Once the main event in San Francisco is over some of us are heading over to Las Vegas. If anyone else wants to join in, come along.

I'm heading over Monday 18th on VX260, then back on 22nd on VX901.

Virgin America are doing singles for $49 for main cabin, $178 for main cabin select and $199 for first class. All prices are exclusive of tax and subject to availability.

Looks like me, Dan & Steve are on the same VX flight from SFO to LAS as you on 18/5 which will be fun [:)]

Steve & I are going on to Palm Springs after Vegas so won't be heading back to SFO on 22/5, although Dan is...on US Airways me thinks

Now there's an idea.

Just need to look for rooms. The MGM Signature rooms are costing well, just would prefer to be further north though.

Take a look at Harrahs, it's coming in between $350 - $430 total

If we can get enough people I will look at booking a block of rooms.

Mine too ages to come through, so much so that I thought the address might have been wrong.

I'll be in Vegas that weekend so will already have left by the time you all get there - I'll try and leave the place in one piece! [:p]

For anyone interested, there are some very good deals at the MGM Grand. When looking at availability, in the 'offer code' box put either MGM023 to get a Tower room for 4 nights at $270 inclusive or INB250 for great prices on suites.

Other codes can be found HERE

When booking direct, you pay the usual deposit and 48hours notice to cancel and get refund. It's called 'Keep the party going' promotion but cannot find an end date.

I am very happy with my deal [:D]

Is anyone else interested?

Thanks for the offer Darren - hope you don't mind, but having done the Canyon on more times than i can remember, I will give it a miss this time round.

No problem. Never done a flight in before (or anything in a whirly-bird) so it will be a novelty for me.

I have also done the Maverick one - inc a 'champagne' lunch. Absolutely first class trip but as others have said - once done and all that ......

looks like me then.

I do have some rather odd things to do. One evening (weather dependant) will head way off up along 375 and enjoy the dark skies.
