Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

[OverTheBorder]

Yeah, most offers will be deposit refunded if cancelled >24hours before check-in.

I always phone Vegas using Skype, it's very cheap, and some hotel reservation numbers are freephoen, too. Think I put a tenner on 5 years ago, and still have a fiver left.

I did 3 weeks at the IP back when I was grinding, so Excalibur will seem like the Wynn, in comparison

Skype? We only got washing machines in Yorkshire last year.

We had the 'fortune' to be put up in Excalibur for one night 2 years ago when BA delayed us 27 hours coming home (hello 600 Euro compo), so at least we are prepared for the 'luxury' of it all haha tbh for the price (just shy of $300pp for a week including RF and all taxes), coupled with its location close to the casinos we'll be frequenting, makes it a no brainer for us. Obv will be spending as little time in the room as possible

Most importantly its within reasonable walking distance of Blondies, for the $4 breakfasts, $2 pints before 11am and the all you can drink windows

I stayed in Excalibur in Feb. Was fine. Buffet is pretty poor and not a lot of good eating options but room wise no problem at all and good location to base from.  Key issue was the time share people. Got me once going in when they pretended to be concierge. Not twice!!!

ESTA help please.

When completing online they ask for contact info in the US, allows you to put "unknown" and I would like to ensure we got ESTA approval before booking hotel and flights. There's nothing in our applications that should bar us but can't be too careful

Have never completed a VISA/ESTA type thing before.

Anyone completed this before using "unknown" as details and been accepted previously?

Bit of a fastball decided just today that my son and I are looking to travel on 9/10th June for Day 1b of milly maker tourney on 11th.

Don't you just add your mobile number in here ?

I add /update mine n put the first hotel I'm at IVE NEVER BEEN ASKED at immigration to confirm this address
I assume once you are accepted they don't really care
BA or virgin knew I hadn't renewed my esta once - I had merely forgotten or it had run out / I had a new passport
I had to renew the esta before I checked in on line
So the info is all shared

Has anyone ever used American Airlines flight comp vouchers?

Had pretty ridiculous flight delays last year and managed to get $800 in flight comp vouchers.

After reading a bit online it seems a lot of people have gripes about the 'system' to use them. Apparently there is no place to put any codes for such vouchers when booking online and you therefore have to physically send the vouchers away to them. They are transferable and as half the £800 vouchers are in my fathers name I have to get these signed by him and I guess send them away. Not sure how this would affect the site checkout process.

Wondering if it would be better to drive to an airport with an AA desk and try and do it all 'there and then', although I am not sure if they will be as competative with prices.

First world problems I agree and I am happy to have the coupons in the first place but... Has anyone used these before? Were there many problems?

For those flying from Gatwick on Virgin, quick reminder that they have changed Terminals - they now fly from NORTH Terminal. It has always been South Terminal in the past.

[tonytats]

Gatwick have moved all the airlines around
ALL Virgin flights now go from the north terminal
Hampton by Hilton group is at the north terminal and quite satisfactory if you want an overnight hotel ,with overpriced Stella n food G&tplus a  pint Stella £10 sir !
Free breakfast though so not all bad

Tikay ?? Pay attention please
