It may be that the offer to send to friends is different than the one sew received directly?

I had a miserable time at Venetiam it really was not for me, I wonder if the offer I received was different based on my play

I think so - looks like when you sent it to me I got the same as photome...still, thanks for the offer and trying - really appreciated!

We've opted not to do Venetian as we'll only have checked into Bally's the night before...and that will be the 5th hotel on our trip to that date (pre-Vegas)...so probably not for us this time, shame as I would like to check it out at least...another time.

You can't...but it's easy to do when you get there and you may get extra freebies for signing up on site.

cheers for your replys stoneman, photome + trust

defo getting the charger now... you're right about the mustang look - think that's why i'm so keen (plus seeing the vids of the turbo chargers on youtube )

as regards the NWA stuff, we've got a "AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A330-300" for transatlantic which looks good and modern so fingers crossed it will all be fine! (got 757 for the 4hr jaunt from detroit to vegas - if that's bad it doesn't bother me as much as i'm used to crappy shorthaul planes)


here's my flight schedule:

There:
London -> Detroit
Detroit -> Vegas

Back (this is a nightmare but the !!!!!!s cancelled our return plane so no choice but to take two in place of it making it 3 overall!!!):
Vegas -> LA
LA -> Paris
Paris -> London

SO.... one thing i'm sure Stoneman has answered for me before (but i completely fail to remember) is what needs doing where and when? Do we have to recheck our bags at all airports both there and back (apart from final destinations)?

Any other hints / tips / warnings?


[edit to say] - crappers, didn't think i'd signed up for Total Rewards, but missus reminded me we signed up at Ceasars in 2006... plums - wanted some more freebies! [/edit]

Oooo! Hopefully this will be extended into May as I'm still hoping for my one night at the Encore.

Did you notice if this offer has a 2 night minimum stay?

Not sure how similar they are, but we've flown with BMI on an Airbus A330, and must say, considering it's a 10 hour flight, it was pretty comfortable. The seating config is good (2-4-2), so you can get a 'pair', without anyone else disturbing you.

Also, for everyone, I can't stress how useful we find our Archos and Ipod Touch for these long flights. Most airlines seem to have glitches with their IFE, so along with that not being a problem, you also get to choose exactly what you want to watch.
