Anyone on BA2277-BA2276 LGW-LAS between early December and March should check your booking,it looks like the route has been cut over the winter.

Just spotted this on my account, the Heathrow times are not what I wanted really but will suffer them, anyone know if you can leave bags anywhere in Vegas as our flight home is now in the evening, don't wanna drag bags around all day on the last day.

You can leave your bags with the concierge of the hotel you are checking out of.

Cheers for that, can;t believe I didn't think of that :eek:

Am gutted about the MyVegas buffet rule changes, I'm staying at Planet Hollywood this time (stayed at the Vdara last time I went) and was saving my LPs for the buffets :mad:

Proper shame - I am staying at The Sig next month so can still use buffet awards - is it not just Aria that has changed so far?? If so get them booked and I read that they are stilk honouring the terms that apply when you redeem - just make sure you have print outs.

We not going until February 15th so that won't work, it could all change again by the time we go though, will check again nearer the time.

Thanks for the TR. Lizzielie.

If you can drive in Spain, then Las Vegas will be easy peasy. The traffic around where we have our apartment in Spain is much more stressful than the worst that Vegas has thrown at us. Even the SO drives there sometimes, and he hates to drive anywhere.

I so hope you are right Pebbles, as I want to explore a bit more outside of Vegas. I always say, I have driven in central London as well freshly arrived to the UK, so should be ok. Fingers crossed

Lizzie, did you goto the Friday or Saturday night show for BSB ???
We were there on the Sat night, and oh yes, what a show!!!! great night

We went Friday, and we totally loved it! I hate to admit, I was gutted to miss New Kids on the Block Looking for what's coming up over Christmas and NYE, so far we have Britney booked and may add Celine to it too. Gutted to miss Matt Goss' last show on the 27th. Did my best today to have our flights changed, but BA says no:( Even though it is them cancelling the flight. Oh well, we will rock it up in London instead

nvh those are awesome! I love them. Thank you for posting.

lizzielie - thanks for the trip report, really enjoyed it! I agree that too many moves can be a bit blah but one is nice we think..we have Ceasars and Cosmo booked and are toying with a one-nighter at Golden Nugget since we have been saying for YEARS we would like to try one night downtown...but we wouldn't check out of our main hotel, just take an overnight bag...but after too many moves last trip I think we're both a bit skittish about even that.

Thanks Ferf, not a bad idea keeping the initial hotel for the night and just go with an overnight bag. May just consider that idea in the future! So many hotels to try out, and never enough time!

nvh, love the photos! Nothing like a good thunderstorm! The wonder of Mother Nature x

Does anyone know if Trump still sticks out like a sore-thumb on Hotwire (ie. it's the only 5* without a casino in North Strip)?

I'm checking BetterBidding but recall someone (Lesley?) saying something about another hotel falling into the zone (though that may have been Priceline Name Your Price)

edit: actually, doesn't matter - Priceline Express takes the guesswork out of it (it lets you choose rooms so I can easily see what Venetian / Palazzo is, and it's cheaper than what I thought they were on Hotwire)

Not been reading about the flight changes o not sure what has happened but if BA are cancelling a flight they should offer you a refund or an alternative.

If the alternative is not to your liking and they wont change it, I would post on their facebook page...it works with KLM
