Vegas and --------

Mike_J

Next year (Sept)is our 25th wedding anniversary and OH has always wanted to go to Vegas but we both acknowledge its a long way to go just for short break (I believe the general consensus is 3 days is enough).

We are toying with doing a two centre including......and there is where the dilemma begins. We are looking at somewhere to just zonk for a week after Vegas (beachy and maybe AI). We have done Florida on numerous occasions. We are not sure if we fancy the west coast (LA, SF etc). Mexico sounds a good bet. Caribbean was another though but we are talking maybe September here so those strong winds may be an issue

Suggestions folks. Also if anybody can point us to a good place to start to price up such a trip. Don't fancy doing everything individual but seems to be having trouble with the main holiday sites of sorting pricing for the UK-Vegas, Vegas-??, ??-UK round trip. It seems they all think you want to come back to the Uk from your destination.

Where in the UK are you?

Which week in Sept is the anniversary?

Hawaii??

Can be expensive though

Warrington, North West UK. Flights would be out of Liverpool or Manchester. Anniversary is 10th September so looking to be away for then BUT if costs are significantly cheaper we are flexible around that time, even going into October.

Was also looking at Hawaii but really dont want to go further away for the relaxing part. Possibly one reason we not sure about the West coast

A friend did Vegas and Mexico booked with Virgin.

I don't know where you read that the consensus is that 3 days is enough in Vegas. If you read the Vegas thread at the top of the forum you will find that the regular there would disagree with that.

You may want to visit the Grand Canyon so that would take up one day or half a day depending whether you went to the south rim or west rim.

3 days would be enough in Vegas if you don't do any research and just wander round the hotels. However with a bit of planning you may find there is a lot more you want to do.

Virgin now fly non-stop from Manchester. I think Thomas Cook still go at certain times of the year.

I spent a week in Vegas and barely scratched the surface of what there is to do in the immediate and surrounding area.

Three hours is enough. All a matter of choice of course, but I found Blackpool more appealing than Las Vegas.

Look at the best virgin can do for you on direct flights from MAN.

I know it's all opinion but I never dreamed I would ever read a sentence like that.

Apart from the strip itself, Vegas is a superb base for visiting many other places nearby.
