Gutted about that, made at least one visit there during my last few trips.

Apparently a few business in the same area have closed suddenly in the last month or so, leading to speculation that something was afoot in that area, we will see.

Arrived yesterday, good flight with BA, new club seat was great. Checked in to room on app before flight but hold payment didn’t go through but no queue when we arrived. 

Stu - One bed penthouse on the 60th floor, room is lovely. Managed to stay up till 2am drinks service ok at Luxor and Mandalay

We had the same probably at Delano when checking in via the app... I wonder if it's an MB thing, or a UK resident thing through the MGM app on general.

Hi, I'm hoping to book my trip with Expedia from Manchester to Vegas soon and I was wondering what the best flight connection would be. I'm going around September 2023.

For example, we could stop in New York with 1 hour 35 minute stay.

Or we could stop in Atlanta with a 1 hour 54 minutes stay.

Another option is to stop in Zurich with a 2 hours stay.

I don't know much about these airports and was wondering if we would need to go through all the queues when landing and if that timescale is too tight. I'm a UK national so I assume I would need to go through a process and maybe even check in our big luggage on the next flight?

There a few airline options, Air France operated by Virgin. KLM operated by Virgin. Delta operated by Virgin.

I have no clue what is my best option really and how long it may take to go through checks in our stopover. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

When are you planning to go? Virgin resume direct flights next Summer which you can book from later this month I believe.

Thanks, I'd heard about this but sadly I don't want to wait that long really and want to go around September time this year.
