First time going to VEgas in February. When is the best time to book a show or two whilst we are out there and can anyone recommend where to book?

Thank you

depends on the show and how disappointed you would be if you didn't get tickets - for many there are good discounts to be had booking in advance...I think Tix4Tonight is great but if it's a show you really want to see and if you can get a good discount in advance and have the tickets booked then that would be our preference.

Page one gives some sites that regularly have discounts for some shows...many may expire before Feb but many have had discounts for a long long time so likely to be updated closer to your dates. If you have an idea what shows we can give you an idea if they are regularly discounted.

the card itself may still be valid (probably is) though any points earned in the previous trip will probably be gone.

A heads up ref tix 4 tonite.

I rarely use them preffering to book via a deal before I go via travelzoo, groupon etc etc.

I believe its still the case that when booking with tix4tonite you only get a voucher which has to then be exchanged at the corresponding box office, you then have a choice of going straight to the box office and hope to get a decent seat or wait till just before the show and get whatever is left

lowcostusa are ok to use, but before you do Signature is often on offer via travelzoo, althou for 10 nights that seems a decent price as it will include at least one weekend

Except for Total Rewards, they only last for 6 months, grrrrrr!

Social rewards keep them active though, so it's another reason to get social rewards going!

yes, sorry...I was only talking about the Venetian club...another good thing about Social Rewards is it helps keep the expiry date of your reward credits moving on.
