    True.  I would prefer to go for longer  but struggling to see if I can get 10/11 days which doesnt include two weekends. Weekend hotel prices are 3 or 4 times that of midweek... but even more worringly flights are A LOT more (like 3x price) to coincide with travellers leaving before or just after a weekend.  Will have to work this one out to see if I can either suck it up and pay the hotel a bit more or find some flights which work around this leap in price.

    Hi gazza,

    Not true in either case.

    Rooms are a bit more pricey at weekends, but nothing like you suggest. Ditto flights.

    Im only going by the numbers ive checked on 3/4 hotel websites and 3/4 separate airlines too.

    Price jump from £650 to £2100 on some flights only a day or two apart.

    Ive not scoured the entirety of the internet yet so im sure there are exceptions but I can only go by what I have seen so far.

    Simple answer..yay!

    I will post something more informative when I have more time but a £2k roll would be much more than enough out there for 7-10 days.

    Yo

    I second Bromley04's motion that you definitely go.

    We are going there again in the summer, gatecrashing Tikay's little hole in the Rio Media Room and generally living on pizza and sugar-loaded air-con for a week (don't anticipate sleep ... it's ovverated in any event).

    Vegas is, largely, what you make of it in terms of cost.   You can live (and spend) like a King, or you can have a modest (and equally cracking) week.  What most people don't realise about Vegas is that there is SO MUCH TO DO.  And a good deal of it is free.

    There are plenty of tournaments that are low bankrolls and you also get free beers (less a tip for the waitress) whilst you are playing, so that will always save you the $8 a beer bar prices!

    Oh man, I am getting giddy just writing this ... *starts counting down on the calendar*
