Hello everyone!
My future wife (we're tying the knot at Caesars Palace) and I are on VS043 next week and those nice Virgin people have given us either UC Lounge passes or a £50 refund as compensation for a flight time change.
What should we do? What can we expect in the UC Lounge ? Are there any dress restrictions etc?
All replies gratefully received!
Ps Great site I love the seat ratings section.

If you're on honeymoon, take the lounge passes! Definitely worth more than £50 for a pair, and you'll start the trip off on the right note.
No restrictions on dress code - this ain't BA

I understand that there is a hair dressers/beauty salon in there, is that all complimentary along with the food and drink etc?

Yes its all in and you can book your virgin touch treatment in advance at LGW.The clubhouse passes are worth lots more that £50.Couple of champagnes, meals, hair cuts, shoe shines go for it.

Definitely take the Clubhouse Pass! As Chris says it is worth much more than £50.

Are you flying on a Virgin Holidays package? If you are, be advised if you are taking the shuttle from the airport to Caesars Palace there may be a long wait before it departs. We had 6 people for Caesars and 4 for Bellagio and the driver told us he had to wait until ALL VH pax had left the airport before he was allowed to leave! We had already waited about 20 minutes before getting in the shuttle and then had another 20 + minutes wait. We all complained and the driver went off and was given 8 pax for the MGM to make up his load so we could depart - terrible waste of time. [V]
A taxi is $10 to $12 and if you want a limo it is $50 to $60. If we had known how long we would be waiting we would have got our own transport.

We just got back Monday, the weather was brilliant, warm and dry at night and in the 70's (in the shade) during the days, outlook was similar so you should be alright. Glad about the limo!
