    Two of my favorites in addition to Oceans 11 & Oceans 13. I also love Vegas Vacation even though I HATE Chevy Chase movies as a rule.

    And Casino - definately...then go to Peppermill for the fire pit. :)

    June
    Does anyone know how I can get cheap direct Virgin Flights for next June 2009? When I say cheap I mean near to £500 as possible.

    Leaving London Monday 15th June going to Las Vegas, and then returning from Los Angeles to London on the 27th June 09.

    The flights on the Virgin website are currently £650+, any codes or special offers?????

    Read through the last 20 pages, good thread. Looking at going next April and browsing BMI suggests prices are reasonable. Seeing as we are being forced to go via Chicago, is it possible to break up the journey with 1 or 2 nights there or something? Anyone ever done this?

    miles plus money is all i know ofyou have a flying club member and accrue some miles between now and then

    Edit - just looked on my account and it would be 2000 miles per adult and bring the price down to £581 per person using miles plus money
    buying 2000 miles would cost £45, but there are many other ways to get those miles for free.

    Chicago is a great city and loads to do with decent public transport. April weather would likely be pretty nice I think. Have you checked if you can do a stopover for a few days at no extra cost though? Sometimes you can, other times you end up with a much more expensive fare. Also, I think BMI fly direct to Vegas on certain days of the week so might be worth checking fares for those days to see how they compare.

    I grew up near Chicago and think it's worth visiting, but personally it's not nearly as interesting as Vegas. :)

    Reports seem to indicate that you can't get M+M fares if you haven't flown with Virgin and earned miles the old fashioned way, though - at least I'm sure others have said you can't buy miles and then get M+M fares straight away - not sure about earning them through other ways like the credit card...I agree that M+M is a good option if you've got the miles, but I wouldn't buy miles the first time around based on what I've read.

    Also, while never in the peak months, we went for quite a long time with £298-£312.50 M+M fares - mostly in November...sad that those days seem to be well and truly over!
