    Not Vegas but many on here may have walked through the giant redwood near yosemite.

    it has fallen in a storm, we have some pics of us when my son was 6 walking through it and holding the biggest fir cone we have ever seen

    I have tried to plan the hotels in a logical order grouping then on location but have I missed anything? Am I being too ambitious? I know in reality I might not get every single hotel done but i'd like to try. Anything I miss is always an excuse for another trip. :-)
    TIA.

    The order is pretty logical, though I might switch the Bellagio meal to the Friday if it were me. It's a lot handier to get to from Caesars/Paris than MGM and NYNY. Don't underestimate the size of the hotels, which means that even the ones "close" to one another can take ages to get to. :)

  • hey everyone, on Virgin Atlantic flights (or any others for that matter!), are the extra leg room seats you can book, worth it?

    i'm not talking about the exit rows, but the handful of other seats you can purchase which give "an extra 3 inches of leg room", in this case on an A330.

    i'm thinking if we have to pay £30pp to reserve seats together anyway (which we would do), then an extra £10pp for the extra room is a no-brainer?

    hi
    do you sorta mean the premuim economy sorta seats?
    if so-When we went on our last trip we upgraded to the premuim economy seats with united and i believe we got 3" more leg room and in looking back i dont think it was worth it for us. though we are both under 6 foot tall, i would think if someone was over 6 foot tall it would be a benefit.

    I ve looked(and have wanted to fly virgin) for a while and i see they have something called *seat plus*(or something similar) that if you are flying economy, you can *buy* the 3rd seat at a much reduced rate.
    When we were returning home from our last trip, my brother and I had our best flight(weird i know, returning home) but we had the 3seats for the 2 of us-so in theory 1 and a bit seats each!!
    plus we got a look around the cockpit before take off which was fun! hope this helps!!

    On a side note, is anyone finding any decent deals for vegas this year?
    On researching a solo trip for august(around the 4th for a week) i am finding a week in vegas for around £1400 for just myself flying economy.
    I have looked at Mlife and tried pricing up there but only get a memebrs discount and dont think its much different if any different from expedia.
    i have tried pricing a flight and hotel together, seperately but with no luck.
    I recall going with thomas cook for under a £1000 pp in 2014 but they seem exspensive when checking

    any advice most welcomed !!

    Less than £1 per hour, so why not?

    Just over £1 an hour �� but yep I think you're right.

    Bobbyhibs - it's not premium economy, on the A330 there are about 6 rows behind the first exit row which offer 3" more at £40. It was a new one on me ☺️

    I'm certainly not finding any deals for the Vdara or Cosmopolitan for our April trip ☹️ and have been tracking for a few months.
