    right don't panic as photome says .

    1st all rooms in The Venetian are advertised as suites . the standard suite is usually just a big room with a sunken living area ( i.e no door between the 2) .

    book direct with the hotel ( not through priceline or 3rd party) and you only pay 1st night as deposit and it will 100% refundable if you cancel before 72 hours of your stay. most prices do need tax adding to them but it is only a few % . offers start about 12 weeks before your dates , but Venetian is a popular place espically with convention goers , so is not most abundant offers.

    try all the links in the 1st page of the las vegas guide. here they all are . book something now with the hotel and they will probably price match any better offer you find , if they don't cancel and rebook at the better price . always ring when doing something like that. trust me they get more complex enquiries than yours all day everyday.

    when i looked at this, it says $1603 ? also to book it says country etc ? USA, ENGLAND ETC.....no NORTHERN IRELAND ?????
    Yes there is 9% tax to add on (there is tax to add on to everything you buy in Vegas/USA)

    Like blindman says book it, you have nothing to lose as you can always change it/cancel it and get your first night charge back. That is one very good reason not to book a pacakage.

    A way round the country problem is maybe to book it over the phone..blindman wont like that though:rotfl: :rotfl: . there will be a code for that deal which is what you will need on the phone

    personally i would not worry . england , northern island they are very unlikely to care a jot !! but book over the phone if you worried . i always use this service at 1p min

    Can't settle myself....Feel so bad....everyone is a bit miffed they got to pay nearly £1000 each, and we don get there til 9pm evening.......
    Do you think i should book that offer you posted above ?
    how do you cancel if you see the last 6 days cheaper ?
    phone ? email ?
    sorry for being a pain.just want to be sure....
    Just to add...to make it clear.

    You book the 7 nights and pay for the first night at time of booking.

    If you want to change it for whatever reason you can call them or do it online... if you cancel you will be refunded, or you could change it if the Venetian offers those nights cheaper at a later date by ringing them and asking for a reduction...


    SORRY not much any of us can do about the time you get there
