have you booked yet because had a really good offer by post today by venetion for 119 a night including 15 dollars a night american express credit
let me know if you want the email and ill send it on

We booked a package so can't change or cancel. At the time we booked, I checked out prices flights, then adding accom and it was cheaper by £50 to DIY. I figured £50 was a small price to pay to have protection so went with the package through Thomson worldwide, flights are with BA direct from LHR, as we are only going for 4 nights we didn't want to spend many hours travelling, so may have paid through the nose for the flights but we figured the time saved was worth the extra money!

This is our first trip to Vegas so we will probably learn from our mistakes, but we're just happy that we are going and have managed to get our 3 girls looked after for the time we are away!

Can I also just ask, is it worth eating at top of the world to save ourselves the entry fee to statosphere tower, (which is something on our to do list) I know it's pricey but obviously we would need to eat that night anyway and can get $25 discount for $10 on restaurant.com and also save $32 on the tower entry fee, so in theory saving $47. Or would we better off eating somewhere more reasonable and just paying the tower entry fee?

No need to pay $10 for a r.com certificate. FALL is the current code to get 80% off so it will only cost you $2 if they are still available.

* ETA - The code FALL expires today so you need to get a move on.

Maybe wait for further input from members going out shortly or who have tried it recently rather than take my word for it.

We found the Aria buffet to be excellent in May, but haven't tried it this trip for breakfat as it's a bit hike over there.

came back from LV a couple of weeks ago, and we went to the Aria breakfast buffet twice as it was close (we were staying at the Vdara).
this was the only buffet we went to, so can't compare it to others, but it was one of the features of our trip!! (sad isn't it!)

the variety is incredible... and the quality does not suffer at all, it's all very fresh, never sat under the heat lights for hours on end. the only problem was not having a stomach big enough to keep going!

the staff were really great, always making sure you had fresh coffee, juice, etc... we went on the Saturday for the champagne brunch, the OH had a plentiful supply of bubbly (and not cheap fizzy stuff either).

both the Aria and Bellagio have a Jean Philippe patisserie (award winning and amazing!!) which also supplies the pastries, etc. for the Aria buffet, that's the level of quality you're talking.

off the top of my head, the champagne brunch was about $28... regular breakfast buffet is $15...

I can't get the r.com code WOW to work and it did come from an official source.

Has anyone managed to get it to work?
