    Ok so I need your help as I really cannot figure out Seatguru and booking the seats.

    Its a Virgin flight VS043 Outbound and VS044 Inbound, can anyone help please?

    They use a 747 400 series on that route, if it's any help.

    I've done it, I didn't realise that I needed to book seats on Virgin atlantic rather than virgin holidays.:rolleyes:

    Never mind all done now.;):D

    Best find my list and cross one thing off.

    Im off to vegas in Oct and i have got a question about Tix4Tonight.

    Is it alot cheaper to order tickets from say smartervegas using discount codes or are Tix4Tonight around the same price?

    I dont really want to tie my self down to defo evenings unless there is a big difference in price. Interested in seeing Blue Man Group, Mystère @ TI and some sort of magic show, not sure which one yet (any tips? :))

    It honestly depends. Both those shows will most likely be Tix4Tonight but the discounts may vary. I've seen Mystere for example offered at a 50% and 30% discount there on different trips. There are good promos floating around at the moment for both so i would be inclined to book them in advance if they cover your dates. But then we like to have a show or two booked in advance so we have something set in stone, and just go with the flow for everything else.

    There is a "buy one ticket get a second for $25" promo for Mystere, which works out to be about a 40% discount:

    There is also a 40% off promo for BMG here:

    Can anyone give any feedback on what the driving is like out to red rock canyon and the valley of fire?
    My wife is quite a nervous passenger and gets a bit panicky with heights especially when driving close to shear drop offs.
    I've only had experience of driving to vegas from LA and around the main strip area in general so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    There aren't any really sheer drops on either Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire. Have a look at the website here it will help you to see what it's like.

    Driving to Red Rock and VOF is a doddle. Red Rock is only down the road from vegas, VOF is a little freeway driving and then you turn off into the middle of nowhere where you can literally drive for ages without seing another car.

    Recommend visiting both. Choose Red Rock 1st and then VOF.

    I loved Love even thought I wasn't a Beatles. I'm now always listening to their music and would love to see the show again. I was very impressed all the way through the show. It was amazing (and we had cheap seats in the very back row) :)

    Aw, we'll be there first week in April so will miss the meet :(


    I thought LOve was terrible. I am a huge Cirque fan and an even bigger beatles fan and was looking forward to this show for ages. Unfortunately it just didn't deliver for me. No real Wow moments in the show. Also went to see Mystere and O in the same week and these 2 shows absolutely blew me away.

    With Donny on Dancing with the Stars (US version of Strictly Come Dancing) starting next month I'd expect it to be quite hard to get T4T tickets for Donny and Marie Luci-but they are in London this weekend filming An Audience with...... and apparently are doing quite a few of the Vegas numbers within that so watch it for free in November instead ;)
    I'll post after the taping (if I get in - I have tickets but with this show if more celebs turn up than expected they bump the public ticket holders) if it's a fair representation of the Vegas show for those wondering if it's a show worth seeing in Vegas.

    Yes I know they are rarely at T4T, but there have been reports of people getting them. As we've seen it before I'm not too bothered if we don't see it again, but would go if I got the tickets cheaper as they are quite expensive.
