Las Vegas 2007 bargain hunt + tips

CAE

Here is the link to the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/frequentflyer/index.jsp

Once you have joined you can buy miles, which gives you money off flights, e.g Buy 2000 miles per person for £15 per 1000 plus £15 admin fee. so if you need 4000 miles for two people you can buy them for 4 x £15 plus £15 admin fee total £75. You are limited to buying 19000 miles per year. You can then save just over £200 per person.

However, if you apply for a Virgin Atlantic card you can get 3000 miles just for a first spend on it. The only snag there is that it takes a while for the miles to be credited, and if you want to book the flight soon that could be a problem. The credit card takes around a week to arrive, and you earn 1 mile for each £ spent on it, so you could build up miles that way.

Here are a couple of pictures from our visit in 03, http://www.geocities.com/thisfamilysite/lasvegas we are hoping to go again 08.

I quite like the £499 Vegas deal from travelscope but it is staying quite a way out from the strip. We have a timeshare and could exchange in a couple of blocks off. But would much rather stay 'in' the action rather than 'close' to it!!!

Another great deal I have seen is for Dec 07 - 3 days Miami, 7 days Caribbean Cruise on an RCI ship, and 3 days Vegas £1095 pp, that was with cruisetraders.

Hope these deals help someone.

Woohh Hoooh. I am pleased for you.

keep coming back here and checking all the Vegas sites and we will find some great hotel deals hopefully.

Not forgetting the red rose onthe 20th/21st lol

My sister and her boyfriend wanted to go to the wedding of our mutual friend but couldn't really afford it. When I told her of the great deal you had found they booked last night using the miles plus money fare. Our friend is so so delighted that she has 4 guests at her wedding. Just one little piece of advice for anyone else. To buy the miles you need a credit card (which neither my sister nor her boyfriend has) but luckily my Dad came to the rescue.

It's a bit too early for specific promotions for that period - can't hurt to check the links that Kerry39 posted to get some ideas and check back regularly.

That said, IP has an ongoing Casino Gold promo here:

May be of some help...$65/weekdays, $85 weekends.
