Just had this through from Virgin - not sure if it's much of a benefit paying $20 per 2 bags to drop them off at these hotels instead of checking in at the airport (or checking in online then doing a bag drop at the airport), but i'm sure some people will find it very useful!

Thanks! They've had a thingy on their website suggesting that this existed for ages but there was no link behind it...so it was just like a little dead icon. I emailed them about it maybe a year ago and they said it wasn't available. If Bally's was one of the hotels I would be darn sure to use it...but since it's not, we'll continue to check in online the day before, then on the day we'll head to the airport about 11am in the rental, check in and head back out for a last few hours of Vegassy goodness.

The CSI experiance has just opened so we checked the ticket prices and planned to go back the next day.

I'm hoping that you made it back as I would really love to read a review of this. Really enjoying the report and look forward to the next installment!

We never made it back there! My friend really wanted to go as she's a big CSI fan but we just ran out of time.The tickets are $30 on the door and I checked at tix4tonight as well but they didn't have them onsale there yet.

That's OK - I saw that they were $30 and that it's expected to take you 60-90 minutes...it sounds like it could be great or could be just meh so I'm hoping to read some reviews before deciding. Part of my thing is that it may be really busy in the early days - have read some reviews of it when it was other places and sounds like a nightmare if it's really busy.

Just bringing this over to this page if anyone can help, thanks

The Special offer at Treasure Island where you get 30% off for booking over 91 days in advance, does anyone know if this is a limited time thing or if it is always available?

This has been available for some time now, its not run by Virgin themselves its a company Bags to Go, and its for other airlines too, and so been hesitant to use them...would rather take mine to the airport and know its got there.

The offers and promos change all the time so I would say if it fits your dates book it now, but if your dates are outwith the offer dates just keep checking to see what they offer next.
