    Insurance & Waivers Information
    When you hire a car through Traveljigsaw, you car rental agreement will normally include collision damage waiver & theft waiver. Collision Damage Waiver will waive your liability to pay for any damage caused to the vehicle during the period of hire. Theft Waiver provides coverage for the theft or damage resulting from attempted theft of the vehicle, its parts and accessories up to their full value and any loss that our car rental partner may incur. Both are subject to certain exclusions. Your liability is waived subject to you paying a charge, referred to as an "excess" which limits your liability to the cost of the excess only. In some instances, an excess will not apply and you will be advised of this at the time of making your booking.

    Any advice would be most welcome , (vegas newbie )The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

    £847.50 _City room

    Average price per person




    6 nights in the Venetian would cost about $1000 if booked direct inc resort fees and taxes. I have taken a rough guess I havent checked.
    Roughly £650/£700.

    As said by Froggit, Venetian doesnt have city rooms so not sure what you are being quoted for

    Think its the Cosmopolitan that has city rooms

    Can you find flights for less than the remainder

    any advice for transfer from las vegas airport to hotel - Ba charge £127 eachway.
    £127!!!... EACH WAY!!!???

    that is horrendous... a cab each way would be under $40 (~£30?) I would expect at worst - the Venetian is only a few miles away

    Didnt seem relevant.

    Does the zero excess apply only to theft do u think?

    Thanks

    Absolutely worth it. Probably one of my favourite Vegas activities - I would recommend anyone go visit.

    Great thread.

    1st post on here so fingers crossed I'm in the right place.

    Were going to Vegas for our honeymoon later in the year and are lucky that a friend works for virgin and we can get his discount of 20%. We are going to do 9 nights from Gatwick on the 11 Sept and have narrowed it down to 2 hotels,
    The Tropicana ( £1684 ) which is ranked at 15th on Trip advisor or the Mandalay bay resorts (£ 2051 ) which is ranked at 77th despite being 5 star as opposed to the Tropicana which is only 3.5 star.
    The price difference between the 2 isnt a lot and we can afford either but after reading trip advisor I am more inclined to go with the Tropicana..............

    Just after general advice, Our main thing is we want a good pool area as will be spending a couple of days around the pool hence going for 9 days as opposed to a week.

    Any advice on the hotels at all ? or any other tips we may benefit from ?

    Anyone done this or know of any discounts?

    Also looking at thegunstorelasvegas.com

    I know a few of ye have been. WHats the easiest way to get to it? taxi? and is it easy to get a taxi back. Read somewhere they were hard to get if you go off peak.


    Thanks in advance

    Forgot everything you read on tripadvisor! Massive difference in the two hotels, mandalay bay is right at the bottom of the strip and is fantastic, great pool, buffet, restaurant, bars. Bus stop outside and monorail taking you to luxor and excalibur.
