Have you searched this thread as the question has been asked many times

Todays groupon is a bus tour of the Grand Canyon, no idea if it is any good or if it is value, just passing it on.

Half price and includes a ratpack ticket

I have only ever driven there and stayed over for a couple of nights (best way IMO)

Thanks ferf, I have 3 nights booked at Mirage and this promotion is only $35 more in total. If that means we can get 2 breakfast buffets free for 3 mornings (it only mentions booking 2 nights, I hope that means 2 nights or more) we would save about $70. I will call them when I get in this evening

Wow! Just catching up with this thread and noticed this. Checked out the room rates at Mandalay Bay in mid Aug where I had booked under a '72hr sale'....

Ended up saving $130, and getting 2 free buffets on each of the three days we're there.... Great deal. Now we can choose to eat Breakfast in any of the MGM hotels.

However, am wondering what we'll have to pay for our two children?
Anyone know a rough price of a Breakfast Buffet for kids?

Dont know how old your children are ? Discounts for kids vary between hotels, most dont charge if under 4 and then others will discount for ages between 4 and 12, then some dont discount at all

in terms of where to sit on a plane, what do you prefer?

seats have just become available on my flight (VA) for the solitary 3 rows in the centre aisle at the front of the plane, between the 2 galleys, just behind premium economy (?) ... rows 22 & 23.
much quieter?

currently have 2 seats of 3 booked on one side of the plane near the front (row 29)

seat plan:

if your flying direct, i prefer to be as close to front of plane as possible as immigration can take a while to get through,

ah yes good point, I couldn't remember which order economy disembarks.
I quite like the idea of that mini-cabin, though understand it can be used for babies (though unlikely on a LV flight?!)

not too fussed about a window seat for the view as this is our 2nd trip
