As well as Opodo I would try https://www.netflights.com then check the airlines' own websites.

I've read that it's 20 minutes I'm not sure it's quite that long, to be honest. It's really not far to PH and the Miracle Mile Shops. Or if you want to head south on the strip there is moving walkways to MGM Grand.

Well, it is attached to MGM in a way, by a covered walkway. We could walk from tower1 out the main entrance and up to the Harley Davidson Cafe (which would be city Centre location now) in less than 10 minutes. TBH it is all relative in Vegas, from anywhere to anywhere else takes longer than it looks, it's all long walks in that town.

It took us about 15 mins to walk from the Signature to the strip, but that was from our room so 10 mins from the front entrance on Harmon would be right.

To go through the MGM it took about 5-10 mins to get to the back of the MGM, then another 15 mins to get to the front.

Agreed it takes longer than it looks to get to any hotel in Vegas, but it just felt longer getting from the Sig to anywhere after a couple of days.

£76 is about $118 which is not bad, but I've seen it for less. Does that include the resort fee?

That is a great price, well done. And with all the extra goodies you did fantastic. Yes you will get BA miles, just make sure you add your BAEC number in the "my bookings" section.

I have noticed that VS are doing a redemption sale at the moment. 35,000 miles return to LAS quite good availability except for Sept., Oct. Trouble is that the fees and taxes add over £200 to the total, using 35,000 and not getting any miles, I would not bother just to sit in economy, better to save them up for Prem. or best wait for an Upper redemption sale
