we did our bit for the exchange rate rise by buying some today at 1.6610...so expect it to hit 1.70 by the weekend.

Thanks for the tip of using Kayak, just what I was after! With 3 different airports to chose from I shall have a little play around with what will work best! Just waiting for payday, or rather hubby's, in a week's time and we can book the flights!

Planning 3rd visit in October for OH 30th - may go back to signature or liking the look of Aria or Cosmo..

Just waiting for some decent hotel promos to come up that go past September 30th (decent room a big deal to us)...

Just a head's up in case it helps anyone - Virgin's website has some really well priced Premium Economy upgrades today, for MAN - LV. The date I was searching was 21st August; not sure if other dates are included, but I saw them for £85.50 pp (return) on the Virgin Atlantic website, and £12.51!! pp on Virgin Holidays, outbound only.

How do you see those? Do you have to have already booked an economy flight??

its through Virgin Holidays, if you look at a holiday departing to Vegas on 21st August, before confirming the booking, in the flight option it gives you the option of upgrading to PE for £12.25 or Upper Class £3616.91

do you have to book a package including hotel? I've always found VH to be expensive for flight+hotel bookings though it's been awhile since I looked they always seemed to effectively double the hotel cost from what I could get booking direct...but that's a crazy deal for a PE upgrade if flight only was an option.

Oh right thanks - it may be negated by their inflated prices. I will definitely check it out though!
