    Houston, Tx -----------> Las Vegas, Nv. (I can get $225 w/no stops).
     
    Vegas Hotel: Venetian, Bellagio, Caesars (I can get $700 for 3 nights).
     
    So my budget would be around $1K for Thurs, Fri, Sat nights. Pretty good deals in my book.

    From Philly for two people - $820 at the Luxor for 5 nights including a weekend.

    Check out Orbitz and Kayak for good fares.

    Hotwire is good too, but not outside the US.

    Personally for me...I went through expedia for some deals but not all.
     
    For Vegas..I found out after comparing prices...it's cheaper for me to book through the airline I want to fly....than wait til the last week to book for my hotel. If you book way too early in advance for your flight, it can be expensive....likewise for hotel, but I found out that hotels are never 100% full so if you wait til the last week to book your room, you will get it for a much better rate.
     
    GL hope you enjoy!

    There are plenty of places to stay in Vegas and the rates are very competitive...my last 3 trips to Vegas..I waited til the last week or 3 days before the arrival time to book the room directly through the hotel, I didn't save a bunch of money,,but a couple of hundreds here and there goes a long way like paying for your meals.

    flight is usually $250-$300 from Jacksonville, Fla roundtrip.  Evene caught a $325 type deal from BQK, a small airport that goes through Atlanta.
     
    Hotel and food is usually free once I am done playing...typically Paris.
     
    Gambling money is BY FAR the most expensive part.  I typically take $1,000/day to play with.

    Thanks for the replies lads,suprised to see so many on our ghost forum,cheers
     
    Last night we got a deal we couldnt turn down,obviously the flights are a lot more expensive from over here but this was a cracker.
    7 nights,return flights,2nd week in april.Ok had to take hooters but its close to the strip.
    $800 each,thought it was to good to turn down considering we paid $1350 for flights and 7 nights at the Tropicana in October.
    Interesting you guys generally go for 3 or 4 days.
    Thanks for the input.

    DALLAS TO VEGAS =  $150-200
     
    Get free rooms at MGM.....
     
    So I need about 2-2.5 k per day not counting SPORTSBOOK....
     
    MGM hooks us up w/ food and transportation (not flights or anything like that but a party bus if we want for the night)..
     
    I love the MGM.  I know its not a real popular place for some but they are WONDERFUL
    The ORIGINAL not the package kind

    Round trip from Fort Lauderdale $250 to $350 depending on time of year. $1000 to $1200 round trip to go 1st class.
     
    I always stay at MGM and am well taken care of. We get a stretch limo to and from the airport. Seems that the comped suite gets nicer with each trip. All food, beverages and shows at MGM and the other MGM properties are also comped. They pretty much give me whatever I ask for with the exception of air fare. Thank you MGM. I never even think of staying elsewhere.

    Blackjack and the occasional trip to baccarat or craps. I'm not a poker player.

    Manchester......If you purchase a package trip over the internet, the casino (at least MGM) won't comp your room. I learned this on my very first trip to vegas when I went with my wife (before she was my wife). We purchased a package on line for airfare and 5 days at MGM. This was my first ever trip to vegas. Cost us around $900 if I remember correctly. During my stay there a pit boss told me about getting a host, so I inquired at the host's desk. She explained to me how things work and was not able to comp our room even though my play had qualified me for such because we had already bought and paid for our room nights on line. She did however, comp all of our food and two shows. We saw George Carlin at MGM and Rita Rudner at NY NY.
     
    What game to you play when in Vegas? What would you say that your average wager is? I'm happy to help guide you. The key to comps is making sure that you get rated each and every time that you sit down at a table. At MGM, they look for an average bet of $50 per hand with at least 4 hours a day at the tables. The higher your average bet, the more comps you'll get. Hope this helps.

    It helps a lot Fish,thanks for taking the time.
    I dont play any BJ/Roulette or craps.
    Play poker 2/4,3/6 limit and NL... and any Tournaments less than $200 buy-in...also non stop fruit machines
    To be honest we wont pay the money to stay in the Bellagio/MGM/Ceasers etc cause we never are in the room except to sleep,we prefer to take cheaper deals for say the Trop/Sahara etc...we just this week booked for April,week in Hooters(yeah they say its shabby,but 2 min walk off strip) and return flights for less than $800 each,that was way to cheap to turn down...we have been twice a year for the last 3 years,so we prefer to have as much as we can for betting and poker and ale.
    Usually we will spend between $3000/$4000 a trip.
     
    Thanks for takin the time pal,gl

    Manchester......I'll be in Vegas for the tail end of your trip. Taking my wife to see Bon Jovi at MGM on 4/12. Maybe we can hook up for an "ale" or cocktail as Hooters is only a wedge away. However, you'll have to come over to MGM so neither of us has to pay for it.
