as for flights try the airlines direct and the likes of Netflights Kayak and Expedia ect ... then post back what price you get for your dates .

What he said. I don't mean to be rude but if we constantly get posts like this the thread will just get cluttered up. Everyone likes to help but people really have to do some legwork themselves first, starting by reading the first post of the thread

Welcome to the MSE Las Vegas thread!

Is that price for 2 rooms or for all of you in one room?

That seems a decent price if it is 2 rooms. It can cost the same for 4 people in one room as it does for 2 rooms as they charge $30-35pp for each additional person over 2.

I really liked staying at Paris, it's a good, central hotel.

Unless they are kids 12 and under, I know some hotels will charge for ant 3rd/4th occupant but Paris never has. been 3 times there with a child and all kids are 12 and under arent they? They never check!

Re the $20 trick at Paris. I have read loads of reports where people tried it only to be offered an upgrade at a price. We've stayed there twice and were given an upgrade to a Red Room luxury without asking which should have been an extra $40/night so I tipped after getting it rather than trying to bribe by offering it first.

I had consciously decided not to ask for an upgrade so didn't have money handy and had to scramble in my bag for my purse.

The second time I just asked if there were any P rooms available and I was offered one on a lower floor or a standard room on a higher floor. We chose the P room as we've been to Vegas enough times that view isn't that important to us.

I have tried it 3 times but only asked for a high floor with fountain view and got it each time.

Anyone stayed there yet? All the reviews I have read have been bad.

I think the kids in this case are 17 and 13 so classed as adults.

The OP has booked with Expedia so will have been charged for them.

I was just trying to say that if booked direct with the hotel, all that will be asked at check in is how old are the kids, they wont want to see proof, so in theory all kids could be 12 and under, and free in many hotels. Of course I only have one and he was only 14 last time we went so only a little fib

ps Mandalay Bay only charge for 15 years ond over

just booked our car for Easter with CH3000 (still grateful for all you guys for suggesting them)...it's almost like booking hotels with priceline for me - the few moments after you click the pay button until you get the detail of which which rental car agency you're with. I get far too excited when I see Dollar on the voucher since it means I can skip the main queue upstairs.

I priced up booking with Dollar's US site as I used to and again the difference was so minimal - £18 more through CH3000, but with full coverage vs. only my credit card coverage through the US site..it used to be such a massive difference - probably before you guys steered me toward CH3000 -- that it wasn't worth it...but for £18, I think it is...so thanks again you guys.

The 17 year old is 6' 3" - so would be a bid hard to pass him off LOL :rotfl:

That's a point - I have a Dollar car booked with CH3000, do you pick up from the terminal? Most of the others seem to require a shuttle to a central point.

Thanks
