Try http://www.airline-network.co.uk to get an idea of flight prices, but cheaper flights will involve at least one stopover.

We have flown Aberdeen - Amsterdam - Minneapolis - LV and also via Dallas and Chicago from Heathrow. We prefer to go non-stop from Manchester, but you do pay for it.

Thanks for your replies - have a good trip Ann and John.

We have done Dublin/Los Anglese direct and driven 4 hours to Vegas

Thanks Judibob,we are really looking forward to the holiday

judibob,

Can I make a suggestion? Unless you have a specific reason for going back to Vegas at the end of the holiday, why not leave from LA and save yourself an unnecessary trip? We did a 'travelling' holiday a couple of years back and flew in to LA, up to Lake Havasu, onto Vegas, then Yosemite, South Lake Tahoe and finished off in San Fran, and flew home from there. you can easily get a flight into one city and out of another - just an idea.
We used the http://www.FlightCentre.co.uk to book ours and paid about £450 return.

Cheers,

TC

Seems like we posted similar posts at the same time. My post is directly above yours! If anybody is reading this, please see my post and pass any advice on to me.

Virgin Atlantic allow you to fly into Las Vegas and return from LA. That would save the drive back to Las Vegas.
It will be another 6-8 weeks before they release flights for Sept 08
