We booked through hotels.com so ours is all gambling too was this at aria?

I would ask the night before, if you don't get anything off ask to speak to a host.

In comparison to all the other mlife hotels we have had comps from (Monte Carlo, Mirage, Luxor, NYNY) we found Aria to be the most stingy, we were grateful for something as we also had a F&B offer on our room rate

i appreciate it's all a bit subjective, but does £633pp sound a good deal for direct flights, flying LHR-WAS, LAS-LGW in April 2017 - economy with Virgin?

Looking at doing a 2-stop trip, few nights in WAS, then a few nights in LAS

would only consider direct flights to/from home as it'd be a broken up trip anyway.

That looks a bit steep to me, but I'm cheap.

i suppose i'm comparing it to a straight direct return LGW-LAS, which would usually be the thick end of £700...

We haven't paid more than £600 for a direct flight from Manchester since Virgin started their service from there. Maybe we've been lucky. I think £585 was the most expensive. The one earlier this year was £530.

If its during the school holidays in april then i would say that is cheap and a great deal!

I've not seen them that low from Gatwick for a couple of years ... not at times we' be able to go anyway (usually Apr or Sept)
