Las Vegas thread and MSE guide 2009 part 2

Is £1400 about right for 4nights in Vegas, from November ~25th onwards? - For 1 adult, 1 17 year old, 1 15 year old?

That is including flight and hotel, and relevant taxes. ?

I think we will take in the Love show, it looks good. The time we spend in Vegas will be based around the Canyon, Casino's and Thrill rides.

My only concern is bringing the price down because we were due to fly out on 14th November but there is a fight at MGM that evening, so flights are dear.

I'd like to be near the venue for the big fight but then again, none of us are big boxing fans so it won't be a huge miss if we fly for a week starting the 16th Nov. Any suggestions on trimming the costs. We really do need to go with Direct flights :T

Thanks.

What hotel is it and where are you flying from?

Your stay includes a friday and saturday night which are much more expensive than weekdays in Vegas. If you're flexible with your dates you could try moving your stay a bit to avoid the weekend, which could bring the price down for you.

Whats the best price you've found so far? Have you tried pricing flights direct with the airlines as well as:

Where are you flying from?

London, we think, although based in the Midlands so anywhere is possible.

Priced it up independantly and Expedia is a fair bit dearer than when I go through Virgin and then some hotel deal websites, but thanks for the tip :beer:

For Cirque du Soleil tickets please read this post:

There is a link HERE they have tickets for all Cirque du Solei shows as buy one and get one for a friend for $25, this should work better for most people than the other promos.

I just picked up four tickets for the 10:30pm showing of "O" for just over $400 in good seats.

Fly out to the States next Friday and then onto Vegas on the 7th!

The cheapest price i could see was £533 with Virgin going on the 14th, only £20 cheaper going on the 16th. There was an indirect flight for £344 on the 16th but i know you want to fly direct. (These prices were with netflights btw based on a 7 night stay).
