I'd stick the dates into lastminute.com to get a rough idea

Probably too early to get a decent deal. Most flights and accommodation prices won't even be out. Those that are will be at premium prices. wait till the autumn before you book, but start monitoring the prices on the usual travel websites.

As above. Prices wont be out yet for next year. I'd start checking Virgin and BMI around March to see what prices they offer. Anything around the £325 mark for a return flight should be snapped up. Their normal rates are around £450 i believe, but they will occasionally do offers. I was waiting for cheap flights for this March. In the end nothing came up and the cheapest way to vegas was £390 with a 2 hour stop in LA with United from Heathrow. You should be able to get flights with one stop all year round with an American company for around the £350 mark, but this can be a pain.
I'd check hotel websites for their best deals but in general these wont come out until 6 months before you travel. Good hotels on the strip that you could get for £70 a room per night are nyny, mgm, paris , planet hollywood and ti. So basically, you should be able to do a week in a decent hotel with flight for £700. If you want to go higher than this then i'd check out rates at the venitian, bellagio and theHotel at Mandalay. A bit lower and luxor, monte carlo and imperial palace prices can be dirt cheap.

Orleans is a nice place to stay off strip. Cheaper than strip hotels and better quality rooms as well.
The Orleans itself has a nice cardroom also.

Another option is to stay downtown (hotels generally cheaper) - plenty of card rooms all within walking distance unlike the strip.

BMI direct from manchester next week is £299! When I actually want to go (well I want to go nextweek too but no plans for that  ) in April they are £450 and not direct. Cheapest is AA for about £340 atm. Hotel depends on how many you want to share with and whether on or off strip. But will be pretty cheap. |

£279 return with mytravel.com (now part of Thomas Cook) from Manchester direct.

have costs gone up a bit recently. Wanting to go end of May and cant find flights for less than £480 or hotel/flight deals for about £600 (4 nights). That was through expedia and a few others.
Would appreciate any advice if there is cheaper available?

You're atarting to get into peak time end of may.
Try looking for a 7 night stay(if you have the time/leave to be there that long) they are often cheaper on expedia than 4 nights!!!!
Also, for 7 days look for a departure day of tues-weds-thurs. These are usually cheaper.
Another thing to bear in mind is changes around airport/flight companies contracts around fueling/stopping. It's much easier getting a departure out of Gatwick than what a return is.

For a little bit more cash you can get a much nicer hotel on strip.
I flew direct with Virgin in January, and got 4 nights at the Signature at MGM Grand for 650. Fantastic hotel suites and pretty good value.

What is the fascination about a great "hotel suite" ?
Poker room is far more important, as thats where you spend most of your time.

I agree M3, I plan to spend as little time as possible in my room and 98% of that will be with my eyes firmly shut. My mate actually fell to sleep in the casino standing up last time he went.
No hotel is all about (in order): Location, Location, Price.
