I usually go for a jolt Mobile as recommended by Martin. I've just ordered one for our May trip. I do intend to look into this more carefully while I'm there because the Jolt doesn't let me keep the same number each time, which is a pain.

I have seen that T-mobile give you one year connection if you upfront $100 credit. I will see what the international call charges are, and report back. The $100 is OK for us since we visit at least twice a year.

Are you flying from London? I just did a quick expedia search for your dates and there's loads of options for 2 people under £1300 total for that week (sahara is £300 cheaper than your quote):

Flights are pretty decent as well, with continental. It would be worth pricing up flights and hotel separately as from experience it usually works out cheaper, but expedia is a good place to start to get your bearings with regards to pricing.

If you have an unlocked mobile just get a usa sim,Got one from e bay $20 with $20 credit. Just need to top up $10 every 3 months to keep number and the mins dont expire. Its T mobile and the plan is $1 on days you use it and 10c calls free after 7pm. This has proved a great buy as we have our own usa number. Pm me if you need details

You will not eat better and the choice is enormous . However see if you can make arrangments in advance as we have always had to queue to get in there .
the dining room is very nice . IMO only Planet Hollywood Spice Market Buffet surpasses The Bellagio Buffet , and only because $ for $ it is better value , Spice Market has very high quality and choice but is just pipped by The Bellagio buffet .

Try pricing up flights with all the Atlantic carriers . i also try all the airlines own websites as well as price searchers .

anything half decent and below £400 is good going and you should consider booking it there and then , as you are unlikely to make significant saving over it and the risk of waiting may mean paying a hell of a lot more.

Don't fret about the Hotels yet . there will be some offers available but you might need to wait to about 12 weeks out. book a fully refundable fall back if you are worried .

Verandah at Four Seasons is lovely for breakfast as well, make sure you sit outside overlooking the pool though. Its around the same price as Bouchon, i think it cost us $50 for breakfast for two last time we went but it was well worth it:D

Have you considered Cafe Bellagio, just beside the conservatory? Its reasonably priced good food, in a lovely setting. I've never been to the Bellagio buffet so can't comment on that, anytime we plan to go there i change my mind en route and end up at the cafe lol It is on my to do list though for my next trip.
