I've scheduled my appointment at the US Embassy to get my visa renewed next month. I hope to buy the plane ticket before the year is over. I'm going to San Francisco on march 12th to visit family there and then go to Vegas on the 14th, in your opinion what would be the best way for me to get from San Francisco to Las Vegas on the 14th?

 

Plane ticket is 100 US and bus is cheaper, but I don't know if it's a good idea is there train?

I am so glad my visa days are over !! It was such a mission to get them.

I dreaded it

 

There is an AMTRAK train from San Fran to LV but they take you by bus to the train in SF and then stop in Flagstaff Arizona and take you by bus to LV. There are no trains directly to LV. It costs $85 and takes 12 hours.

Not worth it. Rather [ay a little extra take the flight.

Where are you staying? Sharing with anyone?

Yeap I agree, it's better to spend a little bit more on a plane ticket that only costs $105 (round trip) and it takes 1 hours and a half, than save $15 and spend 12 hours in a train/bus...

 

There is also greyhound buses but they cost the same as the plane ticket... if you want to check it out https://www.greyhound.com/

Fares including taxes & fees:

 

VX (Virgin America): 114,70 USD

UA (United Airlines): 114,70 USD

 

But if you don't mind flying with an extra stop you can fly cheaper:

 

B6 (Jetblue): 80,40 USD (flight will go from SFO to LGB where you'll take the flight to LAS)

 

Although it can also be more expensive:

 

DL (Delta: 125,40 USD (SFO-LAX-LAS)

 

 

If you have time to spare you could take Jetblue, they are quite good and have rather cheap fares... If you want to fly direct you can fly with VX to enjoy a decent service but if you want to fly with a Star Alliance member you can take United for the same fare.

So I'm going to try to book my room sometime in the coming weeks. I'd love to stay at Caesers but can't since I'm not 21. The closest hotel that will allow an 18 year old is the MGM Grand. I will probably end up doing that, but I'd love to do Caesers. Or something a little bit closer.

I'm only 19, going on my own and in the same pickle! I'm booking the hilton i think, the reason being is they have the monorail there so it's quite easy to stop near caesars in the flamingo hotel.

[Tyler1991]

Yeah, I was thinking about the Hilton before I found out MGM allowed 18. I'm still not 100% sure yet. I'll look into that monorail thing though. It seems like it will make things easier.

 

Looks like all these have the monorail.

Includes MGM.

 

Now I'll just look at some prices.

Yeah that's what I've been doing comparing prices. When are you going??

[Tyler1991]

I'll arrive the 14th and depart the 17th.

well I've been looking for a room mate from the forum to stay with me so it makes it cheaper for me, I'm traveling from the UK and flights are pretty expensive plus my ticket was was £380, so, i did consider the imperial palace because it's really cheap but it's 21. All the 18+ hotels were quite expensive. It's only a suggestion if you want to, i will be staying from 14th - 18th but i don't mind staying 1 day on my own.

[Tyler1991]

Yeah, that'd be okay. My bank account is pretty low as it is lol. It's a good thing I can't gamble because I'd probably lose it all and have to sell my show tickets lol.

[Dylan Callender]

yuup me too. well my email address is dylan19@hotmail.co.uk send me an email on some hotels and I'll do some research on some too, then we can see which one will be the best for us.

[celinedream]

thanks Jane and Stijn for the advice, i think you're right it's better to spend a little more to have more time in Vegas I'm staying at Bally's with 2 friends from the 14th- to 18th

 

I want to go see "O" on the 17th...but i don't want to go alone, anyone interested in joining me?

[Celinex]

I'm planning on going to see the new show either mid april or june next year.I stayed at the Mirage last time I went in 2007.I'm looking on staying either the Caesars Palace or the Mirage.Just looking for the best deals.Will be flying from the UK.

[Alex_Incognito]

I'm seriously reconsidering staying at Caesar's. The Wynn, or encore, or Aria look amazing!

[nuts2you]

I see there are a lot of specials going on this time of year. I think I might go with SAA afterall. How special their prices are, I'm not sure though...

[ennostiel]

Yeah, noone knows...

 

I'll soon be scheduling my appointment to get my visa to the US, sometime in December. They should give it to me without any problems, or at least that's what I'm hoping for

[celinedream]

Yeah, it's not very nice of our neighbor to do this but the USA requests visas for all Mexican citizens

I always thought that you could go to the USA for holidays but apparently I'm wrong

 

 

That reminds me that I need to go to our townhall and order myself a new passport, my old one is expiring in the beginning of 2011...
