Yes I do :-). I waited a long time in my life to go and now I'm making up for it in the last 4 years :-).
Besides they hey keep giving me free rooms and money towards food so it's hard to say no.
Free is a loosely used term

Oh it's definitely not free. More like a Venus Fly Trap. Suck you in and then eat you ali alive. I could never live there because the same thing would happen to me.

The Platinum is not in the mugging neighborhood.
I plan on going to vegas sometime soon. I'll be staying at the cosmopolitan. 
They keep sending me suite upgrade emails, and if you opt for their in-house points as opposed to marriott points you get a free night after $1000 spend (including room rate) so it should be very easy to hit.

Damn, that's a long wait. I only upgraded this week (because of you and jsucool76). I'll probably get my card long after I've forgotten about it. I hope I remember to downgrade before the AF is due.
What are you thoughts on Barclay AA (Red or Silver) vs. the Citibank AA? I have both, and I'm gonna cancel one. Is there already a thread on this? I don't want ot hijack.
Red vs AA is very equal. I think the nod goes to Barclays because they offer more bonus programs like the recent 50% bonus. The Silver of course gives you the 3X miles for flights so if you're booking a lot of AA flights then this card is worth it over the Red. I'll make my decision about whether to keep the Silver or go back to the Red as my AF approaches. As for my two Citi AA cards my plans are to close those out by the end of the year and merge my CLs
Just an update. I upgraded to Silver as stated above. There is a time frane in which you need to change your mind. I believe my time is September 3rd (upgraded July 17). If you don't downgrade by that date (thinking many in this thread missed the date), there is no downgrade to red in order to avoid the annual 195 fee. Didn't ask about canceling the card, but they might frown on that. She stated this should be in the paperwork they sent you (and I guess should have read the full disclosure if upgrading online).
If any reps have repped (not a word ), would be interested in hearing. There is no downgrade path for first year. Just a heads up.
