Las Vegas thread and MSE guide 2009

Hi people, I am going to the Ricky Hatton fight but haven't booked flights or hotel yet. I was just on http://www.netflights.com which have good deals on the Planet Hollywood hotel, 7 night stay for just over 300 quid.

Trouble is, the website is being a pain for me and when I press the continue to book button, it does nothing. It gets stuck.

Does anyone have any experiences with netflights?

$500 per person.....

Thanks, yeah that's what it was a while ago. And then there is the caddie tip of $50 on top of that.:eek: They shoot themselves in the foot with that. We have sat out by the Country Club grill on a few occasions and never see more than a handful of people playing. I bet most of them are comps as well. Rumor was that he was going to dig it up and build a convention centre there, but not really the time to do it now.
I will stick with my $35 rounds at Angel Park.

my initial understanding was this was more of a Priceline ball's up? (but they tried to offload the blame onto Wynn?)

either way, you'd be gutted wouldn't you!

i'd tell them where they could shove their trump if they tried to do that to me!

I think priceline and Wynn were blaming each other. If I got the email from PL that I could either have a refund or move to Trump I would say that I hadn't received it and tried to book in at Wynn showing them my "Wynn" reservation number. OH would have a right paddy in front of everyone if they told us we would have to move out, I am sure they would find room for us over at Encore;)

some amazing prices out there!
i'm moving to the US next month (visa permitting) and will go to vegas at least once this year.

best bargain i got was a penthouse at the bellagio for £125 a night.
stopped there 5 nights.
expedia cocked up by putting the all the rooms types at the same price!

Any music events on in May at all.... would have loved to see the Killers or Travis....

This is a pretty good place to have a look.

I also use https://www.vegas.com/shows and put in my dates, choose headliners and see what's around though the latter option will include ongoing productions and not just one-off concerts.

I found a deal for a suite at MGM for $70 / night in July from here but I'm wondering whether it will be so swelteringly hot that it won't be enjoyable? I have only ever been in late September and April, so not sure whether i should go ahead with it or not??

Also - does $70/night for a suite sound like a good idea at that time of year? I'm a bit out of the loop with Vegas prices at the mo....

It will be hot! A suite sounds like a good idea any time of the year. I couldnt find any for $70 from your link though..standard rooms start at at $75 unless I was looking in the wrong place.

I think there will be better deals..the latest Mandalay Bay offer is for rooms from $65 june onwards (I think from memory)

Not really but I tried it and it gets stuck for me too - so probably a problem on their end...maybe try again in a bit.

Just had a look at the 1st link and it looks quite like a few sites i have seen......

I really would like to see The Killers but a bit mind boggled as to which ones are safe? Has anyone ever ordered concert tickets in Vegas off similar sites to these? If so do they actually send the tickets off to your home address or via email so you have to pick them up at the box office? This is another thing i am a bit worried about.
