Try the usuals ie Expedia and Last Minute.

Aslo try Thompsons they do flight only and I found them pretty cheap.

Teletext and skydeals.co.uk as well.

If going for that long might be worth going to LA and hiring a car and driving to vegas, see the sights on the way ie Grand canyon etc.

Once out of LA the driving is pretty easy.

This applies to all holidays but I got my Vegas trip booked this way:

Start at www.teletext.co.uk and do the searches by destination/venue/etc. See if anything comes up that's worthwhile (some will have websites, most will be phone only but are fine with ABTA/ATOL numbers).

There's also an option on the site to view the teletext TV ads, which will bring up all the specialist companies' deals. After that its a case of phoning round.

I haven't found any method in the last 3 years which brought up a cheaper holiday than this. Expedia/Travelocity are good for flights but generally get pricey when the hotels/cars/etc are added in.

I can't remember the name of the company we eventually booked with this time round but will check out tonight and PM you with the details.

Good luck

Sheriff

If you play at zerorake.com for the next 3 weeks you'll save enough money by not paying outrageous rake fees that you'll be able to pay for your trip, pay for a hooker at the bunny ranch, and pay for a trip to the VD clinic when you return home to the UK.

The cheapest way would be to stow away on a cargo ship.
Then, once off the ship in New York Harbor, stick out your thumb and hitchhike the rest of the way to Vegas.

You could look at a courier job not sure about websites or anything but it may be a possibility to at least get you to the states.

KLM is offering return fares for £260 plus taxes/fees/charges (> £318?) from Gatwick in November if you book within the next two days.

That seems pretty good to me.

DAMMIT!!! i was going to say this CC.
except i was going to say Swim...and then Hitch.

to clarify tim's question....i suspect he is looking for the cheapest CONVENIENT way to get to LV. although the term 'convenient' is relative i suppose.
