Thanks to everyone for a really interesting thread.
We have booked for 7-12 November so to attend the Nellis Airshow on 10/11 November.
Interestingly there are three of us travelling (39/40/45 all males) and I wondered if anyone had any feedback on what type of accommodation we could get away with bearing in mind we are on a budget!
We are two brothers and a friend and sharing a room is not a problem but a concern is how hotels view this type of arrangement.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The snotty check-in guy refused us a rollaway bed by quoting fire regulations. So we just tipped housekeeping directly to get the bed.

Hello All,
I'm new here and am going to Veags next March 2008 (hopefully 15-22, but can be flexible a couple of days either side). Is it best to book flights now or should I wait til later (eg are there any January sales on Vegas flights??). Sorry if this has been covered before

I am going march 20th paid £280 for a miles plus money fare, booked in April, which I find is the best time.

Best bet now is to keep looking on a daily basis, but most Virgin flights to Vegas fill up dont know about other airlines as I like to go from london and non stop.

So are we! Though we splurged on MaxJet because we really, really wanted to try it.

gerry_r - Vegas is a popular route for Virgin so it's less likely that a sale will pop up for them. Last time I saw a really good sale for Virgin flights to Vegas was right after the whole liquids on the planes, potential terror plot thing...right after there were great deals to be had. I don't think you will ever see a fare less than the £280 miles + money fare assuming flights from London...so if you can use existing miles or buy miles to get the fare, that's probably your best option.

Ferf - Do Maxjet have a regular flier scheme?
