The Code is: MGM

Threw me a little at first too!

The code MGM does not work for me, any ideas???

IGNORE!!! Just tried looking at normal price tickets and it gives an internet 25% off option, I guess this is the same offer??

Thanks Duchy,we ideally would like to stay on the strip, as it's going to be our first time there.
Have checked flights out and they are cominm in at £596 each with BA. Seems a little expensive, but its for 10 nights in March/April next year.
We would prefer non-stop flights as some that i have looked at connect in Newark/Toronto.
Budget is around 700 each

Thanks again.

Easter always shoots up so check a week either side of your thought of dates if you have flexibility. I've heard poor reports about that Toronto connection but AA or Delta connections (through Chicago and Dallas and Atlanta) are usually a bit cheaper and a good compromise-Continental through Newark is OK too but if you definitely want direct the BA flights are nicer planes than Virgin's. Use a comparison site like www.kayak.co.uk to make sure you're getting the best price.

For a 10 night stay bear in mind that hotels on Friday and Saturday nights are about twice the price of the other nights so work the dates so it includes only one weekend rather than two ie arrive Tuesday leave on Friday

is the budget £1400 for 10 nights inc flights?

If so it should be doable but flight prices are going up all the time it seems (I think there is going to be more tax on flights for the time you are looking at).

As Duchy says a good starting point would be the Flamingo. A great place to look is http://www.harrahs.com/vegasvacation/. May be to early for next year though.
You say you want to be on the strip..Mandalay bay as mentioned, is on the strip as is the Stratosphere but they are about 4 miles apart.

Really would pay you to read throough page 1 and follow all the links.


BUT if the flights are nearly £600 each that only leaves £20 a night for accom, which is less than $30 a night you would struggle to get on (or off) the strip for that although not impossible

You order over the phone and then you have to get them the money within a time frame (next day i think) by bank transfer

Or by cheque...taken from their site

Cheques must be posted within 24 hours of placing your order and take 14 days to clear in our account.

Yes anyone can get it, your money will be with them for nearly 3 months before you get your notes back.

I ordered at 1.77 in jan this year for delivery last week and everything went ok.

I am deliberating over this deal as it is only 0.05 more than their current offer.

Thanks for that.
If you had to transfer cash from your account online to theirs,surely you would need their bank account details.Would they also let you send a cheque to them through the post.Obviously they wouldn't receive it next day though.
