    I guess that would be the problem - the cost.

    I just want to say "I got tattooed in Vegas"!!

    Thanks for the link :)

    Thanks Luci! And I think I have manage to persuade him to go with me - not because he actually wants to go, but still. That may be the show that duchy sent me a link to previously and I watched a little bit but didn't want to watch too much in advance.

    . ;)

    Yes same link although I understand the show is changing and it was nowhere near the whole show anyway so it wouldn't spoil it too much.

    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

    Just because it's the same flight number-it doesn't mean it will be the same plane from Atlanta to Vegas (and yes I know that sounds insane but it's true)

    I'm flying Virgin next month -and the more I think about it the more I'm regretting it even though I chose it on price and the fact a friend is booked on the return leg. Had I been able to get Delta at the same price (or American) I'd have done that instead.

    I find 10 hours a killer flight-I much prefer changing planes -going through immigration and if time going through security for some unprocessed air and stretch my legs. Then once in Vegas no queues just jump in a cab and I'm there

    The direct flight is vastly over-rated -the only upside I can see is free drinks -if you drink (I don't and am praying for no stag parties on board after the last trip with Virgin-50 legless middle aged men crashing about all over the plane-Virgin didn't even have the wit to seat them together to contain the visiting each other).

    If you are planning on taking a laptop/dvd player etc for your own entrainment the US carriers have much better availability of in seat power too

    (Oh why did I book Virgin ???? :mad: )

    As a tattoo is forever-I'm guessing you'd check out which places did the stuff you like and who your friends were happy with.......Unless you were having it done by a particular artist whose work you really liked I think you're running the risk of getting a "tourist grade" tattoo as they know you are unlikely to be back/ bring your friends in. I'd say choose your artist as well as your tattoo shop. They may have one person who is brilliant and the rest just so-so or bad .

    I've often wondered how much the prices at the various "Ink" tattoo places went up once they got their own TV series's.

    Oh my god, what do I have to do to get a Stripburger certificate from restaurant.com?!? They're back to the 60% off code (VACATION if anyone's interested), I only got the email through 15 minutes ago and they're all sold out already!:mad: I thought as the previous 80% code had just ended I might stand a chance, but no! Are they ever actually available? How do I time it so I can buy one?

    Your best bet is on the first of the month as early as you can get online.

    I managed to get a $25 one a couple of months ago and posted on here that they were available.

    I read on Tripadvisor that they only have 30 a month available

    2 things to consider

    1 if there is a problem you cant really go back there for a touch up

    2 do you want to sit on a flight with your arm wrapped in clingfilm for 10 hours?

    Thanks! So I might have 2 more chances before we go - 1st August & 1st September...or maybe 1st October if I can get to a computer whilst we're already on holiday. It's become a bit of an obsession now because I keep missing out...I think I just want what I can't have! I'll carry on trying and keep my fingers crossed.
