    Yes that is correct, silver member is 15 days i believe

    Obviously if there are people in your party who arent flying members you can refer them for some extra miles when they join. If no one is signed up send me a pm and i will refer you :)

    And if your ticket is UC or PE then you can get double miles and extra tier points by registering here for the Virgin promo.

    You have to fly before 1st Sept.

    Today's the day! 1335 from SFO to Vegas!!!!
    So when we grab a cab at the airport we tell the driver NOT to take the tunnel, right? How much should a cab be, excluding tip, to the Venetian, roughly?

    Someone was asking about Lionel Richie the other week. We say the show on 4th May and it was very good.

    We were at the side of the theatre in the cheap seats but I don't think there's a bad seat in Axis theatre to be honest. There were big screens up at each side and the centre so you got a great close up of the action even if you were at the back. He sang all his hits and some Commodores hits too.

    We both really enjoyed it.

    That was me, thanks Pebbles!

    We are going to see him tomorrow night.

    Without the tip about $25 according to the taxi fare finder.

    Don't be aggressive about not taking the tunnel though, may even be better to ask to go via paradise rd

    Edit
    Having said that I think the tunnel may be paradise south whereas you want to go north

    Ie be positive rather than negative,

    No...north.

    sorry i just confused you.

    Its just I have read on some forums the drivers can get nasty if you just say No tunnel, as if you know better than them.

    As you dont know where you are going it may be best to ask if they can avoid the tunnel please.

    wish I hadnt started this :(

    bear in mind its not the end of the world if they do use the tunnel and I15(it may be quicker) and would be about $40
