How's it free, you have paid $124 for it?
Do you mean it gets refunded completely or just deducted off of the bill?

sounds like one of the timeshare promo deals

When I was booking my flight I looked at skyscanner (which isn't that good but I liked to look anyway), expedia, opodo, and then STAtravel.

Finally everything is booked :j

Had a minor heart attack last night when my flight reservation that was supposed to be held til midnight vanished when I went to pay for it at 11pm -spent the next hour on the phone to Continental sorting it out. (Thank goodness for Sky's free calls to the US)
Couldn't get my first choice of flights back but am very happy with what I have for sub £450-out via Houston (new one for me) and back via Newark (ho hum). 2nd row aisle seats all the way.
Hotel is booked Caesars in a Forum room -Thank you TR and I have award flights from Vegas to Idaho and back for the other part of my trip. (Actually not everything is booked-need to book the hotel there but have a special rate for the marathon so no stress there).

Have it In mind that snow may be your enemy if you choose to do GC that time of year. Apologies if you have already taken that into consideration

Thanks, nvh. First trip to Vegas but we had figured that GC will be colder with a possibility of snow.

Is there definite snow in Dec/Jan at GC and does it get really bad does anyone know pls? I'm hoping that the Americans are better able to cope with snow than we are over here where the country comes to a standstill at the first flake!

On the subject of pools - any hotels with heated pools in Dec/Jan? I'm taking it all hotel pools are outside but just wondered if they are heated in the cooler months. We're staying at the Golden Nugget which looks like it has a great pool/shark tank scene going on - but will it be heated....

TIA

the snow Can be really heavy, the route to grand canyon as you get closer i can see being quite bad, we had light snow in march on way but was ok. a lot of it is a gravel track so grip is fantastic
