I just happened to re-read what I posted, and think the date is actually the wrong way round i.e. in the American format, so 10/05/2010 should be read as 5 October rather than 10 May.

Groupon is a US website, and a deal that I purchased recently for a boat trip in San Francisco stated "Expires 10/24/2010" which would make no sense the other way round. Sorry for any confusion, I should have thought of that before I posted and edited the details. On the plus side though gracie10, maybe you can now buy a Groupon for your anniversary dinner? :j

I was going to post the same thing, but wasnt 100% sure and didnt want to mislead, but I think you are right and it is the american way round although when printed off it will read the english way round.

At least the one I bought the other day reads exp Sep 30 2010

The first day I saw it was 30th March, so a bit early for April Fools.

It was discussed on FiveHundyByMidnight podcast.

I ordered the Groupon the minute I saw the email in my Inbox!

At last, a coupon that tourists can use!!

I have just bought one as we are going to Alize on my birthday and have already made the reservation.

I was already quite happy as I got a free Dine4Less card when I bought show tickets on BestofVegas which was going to give us 20% off food only. I reckoned that was going to save us $20-25. This is even better with $40 off. Sweet!

I posted a copy of the flyer earlier

Someone on another forum said they had called Flavors at Harrah's asking about it and the manager confirmed that it could be used at different buffets throughout the day. That all the info I have, but if I find out anything further I'll post it.

Edit - Apparently this was in the Empire magazine that TR members in the US get via snail mail.

Hi all,

Looking for some tips and advice if possible.

Been to Vegas a few times and never really looked how to do it on the cheap but am looking at planning a stag do there for around Mar/Apr/May 2011 and want to get on to this early to ensure I get the best deal for everybody.

All leaving from Leeds so Manchester is probably best airport for it and would be looking to stay on the strip centrally so maybe Flamingo would be one of the cheaper ones.

15-20 people going.

Are the flights cheaper if you book as soon as they are released? If so does anyone know when they are released?

Any airports locally that offer cheaper airlines etc?

Is March cheaper than May etc?

Where do you think the best place to book is?

Any benefit from a group booking?

Id like to be able to say to everybody if you are coming it will be XXX pounds so get saving!

Any tips and general advice would be greatly appreciated...
