You hit the nail on the head there. I phoned up the other place that had a similar deal and they said that meal would cost $200 for the 2, but the value was put at over $300 with the club access. I was told that the waiter would require the tax on the $300 and a gratuity of course.

The gratuity part I can understand - it's not the waiter's fault that a customer has a voucher - just like tipping on the full value when you have a restaurant.com voucher...but the tax I don't...I don't understand how they can charge tax on something you did not buy...if you use Total Rewards points to pay for a buffet - you don't pay tax...I can't understand how this is different. Sounds like they are being rather sneaky.

I'm quite sad that we now regard £476 as a bargain

Sooo tempted to switch when we go from May to March. It would be £555 for us in March compared to £788 in May.

Good prices there unfortunately it is a bit cold then so we won't be going.

But totally unsustainable if you think about it.......£200+ taxes, and the other £100 to pay for fuel, staff, planes, food, drinks, movies, handlers etc.

Hi all - quick question..
how long after landing in Vegas should we book the car hire collection?
We're on the Virgin flight from Gatwick - landing at 14:20.
