    November Promo Tickets for Cirque Du Soleil "O" at the Bellagio are finally available (25% discount on selected seats).

    This forum says I can´t post the link because I am a new user...

    If anyone are interested just cruise the FlyerTalk Forum, on the Las Vegas Section (lookup a post from 'mapires'), or PM me.

    Enjoy!

    I found just going to Tix4Tonight while in Vegas gets you all the discounts that you need, last time I was there I was able to get Viva Elvis (great seats!) for $90 per ticket.

    I was actually at that booth nearly everyday getting tickets for alot of shows, Titanic, Hypnotist show, Ballys Price Is Right + a few others!

    We're hoping to go next September, i've been looking at flights and so far i've found one thats direct from LGW with Virgin for £567.20pp, is this reasonable?
    When is the best time to book flights? Shall i wait for a sale with BA or the like?

    thanks

    You have found return flights to Vegas for £223 each!!!!!!????? I assume you booked them on the spot and then pointed everyone else to them. Flights havent been that price for well over 10 years

    Ooops! Sorry!:o That should be £523

    Wishful thinking on my part, I think. Would be nice though.:D

    where were the seats? We got Viva Elvis tickets in advance from one of the offers on Cirque's website for $55...they were balcony, yes...but we were moved up (just checked and we were moved from section 402 to section 203 - ).
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    They were a few rows from the front, on the couches! Really comfortable - how did you enjoy the show? To be honest I wasnt really into Elvis before I went to it, I learned so much from the show as I was unaware that he was in the army etc...when I got home I bought books etc lol

    Thats actually not to bad I went with BA, GLA-LHR-LAS, this was in June - £480.00 - I checked a few times prior to getting them at this price and they were always £600+...so as soon as I seen them at the £480 I booked and I have not seen them as low as this again!!
    BA have a sale on right now...never flown with Virgin.
    And with added tax etc now, they will be that little bit more expensive!

    bungle what did you think of the direct flight with BA? I go on wednesday and have never flown long haul before, so getting slightly nervous :(

    LHR-LAS was a great flight, I even managed to get exit seats (at no extra cost) as I was flying GLA-LHR first I was able to book my seats online alot earlier than people going LHR-LAS.

    Service could not be faulted, great food and a massive choice of in-flight entertainment, was even able to pause the film to go to the loo lol.

    FREE drinks - not just soft drinks, alcohol also...for the whole flight, you just go up and get it. The only thing that I disliked about the flight was the plane was a 3-3-3, this was ok on the way there as we had exit seats and there was plenty room to get passed to get up and about, but on the way back I bugged the sleeping man beside me lots!!!

    Another thing is to do a couple of shows.
