Crown currency offering 1.48usd for 02/08/09-20/08/09 delivery anyone think this is worth purchase.

plus how safe is your cash if the go A over T?

Whether it's worth purchasing or not I do not know, but I asked the question previously about how safe is your cash...my recollection is the answer was that there would be no protection if they went A over T, though plenty of folks here have used them many times with no problems.

After digging a little deeper, i think a package from Expedia is better.

Finding the Luxor at a decent price for 7 nights was OK but flight is about 300+.

I would say a flight would cost between 350 - 400, which means you ideally want 7 nights for a about £200.

On Expedia I found flight + 7 nights in Planet Hollywood for about £580.00

The reviews on PH look pretty good!

you never did answer my question about your ages. I only asked because you said you were going for a 21st, if any of you are under 21 you wont get served alchohol or be able to gamble.

I was looking at going to UB40, but Ali Campbell is not appearing with the band so gave it a miss.

Where did you hear this info?

Sorry, just found the info...he left the band in 2008 after 30 years.

That sounds like a good deal. weak £ means packages are becoming more competitive me thinks . i would like to stay at PH if the right deal came along.

As for Blue Man Group , i saw them in Toronto and loved it , but could understand why people wouldn't . only way to know is to go see it.

Does anyone know if any deals for the platinum happen close to check in date ? Going to Las Vegas on April 6th, currently on expedia they are doing 15% discount, will they do more closer to the date ?

Have to book through expedia for a very complex reason I won't go into.

Has anyone stayed at the Desert Rose ? Any thoughts, would rather go a bit more upscale and go to the Plainum but holiding out for bigger discount - will it come ?

Right, anyone seriously interested in a media player for flights should check out this link pretty quickly:

They won't last long at that price, I'm pretty sure of that. I've just ordered this morning, the price was too good to refuse.
