We're still booked for July at the moment. Holding out a bit of hope that US change to the green list on the next update but the doubts are lingering. It's annoying not knowing whether to book things.

i am waiting for VA to cancel my 2nd June flight,  (airmiles), am then gonna book for 21st July, but hoping they move my flight without wanting to charge 40k miles as its peak season flying!

For what it's worth, these are the dates when the Raiders will be playing at home (announced yesterday)... So likely to see hotels hiking prices on these weekends, assuming that sporting events will be open to the public by then.

Oct. 10 vs. Bears 4:05 p.m. ET

Had our flight in May canceled by Virgin. Choice of either a refund or voucher with £350 added to the value per ticket because we were flying Upper. Good until April 2023. Took the latter

Glad you’re sorted. That was a cash ticket presumably then? 🤔

We started to think there might be a possibility of going in September, but haven't made any plans. It's not looking great again. Quite an uptick in cases now that some restrictions have been released and of course still a large part of the working population aren't vaccinated so things don't look quite as promising as Boris had said a few months back! Fingers crossed things improve and we can get back to Vegas at some point, safely.

Cancelled our September flights yesterday.
We had only paid taxes of £800 for both tickets, with the return being in upper class, so shame to cancel.
Lost £60 for cancelling, but glad we’ve done it now, and stop us thinking about trips away any time soon.

i had our June VA airmile PE seats moved to 21st July, best of all, didnt cost an additional 40k in points (peak season flight), as VA are/were going to cancel our booking tomorrow anyway,  , so am guess  so fingers crossed i get my ribs & wings fix in late july!
Still got my Sep trip to look forward too as well, fingers crossed for everyones sake!

Yes cash tickets. Only paid £1K each in the sale back in December. Just been informed that it's £400 added to each ticket not £350

We'll be looking to book for the Eagles game. 
Noticed that Vegas is mask free if you are fully vaccinated. Having my second tomorrow
