Flying with them out of Bellingham you will save $300-500 per person.
FYI, if anyone sees any deals for Dec 1-5 time frame please let me know. Going down to watch the new Michael Jackson Cirque Du Soleil show!! Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | Don't forget that you do get charged for the number of bags you bring. You also get charged for pre-booking your seats which they highly recommend.

Last time I flew Allegiant I pre-paid for one checked bag and seat reservation, I did not pay for priority boarding.
Even with paying for all of these add on fees I still about $300. Next time I go I will probably just bring a carry on and sit in what ever seats are left.
I was looking at prices today, flight and 2 nights at the Palazzo is $400 a person with Allegiant. If I fly from Vancouver the flight alone will cost $400, crazy! Posted via RS Mobile | |

Just make sure you're not sitting in the back of the plane. You'll really feel the plane moving.

Being Asian and from Richmond I'm guessing you have lots of $$$ so get table service. Talk to your hotel concierge and tell him where you want to go that night. He will get you in touch with the club and you can book your table from them. It's 3 people per bottle. Bottle costs around $600 with tip. It works out to be not much more than standing in line paying cover and buying drinks at thye bar.

I love Vegas because it's a cheap destination to get to and there's so much to do... Shop, eat, party, lounge, shoot guns, race cars, sight see, etc... But no matter what, how ever much money you bring to Vegas it is never enough. $500 or $50,000, doesn't matter, there's always some baller, celeb, business or what ever that is blowing money like crazy!

I bought Mix from that deal. $2 for $50 must order 2 entrees which doesn't matter for me.
Only 1 coupon per table so they arent really like gift certs.
Tried Winn Buffett tonight it was overrated. Posted via RS Mobile | |
