Basic room for all
Done it in Gbp as this was what some of the hotel sites used

Unless it's a refundable deal, then I probably wouldn't go through a broker this far out from the actual date you're wishing to go... though obviously the 4th July will make things a bit harder

Websites like this one make it easier to find offers valid for holidays periods though:

Well, we arrived in a rainy Manchester this morning. The flight home was uneventful. I've had a bit of a sleep, and am just about human at the moment.

We had a great time. I'll do a bit of a report, just the high/low lights of the six weeks when I feel properly normal.

I didn't see this one Groupon, but I did get an email from Travelzoo Local Deals about it. I only seem to get some of these and not all of them.

Thinking about getting this one as we really like the Mirage buffet. Not that interested that it includes drinks as I would only have one glass of wine anyway.

My mistake Luci - it was Travelzoo that it was on (just checked the email). Silly me :rotfl: Definitely a good deal, shame I'm not going to be there till September next year so no good to me. Hopefully of use to someone. Would be rude not to just taste that wine at least :beer:

Anyone on the Strip this afternoon (around 2pm) near CP may be in for a treat....especially if you like Shania Twain (and horses lol). No guarantees but may be a treat for some
