Las Vegas 2007 bargain hunt + tips

debasur

don`t really know what happened with the phone number prob..i closed the page down ,reloaded and tried again ,and it went straight through and confirmed my reservation.

And as you say probably once your booked and at the check out they won`t even care about little details like player card numbers (fingers crossed icon!!).
And if they do ,well what better time to use the $20 trick hee hee!!!

Thanks for your info and help on this site pal , hope you get a good deal as well:beer:

think i,m gonna book this deal as well before i get my flights sorted as they only take your 1st nights deposit and they will refund this if you cancel a few days before.

7 nights ...£300 quid for a 4 star casino smack bang on the center of the strip is just too good to let go. plus i was budgeting on £500 each so still have £350 each for flights.. very confident of getting over there in May / June direct for that.

But would you actually want people to say that you paid too much?
Not that you have, I know that it would annoy me.

just a bit !!! even if i had that type of money set aside i would resent spending it on a flight. i,ll tough it out in Cattle class and save my hard earned dosh for 4 top notch meals when i land thanks. then use the other 400 quid for a better hotel



this is not enough info to help you search for a better deal.

does this included flights ??? i assume you are all in the same room ?. who is this price quoted with?

room only for thoose dates with TRAVELAXE i can get a rate of $2000 ish which would be a good starting point for going direct to the Hotel and get a better rate.

if your buying off a UK agent remember they paid for their rooms allocation when the dollar was stronger a while back . with it nudging $2-£1 now you have a better buying power. your Nationwide credit card will earn it,s corn and prove it's worth here

Thanks for replying!

The price i was quoted was including flights from Manchester (1stop)

We are all in one room and our daughter is 6

Thanks again

I've been looking at 3 nights from 3 July in the Venetian, standard room and I've come across a hotel only deal at virgin for £249 (£83 per night). Which is the best I've seen by quite a margin. Is that likely to be a good price, considering the dates? And should I snap it up? I'm twitching to book it to be honest. 3% quidco cashback aswell. :T

Also looking for 2 nights at the bellagio on 18 and 19 July but cant seem to get lower than £128 per night at the moment. Is that a good price?

Its part of our honeymoon so I dont have any flex on the dates and dont want to leave it too late booking.

The direct BMI flights from Manchester are stubbornly staying at £600 each as well. Any ideas if these prices will come down at all? And does anyone know what the £50 seat upgrade gets you?

Thanks in advance.

trets77

BMI do seem more expensive . i think it a simple case of they are direct flights from the north of england and they only fly twice a week. plus July is the WSOP and there will be a lot going from UK to enter

i remember that the dates i wanted last year were fully booked up 4 months in advance with BMI.

is there no way you can do Gatwick??. you can get a weeks parking and a room the night before you fly out for about £70 staying at the Travelodge, plus you can then take advantage of Virgins excellent twilight check in service meaning all you have do is show up at the gate at 9am the day of the flight.

car parking is also efficent and secure as we used this hotel and parking deal when we flew to Toronto before Xmas.

https://www.holidayextras.co.uk usually shake out as cheapest or nearly the cheapest

Virgin prices for Feb and march are now below £300 (just)
http://www.airline-network.co.uk/specialoffersgatewayweb/gateway.aspx fill in boxes

as for the Venetian deal it looks quite good ( cannot beat it with Travelaxe). and you certainly will be in the a very very nice hotel. Bellagio and Wynn are a little bit plusher , but you pay a hefty premium. i'd choose the Venetian if it was my Honeymoon

although you might consider appraching the hotel direct

BOOKMARK !!!

say £1000 for the room i cannot find flights for thoose dates to better your orginial quote . again Manchester flyers seem to have less choice and pay a premium. they might come down nearer the time

Could try Man-LHR-LAX then spend a few days there before going to Las Vegas. If you can't find a direct flight.

Here is a site for flight comparisons:
