It just can't be lol.

Says it includes all taxes and fees too - $357 is just too cheap lol

I have also used Lowcostusa, was going to say without issue, but it may have been them I booked a terrace suite at Cosmo and on arrival the Cosmo said that isn't what I booked

I don't totally trust them as its throwing up rooms the hotel sites themselves don't have available. For our dates the Monte and the Mandalay both have a $350 first night online, which in itself is more than lowcost says three nights will be.

I guess ill have to give them a call....still not convinced though!

Yep, doing all the conversions so its all dollar to dollar to be fair in my comparisons. 28.10-31.10 is the planned dates of our stay in LV.

There are some very good prices but you cant book them online,as it says Call Now beside the price rather than Book Now.

A Tower King room at the Mirage is very tempting - £280 / $438 - $618 though on mgmmirage.com

very tempting, but still :-/

Question, if I book through LCU - can I contact the hotel direct after booking to confirm everything is correct, or is there some issue with it being booked through a third party.

I used lowcost earlier this year and was sceptical even after I'd booked, paid up front, and had written confirmation.

You'll see my posts around about page 68 and trip report on page 95 I think

All fine and would use again.

I didn't realise you were also staying at Platinum. We only arrive at Platinum the day before you leave, and with it being a Sunday we're likely to head out for brunch in the afternoon if we get checked in on time.

Can't be long until you leave now, is it this weekend? I'm really excited about Vegas this year. :j
