mikeman Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I've got a trip to vegas planned in may - I was going southwest using miles both ways but just switched my return to sun country because it's so damn cheap. If I valued the miles my flight on SW was costing roughly $130 one way, sun country is $59 and the times are a little better. After taxes and fees sun country is flying me from las vegas to MSP for $43, that's crazy. I know they try to make it up with bag fees but I'll just stash my bag under the seat and they wont get a dime extra. It's a non stop too on sun country.

Sun country is pretty good, it's a late morning flight so it should be ok. They're way better than spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used SC to get to Philly. Will say it went smoothly, though I didn't check any baggage either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How closely did they check your carryon, do they make people put it in the box to check the dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the exact dimensions of mine, but it was a pretty standard roller bag and they paid no mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These prices are crazy, I remember way back in the 90's I would always go on MLT charters, flights were usually from $199 to $239 RT and I thought it was cheap. then I'd stay at the westward Ho for an extra $50-60 for 3 nights.

I also stayed at the circus circus as well as the stardust manor rooms a few times. Then you'd get that coupon book from the Ho for stuff like 99 cents bisquits and gravy as well as a shitload of donuts. They also had either a bloody mary or champaign fountain going - that hit the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 Then right next door from the Ho was the slots o fun that had that nasty 1/2 lb hot dog for 99 cents, those would go down hard when you're hung over - but we did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomorrow's Newspaper Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Caesar Rewarts charter - $45 a person for flight and room (some trips are 3 nights, some 4.) Includes 1 alcoholic drink each way and a bag of snacks. When you get off the plane they give you your room keys and players card and they take the luggage from the airport right to your room. Pretty sweet deal. Just none to Vegas. Went to Laughlin last year, doing Tahoe this year and maybe Atlantic City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
