Do there tend to be any discounts or vouchers available for the rides on top of the Stratosphere? Or will I have to pay full whack for them?

There's a 2-for-1 tower admission or rides package in the Las Vegas Advisor Member Reward book but that's $37 membership fee (but may be worth considering). It seems like I have seen 2-for-1 tower admission coupons before but not sure about rides...but I haven't looked at them for ages .

Lesley, the Thomas Cook flights are on a Monday. I have also seen an article on Travelmole about it.

From yesterday, 3 May, you need to dial the area code 702 when making local calls within Vegas.

There was a riot at the MGM Grand last night after the Mayweather v Maidana fight. There were reports of a shooting, but the media said it was the noise of metal detectors falling over. There were a lot of people hurt.

With accommodation, it all depends what you're happy with. I'd be totally happy with the Super 8 motel on Koval Lane at the back of Bally's/Paris (next to the Ellis Island casino), but it certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste and it definitely isn't a resort hotel.

have you tried the links on the first page?

March can be a busy time in Vegas between conventions, March Madness and spring break...so hotel prices may reflect that depending on your dates. You don't say how many rooms at Wynn (I assume 2) - Vegas hotels are typically priced based on double occupancy if booking direct...so pp quotes can be confusing.
