Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2014

3 days is fine for SF. Alcatraz tour was excellent. With more time we would also have done one of the self guided car excursions. Stay in the Fishermans Wharf area IMHO.

the ipad/mobile game is a separate game to the laptop/pc game

The LP's should sinc between them if you are logged into facebook, but your chip balances & levels will be different

Thanks, I assumed they would be the same but I'm getting frustrated with the app already as I can't seem to do much at all, especially from my iPhone.

Thank all for the myvegas help. I'm aiming for a few free nights at aria and maybe a buffet. There are 2 of us playing and we have 16k LP since Sunday evening so I reckon 6 months is enough to get a couple of nights. I'm also going to train my dad how to play. As he's retired I'm sure he'll be willing to put some time in if it'll save him some money!

Great, I might get a couple of these then - I do have a couple of the T-Mobile sims, one is yet to be registered, the other was registered on our last visit in Sept 2012, so there's a chance it'll be deactivated I guess?

The Three way sounds nice and simple, and I won't be using it to make many calls

If you are interested in the Three SIM cards, keep an eye on Amazon here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ABJ0WA8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I managed to get one of these for £8.64 a few weeks back, includes All You Can Eat Data (think it's actually limited to 25gb abroad), 300 mins and 3000 texts, lasts for 30 days.

If you are wanting to watch the price of anything on Amazon try this site.

You can register for alerts as well, so it will tell you when it gets to your 'target' price.

Virgin seat selection....

We fly Mar 27th which means I shouldn't be able to select seats until about Feb 25th based on their new 'rules'.

However I tried this morning and was able to do it. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but this was from a link in a delta email which went to my booking on the Virgin USA and Canada page rathe than the uk one.

Others may want to give it a try if you are inside the 90days and outside the 30.

I think the window is 60days instead of 90days for a certain batch of flights. We fly mid-April and I've got a reminder set for 60days in advance.

Mind you, doesn't stop me checking every day anyway

Edit - taken from VA website:
"Please note, passengers flying in Economy after 01 April 2014 who made a confirmed booking before we announced our new advanced seat assignment policy on 16 December 2013, will still be allowed to request their preferred seats free of charge up to 60 days before departure, or after 01 April 336 days before departure."

I booked with Delta back in July, for my May flight....
Although booking is with Delta, its on Codeshare with Virgin (direct), and my Delta booking states I can select my seats from 18th Feb.....


So fingers crossed it all goes smooth, as I want the same 2 seats on the VA plane as we had 3 years ago
Guessing I will have to take my own drinks on this flight again, as everyone said with VA, they run out of drinks after 90 mins!

All of my delta correspondence had seat selection from 90 days but only just worked when I've come inside 60.
