You can select your seat as soon as you book, but if you're flying economy it will cost from £25 each to do it. It's free in PE and UC. I think the charges are also waived if you have Gold status in the Flying Club. Economy seats can only be selected free once check-in opens, 24 hours before the flight.

I think if you are a member of flying club - even red - you can select economy seats 72 hours before - it's not much better, but it's something.

found the reference I was thinking of...since it's free to join, may as well.

Nice to see some two night hotel room rewards back on My Vegas, currently only dates to the end of April but here's hoping they extend them. It seems that not everyone can see them (possibly related to chip purchases) but worth a look if you've got a trip booked soon. Time for me to start playing again I suppose!

Get a referral and I think you both get bonus Flying club miles.

Does anyone have any experiences with Gun Ranges in Vegas? I'm looking for some info/recommendations.

Thanks!

I use the Gun Store on Tropicana each year..
No idea what the other ones are like...
Recommend: Whichever range you use, and you see there 'Deals' , do your maths before you sign up to the deal... Sometimes you can save a few bucks by manually choosing, etc....

I do the same each time, Colt 1911, MP5 (jammy ) and M16...
.223 rounds cost more, 9mm cheaper!

We go to the Gun Club? A proper club near Boulder. Outdoor shooting with sniper rifles and sweet shooting.

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

Take the megabus to LA. That's we're doing and fares start at $1. The coaches are very clean comfy. They leave from the south strip bus terminal, just past Mandalay Bay: )

How much does that usually cost? I've been looking at basic packages which sound similar and cost around $150
