Max Bet on Slot Machines = don't always pay!
Betting less = pays more (strange eh ?!! )

If you want a funny show to watch, I recommend Anthony Cools in Paris, I laughed my nuts off in there, hypnosis show, bloody great!
Wifey wanted to go on stage, but backed out last minute.

Thanks.

The only time I've played Max Bet was when I hit the button instead of the Repeat Bet button!

Thanks for the heads up on Anthony Cools. He's been at Paris for eons, but I've never fancied it. Will certainly bear it in mind now though. I think the funniest show I've seen was Vinnie Favorito when he was at Bill's Gambling Hall. Non-PC in the extreme and definitely not for the easily offended.

Hi All,

Been about 5 years since i last went to Vegas and looking to go again April 2020.

What is a decent direct flight price nowadays? (prices have gone up a lot)

Is it generally cheaper to book via a package website (expedia/lastminute) or book flight and hotels separate?


Thanks in advance.

ox-boy, what departure airport, how long for? You have recently missed a good BA sale with direct flight only prices from London for under £300 (hand luggage only) .

It can sometimes work out cheaper booking a package say with BA or Virgin than flights and hotels separately, pros and cons.

I prefer booking flights direct with the airline but you could get a little cheaper with the OTA's if you want to save. That sometimes comes with its own risk with the lesser known OTA's.

I came home with 75 cents!
Not quite the turn out i hoped for, but hey ho!

I did bring home a sun-tan, 8 jars of BBQ sauce and 10 bags of Xtra hot Cheeto's!

Yeah no coincidence that the max credit button is next to the repeat button, I've done that a few times.

£1.5K from DUB we would snap their hand off at that. (at the fizzy end)
Well you did ask

Flying from London and would be staying for 5 nights.

Any ideas when BA or other airlines will have future sales?

Ox-boy, I believe BA have a sale around Christmas time. Worth subscribing to their email alerts or frequent flyer scheme to receive notifications.

Just a note it often works cheaper covering a Saturday night in your travels.

BAs next sale will be in September ��
