    Was looking at about £1500 to £1700 inc flights.

    When are you thinking of going as this will determine how far your budget will stretch? In my experience booking flights and hotel separately usually always works out cheapest, but i'll always price up a package with expedia first to give me an idea of what price i can expect to pay.

    For flights try:
    https://www.netflights.com
    https://www.expedia.co.uk
    https://www.kayak.co.uk
    https://www.opodo.co.uk

    For hotels always book direct, as if the rate is lowered between the time of booking and your stay you can contact the hotel and get your rate adjusted to the lower price. You can some great hotel rates by booking using promo codes that the hotel release- have a look on https://www.smartervegas.com to see what ones are currently available.

    Depending on time of year, assume £500 flights, leavnig £1000 for hotel.

    Using http://www.smartervegas.com/hotels/the_venetian/promotionalcodes.aspx

    For anyone who is on Facebook I recently became a fan of the MGM Grand & MGM Grand Restaurants & Lounges and they update their pages with deals quite regular most deals are for the Restaurants from what I have seen, there probs nothing like what you guys find elswhere but thought I would mention it for nothing. I have looked for other hotels on facebook but cant see any.

    Hope your all not getting sick of me since I have started posting I was to scared to post for ages!

    Cand - new people are what helps keep this place from getting old and boring - definately not sick of you and no one should be afraid to post. :)

    Luci - did you see that they've rescheduled the Mayweather fight for September 19th?

    http://sport.stv.tv/boxing/105235-mayweather-v-marquez-fight-rescheduled-for-september-19/

    Will be interesting to see what it does to hotel rates that weekend.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
