Just booked to go back in March (27th) just the 2 of us this time , leaving son at home..whoo hooh.

£380 each from Norwich

I have been a few times at end of March and weather has usually been pool weather during the day, but as Dee says it can be windy

That is one cracking price!!
BTW we have been in March several times, and although Dee lives there and has more first hand experience, we always get weather in the upper 70's low 80's. It is the nights that the weather drops to 60's.

Yeah I must admit anything below 95 is cold to me!!! lol

I'm absolutely itching to go back to Vegas! When does it start getting hot over there? March? Would want to avoid spring break!

March is the worst time to go if you want to avoid the SoCal college kids. The NCAA basketball finals are on and all the Uni lot come to Vegas to party and bet on the games. You can't get a seat in the sports books, especially around the end of the month.

Imagine how much they'd make if everyone tipped them! The amount of people we saw not tipping CW's this trip was unreal!

There was a belting CW in Mirage just recently. Kept thinking she'd messed up the drink orders. She brought 3 lots of drinks over eventually, I ran out of hands to hold them! Even told her it was correct but she just ran off and got some more.... Bless

Guy sitting next to us ask for 2 Buds in the Bellagio, when she brought them over he stiffed her, said he would catch her next time. Tracy lent over and right in his ear said "so you have had $12 worth of drinks and feeding that machine, but you stiffed the CW for 2 bucks" he took both his drinks in hand and moved off. Man I love my wife!!

We're going 29th March. Got Delta for £425 each from Manchester. Considering we've been looking at £200 more recently, we jumped on it.

We are also going with Delta. Price dropped yesterday, it had been £440 for a while and then looked yesterday, down to £380, just had to book it.

Does mean I miss Nascar but will go to the Monsterjam final:D

Some good looking prices. Had a tinker and seemed to go as low as £365 from MAN which is stupidly low (and in fairness were looooong flights.) In April seems to jump back to £600+ so is it a mistake? Either way good on ya, almost got me contemplating a March trip

When we stayed there that was the biggest problem, no storage space. And look in the last photo where the TV is, at right angles to the bed, how are you supposed to watch that!

The TV in our room was at an angle but not a problem for us as we spend very little time watching TV in Vegas, much better things to do!
Storage was not huge there was a small wardrobe for hanging space but can imagine not enough for your wife's dresses and shoes
