Hiya,
we are looking to go back to Vegas in Feb, do you think it would be better to book the flights and hotel separate or both as a package from a website or travel agent?
does anyone know of any good deals that are around?
kate

Have a read back for a few pages and you'll see accepted wisdom is to book seperately and book a refundable if you cancel hotel deal as a fallback until hotel offers appear for your dates.
When looking for good rates first decide which airports are acceptable, direct or indirect and if indirect how long a layover is personally acceptable to you so you don't get dazzled by a cheap fare that isn't really what you want-and for hotels which areas are acceptable ie On Strip/Off Strip-North Strip/Mid/South Strip and what grade of hotel. A good deal is only a good deal if it ticks at least most of your personal wishlist boxes

Oh look your manners are slipping again. Not everyone agrees with you-Deal with it !! (Please)

Its not about agreeing or disagreeing its about you reading my post that selectively and with an agenda in mind that it serves merely to support your pre planned rant.

Next time read the whole post and we'll get along fine.

On viator.com we can all book the same trip, at the same time for a good price. :-)

Craig i dont think Viator systems are 'live' reason being i booked for 2 of us last week - I got an email the next day saying my booked time was unavailable and giving me a list of what was avail - So dont assume they really are avail

And if you do persuade them to book - remember 'surveythanks' in the discount box for a further 5% discount

What rant ? Sweetie if you think that was a rant you obviously lead a verrrrrry sheltered life.

No
Unless you call or email them and ask if they will match the offer from elsewhere you will be charged as per your reservation.

If you are booking with the hotel direct, the free night will be deducted on checkout

Also if booking with the hotel direct, you normally only pay the first night up front as a deposit, the balance of your stay paid when you checkout.

Offer subject to availability. Three night minimum stay required. The lowest room rate will be complimentary and deducted after you check-out. Rates shown already reflect the discounted rate on the promotion.
