Free Shangri-La Night for Playing a GAME!!!
I’ve been quite a fan of Shangri-La Golden Circle since I first stayed with them in Sydney. The actual stay wasn’t too bad although it wasn’t anything special, but what I really liked about them was their potentially lucrative stackable promotions along with not too bad room rates and Virtuoso/AMEX FHR where I essentially received…
