    In my experience prices rarely come down last minute. Just book the hotel you want for the lowest price and enjoy your trip. The price may go up or may go down. Its all a gamble, just like vegas.

    credit crunch- Re TC flight, friends arrived yesterday on this flight and found it to be fine. Plenty of leg room but felt seats were a little narrow. IFE just ok, 4 movies but not on demand. Food...well plane food but edible,thai green curry or sausage n mash. Afternoon cream tea including 2 small sandwiches,scone cream and jam.

    They booked via directholidays and had 20kg luggage allowance but person next to them only had 15kg. I think you can pay to get extra 5kg. Paid 1098 for 2 people inc car hire so very good value.

    Hi everyone, just lurking on the board. Some may remember from the previous few years threads. I see a few of the names I recognise are still here. We've not been back to Vegas since March last year but since then have had a baby, so it might be a while before we're back. Doesn't mean I can't lurk though ;)

    Hope everyone is well. :)
    Love MSE, Las Vegas and chocolate!

    Been keeping an eye on virgin flights for next june from manchester and have been getting daily alerts from kayak. its been stuck at 800 for easily the last month and then today its dropped to 600. Jumped on them at this price, made up with that as its only 50 more expensive than paid last year!!

    Hi Guys

    So... we have our flights booked for Vegas on the 30th August 2012 for 5 nights - but we haven't booked any accommodation yet...

    So I was wondering if you think it's worth waiting till last minute to book - I know its only two weeks away, but do you think prices are likely to go up or down?

    We want to book Mirage but on lowcostusa the prices seem to have shot up over the past two weeks?

    Booking direct through mlife would incurr a further $125 in resort fees....

    Any tips really guys - do we book now or wait till the death!?

    Or does anyone know any good deals on certain sites at the mo?

    Thanks in advance!:T

    Kath

    Closer you get the more expensive they get...usually

    super contrats on the little one mookybargirl - a mookybabyboy or mookybabygirl? :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Its time to book now. There were a few bargains posted over the past few weeks....Signature for around 50 quid a night sticks in memory.

    29th April, to 9th may £576 with Virgin (said i wouldnt fly with them again but the refurbed planes and the right price have changed my mind.

    The same flights were nearly £700 a couple of days ago

    I'd get booked ASAP. You will be staying over here during the Labor Day Weekend so prices will be higher and availability reduced.
