  • Yes, direct flights are around £700 each, so we don't seem to paying too much extra for the hotel. Do you think the price we're looking at is reasonable for the hotels and time of year?

    Have a look at the links on the first page for hotels - maybe look at lowcostusa as they seem to have good deals on the higher-end properties and see how they compare...if looking at prices in USD will obviously need to convert current GBP prices to compare.

    If flights are £700 each then the remainder would be the comparison for hotels...not sure if you are saying you are staying 6 nights or 7...on its face it seems like it might be a good deal but I haven't checked what may be out there in terms of deals booking via other routes.

    £348 Vdara (874-700*2)

    £382 Aria (etc)

    £660 Bellagio

    Not sure if the price you have been quoted includes resort fees but that would be worth checking in both sides of the comparison.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
  • Hey guys!

    Does anyone have any feedback/advice on using lowcostusa.co.uk?

    I need a room at the Bellagio and they have an outrageous price on their site for my stay, its a few hundred quid cheaper than everywhere else including resort fees. It seems too good to be true.

    particularly for the higher * properties it seems....seems like that is where they are regularly quite a bit cheaper than other places, at least that is my perception.

    Just ran through the hotels we've got booked and whilst we've got the best deal on 2 out of the 3, the Bellagio is much cheaper on lowcostusa!

    We've got a Salone Fountain View Suite booked for the last night of our trip (approx £330) and I see for £328 we can get the Bellagio Fountain View Suite (including resort fee!!!).

    Thats a huge result, cheers guys!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:
    Currently saving and planning for the holiday of a lifetime to Vegas in summer 2014!

    5 Nights @ Flamingo -> 1 Night @ Lake Mead -> 2 Nights @ The Grand Canyon -> 3 Nights @ The Mirage -> And Finally... 1 Night @ The Salone Fountain View Suite, Bellagio

    Used it last year for Cosmo and for one of our hotels on the upcoming trip.
  • Looking at driving experiences available in Vegas and have found the scoot city tours, this looks like they might be fun, is there anyone who has used this company or can recommend another driving experience ?
