I have saved a block of Annual leave with the view to booking a week April to June. See you over there !!!!!

Best answers:

• Good thinking Trets77.
  I'm looking for the Easter Hols (1st 2 weeks in April).
• Expedia
  £458 for 3 nights between 22nd - 25th November.
  Flying with Virgin, staying at the Mirage.
  I've booked - bosh
• Great idea trets77
  Im looking to go in May for the Mayweather v De La Hoya fight, which is on the 5th May
  Okay this is what ive got
  For 2 People for 7 nights:
  Hotel: Stratosphere - $490 (£249) - www.unitedvacations.com
  Flights: $1186 (£601) - american airlines
  Total Price: £850 - £425 per person
  Can anybody beat this?
  Baz
  (Ive chosen Stratosphere as its the cheapest hotel I can find on the strip, apart from Circus Circus which I dont want to stay at)
• i booked a few days ago to go out to Vegas with Virgin on the 28th April to 14th May.
  Flight was Ј312.50.
  Gonna wait a few weeks before booking a Hotel as fatwallet and other sites hopefully will have some offers on.
  But at the moment you can get the stratosphere (ok far end of the strip) for 50 dollars a night.
• Watching this with interest - I'd like to go back in Mid October (for a couple of weeks), London Airports are my preference, where am I best looking for flights (just the virgin atlantic site or do others fly direct?). I'd prefer not to do a package as I will stay in the area for a couple of weeks (probably 4 days in LV and 10 days elsewhere!)
• looks like Virgin have a january sale on till the 23rd. here are the details
  Ј284 05 Jan - 31 Jan 07
  Ј304 1 Feb - 28 Mar 07, 06 Apr - 30 Apr 07, 01 Nov - 09 Dec 07
  Ј439 29 Mar - 05 Apr 07, 01 May - 30 Jun 07, 20 Aug - 31 Oct 07
  Ј609 01 Jul - 19 Aug 07
  expect a few add on charges on top of that i think but if the differnce is say only Ј50 i.d go with the Virgin flight BAZ simply because it is direct. That said AA would be better seats ect.
  i think it is prudent to say to ALL Book the flight first if you see a great price and worry about the hotel after...you will get somewhere whatever happens
  just in case it was missed https://www.lasvegastalk.com/index.php is a great resource for hotel deals. free to register as well.
  i have also opened a similar thread to this one on the LVtalk flights threads for cross referencing .
  here is the hotel thread on LVtalk forums ( will need to register to view)
  https://www.lasvegastalk.com/modules....viewforum&f=14
  i was particually intrested in the thread in which a guy got a room at the Alladin for $99 a night from a site called www.hotwire.com looks similar too priceline (maybe same site with differnent skin) . anyone know if it accepts UK bookings ect. i like the way it tells you where your unknown hotel is situated as you can narrow it down to what is in that area.
• PS - this came down to £432 - that's a ridiculous price for virgin flights and mirage accomodation.
  er, this should have quoted post 3
• The AA flight price is including taxes, Ј300 return each. I dont think im gonna get any better than that
• has anyone stayed at the imperial palace?
  At the moment it is the same price as the Strat but it is centre of the strip.
  Out of the two which would you go for?
• to the top please
• Having no luck in beating American Airlines indirect or Virgin direct as already posted at the mo .
  Ј300-Ј325 per person seems to be rock bottom for May at this time..

  No offers in any Saturday Travel supplements that i got today either. bookings must be good. all sales end around 23rd Jan so will be intresting to what happens then
  also i draw your attention to this CC thread, https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....html?t=281770
  whoever you go with make sure you are registered for the Frequent flyer club and grab the Airmiles for future money saving. got my flights to Boston Booked last week With the BMI deal saving me around Ј700 on 2 tickets at current prices for peak season Fall in New England.
  keeping them peeled here
• https://www.southalltravel.co.uk/newoffer/usa/index.aspx
  have a offer on for Ј449 with flights out of Heathrow via Chicago for 5 nights for stays upto 25th of Feb. i called the phone line and was told this offer also applies for the whole of November. however nothing on the website about it :confused: . if your calling say you saw the offer in the Sunday Times.
  You will unsurprised to learn that the hotel in this offer is CIRCUS CIRCUS. i am not getting into a debate (on this thread at least ) about the merits or lack of them with the place , but i will just say whatever happens i won,t be staying there. i enquired about a upgrade and picked the Alladin as a tester to be quoted Ј175 extra. not great but at least we have a benchmark agaisnt other offers.

  Hate to confuse but Id go for Imperial Palace (stayed there and the Strat)
  Srat is nicer Hotel (just) but Imp Palace is in a much much better location. The area around the Strat is pretty grim and its at the wrong end of the Strip.
  Only thing with Imperial Palace is not very kid friendly.
• thanks people....
  ok, the distance of the strat does`nt bother us,my lady and me are both young and fit (ish) and any way hopefully the hotel will be just a place for some shuteye,don`t want to spend a lot of time there.from reading reviews it seems the strat gets the nod due to it being a newer building.
  Were` on a bit of a budget as well and the room per night difference is nearly 20dollars.price at the strat is going down...
  but not going till end of april so hopefully can catch a deal somewhere really good!!!!
