I've left my holiday planning sooooo late, I had the best of intentions to be so organised. I booked the holiday on the sunday then got made redundant on the friday so it all got pushed to one side!!

I'm scared i've missed the boat with reward cards, loyalty schemes etc!!!

Has anyone got and tips on what I can do in the short time before I go to help me save, get good value and enjoy my trip?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks x

Depends on what you plan on doing (or enjoy doing) let us know...

Also, have you been before and how long are you going for?

if you mean the players clubs you can sign up when you get there...sometimes it's better as they have some sort of freebie you might miss out on if you sign up online...not sure how many of those sort of promos are still around...but some slot clubs will give you some free play or some little (usually not great but maybe a bit fun) gift for joining. Most will require a passport to sign up.

Hi, we're planning a trip to Vegas, San Fran and then drive down the coast to LA or San Diego. Return flights seem to best from Vegas as any other combo seems really expensive and it's only £29 single from San Diego to Vegas.

We're looking at some time in May or into the first two weeks in June of next year and either 2 or 3 weeks. (one couple may go for 2 weeks and we're thinking of 3)

When's the best time to book flights please? (yes I know - how long's a piece of string!) I've been looking on Sky scanner, but nothing much under £650 direct - is that the norm? I'm more familiar with NYC and flights seem pricey, but are obviously farther. What do most people pay? Happy to go indirect if it's a good deal.

Not too bothered about hotel side of it as we've got loads of air miles to use for those to treat ourselves in LV and SF and happy with motels etc., on our travels. Any help much appreciated please.

Thats a very good price esp if non stop. LAX flights are usually cheaper than LAS

guessing thats with Norwegian air, you will need to add £100 return per person if you want baggage, food and seat reservation

no, flights in May & June to LAX from London are looking at £450 ish at the mo...
That's with US Airways, or American Airlines (or 1 of them, but partner flight)..
I got my eyes peeled again to go back to Vegas next year
But will fly to LAX as a lot lot cheaper, and I love driving, so 11hr flight + 4hr drive = easy peasy....
