Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

[Marky147]

Dublin to Vegas, change at Gatters, selected dates in November £260. Book via Expedia/Google flights.

I have thought about these Dublin flights, and am pretty sure I'd take flying direct in premium economy over upper class from Dublin with lots of extra flights and waiting around.

Upper is really nice, but getting there quickly is also nice.  I only get a week off there each year, so want to waste as little time as possible waiting around.  

If I lived a long way from Gatwick or Manchester I guess it works.  If you are having to fly from Inverness to Gatwick then you may as well go to Dublin instead.  

I'm an advocate of these Dublin flights, but do appreciate it is all down to circumstances (I don't have children, or a wife, or much of a life)

I just wanna get there and back as cheap as possible (generally), so if I can save a few hundred in the process then that usually covers my hotel for the week (alas I'm too peasant for Wynn/Venetian/Bellagio).

Some of the ones from Dublin (or Scandinavia) do get a little silly with multiple stops both ways, but the one stop jobs via London are good, and doesn't involve too much pissing about. Plus I only take hand luggage so I can skip the last leg and travel home without having to head back to Dublin/Gothenburg/Copenhagen/Stockholm.....yes I've done them all

Some mates going out in Novemeber for the marathon, there is a chance I'll be joining with my girlfriend in tow so I think I'll be looking at non-stop options

That's the main problem for me, other than my legs not working

I need 2 cases, or I'm going to be doing a lot of washing.

That's very helpful Tony, but, you know, I'm really struggling to imagine Marky in a Laundrette. He's more a CrapsTableEtte sort of guy I reckon.

Drop em off they do service washes you get all your laundry neatly folded in a bag !
Simples
Best pack a gun though it’s a rough area - lol

[StuartHopkin]

Most of the hotels there will have a laundry service!

LOL @ hitting the laundrette in Vegas!

I don't even play Craps, Tikay. I just sit at the bar and throw into the kitty when they do, in case it's time to run good!

They do, but if I had to use that as frequently as would be necessary, if I were to fly with one piece of hand luggage.  I'd come out spending more than I'd save by messing about with flights from Dublin

In Yorkshire, we turn our t-shirts inside out. Jobs a good un!

Last time I looked at Vegas hotel laundry service prices, it would be cheaper to go to Premium Outlets and just buy new.

Suspect it would be cheaper to send a personal shopper too.

A bowl of frosties in the Aria Café is $8.

That's still better value than the hotel laundry.

I had all my stuff done at The D a couple years back, which wasn't so bad.

I remember getting a few things done at Cosmo, and it not being quite so good

Worth the premium, when you're on the Raspberry express.

Depends what you wear on holiday I suppose?

There is still a way to earn miles for HMRC spend for free. I had a Curve card when they first came out but cancelled it when they dropped support for Amex.

I’ve just set up and ordered one of these cards I will let you know if it works on hmrc   !
The cards turned up today so I’m coming to test it   !
Thanks Grant
