we wanted to book the same flights as our friends, they'd obviously got the last of the 'low fare economy' and we had to pay for the next tier up.

we saw deals for between 500 and 700 with flights and hotel, but we are staying in the more expensive suites in the luxor, and could find any deals for these. got a cracking deal by booking direct with the hotel over the phone

its location location location in vegas, remember to look up where your hotel is in relation to everything else, for example some great deals can be had if you stay at the stratosphere, but its miles form everything else, right at the top of the strip

enjoy though
