at first we thought the 3-day pass was what it sounded like but no...I find the pricing structure odd. I get after dark being more expensive than daytime but otherwise it is just weird.

Pricing isn't terribly unlike the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, although they only had 2 options when we went, pick a time or pay whenever you arrive. One was about £20, the other was about £80!!!

Taylor Hicks' last show is on 8 Apr. I haven't heard if he's moving somewhere else in Vegas or just ending the run of shows.

damn...we have been stalking him at Ticketmaster willing him to extend for another 10 days or so, that's all we wanted....is he absolutely not extending again? I think I have checked Ticketmaster every day for the last 2 weeks.

I am so annoyed...I have no idea why we never went before but of course when we finally decide to we're too late.

And yeah, OK, the Sweet Baby Ray's is not cheap relative to what it costs in the US...that is a point...and we have the space...so...but it's nice to know in an emergency it's here.

Just checked in at mccarren for the long flight home. Will do a trip report when we get back.

The nice lady at the virgin desk informed me that you get 25kg of luggage each in economy on the way back from vegas. Not sure if this is standard but it would've put my mind at rest as one of our cases was close to the presumed 23kg. Hope that helps someone.

I would double check that, the website says 23kg

Nice price for a 5 night Easter trip:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/easter-las-vegas-5-nights-345pp-dept-good-friday-including-choice-hotels-with-breakfast-1869791

Just over £500 for 5 nights in Vdara or Signature with direct flights from MAN, can't be bad.

Told to me by the nice lady on the virgin desk and she confirmed it was correct despite the website saying 23kg. Likely to be a discretionary two kilos but I thought it was worth knowing.
