    Hi guys,

    Looking for some pricing on a Las Vegas hotel, specifically...

    THREE ROOMS at the Luxor hotel (Pyramid Deluxe room, ideally king non-smoking), one adult per room, on a room only basis. Dates are 09/05/08 to 11/05/08 (2 night) AND 13/05/08 to 15/05/08 (another two nights).

    Best quote to date is booking direct at Luxor.com, with a total cost of $528.06 (£272.91 after currency conversions, card fees, etc.).

    No flights required.

    Any help?

    Thanks in advance :)
