Can anyone tell me how to book open jaw flights with Virgin. Can only see Return or One Way and flight connections. Would like to find a flight from London - SF then SF-Las Vegas then Las Vegas-London or similar deal from Manchester travelling early Aug like to be in vegas on 9th Aug but flexible with everything else. There doesn't seem to be flights from Scotland that are non-stop.
Getting excited all ready.

Click on more options - you can book open jaw from there.

Anyone been to Dessy Bs steakhouse and or Pampas (miracle mile), both available on restaurant.com

thanks

I will never EVER go to Pampas, I don't think I've ever been treated so badly in a restaurant in all the times I've been to the US...We got given one of the BOGOF vouchers they hand out on the strip which basically said it entitled you to two of the most expensive seafood & meat 'rodizio' meals (all you can eat), normally $51.95 each. We trekked all the way back down there from up near Wynn etc, got as far as getting a table and were then told that with the voucher we would pay $51.95 but would each only get the meat only option which is $10 cheaper, and we'd have to buy two full priced drinks and pay a set tip on the total price.

I pointed out that this is clearly NOT BOGOF as stated on the voucher (surely if we were both only getting food valued at $41.95, then on a BOGOF we should pay 1 x $41.95, no?!?) and this guy was just unbelievably rude and wouldn't stop arguing with me, like I was the one who couldn't understand the concept of buy one get one free! At the end of the day it might still have been an ok deal, I don't know what the quality of the food's like so have no idea if it's worth the money, but their whole attitude just annoyed the hell out of me so we walked out...actually that's a slight understatement, I kind of had a diva fit and stormed out but god this guy was obnoxious!

With restaurant.com vouchers at least you know all the loopholes before you decide to go somewhere - if they're going to give out vouchers on the strip to get people into their horrible little restaurant, they should at least be upfront about what you're getting for your money :mad:

Sorry, rant over!

I also have some Pampas r.com certificates I've never used...pretty sure that they are on tix4dinner as well - which, if it IS 1/2 price would be a better deal than the r.com voucher.

One day we may try it, but I've read so many mixed reviews that we've never taken the plunge.

hi
was wondering if any of you guys have used a thomas cook pre paid card?
i was getting some other currency in thomas cook and happened to ask about the dollar rate and the girl recomended the pre paid card.we dont go to end of august but we will be taking a fair amount of dollars as we are getting married and taking our 4 kids so thought this might be a good idea.dollar rate today was 1.54 wish it was 2 dollars to the pound again:(
