January is definitely not pool weather. In fact we have found it so cold we will not go in December ,January, or February again.

I can vouch for that.
We went in december a couple of years back and it was freezing.

January is definitely not pool weather -it gets cold enough to snow at times. Woolie weather so if you want to get a suntan stick with September

Didn't quite understand the post about fares but to give an idea last Easter I paid £330 with tax for a flight -for the same period this year there's nothing under £450-and I'm VERY good at sniffing out flight deals lol

Hey guys, im looking at going Vegas in september. Ive already booked the MGM using the Crazy 8's offer for the 18th Sep for a week.

I havent got a flight yet and they seem to be going more expensive every day. Should i wait? or get a flight booked asap?

I came back from LV on sunday with sunburn! Sat by the pool for 2 days and caught the sun. Just a bit chilly at night!

your not going until the flight is booked . prices will only increase as the plane fills up . your banking on the plane not filling up by waiting , and that the airline will cut prices to fill it . given what you have said , i think they are selling seats .

if your getting under £450 i would be very tempted to swoop ASAP

Virgin want £615 at the mo and it will just get more and more expensive the longer you wait.

Cheapest i can see is with KLM from gatwick on 18/9/10 at £444 and that is an indirect flight/s

Have paid £680 to go later this year ??? or payed that last year ?

if you have already paid for a trip what purpose is served by knowing you could have got it cheaper . be happy it sounds like a reasonable price .


cheapest times to go are generally Jan, Feb, and Dec (before Xmas ).

Sorry I should have said I paid £680ish last year. We went in October I think and loved it. I didn't do the Hoover dam, etc, so want to do that when I go back.

I'm looking for around £600-700 again for 8-10 days.

no way i would pay £615 to fly on that plane out of Gatwick .

Have you considered flying into LA direct with Virgin ??? more flights , Better flights ( like 5 times better IMO ) .

if you were going to hire a car anyway , the drive is only 4 hours . would have a night in LA when you land though .

well you need to do your own homework. price up flights and see what you can get would be the first step .:D

let us know , but anything sub £400 is great price . £450 ish is a good price .


as rule people on here don't do travel agent bookings . :A
