We stopped there on our way to Laughlin last summer Ferf. We literally took a few pictures of London Bridge and then went in in and out burger before we carried on our way! To be honest it was so hot we couldn't wait to get back in the car with the air con!!

I did notice that there is an In and Out in Lake Havasu. Our friend suggested a trip on the ferry to the CA side might be nice, too...if it works out with other timings we may do it - it would be nice to try a new(ish - as we have been to Laughlin and Oatman so the bulk of the drive will be old ground for us) day-trip.

Morning all.
Me and the missus booked a flight to Vegas flying from Dublin via Gatwick.
Any way we can get out of flying from Dublin and back to Dublin on the way back?
I have resigned myself to having to fly to Dublin and I don't need an excuse to spend a day in Dublin before flying :beer: but if there's a way round it that'd be swell.
Flying to Dublin with Air Lingus and to Vegas with Virgin.

Thanks for your help.

You have to take your outbound flight from Dublin, otherwise you risk the rest of the ticket being cancelled.

You need to ensure your bags are only checked to Gatwick if you do decide to miss the last leg - LGW-DUB.
Or have hand luggage only.

Hey guys, got my hotel stuff 90% sorted!
3 Nights comp in Mirage
1 Night myVegas in Mirage (wifey Account)
1 Night - NOT BOOKED.... Unsure if to do Mirage or Monte C
3 Nights Host comp in Monaco Suite Monte Carlo
2 Nights in Luxor Tower room @ $23 per night (wifey Mlife)
1 Night comp in Luxor Tower room (wifey Mlife) + $50 credit
3 Nights comp in Luxor Tower Suite + $50 credit

Although its the same 3 hotels as last year, we like all 3 a lot...
MC for gambling + pool is OK
Luxor - we like the pool you pay to use, bit more private
Mirage - maaaaaaasive pool, its great!

Given the 72hr rule between comps, think I got this one sorted ok! Was a shame to pass on the Bellagio offer, but hey ho!
Battle plan will be to try for the upgrade in Mirage, but no biggy if it don't work, as nice rooms as standard anyway...
Will work a good line to get the wifes 3 nights upgraded to the tower suite in Lux so we don't have to change rooms at all......

As Hannibal Smith used to say: "I love it when a plan comes together!"
Total expenditure so far (exclu Resort fee, as try to get those removed anyway):
£460 (that's flights + dub carhire + B&B + Vegas hotels)
Good stuff! Now to watch the weekly car hire prices!

Are there any tricks to getting hotel rooms cheaper in Vegas? Any sites with discount codes etc? I've 'liked' certain hotels on Facebook to make sure I don't miss out on any promotions etc. Any other tips to saving a few quid?
