I posted this just now under Woodsey's thread about Vegas, but thought it deserved it's own turn in the spotlight.
MAXjet, the business-class airline, is launching a new direct twice-weekly service between Stansted and Vegas from November. Cost approx £1,000 return by the looks of it, which is not much more than price of goat class with Virgin from Gatwick.
Stansted is also more convenient for me, so good news. With comp rooms in Vegas, I feel a regular trip coming on!
I found the MAXjet press release here:
