    cityandshow.com have great rates for the Encore. As posted earlier, I was tempted to book it for our last 3 nights. However the thought that there may be no taxis when we needed to get to the airport put me clean off.

    Plan B was to book one night there while still keeping our room on at Paris. However that has been thwarted as Encore will only allow bookings on cityandshow for a minimum of 2 nights. Their price is £95/night (get an error trying to price it in USD).

    Does anyone know any other sites with similar rates? This is for end of April and current offers only go till end Feb I think.

    Just noticed this post and can't understand how I missed it when I saw the one straight after it at the time! Sorry!

    So you think the cheaper seats would be OK? It's a distinct possibility that we will go, but I haven't thought about booking yet. Did you book well ahead?

    Oh to meet Donny Osmond! * Swoon* :rotfl:

    Must get this planner started otherwise I'll be booking shows at one end of the strip when I'm staying at the other.

    It's quite a small showroom so no horrible seats although personally I wouldn't
    like the balcony. I'd aim for centralish and avoid the seats to the side through. I rather like the look of the golden circle booths-nice seating.
    I do have a decent seat plan somewhere-let me know if you need it.

  • After being back from Vegas for just over 3 weeks we couldn't resist temptation and have just booked to go back this September. Our flights came in at an amazing £323 each with NWA which is almost £80 less than what we paid to go last time.

    We have decided to fly to San Francisco for a few nights, then drive to Vegas, which is something new. It's now going to be my 4th time in Vegas! We need to start going elsewhere but I'm addicted!

    It will be a new experience this time as we have always ever gone in December so hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer this year!
