Thanks Tingtong
I've decided to do a bit more research for the time being....I really need to see firsthand what it is I'm buying so I'm going round Comet/Currys and the like....I did realise I might needa few add ons for the Archos

I know you would on the Wind if you wanted to use mobile broadband but not to connect to an existing wireless connection, etc - that you can access without a dongle. I know this because the newer version of the Wind which I don't think is out here yet won't require a dongle.

I also thought that if you had mobile broadband your provider supplied the dongle, but could be confused there as I've no experience with it.

Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Paris and MGM Grand all had some good deals on for the beginning of April. Probably loads more too but these all look like good hotels.

Are there any that stick out, as in mind blowing deals?

@ TangoBunny...

Not necessarily, they both have Wi-Fi (wireless) built into them so can both access wireless internet connections. However there may not always be a wireless connection that you can access so mobile may be better but certainly not needed.

OK done Comet/Curry's PC world etc....I'm leaning towards the Samsung NC 10 up to 6 hours of battery which I think would be adequate

Luci found one at Bellagio that may be a pricing error (great weekend rates) - back a few pages or so.

I booked Mandalay Bay through FatWallet and it's costing about £52 a night - but this is a Wednesday and Thursday so not peak time.

Luxor is about £34 a night and MGM was about the same.

I booked them through the links further back - I think it was Luci who posted the Mandalay Bay one.

It's 4 weeks today until we fly, although we start off in LA we don't get to Vegas until 1st April. Just hoping that the £ strengthens a bit.
