    you only need to be staying in an MGM property to redeem a reward with a key beside it. So this is usually if you see exactly the same buffet, but one for much lower points required with a key next to it.:)

    Morning guys!

    Cut a long story short, I've been made redundant (I might have a new job today) & split up with my GF of 5 years.

    My store is closing on Friday 20th, I've told the new company I can start work from December 1st.

    Which leaves me a nice little gap inbetween ;), I'm going to go away somewhere with some of my redundancy money...I'm thinking I want to go back to Vegas....

    I stayed in the Paris last time (2 years ago), I would like to go for 5 days I think, we went 6 last time and I felt it wasn't long enough but I've got to be sensible about this lol

    Can anyone help me find a cheapish deal...Last time I got the Paris plus indirect flights for £850 each in October half term.

    I can fly from November 21st, so flight from Manchester/Brum/London...flying out on 21/22/23/24 for 4 or 5 nights (1 person)...sorting the hotel is the easy bit, I've checked Kyack/Skyscanner but just wondered if anyone has an ace up their sleeve :D!!

    I also have 165k of coins on MyVegas that I've been saving up


    Edit *The story doesnt seem so short now lol*
    Halifax loan - 6800 - 198 DD a month
    Barclay card 0% - £2000 - £150 DD a month

    For decent flight prices, you typically need to make sure you do a saturday night. Also I think you may have to book 14 days in advance for some fare type (sales), so try to get it sorted ASAP :)

    The only exception would be the likes of the Thomas Cook deals that are mentioned (one popped up a few pages back I think)

    I was sorta thinking this, but could not remeber what the icon was ! so i best rmeeber the key icon beside it in future!
    and thanx for the feedback in the page back duchy, i thought that it was just a players card(i did honest!)

    so for the person looking for there buffet you need the free mlife card to put the buffet reward on !

    Have a look at Google Flights - you could fly Dublin Heathrow Vegas return on Saturday lunchtime for gbp350 return and add on cheap Ryanair to Dublin (possibly even fly out to Dublin on the Friday night after work from Manchester or Brum)

    Yes we regularly leave our !!!!!! cards in machines, but snagged the bungee cord things from the desk towards the end of last trip to stop us forgetting them again.
