    Good Morning.

    I'm just starting to look at options for a vegas trip and I'm wondering if anyone can beat this quote:

    Quote $1622
    Quote from LasVegas.com
    2 adults
    Flying to/from Manchester
    10 days - 5th Feb to 15th Feb
    Downtown Grand Casino and Hotel

    Screen_Shot_2017-10-03_at_04.06.33.png

    We're relaxed about dates. It has to be after the 2nd Feb and can be for 10-14 nights. Also happy to fly to/from London if it's easier.

    Quoted flights are around 14 hours. Happy to go slower, but no more than 20 hours.

    Not committed to a specific hotel but it needs to be either on the strip or on/near Fremont St (downtown) and we don't care about a casino or parking.

    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.
