    Hadn't realised that the Luxor was THAT much below the Bellagio !

    I found both deal from page one on vegas promotions. I've just been told that the Vdara is worth a look? No casino, but (I'm told) good deals as it's new and trying to attracted custom ?? Any thought ?

    I can't find anything on getting coupons ?


    Info on coupons is on the 2nd page under

    coupons.

    Dont know anything about the Vdara as i havent stayed there. I know its location etc, its in the middle of a development called City Centre which doesnt appeal to me, but as you say it is new and does have some good deals

    Is there a page here for newbies ?

    I'm looking for info for Nov, I've found some good deals at the Bellagio, but now can't find any flights that match up (well, any flights cheap enough!!)...

    would have a good look around for nov, bound to be some good deals out now

    we did all inclusive in mgm grand for 78 dollars a night when we went last year,

    was good on the whole as it did keep costs down but problem was it was 4 nights of going to the same restaurant, looking back i wish we had eaten somewhere else for some of it, as when we then moved for our last 4 days we tried to cram so many places in

    100 extra a night seems an awful lot to me but maybe prices have shot uup since i last looked

    i keep getting emails for palazzo for 129 a night if you want me to foreward them to u

    Yep April. Preferably the 11th to the 21st atm.



    As much as the Virgin price is ok, I actually really fancied doing it all separately.

    There is time to change my mind yet. (I also know for a fact if I booked that, I wouldn't be able to help myself checking for cheaper prices :o).

    Think I will wait on the flights for now.

    If they go up, they go up.

    Hopefully there will be some great hotel deals nearer the time!

    Thanks again all.

    Just searched on Zugu.co.uk

    And all for - wait for it - £457 per person!

    The outward flight is direct, return looks a bit of a pain via Paris.

    There was an alternative for £462.30 PP, direct out and back via LA - looks a much better bet.


    Zugu give great options, by a mix and match sort of approach. I booked by trip via Expedia, having found the flights on Zugu. The reason I used expedia was no charge for using a credit card.

    Hope this helps:D

    I didnt know Delta did non stop from manchester, the flight times look suspect to me. Going on those times it is 7 hours 25 minutes flight time plus the time diff of 8 hours makes it 15 hours 25 minutes, so on those times it looks like it stops somehwere

    I would check that very carefully as Delta don't do non-stop from the UK regardless of what that site says.

    ** Edit - That flight is direct, not non-stop. It actually touches down in Atlanta.

    Just checked that flight from Manchester on OPODO. It also says NON stop but when you go in to detail it says change of plane in Atlanta


    Still a good price though

    Now if you're not too bothered about the casino - try the Carriage House. This was a tip from Luci and I haven't actually stayed there yet myself. However, it looks pretty central and the rooms are like suits. I have booked for the family trip in August and for 7 nights for the 4 of us it is $419 in total. (phone them to book, slightly cheaper than on-line)

    I really don't mind not being in a casino hotel for a family holiday - just want a comforable base for doing the sights and trips out. And at that price, money left to spend on the helicopter to the Canyon and some shows.

    :D

    Just a proviso re the Carriage House. It's not the most modern of hotels compared to some of the high end places, but it is spotlessly clean and very comfortable so it may not suit anyone looking for the latest furnishings and gadgets.
