    The Board (self catering/half board etc): ROOM ONLY ( USA)
    Any specific requirements: NONE
    Is an in-flight meal included: NOT SURE

    We are pretty flexible in our dates in May .but as there are no direct flights out of belfast dublin would suit us best unless we can get a flight from the Uk cheaper bearing in mind we will need to stay in a hotel near airport the night before.
    The NY NY was the cheapest hoyel again but we would love Ceasars palace or similar if we could get a good deal.def need to be on the strip. I have read all the las vegas threads but not sure how to go it alone.


    Can Anyone give me any advise here ?
