    Resort fees nugget of info.

    I found this out after watching a vlog on Vegas yesterday.

    Virgin Holidays have a deal with Tropicana and there are no resort fees.

    https://www.virginholidays.co.uk/destinations/usa/las-vegas/strip/tropicana-browse

    I do not know if this works with any other Virgin Holidays LV Hotels.

    My guess is that they have factored the resort fee into their pricing(and more!).
    Virgin IMO are very expensive with their packages - you can do much cheaper with booking your own flights and hotels - despite the resort fees.

    Agree..Virgin packages way overpriced.

    Just started packing for our trip. Off to Dublin via Birmingham Ryanair tomorrow then flight to Heathrow Tuesday then the normal BA Vegas flight codeshare with AA in Business.

    All paid for with some of the travel vouchers we got for self unloading twice in October.
    Then 9 nights at the Platinum.

    We've only booked a car for 3 days. Day one Walmart, bank, Joes Crab Shack. Day 2 Vegas Gun Club, M resort lunch and pool.
    Day 3 Anything we might need to travel a bit for.

    Gonna use Lyft Line to get to the car lot, last time it was $5 then Lyft for the rest of the trip.
    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.

    We will be at Platinum from 8th April all being well. Travelling on Thomas Cook because they were cheap.

    Only a short trip this time. We were supposed to be there until 20th May, but have had to cut it short this time.

    Maybe see you around, stoneman and koalakoala.

    Sounds good to me. I wonder if we will end up being neighbours again this time.
