Hi Lads,
Quick question. Me and the Mrs to be are planning our honeymoon over in the states but are unsure about what we should be paying for the following holiday (details below).
So far we have been quoted £2385 pp for this which I think looks ok but this is coming from the lad who (with the exception of NYC for 4 days) has only been to Maga and Ibiza 
So Holiday as it stands:
12th Aug: Edinburgh - Gatwick - Las Vegas
7 Nights in the Cosmopolitan Hotel
19th August: Las Vegas to Miami
7 Nights in the Loews Hotel
26th August - Miami - Gatwick - Edinburgh
Sorry to ask but i'm a bit clueless. The only doubt I have is that it's quite early to book and flights may well be expensive as there arent many on offer? (Supply and demand etc etc)
Any help would be great! Sorry for the essay! 
Stu

cosmo is awesome
just got a price of £1100 per person for 3 nights in october this year at cosmo
flights are what you pay for, can get cosmo for around £50 a night
which room are you staying in?
we had a terrace studio, if you can get a terrace wrap around suite, my parents had that and it was nearly as big as my flat
the pool is very cool

Thanks for that mate! So on the face of it that price of £2385 pp looks ok then?
Cosmo looks fully ace. That Marquee day club looks the dugs baws 
I think it's a City Room were in mate? Apparently I have to give the receptionist 50 dollars though and tell her it's our honeymoon to see if we can get an upgrade

When we were shopping around we found it cheaper to book flight and hotel separately, opposed to packages.
Heard good things about Cosmo, but can fully recommend The Mirage as well.

We got two bottles of champagne and an upgrade from a suite without Strip view to a corner suite with panorma Strip view for being on our honeymoon, so hardly as extravagant.
I wouldn't think the receptionist would even have the power to upgrade from a room to a suite? Unless of course you're lucky enough to run in to the manager...

I'm off to the Cosmo next Thursday. One week, breakfast included. Paid £950 for flights and accommodation which seems pretty decent.

Thanks fo the help lads. Were booking through North American Travel here in Edinburgh.
I just got told my a lady in work who goes to Vegas regulary to drop the girl 50 sheets and let them upgrade us
Worth a shot I suppose unless she just pockets the 50 and waves us on our way
 lol

were going to do the marquee one, but the normal pool had tunes playing and was full of hotties (lots of free pool tables too) so we just stayed in there, there is a quiet pool to the side of the building if you want to relax

Aye that Marquee Day club looks the shizzle, as does the Wet Republic one at the MGM 
Going to book that helicopter to grand canyon and go see Hoover Dam too I think!
Anything else you would recommend mate?

I went to wet republic. Also got fucked, someone stole my flip flops from the side of the pool and my mate got asked to leave cos he was off his tits.
I highly recommend it.

Excellent! So to summarise lots of eating, partying and getting in a mess seems the order of the day with a helicopter ride thrown in for good measure?

Miami go on the duck tour bus, sounds lame but was a really good way of seeing the best places to go.
Mango's is a good laugh
http://www.mangostropicalcafe.com/
most bars, cafe's restaurants along the sea front are brilliant and all have their own offers
didnt actually go to any clubs but there was lots of offers of limos to clubs etc

Stripburger is mega 
Japonais in The Mirage is one of the best restaurants I've been too. American-Japanese fusion. It's fantastic.
