Arrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! (not said in a pirate sounding voice either !        )

Virgin cancelled its July Vegas flights!!!!!!!    , so even if some kind of UK-US doorway opens up, it would be select airports !
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!
Hoping to hear some positive stuff on news later!

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.

Sept. 13 vs. Ravens 8:15 p.m. ET

Sept. 26 vs. Dolphins 4:05 p.m. ET

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

Oct. 24 vs. Eagles 4:05 p.m. ET

Nov. 14 vs. Chiefs 8:20 p.m. ET

Nov. 21 vs. Bengals 4:05 p.m. ET

Dec. 5 vs. Washington 4:05 p.m. ET

Dec. 26 vs. Broncos 4:25 p.m. ET

Jan. 9 vs. Chargers 4:25 p.m. ET

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

Just had a look, they're wanting $900 on the market!  Birds fans will outnumber Raiders fans if what the grapevine is telling me is correct.
 We're gonna take over Vegas!!

We've just had our flight home 23rd July cancelled   Still have a flight out to LA on 10th but we will be re-arranging it all to next year now   
Car hire got cancelled last week too so it was all a matter of time. 

Both of us fully vaccinated now too

hi
sorry to  hear about both of your cancelled trips for this year (well upto july) it would seem...hopefully  it may give you   time to find  a better deal? and or save up for next year?
Im kinda  waiting  for maybe in and around black friday (and i think there was a monday  sale thing whatever that was called) for maybe NEXT year.
Hopefully things will inprove and people with 2 jabs will be able  to roam freely without having to do x,y,z  (like test before, during  or after or whatever the rules are now)

kind regards

Thanks @bobbyhibs  Yes we will wait again for some sales / deals.  Was a bit gutted as we had some great deals this time around. I'm hoping once the Vegas rush dies back down there will be some good ones to get again as hotel prices have rocketed at the moment.
More time to save gives us more spending money i guess

roberts...
Will the  airlines.hotels, honour the deals you got  til next year prehaps?
and its a good point bout saving up  some extra spending money... this is where my brother and i differ...im very  tight with my money (i like to think  of my self as money saving   though !!)...my brother is  the kinda guy whom think nothing of losing $300 on the slots within   10mins !

kind regards

The Airline offered a voucher or refund but we've gone with the voucher so that we don't have to pay it back out again, we received a refund from the car hire. 
The Vegas hotel we booked through mlife, I did ask if they could move it on to next year but they couldn't help so I've cancelled and if we don't get the same deal next year we will just have to take the hit. We were going to LA first and have managed to move dates with hotels there. Not many places have up to July next year yet so will have to wait for the end of this month to try again.

I'm not a big gambler either. We were meant to go last year so managed to save more for this year so come next year I might just put £300 in myself
