June

it appears I have 2 logins, hmmm strange... anyway, i was gonna add this to my previous post:

RE Mandalay Bay - stayed there last June at thehotel, was in a 750 sq ft corner suite (29th floor i think it was) Loved the place, it was quality. The walk into the lobby from the casino was a propa 'wow' moment (this was our first time in Vegas) and the room was superb. We got it for roughly $100 a night. Ive got a few pics online of it:

Mirage is nice hotel - been refurbed since we were there two years ago. But deals are generally much more expensive than MGM Grand deals, which is of a similar standard.

January , February

Looking to see KA and The Lion King. I'm about to look for the cheapest tickets but are either of them guaranteed to be cheaper over there?

Hi all

Its been a while since I was on here, some will know that. Anyway I may be going this year after all, in August...I know its hot!!!

I have a question tho as I havent flown Virgin for over 2 years and VOWED never to again, BUT have they sorted those tin cans they use on the Gatwick/Vegas route yet as I can get a flight in Aug for around £450.

If they havent I will prob go from Norwich again

Good to see you here again, i'm afraid Virgin still use the old planes, have you thought of looking at BA from Heathrow? They seem to be around the same kind of costs normally.

as for quidco, earned just under £500 cashback in 14 months.

I learned about quidco here a few years ago...£718 since May 2007...it's like magic to me...buy things you would anyway and get paid for it...just switched gas/electricity suppliers last week - should save £300/year from current deal + £70 cash back...silly not to.

It would be KLM cityhopper to Amsterdam and then either KLM, Delta or Northwest who all codeshare (I think) with one stop in the USA

Fares are from around £480 in Aug (late) I only paid £330 last year:(
