Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2020

Looks like this is going to be the first year in the last 20 that we aren’t going to do a Vegas trip.
We have well over 40 trips under our belt but kinda have the been there done that attitude now.
Add that to being nickel and dimed at every turn, (even the hotel that we have stayed at for over 200 nights wouldn’t give us a good rate last year), the resorts only wanting the young SoCal money and Vegas has just lost its luster for us.
Money being spent on cruises now, just back from 14 nights in the Caribbean, have 14 booked for the Med in June and another 14 booked for the Caribbean again over Xmas and New Year.
We must be getting old.

hehehehe !

Hi again,


Would appreciate whether one of the Vegas regulars cold critique whether the following is a decent deal or not please...


Flying from Manchester direct with Virgin in Premium Economy both ways ( 2 adults )


Wed 9 September 2020 to Wed 16 September 2020.


7 nights in Flamingo ( Flamingo Room with High Roller View - supposed to be their best rooms ? )


Total cost = 2729.95


I would also get around 600 of that figure if i used my VFC points...


Thanks

I wouldnt pay that, my 2 week trips are usually about £1200 for 2 of us, but that is with comp rooms and cattle class.

what is the price if you price it seperately?

do you have any previous play if so have you checked on Mlife, Total rewards etc to see if you have any room offers.

have you been playing the Wynn slots for free rooms at Wynn or My vegas for free/reduced nights at Mlife hotels, have you looked on smarter vegas for room deals.

I guess it depends on how much effort you want to put in to save some pounds

Thanks for the feedback both, appreciated !


It would be first time in Vegas for both of us so we obviously dont have any previous play / comps etc.


Havnt played mlife/wynn slots, i'm not on Facebook personally, my OH is on FB but whether she would have the time/patience is doubtful, but i get what you are saying about putting the graft in to save money...


Dont really want to scrimp on the flights, i'm 60 this year, OH in 50s and we both have various aches and pains which we dont want to aggravate squashed in Economy, and have never done PE before. We have done long haul in Cattle a couple of times, and it wasnt too bad,but we were younger then.
