£1400 for both of us, including taxes but not resort fees. That's for the 1 bedroom Terrace suite with fountain view, so a few steps up the upgrade ladder.

I had a quick look at mykindatravel but it looks like they only do packages, not hotel only. We've booked our flights with Virgin Atlantic already as I got some great reward seats with my airmiles. Thanks, though.

ah no worries,though shooting them an email may be of use?
they always seemed to do well for me and well worth mentioning them.
Seems a really few steps up the upgrade ladder indeed!

Kind regards

Hi everyone,

I know this is not flight or hotel related but I hope someone can advise.

I want to book a helicopter trip and would like recommendations of the best company to use. Is it better to book when we get there? There is a website called 'viator' who books trips like these at reasonable prices. Anyone know anything about the site - use or avoid?

All help is appreciated - thanks in advance!

The offers through Identity have been rubbish so far with the Cosmo, but then most of the gambling I did in their casino last time was on machines that excluded the Identity card being used.

You can still use your card in the machine to earn points - you just can't redeem any freeplay at those machines, I think.

Viator is fine. They are just a middle man who book you onto tours with the flight companies. Go direct and you may save their commission, and also find a discount code. We flew with Scenic Airlines to the GC airport.

We booked our wedding through Viator, had no issues at all and I'd happily use them again

160 days for us!

It's been ages since I've been to Vegas (5 years!) but I'm subtly trying to convince the OH that we need to revisit this year. Have been reading through the threads to catch up on what we've been missing

Just out of curiosity, has anyone used the Global Entry service? Is it worth it? I'm a bit nervous about the interview part!

159 for us so we will be out the same time as you. We are staying for 6 nights at the Wynn Encore flying from Edinburgh.

Have half my spending money for our May trip spare, so decided to purchase $ at 1.406 with TC.
