I found by putting all my modest gambling eggs in the Harrah's basket it has definitely paid off. I'm definitely not a high roller.

You should have a look at Expedia, only coming out for £820 each!!! Bargain for Half term.:T

The price i can get for the Tropicana is £780 with Heathrow flights (BA) or £760 from Gatwick (Virgin)... Heathrow is closer to me, but the flight times are better from Gatwick.

We're going 23rd Oct, can do a deposit of £150 each which is ideal.

Going to book on Monday - you're all making me wonder about the MGM again now although more expensive, however why are the reviews so much better for the Tropicana HELP!

Sometimes it is down to expectation and the type of people that stay in a particular hotel. If planning to stay at the Trop maybe expectations are not that high, so people are content with what they get.
Now staying at MGM is a world apart from the Trop and the more you pay for a room the more you expect, and people tend to get REALLY picky when the least little thing goes wrong.

Merry Christmas to you too.

We've just booked this very minute - through Virgin.

Flying Monday 22nd via Manchester with US Airways - 2 of us and staying 9 nights in the MGM - total price was £1160 - so £580 each.

Expedia and ebookers are both showing as £850ish and US Airways flight alone is £600 - so i snapped it up. We're going for a wedding on the 24th, and a good chance we might fly somewhere else for a couple of days - so not bothered about the hotel/changing at all.

This is the flight ive wanted and have been pricing it up for weeks - cheapest its been was £500 4 or so weeks back.

I think it might be a miss price - the Flamingo total price is showing at £1700 - the Mardi gras is £1500.... we've got this at £1160///

Paid £300 deposit and have a booking ref -
do you think they would cancel it at all? Hope not, im all excited now.
