You need to find the ones with the big seats and sound in the back of them, they're even better!

Awesome - my husband actually squealed like a little girl when he saw this.

We're trying to work out from the carpet and background where this is...our best guess is Caesars?

I take it from lack of replies that no one has flown on US Airways before? I guess we'll just book it anyway seeing as it's the cheapest & hope for the best , was just after experiences of the aircraft, food, IFE, service etc

I've flown US on 3 occasions from Glasgow

Glasgow Philli Vegas (twice in August) - IFE TVs in centre aisle, food pretty average - Flight from Philli to Vegas had no IFE, pretty long 5 hrs boring journey - last year we took a laptop and watched a film on this.

Glasgow Heathrow Philli Vegas (March)- Plane from London to Vegas was a 3-4-3 and had seat back IFE - food slightly better.

Service was pretty good on all occasions.

We got decent priced flights, £200 less than current prices, if the price was right I'll use them again as their flight times are decent..

Hope this helps....

Aria from $139 per night

There's is also a second Aria offer at the moment where instead of $50 a day in resort credit you get 2 free Elvis tickets (and a 1 off $50 resort credit)...minimum stay 2 nights. If a two day stay is on the cards ...maybe a better deal for some, for longer stays I'd got with the $50 a day. Manipulating the Aria booking system still works to get you $139 a night over the weekend.

oh, the other Aria deal also has the deluxe view rooms (king bed) at $139 rather than their cheapest rooms. $50 to upgrade to the corner suite (but not with view)
