June

As most of the hotels are owned by same owner, or you can use player cards in different casinos and still earn points on same card, how does the Tropicana stand up in all this ?
I'm staying there in June, but am guessing the Trop is just the 1 hotel ? doesnt share a link like the MGM group of hotels, etc ?

my dates are 1st june 2011 for 5 nights (can be flexibile)

looking for a direct flight from london (heathrow if possible)
to vegas

and also a very good hotel
all for under £700 (can be flexible)

the mgm, bellagio are looking expensive but have managed to find deals at the Trump hotel only to lose them again

there is a group of us travelling but the searches arent going too well

and online only expedia seem to offer a good deal for flight + hotel (maybe Im doing somethign wrong, any other sites?)

hoep you can help

thanks in advance

Stayed at the Trump in September last year and really loved the hotel. Unfortunately the pool area is rediculously hot because of the gold glass (have been to Vegas 10 times at same time of year and split our trip between hotels, so it wasn't just normal Vegas 'hot'). I couldn't bear to stay there when it's hot again. Would be good in October or April or May maybe!

Tropicana has it's own slot club. I got $10 freeplay for signing up.

Are you aware Trump doesnt have a casino? IMHO its more of a business traveller hotel.....certainly not a party hotel for "a group of us"

101 days until we head back, this time to San Francisco for 4 nights and Las Vegas for 7. Got the hotel and flights booked, staying Chancellor Hotel in San Francisco before going to Treasure Island in Vegas. Flights with British Airways.

Anyway, I saw this on one of the Gadget websites. Navigon are offering free sat nav for iPhones and iPod Touches for a limited time to celebrate CES. It covers Nevada only but I see no reason why you can't download it now and use it in several months time so I've got it stored on my PC. If your using it on an iPod touch your need a newer model with built in GPS.

Features Audi branding as is sponsored by Audi but Sat Nav is fully featured.

Downloaded. It may be a case that it's only valid for a week or 2 or maybe the limited period applies to the download of it. Good spot either way:)

did i imagine this or did someone post about a hotel pool , where the actual building acted liked a magnifying glass and created a hot spot that could burn things ?

BTW everyone the useful guide i use to see what the absolute rock bottom price for flight to Vegas is, was £439 ( or there abouts , my memory is effected by lack of sleep) .

i always look at the dial a flight advert in the Sunday paper travel supplement . this price would be for some very hard to achieve dates ect , but they use it for their headline rate .
