If you want the BW i would go through holidayextras.co.uk.

They sort out the hotel and the parking for you as a package....but I agree, the HI is a very good option.

Only real downside is the wait for the shuttle at the airport when you get back.

The bad news....CET to introduce Resort Fees from 1/3/2013

http://blog.vegas.com/las-vegas-hotels/caesars-entertainment-properties-join-the-fee-ding-frenzy-27716/

Quote


Ranging from as low as $10 and $15 at The Quad and Bally's, respectively, to as much as $25 at Caesars Palace, the new resort fees will cover the cost of fitness center access for two people per day, daily in-room internet access for one device and all local phone calls.

Flamingo, Harrah's and Rio will charge a resort fee of $18, while Paris Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino will require $20 from guests.



The fee only applies to new bookings made on or after March 1, 2013.


If you are going...it might pay to book now...just in case.

For myself, I"m not too fussed as I pay for t"interwebz anyway but still...annoying.

All this is going to do for me personally is mean I will now consider MLife hotels.

Just heard back from my guy at Caesars Palace VIP and he has been able to offer us the following rates.

7/11   $112*
8/11   $112*
9/11   $112*
10/11  $40
11/11  $40
12/11  $40
13/11  $40
14/11  $40
15/11  $96
16/11  $96
17/11  $40
18/11  $40
19/11  $40
20/11  $40
21/11  $48
22/11  $96

*There is a convention on in early November hence the increased rates.

All rates are plus approx 10% for taxes.

He also said that neither he, nor his boss, know anything about the resort fees being introduced on March 1st, but either way, he has given it to me in writing that no resort fees will be applied to our booking.

I have provisionally held 5 rooms at these rates, but we can add more if required. We are able to book as many or as few nights as you wish.

Therefore if you stay for 7 nights from the 9th November for example, the cost would be approx $550 including taxes, so around £350 for the room for 7 nights = £50 per night.

He will email a booking reference and the telephone number next week. If you want to stay here again, you will need to pay for one night now and the balance when you check-in as we did before.

I"ll post the booking reference and contact number when it arrives.

Rich...I"m assuming these are for Harrahs...right?

Not to knock but if you use the code ILFNF (Friends & Familiy offer code - open for anyone to use) I can get 7 nights from 9/11/2011 in a "Classic" room for $478 (inc. taxes).

That was so good...I booked it just in case.

I"ve also had a rate from The Jockey Club (http://www.jockeyclubvegas.com)  which seems to be well placed between the Aria, The Cosmopolitan and The Bellagio for a 1 bed suite for $850 (£531) including wifi and all taxes for 10 nights starting November 7th thru 17th.

The only downside is that many of the rooms don"t have view and this is one that doesn"t.
