Vegas Hotels help please (Circus Circus good?)

[Metalface Mark]

Booking up a week in Vegas in July (as they fly direct from Glasgow on only a couple of dates). I was there last year and didnt stay on the strip.

At the moment the best price I can get is for Circus Circus for a week and flights for £803, planet hollywood is £925, and things like New York New York and the Luxor are just under £900.

Has anyone stayed in Circus Circus and is it recommended?

I know Fox stayed at Planet Hollywood and recommended it, Im just trying to see whether its worth the extra £250 as that can be put to some gambling fun while we are there.

Have a look in this tread you can normally find a promo code

an MGM room can sleep 2 couple and can be as cheap as 60 USD per night,

There is a limited choice of hotels booking with the travel agent, for example, direct flights only are £1530, so circus circus is only £75 for the week.

Doing it any other way its going to work out a good few hundred extra.

 

[Metalface Mark]

ok, so what other hotels do you have a choice of?

I would rather sleep out on the streets then stay in CC, or even stay at home

Lol, great thanks, if its that bad then Im really glad I made this thread, I had my credit card details in.

As others have said Circus Circus is a dive compared to others, as well as being out of the way and full of kids/families.

I'd recommend the MGM Grand, Venetian, New York New York or Wynn/Encore.

Don't bother with travel agents, just book yourself via lastminute/expedia etc. It's also worth remembering most of the casino will also charge a resort fee on checkout that won't be included in the price you pay on booking, so be sure to account for it.

I have looked at this, but theres only 1 flight to Vegas from Glasgow, prices for flight are all around £1550.

Avoid the cheapest one, because I'll be there to annoy the **** out of you \o/

But be warned, I'll be mobile, so will probably annoy everyone, everywhere, all the time. Bit like now, really.

Yeah? You there at the same time? Where are you staying?

Ok this is a link to where we are staying in sept as i could list the name.
I did a lot of research and this came out ontop very close call with Bellagio

I was in the **** last year (I parked in there) it was a beautiful hotel, its costing £1050 each to stay there, so its quite a hike.

My heads spinning with all this, I tell you!

I liked PH very much but I did pay only £33 a night to stay there. Not sure how my opinion would differ with prices are high as that!

I am trying to decide whether to just do a flydrive, stay in vegas during the week and then trot off somewhere for the weekend, my girlfriend hasnt seen Los Angeles so I may do that, I know its a long drive (I did it last year), but it would make the hotels a good deal cheaper.

 

[Metalface Mark]

the hotel name is blocked because its a competitor.

I would do that - and I'd fly to LA as well. Start in LA one weekend, finish in LA the next, do Vegas in between. The road trip is fun, it isnt that far and gas is cheap but you will find that not only are the flights cheaper to LA, but you tend to get better flights too (Virgin for example fly the ancient 747's to Gatwick but the newer A340-600's with better IFE to LA, though I'm not sure about from Glasgow).

Midweek stays in Vegas are cheaper.

I did the road trip last year if you remember

There are no direct flights to LA anyway from Scotland, so its going to be straight into Vegas.

 

[Metalface Mark]

All sorted, booked the a.ria - was slightly more expensive than planet hollywood, £35 or something each.

 

[Metalface Mark]

Cant wait!

PH is the best deal there

A R I A is a lovely hotel but getting in and out of it to the strip would drive me mental in 2 days

I did book the A*ia, I know what you mean, I parked in it last year when I was there and got completely lost, its huge.
