm pretty sure if you're in Vegas for NYE, you HAVE to stay on the strip! </p> <p>NYE is DH's first day at his new job, so we will be going to bed early. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-new-years-eve-plans-yet#post-447904 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:33:56 +0000 BabyBruins 447904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its baby's first birthday so we are having a party! </p>
