They said I can add a bag when I do the online check in however I think I will take your advice and make the enquiry

We are more then happy with the price and will go without luggage and just cabin bags if we need too

Resort fees arent included but we have allowed for them

I am more then happy with the deal and am now counting down the days

Its a good price but I would check the baggage situation, did yiu book with virgin holidays.


My only negative would be 4 nights. It takes me 2 days/nights to get over the tiredness/jetlag. I did 4 nights once, never again

You would know if your on Virgin Lite, says on your booking (mine is showing as economy classic)!!!
Do the online chat with Virgin to check costs of pre-booked bag vs at airport...!!! u want to keep it MSE !!

Handy info about direct flights though in Feb...!!! ; Got around 14 guys I gotta plan for, so keeping flights down low = winner!!!

Although, my plan is to let them lot fly in economy, and I will hopefully have a spare 100k miles so I can fly upper class (just got the new VA Rewards+ credit card, so 100k a year is possible in points....
I already have 2 free Prem upgrades to use next year ! : D

Ideally I would have gone for longer but my friend is leaving her young daughters behind and didn't want to be gone too long when the return flight is overnight

4 nights was the absolute minimum I was prepared to go for but yes it would have been nice to have gone for slightly longer

NEXT TIME as I'm told the first time is never the last

We booked with expedia , I will be checking the luggage situation out - its not a deal breaker for 4 nights , we can manage

I wonder if other resorts that offer free parking are getting miffed with those that charge. We got charged $10 for a couple of hours when we parked in Mandalay Bay. We ended up, from then on, parking in Tropicana if we wandered down that section of the Strip. Lots of others were doing it too.
Hopefully, if the car park charges go, maybe they'll start reducing the rip off resort fees (I'm sure there is a senator who is campaigning against them as well)
Speaking of MGM....

I have also parked in the Trop for free and walked across the road but on return saw security having serious words with someone who was just about to leave their car and made them move, also signs about fines and towing so not sure its worth it anymore


I can see MGMs point, was it really their fault it happened

We did it a few times, and even asked a security fella if it was ok to park there, and they said it was fine. I think it was because we walked along the side of those apartments type rooms and it looked like we were going into the casino. Whereas we went over to Excalibur, pottered around that area, and then went into Tropicana.
They might be getting wise to it all now. Still can't blame folk for trying though. That car park money is better spent/wasted on Megabucks

Obviously the victims should sue the shooter but as I assume he has no money they go after the $$$$$$$$$

In reality they should sue the NRA.

Or just get over it as they live in the Good 'ol USA where any nutter is allowed-nay encouraged- to carry a gun "For self defense" :cool:
