Your booking a holiday for 3 people in two rooms. You look on a travel site for a quote which comes out £1061pp.

Its pointed out to you that as you have booked 2 rooms that the people in the room of 2 are paying more for the person in the single room.

What do you do? (Your the person in the single room.)

Grammar pedant itt.

Single person pays more and its not even questionable.

+1 Unless you can convince your mum to pay for you  :D

This

Obv single pays more. Get someone to go in the room with you.

This thread is pretty sick!

Girgy is thinking about pulling the robbery on his own mother!

Poor MamaG

Busted.

I genually never thought about the suppliment. Although as Mama G is a top Mother i wouldnt stiff her.

all pay the same and flip for the single room

There is no supplement for a single person, they are just sharing the cost of one room cus in the US you just pay for the room irrespective of the number of people sleeping in it.

As it is Mama G's birthday why not give her the single room and you share with her friend thereby killing 2 birds with one stone!!

1) Mama G is uber happy

2) Girgles gets some lurve action   ;)

If her friend looked anything remotely like Mrs AK then that would be an option.

Im sure i wont struggle to find an attractive lady to spend an hour or two with?

Depends.

If its three mates and someone is taking the single as a function of the fact that there are three of you then everyone pays the same.

If you've booked to to away with a couple, single pays more ldo.

But if you are on a budget Mama G's friend gonna be way cheaper!!!

pmsl :D 

I dont have a budget.

Pay the single supplement then and stop grimming Mama G then  ;)

i meant for hookers.

They're expensive in Vegas so it's best to budget lol

But what if she's choosy?

Stop grimming Mama G then........

im not gonna grim her!!

I'll prob buy 3 flights all the same price and the book two rooms obv I'll pay for mine and mama g and friend chop their room up. fair?

If you're with mates then obviously if someone really wants the room to themselves they can pay.

If nobody's bothered then you just flip for it.

If it's with your mum then it's nothing to do with ethics it's to do with how your family works things.

Nobody on here knows how things work in your family so nobody can really help.

I might say to not be such a tight git and don't make your mum subsidise your room. This would be wrong of me however because I know that if I were in the same situation my mum would happily pay for me anyway.

You must have an idea of what your mum would want you to do? Basically just do whatever that is.

spot on my mum would pay for me anyway.

Just when you look on expedia and it gives u a price per person i just didn't take into account the single suppliment.

Obv I've gone on lads hols where we've all payed same if some rooms have 2 or some have 3 etc

If you're staying Flamingo you won't get any cheaper than ringing direct with Harrahs as far as I am aware. Another consideration you can't get your room comped if you book through a third party as you pay upfront.

Book it direct so if mama girgy knocks it on the slots, you do it on blackjack you may well recieve some money off your rooms at the end of the stay.

I'm not sure which is worse...

a) opening your mum's hand bag and taking a crisp £20

b) billing her and her friend a premium for your solo room

c) making the poor dear stay @ Flamingo

^ Nothing wrong with the Flamingo mate, stayed there loads of times.

prob stealing off her which I've never done in my life.

do it now then, it's win win

overcharging her for the room won't be half as bad in comparison plus you'll have 20 quid to put towards hookers

Thread is Awesome..

FFS Girgles Take a step back and think about it.

If your mum was going for the first (and perhaps only) time would you really recommend it??

Yes no question, I've stayed all over Vegas and there is nothing wrong with the place. In fact I would say its especially suited to the older crowd, my Mum specifically asked to stay there again this trip.

If it's mates then the poor mug (normally me) who has to organise the whole thing, pay for it, collect the money and drive to airport gets the single - not even a debate!

Think Girgy is gonna drive it, but with the meter running on time and a half...

ffs girgy, book it separately!

find out which airline flights are on & go direct with them, then google vegas hotels online & look for offers!

There is a couple of the Flamingo offers about atm Girgy

Well i looked on expedia last night and a week at ballagio with direct flights on virgin was coming up at £1061 pp

Same flights on virgin were £699pp.

You saying i could get a week in balagio for £300 booking severally?

Send me the dates and shit and I'll have a look for you.

13-20 December. cheers

You're not getting it for 300, you are getting it for 720 m8. Your flights are 700 and the rest is per room based on 2 people sharing.

Does it matter which airport?

You can get 2 GO rooms at Flamingo on for that 7 nights for $910 + tax using this link  http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73515 (http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73515) Girgy as opposed to $950 without $40 will get you a couple lapdances ;)

I'll be brutal here.

Right now I can't see anything better than the deal you have.

However - I wouldn't book yet for December. I'd wait. Quite simply because current direct flights are £700+ for your dates and I believe that you can get them down to £500 - £550, maybe even lower by waiting for the sales. The last flight sale only covered up to September 2012 so I assume the next one (probably April time) will cover Nov-Dec.

As for hotels - same thing. Most of the good deals for your dates won't come out for another 5-6 months. Ergo, wait.

If you need the security of booking now then do so and book the deal you have got on Expedia. If you can wait, then I would, and I think a lot of the main knowledgeable Vegas guys would agree.

^ depends if the flight is direct or not.

If you can wait - and MamaG & friend will stay in one of the following hotels, then try this:

Hotels are: Aria, Cosmopolitan, Vdara, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn. You may get another one that I don't know about but as far as I'm aware, it's these 6.

What you do is as follows: go to priceline.co.uk. This redirects to booking.com and on the right hand side should be a box saying "part of priceline etc" and a clickable link stating "Name Your Own Price". Click this link.

On the new page, click "U.S." and then "Las Vegas". Underneath, select your dates and that you want 2 rooms. Then click "Start Saving".

On this page, click box 9. ONLY BOX 9! This is "Las Vegas Strip Vicinity South". Then click next. (THIS DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IF YOU CLICK ANY OTHER BOXES THAN 9)

On the new page, click 5 star luxury only. Then put in the amount, per night, you are willing to pay for each room. This number is in POUNDS, not dollars. Note - this does not include the dreaded resort fee. Scroll down and put the name of the person who is PAYING for the room (presenting the Credit Card to the hotel) into the boxes for the rooms. Click next.

Review your request - make sure the amount per night is correct, the dates, and the area. Then initial and click next.

Next page is fill in the card details. If a hotel accepts your bid they will charge your card immediately. No refunds. Theoretically, the hotel should be one of the following: Aria/Cosmo/Vdara.

If they don't accept, you can only bid again if you modify your area. This time, just add box 7 to it. That brings in Venetian/Palazzo/Wynn.

Keep bidding, twice total per 24hrs, until you get a price you are happy with.

I used this myself to get the Vdara for £45 per night plus tax.

last year for the same dates BA/Virgin wanted £500 during the sales.

I paid 650

Book the hotel now and if something better comes up you can cancel and rebook on the new deal. If nothing better comes up then you've got the best of it, you only have to pay 1 night on booking and the rest upon checkout.

Agree with Woodsey, I looked at plenty myself last year, and for someone else here at work and they were never £500

Must have found some ridonkulous deal Adam.

Wanna fly from Manchester.

Thanx for your effort Adam much appreciated.

You can make more rebids than this in the 24hr timespan, using the "free" rebid strategy.

In this case las vegas there are 12 options and only 3 have 5* hotels in those areas. Those being 7,8 and 9.

So you can have a rebid by simply entering 1 of the other areas without a 5* hotel in it and bidding again on 5*. As it is impossible to get a 5* hotel in those areas. You can do this until you have exhausted those areas. So in this case 11 bids a day.

The sale from last July - between Sep 11 and March 12

LAS was £430.

Well I'm sure there was 1 seat at that price  :D
