Virgin shifting from gatwick to Heathrow for their direct Vegas service from march 2019

Good to have another option (and the clubhouse!)

That's interesting. We always flew VS to Vegas but when BA started going from LHR we switched to them.
The thing is though, BA is much easier to get status with and it's worth something. Silver gets you lounge,free choice of seats,priority boarding, additional points.

You would have to be Gold or traveling Upper with VS to get most of that stuff.

And now that the Vegas flight goes from T3 status gets you the CX lounge which is nearly as good as the VS Clubhouse.

We had our bags not turn up after a flight out to Vegas once.
When asking about the luggage at the airline desk..Delta ..they said as soon as it arrived they would deliver to our hotel room.
It was delivered next day to our room.
Dont think you should have had to make a trip back to the airport for It Stuie...think Id be having a moan to someone about that.

hi all,
Had to collect bags, as I was told bags would be delivered to room by 5pm... at 5:30pm, I called and was told, it will be delivered by midnight or the following day! hence me going to get it myself!


Gambling sucks! Chased my loses last night, and blew through $2k .... I was in proper Clark Griswold mode (Vegas vacation) last night, not good!! think I am going to try and not gamble today! (seeing Penn & Teller later)

Stuie thanks for the report.

I did warn you re the heat on those BA 747.

Once was also enough for us

I think they rotate the 744's and 777's which are a nice plane, I like them

Hello all! Hope everyone is well.

Been with my new girlfriend a year now. I can still say it's new right? Need her to experience Vegas and I'm looking at going in October so I can get us tickets to the Drake and Migos gig at MGM. Don't suppose we have many Drake and Migos fans on this board?

Cosmo stopped my offers despite me staying their twice when they revamped their system about 18 months ago. Wynn/Encore are still as regular as ever though. (3 Nights and $225 Resort Credit). I'm thinking of using that comp Tuesday to Thursday, preferred rate Friday/Saturday and then treating us to a Cosmo suite Sunday/Monday. I'll email in advance and see if Cosmo want to help me out.

My issue is I want to go 2nd October and the current Wynn offer ends 2nd October. They won't discuss it by email and I'm not motivated enough to call them just yet but I will soon.

Going to get us both hooked up to MyVegas and see what we can do in that period. I won't have my usual budget so going to use it as an excuse to do lots of things I didn't do the last couple of times.
