    Sorry, i was talking about a room with a jacuzzi.
    Prices i am willing to go to are around £700 for the week for both of us combined. want somewhere that's nice to relax in but obviously but doesn't cost the world. There doesn't seem to be many promotions during October.

    Don't know about few promotions! You can get MGM tower for less than $1000 fo the week (what are your exact dates?). Personally if you are looking at aobut £700 I'd pay a few more quid and stay at the Signature or one of the other 2 or 3 top end places. Jacuzzi, suite, balcony, free wi-fi, quiet!

    Get one of those credit cards that don't charge a fee on transactions and start booking. When something better comes along cancel the original booking.

    Looking to stay there as well, it has good reviews.
    £400 seems a lot, when are you going?

    We are planning to go on Monday 7th July 08 for four nights and the cheapest we have been quoted is $533, which is approx £265 from https://www.travelworm.com

    Probably because the five nights include the weekend which bumps up the price.
    Besides, 80 quid a night for one of Vegas' best hotels doesn't strike me as being expensive.
    There's always Hooters,of course !

    Last time I went to the Paris (april this year), I paid $99 a night, not sure if it is one of Vegas "best" hotels, there are a few that spring to mind that are better.

    I think that's something worth noting...in general, what you get in Vegas is so vastly superior to what you would get in the UK or most cities in Europe for the same money...we've several times paid £90/night for a small room about a pub (a great pub, but still) in St Ives...and paid only a very little bit more for a beautiful fountain view room at Bellagio.

    I tend to think that's why I hear a lot of people from the UK perfectly happy with CC, Stratosphere, IP, etc...because relatively speaking, the rooms are good value - once you convert to GBP they're practically free...but you can usually have so, so much better for not a lot more money.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    :eek: :eek: :eek: that THE HOTEL offer has really put me in a dilemma . i,m getting £110 for my nights and we really would like to stay there, but do i cancel my PARIS booking to do it ??. i,ve booked it up anyway as $110 is a great price IMO. what does everyone else think i should do ??:beer: your opinions are most welcome

    $110 seems like a complete steal for The Hotel...but Paris' location is better IMHO.

    I can't remember if you are already splitting your trip to different hotels, but if not, maybe that would be an option?

    If it were me I can't quite figure out what I would do either. :) I don't spend a lot of time in the room and posh rooms are somewhat wasted on me for more than a one night treat now and again...and I prefer centre strip...but that price is just really great.

    What was the rate for Paris again?
