Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2016

I have not booked it as I am probably going to cancel my Aria booking.


I have also / double booked MGM Signature for the same dates - paid in full via hotels.com incase the £/$ takes a battering before our May trip.


Unfortunately booking via hotels.com does not give you the reference number need to book the free tickets.

I've just managed to book 2 free tickets for blue man group.

We have a 2 night myvegas reward room booked for late May.
I had to mess around trying the dates given,and the times.
Then,as stuie says it didn't let me book even though I put all details in.
But I just clicked on confirm booking again,and it gave me the confirmation of purchased tickets.

Not bad...2 cheap $39 a night myvegas rooms at Monte Carlo and 2 free show tickets for blue man group.

I got it to work in the end !!
How ?
I used my wifes email address, and her name for the booking....
how bizarre!

I remember last year, through the same promo, I had to use my wifes email, as using my Hotmail addy (linked with my bookings and mlife), it never liked it...
I was just looking at the receipts from last year, so figured I would try using her name.. Sweeeeeeeeeeet! Lets hope I don't fall asleep again this year!

Note:
The tickets you get are the worst seats in the house.
TIP: Turn up late, few minutes after the show has started, they might put you in better seats (we found out by turning up late for Jabba's and Love last year)

Just checked the seat map for Luxor,and the tickets are for front row.
Last two seats to the side,but still front row.
It gave me section 103 seats 41-42.....I assumed they would be right at the back,but no,front row seats for free.Result.

Does anyone have any experience flying with Thomas cook? I was wondering how much it would cost to reserve seats, can't find it on the website and online booking management hasn't been made available yet.

TC seat selection (not exit) was £20 per person per flight when I booked ours last year. Just do a dummy booking on line to find out for definite.

Free show tickets if it works for you.
My direct Aria 3 day booking just provides Blue Man Group, but is worth trying.

Thanks, can book any of the cirque shows for my dates :beer:

Need to decide which one now!

Hey Guys
Super excited for my first visit to Vegas!I have a few questions for all lovely seasoned travellers, If you dont mind. Im staying at the Monte Carlo-Any particular rooms I should avoid? Or request? Im stay in Vegas for a few days and then doing LA, but I need to make my own way to LA. I dont drive-should I fly or take a coach?
Also I dont drive so taking a car is not a option. As this is a moneysaving site-I am on a budget, got some cheap flights tickets or really need to economise. I am not going to gamble more than maybe a £100, where should I go? As in casino wise?
Plus any recommendations on doing the Grand Cannon cheaply?
Sorry I know this is a lot of questions and I would really appreciate your help-It my visit trip to the States-so am a bit of a novice!
Thank you all

How long are you there for? If it's only a very short trip I would probably skip the Grand Canyon, there's so much to see and do in Vegas and visiting the GC will take up at least a day.

When are you going? We stayed at Monte Carlo last year, originally we had a room at the back which overlooked the arena construction site. I was fine but the work started around 3am and the noise woke my husband up so we asked to move. Think the work's due to be complete by April though

I personally don't think it matters where you gamble. Most people seem to find they feel 'at home' in some casinos more than others. Bellagio's one of my favourites but I like MC too.
