Hi
planning to take my partner to vegas for her 40th birthday hopefully around sept time. Is it better to be booking it now or waiting last minute to get a better deal ?? possibly might want to do a twin centre holiday anyone got any suggestions here. looked at the big name websites does anyone know of any others that i should try ?? thanks for your help

Not sure if the post is supposed to be on this thread as im not replying to previous discussion

hi there
My brother and i have booked a twin city holiday ,we are doing new york(3 nights) and vegas for 11nights and we used mykindatravel.
We has looked at doing this via thomas cook and checked mykindatravel and we saved £100 EACH,not a massive saving but still a saving.
A bit of advice about booking last minute holiday(to the usa) but remeber to have the esta (theres info on page 1 of the thread about it)Just incase this is your firsttime going to the usa!
have fun

Can anyone please point me in the direction of any vouchers for either of the shopping outlets in Las Vegas. We will be going to one of them, and if we can save any money, so much the better.

If you have an AA membership card then you present that in the information centre to receive the coupon book too. It also works in Town Square Las Vegas, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort!& Casino, the Forum Shops at Caesars, Galleria at Sunset, Las Vegas PremiumOutlets, Las Vegas Outlet Center, Fashion Show, Grand Canal Shoppes

If you sign up online with Premium outlets you can usually print off some vouchers before you go.
I tend to know which shops I'm likely to look in or buy something from and just print what I might need.

Thank you SO MUCH Chyna for posting that website. I wondered how everyone got such amazing deals (won't lie, I thought I was just being thick so didn't ask how you all did it!) and now everything makes sense.

We're also thinking of getting married while we're there, and I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations of venues? I'm pretty sweet on Excalibur's set up, but OH and I are looking properly at things over the weekend to decide so any suggestions would be awesome

TIA!

We are going to use the Tuscany suites's chapel - very reasonable, and won't have the foot traffic of a busy hotel to dodge. I love their little balcony just off the altar for photos after too as well as lovely grounds for more photos. http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/referenceguide-weddingdetail.cfm?id=66

I didn't fancy the downtown wedding places as although they are pretty inside you step out into a fairly grotty area afterwards. Tuscany is behind the Flamingo so just off Strip rather than Downtown.

One of the contributors here did kindly video the chapel at the Tuscany for me (can't find the link right now) and it does look like the photos

Youtube is great for seeing what the chapels are really like

Another spin on starting in Stockholm -this one is direct STO LAS though

Heres a wedding pic from 2011...
We went for the cheap option, outdoor, and basic to the point it did what we wanted....
Limo to and from the place, so didn't get to see much outside the place!
Think it was like $325 for the wedding & limo at 5pm, paid $90 to wedding guy + $20 tip to limo guy (had a 14 seater ford expedition limo)







And no, I didn't wee myself next to the limo !!
