When we go in March we are taking 3 of the kids (3 oldest) with us. They are 26,23 and 21. We fly on 22/3 and they fly out on 28/03 - we all fly home on 04/04. I will take the other kids when the youngest reaches 21.


Have never even thought about taking any of our under 21s with us as all of our main activities revolve around drinking and gambling

So a lesson to show that booking 'free cancellation' rooms can be worthwhile! Here's a timeline of savings...

Prices are for 3 nights (Fri, Sat, Sun) in Palazzo Luxury 1 King suite (before resort fees)

£531 - best price available (via expedia)
£517 - improved price from expedia
£438 - new listing from expedia (no cancellation)
£366 - 3for2 offer from Palazzo (no cancellation), just for signing up

over £160 saved, all over the last 11 days! really happy with that

Another one for a first trip to Vegas. It's my 60th birthday in April so going for a week, mainly to see Donny and Marie before they finish their run later this year.

Am looking everywhere for things to do, special offers, freebies, helicopter rides to see the Grand Canyon - everything - in a week !! We will need a month to get over it all

BUT I have a question. I am getting different answers so thought the best place to get a good solid answer is here

Anyway, the question rolling round in my head is about visas. Do we need a visa ? Some places say yes, others say no.

What is the right answer, please.

Have a read of http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/esta-usa-visa, it should answer your queries regarding a visa:)

You will need an ESTA. There will be a link to the correct website on the first page. It costs $14 per person. I'm not sure what esta stands for, but it is the visa waiver program. I did my dad's yesterday. He's coming with us next trip. It will be his first since my mum died.

Ooh....sounds nice!

Our first three nights (Thurs, Fri, Sat) are coming out at £372 - although that's before tax and resort fees. Still, am tempted!

And with today's news, do you have a dual nationality passport or connections with one of Trump's listed nations?!

I'm going to assume not, in which case you just need to apply for an ESTA... Full details on the front page of this thread

Is that with their "Third night's on us" offer?

Sure is - thanks for posting about it. Oddly the next three nights (Sun, Mon, Tues) is more expensive.

Will do some price comparisons tonight but seriously considering the Palazzo
