Has anyone seen any good rates for the 15th-19th March? I realise its spring break weekend, so most of the promotions aren't valid but worth a try.

It's also smack in the middle of March Madness...it's not a time that's really known for great rates - what sort of thing are you looking for (type of property/price) and maybe people can shout if they see something?

Have you tried lowcostusa and other UK 3rd parties?

One other thing I've found with them - if I've made a reservation with them for a certain rate...and in checking later the price has gone down, emailing them and asking for an adjustment has always resulted in a refund to my CC for the difference (I always use the pay in full option as it used to be the cancellation rights were better, not sure if that's still the case).

Edited to add that we just booked with them for next month...it's weird to me that several people find better deals on netflights as it's never the case for us..maybe netflights just dislikes me and charges me more?

I have also called them after booking when the price has gone down and they refunded me the difference.

Have just checked for March as we havent booked car yet.

Netflights is the cheapest of all the brokers for

economy -£10

premium - £16

convertible - £33

Yeah, annoyingly I checked rates when booking flights and there were some really low ones, but now there's nothing left. Something on the strip and 3/4* - Paris would be great, or Bally's maybe.

So it's just me then...or maybe it's the intermediate category as that's what we always rent.

Evening All.

In July me and my fiancee will be going to Vegas to get married. I am just reasearching into the helicopter tours of the grand canyon and there is that many to choose from it is a bit confusing.
Could anybody offer their own opinions from their own experiences as to which they beleive are the best tours. We have saved for a long time for this so don't have a budget as such.

Thanks in advance

congratulations Mike
we went with Maverick and they were great... pilots were really fun and interesting. others may be great too though.

Sundance don't have the greatest safety record, but then in the grand scheme of things a couple of crashes in 8/9 years is a tiny percentage

not the worlds biggest dilemma but still trying to work our way through the strip hotels that we haven't done, but want to do - i'm running out of cheap options though

Here's what we've done:
-Mandalay Bay
-Luxor
-NewYorkNewYork
-MGM Grand
-Planet Hollywood
-Paris
-Bellagio
-Caesars Palace
-TI
-Encore

Here's what we think remains:
-PH Towers / Westgate
-Tropicana
-Cosmopolitan
-Palazzo / Venetian
-Monte Carlo *Hotel32*?
-Mirage

Suggestions / recommendations welcome! - thinking of giving Tropicana a go (purely based on so many positive things being said about it lately... and it'll be cheap) and would like to go for Platinum / Cosmo but I get the feeling we can't afford the room that we want at the latter! - I can see us ending up in PlanetHo Towers...

Not sure I understand what you're looking for -you are looking for cheap on Strip but Bills and the Flamingo aren't on the list but the Venetian is ???
