That's an ideal time of year to go.

Been pricing up direct flights for 7 nights, we will probably just get 1 queen room and all 3 of us stay in it. Do the hotels allow that?

Best I found was 7 night October 8th to October 15th for £694 each that includes direct virgin flight, 7 nights stay at the Flamingo and $9 breakfast buffet credit.

yes that's no problem, you've a few options:

- ask for a rollout bed for the extra guest, but most hotels will charge a fee of about $30/night for the extra guest

- check in as two people and smuggle the third in, but sleeping arrangements mightn't be too comfortable

- book a double queen room, though not sure if all hotels offer this, and they may well be priced higher than a 'regular' room anyway. you may also still have to smuggle the third person in, as i would suspect the room rate will be based on double occupancy. but at least you have 2 proper, separate beds in the room.

you'll have to do some maths

Deleted post as I was wrong :-(
It seems things have changed no end since my daughter stayed with us in Vegas but it has been 10 years.

Sorry for any confusion

AFAIK There are no single Queen rooms in Vegas, you either book a King or Double Queen room.
The rate is for the room and you can have up to 4 people in at the same price (but only 2 beds) if you want a rool out as above you would pay direct to hotel.

We did this several times when my daughter came with us, never had to sneak her in.

Quick edit - 4 per room is booking direct with hotel ect, SOME UK agents will charge per person.

Most Vegas hotel rates are based on double occupancy - and most hotels (booking direct) will charge an amount per person per night over 2...usually about $30/pp/pn as secretmachines mentions.

So in some cases, with 4 people...it may not be that much more for 2 rooms instead of all 4 cramming into one...if all 4 guests are declared on the reservation of course.

bad stuff happens everywhere. doesn't stop me going to London, Manchester, getting on planes, etc.

if you act sensibly and distance yourself from anything that looks like it could kick off, you'll be fine... same as any situation, anywhere
