WDYW - on netflights type in the name of the hotel as THE Cosmopolitan there appears to be two different ones. I had the exact same problem. Hope this helps.

No matter what dates I put in the only rooms I get listed after clicking more options on Netflights are:

Standard Promo
City Room (FIC)
Terrace Studio
Wraparound Terrace Suite

Tried just about all dates in July/August. Are they hiding there somewhere or all now gone?

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Las Vegas from: £148.89
View Details -Suplier code:

• Hide Room 1 Options
  
  • City Room (2 Queens) Min 1 Adult, Max 4 Adults, Max 4 Children Room only £148.89 per room
  • Terrace One Bedroom (1 King Size) Min 1 Adult, Max 4 Adults, Max 4 Children Room only £167.44 per room
  • Terrace One Bedroom (1 King Size, Premium View) Min 1 Adult, Max 4 Adults, Max 4 Children Room only £195.26 per room

Thats the results for 2 nights random in Aug but as scottish las says there are 2 results for the cosmo (no idea why) they are on the same results page if you search for all hotels in vegas

It does make me wonder if the prices are wrong

Thanks Scottish Lass and Photome. 2 nights now booked at less than £100 per night for the 1 bedroomed terrace view.

THat's our hotels all booked now for our next holiday. Starting off the first night in a Rush Tower room at the Golden Nugget (midweek, - detest Freemont Street at the weekends), heading off for a weeks mountain biking/hiking before returning to Vegas for stops at Cosmo (hopefully!!), Aria, TI and Vdara.

Just need to sort out a car and hotel for the night before flying now.

cool - where are you going mountain biking / hiking?... are you camping or doing national park accommodation (or similar)?

Well I just booked the South Rim trip with Viator and a coupon code for two of us. Works out at circa £123 per person

Am thinking of going to see Penn and Teller. Has anyone been? If so, what are the 'Mezzanine' travelzoo seats like? Too far from the action or OK?

You really need to be a magic or P&T fan, otherwise it's a bit boring, they buy cheap applause by calling up participants from the services.

Our seats were about halfway back and cost us $95 each. You really need to be a fan to enjoy.

WOOOOOOhooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!
Roll on Friday, roll on Virgin-Atlantic getting me to Vegas Turbulence free!!

Anyone used that No.1 Traveller lounge in Gatwick South?? I bought a groupon for there giving access and free munchies (danish crap, does say only 1 free bacon buttie, gutted!!! )
Anyone stayed at 'Stanhill Court hotel' just outside Gatwick before?

Also, the Free WiFi you Pay for in the hotels, anyone know if they restrict data as such? ie: Skype & Viber (VOIP), anyone used there laptops or Iphones with those programs to speak to peeps back in the UK ?
