mookybarky - how long did chicago take you to transit ? :eek:
i'm starting to panic a bit as we only have 1hr 35mins between flights , to land , get off , pick up our cases , clear customs, drop off cases again and we have to change terminals from t5 to t3..... although i believe that's only 2 minutes"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
happy travels !!

We managed it in 2007. I think we only had 1 hour 20 mins, but it worked out OK. The airline changed our flights, but wouldn't refund us because the official airport time allowance for that flight was 1 hour 15 mins. It's just that PHL and EWR are so much easier.0 -
SeptemberHi,
Has anyone flown with us airways and connected via Philly etc?
I was just wondering if my baggage will go right through to vegas or do i need to pick them up in Philly and check them in again?
I have been wondering (and panicking!) about the same thing. We fly Tuesday morning via Philly on the way there.Money Saving convert!!:j0 -

If anybody need a dirt cheap room Orleans have a fair selection of rooms available in Sep for either $25 or $1. It's off-strip and a place we will never ever stay in again, but others seems to quite like it, and you really can't go wrong for $10

off the top of my head:
The queue of wife-beater dressed Hispanics waiting to cash their weekly pay check that stretched a good 100m that you had to cross each time you went in and out the casino;
The food poisoning the better half got (If there's 150,000 rooms in Vegas why go back to a place where you picked a bug up from?);
poor location (why stay off-strip when you can stay on-strip even if it has a shuttle ..... there's just about nothing within walking distance of it);
The pool is poorly located meaning its mid/late morning before its in the sun. After an hour or so in the gym we want a spot in the sun to relax and read and thats got to be before the sun gets too high in the sky, so it doesn't tick the box;
Like most cheaper casions, its full of smokers.
On the plus side it's nice to have bowling/cinemas on site and at $1 a night......0 -

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0
