i think it's sew109 or thehumble that has the nightclub chum

as for palms / hardrock / flamingo being where the younger generation hangs out - i'm not so sure about that, think every hotel has it's fair share of younger clients - TI Orange Bar was rammed with young folk when we last went

as regards your desire for PlanetHo offers, only one i've seen is this one:

have a search here as well as fatwallet and the links on the first page - adjust the dates as applicable to your trip

just got an email from the wynn for specail offers in jan and feb starting from $109 for midweek anyone want me to send it them

Now if it was May I would be biting your hand off! That's an excellent price for the Wynn.

I've booked the Signature, but still toying with the Wynn/Encore.

9 25yr old British guys?

I have been to Vegas many times now and have always been fed up of queing up for the nightclubs. What is the best way to get round this and where can I get the best deals?

Look forward to hearing from people.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan 9 guys will not get in to many nightclubs let alone without queuing have a look at nitetours this gets round it its owned by a friend of mine and if you need a contact above their website let me know and I will pass you on his details. I have a group of friends that went for a stag in Nov and he sorted everything for them and they thought him amazing. http://vegasuncovered.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/nitetours-launches-new-las-vegas-added-value-night-club-tours/ the other option is of course bottle service but tha will set you back $300-$400 per 3 guys per club and you will not get the table for the night !

I would also scrub staying at Hard Rock because of the location

I have been to Vegas over Columbus day which was not too bad I have however been there Labour day weekend and you could not get on a slot it was so busy, going that weekend will add a premium on your accommodation costs and it will be busier than normal which will mean less discounted show tickets and longer queues for everything.

Just a mention, we met a young guy and his girlfriend on the mystery adventure that told us he got the Wynn for 4 nights at $89 a night on priceline. He said it ws a shoe in to be Wynn as one of the facilities listed was a golf course!! Never thought Wynn would have to resort to being added to priceline or hotwire, shows how hard times are.

Thanks ferf. I had scribbled it on a Post It when you first posted it, but obviously got it wrong. Still considering it for April/May, but hubby's not keen.

Why wouldn't he be keen? It is a great 2-3 hours fun and cheap with it. Make sure you use the $5 off voucher on the site, and yes you will need to book in advance, the tour is very popular now, just look at the reviews on trip adviser, not one less than 5 stars. They are also going to be on the cover of Vegas Now next month so that will make it a shoe in that it will get very busy.

Well, just gone and booked for Vegas end of April. Managed to get probably the last of the direct BMI flights from Manchester.

Going for 7 nights, staying in the Red Room Luxury at Paris Hotel. Anyone here been in these rooms ? Says they are on the highest floors and sounds like they maybe recently refurbished. They certainly look OK and the location is probably as good as anywhere else on the strip, for what we want anyway.

Have you tried using the http://www.playerrewardscard.com/ for booking. A few of us got great deals that you wouldn't be able to touch anywhere else. I got 7 nights at Paris for $470, yes that is dollars!
You would need to find one of their casinos near you and get your membership, which is free, or just book anyway and chance that you don't get asked for your card when you arrive ( which i didn't when I arrived at Caesars, which we got for $550) BTW when are you going, I think half this board is there in April.
Just had a look, random dates in april, 14-21 is $540 average $77 a night including weekends, you will not beat that, BOOK,BOOK,BOOK!!
