Thought they were supposed to be encouraging folk to come back. Outrageous.

hi
and thanks for the info stuieuk34, i thought it was that it was 11months, but wasn't too sure.
at the moment  I am in  the planning stage .
at the moment sorta looking at mid april 13-20th april, lhr-vegas direct with virgin prem economy.,coming in at £682 (can get a ba flight down to heathrow via ba, with laggage  for about £35 if i recall)
has anyone  used virgin  prem econ? good-bad?
If i then booked  via either Mlife-smartervegas  would i  be getting Mlife points-tier credits like instantly? i guess  when i looked it was  around $1000  for a  grand king room though going solo(mgm grand)....$1000x 25...would get me upto pearl status,(gotta love the buffet line  pass!)
Just not seeing  any comps  via Mlife at the moment,though i do understand it has been shut, was hoping they d maybe offer something from jan next year! lol
 was hoping to do my flights...sorta wait to see if I did get any comps via mlife..maybe wait   a few weeks,if not search for the  best..ok cheapest deal about ! and go with whomever was cheapest/value for money.
any advice most welcome

I'm too at the start of the planning stage ;
1 Persuade OH that we want to go back to Vegas - seems to be working so far judging by the You tube videos we are watching.
2 Not booking anything until ESTA's are open to visitors again.
3 Looking at indirect from Dublin or direct from LHR now that it seems all direct flights from MAN have gone.
4 Mlife is offering me 4 nights free at either Luxor or Excalibur with just those nasty resort fees to pay.(With $100 resort credit and $100 Freeplay). We have stayed at both before and would not hesitate to return.
5 OH also has Mlife card and she is getting 3 nights offer (She always forgets to put her card in the slots LOL) - maybe try to join these together (if that's possible?).
6 ..And for now that's as far as I have got...

Really sorry but I can't be bothered reading the entire thread and the search function is worse than useless. Myself and the the important one are going in November (hopefully, it's looking good so far) and want to do the Canyon.

Does anyone have recommendations as to the best company to use for a tour? I would love to do a helicopter tour and am more concerned with, as our American cousins would say, bang per buck than headline price. In other words which is the best way to see a big hole without a big hole in the finances?

Take it out of the resort fee, they charge enough.
Btw, I've not watched them yet, but I've seen a few news clip descriptions on YT that says Vegas is opening on the 4th June.

I have had email from Califonia (downtown) and Caesers  saying they are opening on june 4th ( my trip is Aug 23rd), I am 90% that I am going to postpone, there are far to many restrictions in place, coupled with the fact we cant enter the US yet

yeah, gonna be weird playing blackjack surrounded by perspex !!     
I wonder if Laughlin will just put place cards on the tables to say "no more than 3 per table" !  cheaper than perspex!
i rotored us in for 2 nights in Laughlin (end Sep), so will be interesting to see how this all pans out....
and yes, sounding confident, travel for us brits to the US should be OK in Sep onwards, probably even august.....

Some 'elf & safety rules from the Caesar's themselves.

Looks like you will have to ask for tomato sauce & vinegar if you go to eat.
No mention of being surrounded by perspex if you want to play cards either
