About Simon Weatherley
Expertise
I can answer any questions on any Vegas casino and their amenities, I can tell you how to get the best rates and the best rooms and advise on which hotel is best for you. I can advise on all aspects of gaming,and comping. I am an expert in buffet dining (and it shows ;-), on trips from Vegas as well as shows and other entertainments in the City. I can also advise on travel from the UK when to go, what to do and what not to do and can suggest other places to visit alongside a Vegas holiday.

Experience
I have been to Vegas on over a dozen occasions and have stayed in many hotels on and off strip, this includes an almost totally comped 5 night stay at NYNY without gambling more than $25 per hand ! I have almost every book ever published on Las Vegas and continually read everything I can both on and off line on it.

Education/Credentials
I have 6 'O' levels, a HNC, I am ITIL acredited and am a qualified martial arts instructor

Question
my son and nephew are turning 21. we are looking for a good deal on flight and hotel. the date is oct.10-12,2008. some people are coming from NJ(airports are phl or a.c.),Calif(johnwayne or ont),and Tampa fl. .

Answer
Hi Ralph,

What a great idea for a 21st I wish mine had been there still my 40th will be ;-)

Ok my first piece of advice is book the flight and the hotel separately this is the cheapest and the best way of doing it, look at www.Expedia.com www.priceline.com and www.kayak.com for your flights.

Hotels should always be booked directly on the internet using the best deals that you can get. If you book directly with the hotel not only do you get the best rate as there is no middleman but you only pay a deposit up front and unless stated and your plans change you can cancel up to 48 hours before you check in (if it’s a non refundable you cant cancel and have to pay full up front), you can also use any comps you get against the room costs. The rates particularly the first Mirage one are the best I have ever seen but I advise you to book your rooms as soon as possible and the gas prices have pushed them down at the minute but this could change and the offers could be pulled. Don’t worry about the rooms being together as whatever you book will be assigned at check in however you do this and regardless of what the hotel may tell you.

These are the best deals that I can see for October

For the boys party can I suggest that you contact my friend Darin Feth have a look at his site www.nitetours.com and if its something you fancy email him dfeth@nitetours.com tell him Simon sent you and he will see you right.

Need anymore help drop me an email simon@vegasuncovered.com

cheers
Simon
