Vegas Vengeance - An APAT Adventure........AKA "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bar"

[AAroddersAA]

EDIT: The cost quoted does NOT include tax.

T & C
LOCAL TAXES NOT INCLUDED IN HOTEL COST

Please note that there may be taxes levied abroad but not paid at the point of purchase that are payable in relation to your hotel booking e.g. local taxes, sales tax etc. Any local taxes will be payable by you directly to the hotel at the time of check in / checkout.

So add on 12% to start.

Just about to C&P the same!

Think I"ll just await the offers closer the time. But the looking is so much fun

Indeed it is - when you book it really feels like you are actually going

You booked then Steve?


I am currently researching prepaid dollar Debit cards. Anyone got any ideas on which one is best?

No mate, I am thinking about it though just to spread the cost a bit. Book the Hotel now and get the flight later. Would like to fly from Gatwick, assuming a few people will be doing the same.

I doubt Virgin will run a 747 over there with just you on it... don"t worry there"ll be other people on there.  

Glad I could help.

Booking the hotel now (through a Vegas Hotel site) will only cost your the first night as a deposit. They charge the rest once you have checked out.

In general, I book the flight first and the hotel last.

I have booked it so I guess I am in Harrahs  

Before today I would have happily paid £250 for the week. Now, for some reason, I pissed off, and refuse to book anything more than $200.

Looks I may have to be in the IP after all

Why?

Dunno really. Probably jealousy, or just that I have a desperate need to get the best price.

It"ll pass though. I"m sure.

Do you know if you can use promotion codes on top of TR bookings?

A 25% discount on top of a TR discount is going to open up a few possibilities for example.

Why not try it and see?

Frankly I don"t think it will work but you never know?

All it means is Ger has already paid for his room by pissing away a fortune at the cash tables last time he was there.  Not free or cheap in the grand scheme of things so don"t panic folks.
