    Sinner if you mean the 34000 points breakfast/lunch buffet that does require a 1 night minimum stay
    The terms and conditions for each reward are displayed if you click on them

    hi
    and it seems you are right!! i always assumed(wrongly) that the buffets were pretty much buy if you have enough points sorta deal!
    i always thought the only items that required a 1 night stay were the comped rooms and the freeplay rewards!!

    I've got the bubble there and back, and my preferred PE seats (last row). I was surprised, considering how many months ago the flights would have been released before I booked. :)

    I'm watching like a hawk though as VA have a bad habit of changing the aircraft a few months before departure and not informing you, and randomly allocating you a seat. I got caught out last trip when I'd booked the front two Upper Class seats on the 747, and then they switched to an Airbus. I happened to spot it when I logged into my Virgin account, and I managed to get the second and third from the front, but the people who ended up next to us were really put out that they hadn't got the seats they'd booked.

    Yep, already had all the flight times changed :D
  • if the mlife reward your looking at has a key on the reward picture that means it requires a stay in one of the groups hotels to get the reward.
  • Hi. Can anyone advise about Canyon helicopter tour. I know all about not the real canyon stuff. We just want a West Rim tour and landing.

    We've booked via virgin and their conciage service say we can do it for about $450 for sunrise champagne breakfast with maverick.

    Other posts suggest you can do it around the £200 but haven't found that info myself. And is it best to book in advance or wait and find an offer whilst in Vegas

    Any help/advice welcome.

    We are booked to get married at chapel of the flowers on April 10th too. Not relevant just thought I'd share lol
  • Thank you that is the 1 I had been aiming for .
    Gc -Feb £87.25/ £90

    Thank you to all who post !!
    Such Fun !!!:j

    We're going next month and have booked a tour through these:

    I obviously can't recommend them but they seem to be priced well and get good reviews on Trip Advisor.

    Hey all,
    I was in London for the weekend, so decided to use some of our myVegas points for the Hippodrome Casino in Lec Square...
    Fair play, easy peasy to sort out...

    We had the Super Odds Chips (£75 worth), as terms state you can only use 2 rewards at Hippo in the same day.....
    Got the chips, wife lost, I turned my £75 free chips into £75 real chips :):) and then more fun throughout the night = I left very happy!! :D:D

    So yeah, not a bad deal using LP's...

    check https://www.travelzoo.com and make sure you look at the US site.
    Just look for deals in Las Vegas and you'll see helicopter tour options.
