I've found Delta flights LHR-LAS-SFO-LHR for £470.

Cx at ATL (outb) then JFK (inbound)

Not too shabby a price methinks for May-June

Concerned that the JFK connection time is 45 mins :eek:

BTW
Found £450 flights LGW-LAS-SFO-LHR

45 minute domestic to international at JFK is tight but just about doable. Would be impossible on the outbound. As long as you are on one ticket, you'll be protected if you miss the connection. Personally, I'd prefer a little longer!

Rod Stewart is performing at Caesars Palace when we are in LV. I can only get these tickets from Ticketmaster Section 2NDMZ1. Do we just take these, after all this is our only opportunity to see him, or could we do better when we get there?

Hello all, long-time reader/lurker, first-time poster here.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread, but haven't seen any recent advice re buying Cirque Du Soleil tickets - I'm interested in 'O' - I went to see it last year, and thought it was astonishingly good, but was a bit far away, and would love to be in the 'splash zone' at the front this time around.

So, it's now only a month until I go (Nov 26th - Dec 3rd), so I thought now would be a good time to get tickets - the one-letter name of the show makes offers if not ungoogleable, then at least not obvious.

I don't mind paying full price, it's a phenomenal show, but obviously that's not ideal. I see on the official site that there is a promotion where you can get 20% off certain performances, but this only runs up until November 19th. I presume this is because there is a higher-charging period which (according to the Bellagio site) runs from November 23rd to 27th. Do the folks on here agree with me that if I wait a little while, the 20% off section will update with the dates after that period? Or should I just cut my losses and go for full-price now, lest I miss out on the best seats (which might already be taken, I don't really know how popular it is)...

Arrived last night, first time on BA economy, better cabin than Virgin, roast beef dinner was nice, and the flip up "wings" on the headrest are great, place pillow up againt them and head stays put while you sleep. staying at Platinum and for the first time could not get upgraded to a Princess suite, they are completely full for the next week. Really busy at the moment with a big fight tonite, PBR finals this weekend and NHRA racing on at the speedway

My Nevada ID card was waiting for me, now to sign up again for all the players cards. Which HET property is giving the best promo signup at the moment?

Yeah SEMA was why we couldn't get an upgrade. We are off to M resort tonite to keep out of the way

News on the Cosmo deal. they changed it a couple of weeks ago. Signed up tonite and you can either have $10 free play, spin the wheel, OR do the $100 lose and get $100 credit. You can not do one then the other.
