    Have you thought of venturing out of Vegas for a night Laughlin or the Grand Canyon ?
    I will pretend you didn't say that:rolleyes: ;)
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Please Note: Additional one-way fees may apply for this rental. Should this be the case we will contact you after you send in your request & advise you of the relevant fees, which will be payable to the supplier locally.
    Makes it difficult to compare prices if there might be some extras to come.
    So long as you can cancel without penalty if any extra fees come in, its worth going for. As I said, they told me on the phone today there were no one way charges NV/CA

    I haven't stayed there, but have read plenty and the Golden Nugget seems to be the only place to stay downtown.

    What about the Orleans or Gold Coast for that night?

    So far an online quote from hertz works out at £107, picking the car up at 10am from lax and returning to their vegas office at 5pm that night, we obviously pay a premium for returning the car to a different location.

    Are you sure the £107 includes a drop off fee? Its a bit of a coincidence that £107 is the cost of a days rental of an SUV (while a compact will cost £19.30). Both include all fees and there is no drop off fee with Hertz between Lax and Las (change the destination to Salt Lake City to see the difference).

    I know how you feel about going back, i am so down everytime i come back

    Yep congrats from me too :beer:

    And I agree on the feeling down. Me and OH went in June, and I'm pining to go back.
    I adore the place, and I would highly recommend getting married there too, ('cos we did in 2001 and it's a fab experience) just for the trip to the courthouse to get the marriage licence. :rotfl:

    I agree...just assumed you couldn't cancel...if you can then that's excellent...may look into it for our trip in April then.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Just checked them to see how it compared to the rates booking direct (as if the inclusive rate isn't a lot more than the direct rate I might go with it). When it gives the rate it says:

    I had a similar situation with CarHire300 a few months ago & phoned to check before booking. The agent I spoke to was able to confirm there was no additional fee and did the booking for me, at the online discounted price - and the confirmation emailed to me stated "no one-way fee".

    Laughlin is great!

    I always (well mostly) make time for a few days down at Harrahs in Laughlin - love it!
