Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2016

Winter Jasmine-I'm so sorry I cannot help, but wanted to know did all of those prices come from your Mlife offers? I ask, as my Signature rental for 15 nights was £1,700.00ish for 15 nights in a 1 bed penthouse apartment including all resort fees ect for the 4 of us. With the pound doing somersaults it's now over £1,900.00 and I'm starting to look for cheaper options. Problem is we are out there from 24th July -8th August and there seems to be quite a few conventions on at that time, not to mention the price goes sky high once I add 4 people . Are the prices you have for 2? All the rooms I'm seeing are more than my signature rental. Also the company charge 10% for cancellations, so I have to take that into account to. Thanks.

Hi

A quick question, visiting Vegas in August and I need to give a contact number to our Grand Canyon tour company. Do I type in my normal mobile number or put the UK area code in front of it, even thought they will be ringing me from the US and I will be in the US also?

Thanks

Stick with WestJet, so u can fill us in! Its a new route starting with them, so it should be nice new stuff hopefully from here to Canada....

I was gonna book with them last year, as the Gatwick-Toronto-LV route was looking good at £550..... I didn't book in the end as I left it too long and the baggage stuff changed, adding £100 extra to the flight......
Reviews about them as a whole are quite good, so the long-haul from Gatwick into Canada should be good!
Or at least u will be telling us all that when u go from next month, onwards, etc.....

*** GATWICK PARKING ***
Anyone help with some hidden gems ? Need to park for 2 weeks, but for some bizarre reason, its costing £140 + to park, which is odd, real odd!!
So if anyone knows of drive-way parking, or just good priced places to park, I'm all ears!

Hi Stuie , have you tried the 'Free if' guarantee from holiday extras? If you find your parking cheaper after you book it with them, you get it free. You have to send a screen shot of like for like prices, company, terms and conditions. They refund the money after you used it. May be worth comparing . I used it for free lounges and this year we will be staying at the Gatwick Hilton the night before our flight and brekkie in the morning for free

Hi, I always use the hotel number for back up. But you can just put your mobile and UK code in front of it, that's what I do Can I ask who your going with? I've yet to decide mine

Hi, no not all from MLife, I checked all the decent looking offers on Smarter Vegas. The code 'Insider' was what I used to get the Flamingo and PH prices. There are quite a few conventions when we're there too and I was starting to get a bit twitchy about booking!

Yep, prices are for two of us sharing a king room, they were a couple of dollars more for two queens

Thank you I'll have a look. It's with a heavy heart I may not go to the Signature, but your hardly ever in your room anyway, so I need a back up in case the rate goes even further down a slippery slope.:)

most places will charge a per person per night surcharge for more than 2 people, so sometimes it's not that much more for 2 rooms - just depending on the hotel/rate per night...though now with resort fees being so stupid, maybe it's not as good an option as it used to be to spread out a bit.

Thanks Ferf, this is the problem I'm finding-the resort fees! My Signature rental is throw owners at Signature and includes all resort fees ect. Taking into account resort fees and my cancellation charge, if I do so, I'm not much better off unless I'm looking at the Stratosphere so far. Since I'm not driving, that may not be viable staying that far north. I'm still searching

Have decided to use Grand Canyon Tour Company - South Rim Tour.
We used them once before and had a great (all you can eat) buffet lunch at Grand Canyon railway stop in Williams, Arizona. :beer: All the other tours seem to just offer meal vouchers for when you get to the Canyon, a bit busy I would imagine when all the tours arrive!

Thank you. I've been umming and ahhing about whether to do it or not and I've decided we will. Glad to hear you enjoyed it using them before, that's reassuring
