which would you recommend between the two,also i thought i had read somewhere big elvis had moved or was it harrahs he had moved to?

VALUE FOR MONEY

He moved from Bill's to Harrah's.
Big Elvis is free, so go to see him anyway if you're a fan of Elvis music. I'm not sure how often Trent Carlini performs, It used to be once a week at the LVH, but I can't say I noticed any ads for his performances last trip.

Ive never seen either in Vegas or in England a taxi with a child seat. Sounds very illegal these days having a kid on your knee in a taxi......wherever you are.

Its not something we want to do but it was just for one trip from airport to house.

We used to put a car seat in a black bin liner, loads of brown tape, and check it in.

Never thought of that, wonder if it counts as part of your luggage allowance, will check it out with airline. Thank you.

Just had a look at website (Virgin) and you are allowed a pushchair OR car seat in addition to your allowance....hmmm..

sorry, don't have kids so not sure if this is what you want.... but cant you just get something like this?:
http://www.trunki.co.uk/EN/categories/boostapak_9

you may be able to use it as hand luggage then (though not checked dimensions - i'm sure there's loads of other manufacturers that make these if you wanted to shop around to see if someone did make one the correct size)

bonus of it is, you can get the kid to carry all your crap around for you then as well

Thanks for the great suggestions.

Nvh.....the trunki is for 4yrs and up,my sisters baby will only be 9 months so a bit too old for her but I will show it to her for future use!

Elantan....I just presumed it was either or on the 1 child booking but can look into it further. We are palnning on hiring a car seat with the car. It was just so baby didnt have to go to carhire place after the flight. We travel as a group and a few of us pick up the car whilst the others grab a taxi straight to the house.

Thanks again, really appreciate the helpful suggestions,thought i might get a few..."don't take a baby to vegas" comments.
