tonyk - How far in advance did you book your flight with Virgin as they are coming out really dear online. I want to go around 4th June for a week!!!

I booked on Jan 1st this year for June 27th- July 11th. As far as I know only Virgin Fly Direct to Vegas from the UK, Its a London Gatwick flight. I also noticed that its cheaper to go on June 4th and come back on june 12th as opposed to the standard 7 days.
As for the Luxor, Its $344 for 6 nights on June 4th. Also if you book direct with a hotel and the price gets lower or a better deal is advertised, they will match the price for you and you can also cancel your booking without penalty if you find a better deal elsewhere. Another point worth mentioning is, depending on how much you gamble, a hotel will possibly comp your stay- this is only possible if you book direct. I had this happen at the Orleans (4 nights) last year and im comped two free nights this year.
