Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2016

Lovetotravel

I'm checking out of the Golden Nugget in a few hours and am going to chance my arm with getting my resort fees comped, despite not gambling much! Lol

Do I call the players club? Or ask at checkout?
Thanks

and i hope your dad knows what to expect,its vegas after all! when was your deal for date wise?

Mum and Dad used to come to Las Vegas with us regularly, so he knows what to expect. He's been 5 or 6 times before, and will be interested in all the changes since 2009 when they were last there.

We arrive 30 March 2017 and leave 14 May 2017. There were quite a few cheap flights in that time frame, We usually do about 6 weeks, so this one worked out well for us.

I was gonna ask about when airlines do there sales and will check virgin, though sadly, being in edinburgh the *closest* direct flight from us is glasgow( just the hassle of getting through there and then on the way back after a 10hours flight) so i have sorta though about going down to london and getting a direct flight there!

We live about 2 1/2 hours away from the nearest airport, so are used to having to travel before and after a flight.

when do other airlines do there sales? or is it just one of these things that pop up now and again?

kind regards

Can't help with specific dates of sales, sorry. Just sign up for emails for the various airlines and/or travel companies, and you will get an email if anyone is having a sale.

Just booked another trip. Virgin sale made me do it. Could possibly get direct flights cheaper than £516 each, but we are happy with it. My dad will be coming with us, (his first time since mum died) so the convenience of direct flights is worth it.

that will be great for all of you.

how did you get £516, i cant find any below £600, did you use any miles

if i put in your dates they are £800 each

Just a straight money fare.
I just looked again and the return flight we booked isn't there. It was £199 or thereabouts. Must have got lucky. I only booked dads flight about 10 am today

Just had another look on the desktop and it's there but has gone up to £559 for our dates.

We were lucky with that price I think.

Still really odd , it's £800 when I put in those dates, could have been tempted although don't really want to go until a bit later, maybe end of May beginning of june

Yes pennylane. We fly from Manchester. That's far enough to travel for us.

Driving down there this afternoon to drop the oh off. That's 5 hours round trip.
