Some fun awards of the past year here. Must say most I agree with, along with pet peves, best Resort complex Wynn/Encore. Can not see why MAG didn't win anything, everyone loves it.

It's there, best restaurant, reader vote

October , November

You buy the certificate, say $25 off for $2, and apply the $25 to the bill at the restaurant. Follow the link and the instructions will be on there.

Also, if you search this thread and the previous one you will find lots of references to it.

December ( including Xmas and New Year )

Hi There, thanks for this post, this truly is amazing for someone who has not been before, full of great info.

Going to Vegas in December, so was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on buying flight tickets now or closer to the time? Currently looking at £2200 for 3 adults & a child with Virgin. Looks like it is cheaper to book hotel myself reading some of the posts and discounts on offer.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Woohoo we have booked, we are going in July, counting down the days already. Never mind that we seem to be going at the most expensive time of the year - July.
We chose theHotel at Mandalay Bay, thanks to all that gave opinions good and bad, it seemed to offer a good balance between good pool and good room. Flying BA and staying 8 nights. Can't wait!!!!!!

Remember, whatever it looks like on a map or out of your hotel window, MB is a long way out of it. Even the walk to MGM or NYNY which are both South Strip is a long way.

Possibly the inter-MGM-hotel trams may save some shoe leather, but they have particularly barmy and not intuitive stopping sequences.

We always have a car, but you dont always want to take it out.....the deuce is sloooow......taxis will get stuck in the traffic on the strip.....

But no denying its a great hotel.

Hey, thanks for this - have never seen it before!

Wynn (& Encore) trounced Bellagio then!

One to completely disagree with personally - WORST MEAT @ Ellis Island - Nah!! I loved it - roll on Ellis Island!! - by the way – I polished off my plate of food! (below)

One overlooked also The Orleans - for outstanding value off-strip.

If by MAG you mean Mon Ami Gabi - It won the best restaurant didn’t it?
(Though I may be confusing Readers choice with Editors choice)

Great post!

£2200 / 4 = £550 each . not great but the flights get more expensive the more the plane fills up , if doesn't start filling up they will cut the price to fill . there is no holy grail set of rules that will allow you to know though . we always say if you are happy with price , and choose to book it ....NEVER EVER look back later to see if it went down . you were happy when you purchased , so it serves no useful purpose .


have you investigated any non direct flights or BA ?

anything below £400 ..... book it quick

£400 -£450 .... pretty good price

£550 may be par for the course for your dates , it's all supply and demand .
