Gotta work on hotel and flight today!!! Then I'll be set!
Looks like a pakage from my TA will be my best bet, unless anyone has a better idea. That's usually the route we go, and seems the cheapest for us anyway.

Have a great day all!!!!
before you book anything check out http://www.travelworm.com/. I was pulling some pretty amazing deals for a friend last night...it's worth a look!

cool, I'll take a look, thanx Paige!

three months ago I went to the Southwest Airline site. I wanted to look at flight prices for late October to Vegas. I found that I couldn't look at flights further than four-months out.

So I set a reminder in Outlook for a few months in advance. Again, so I could look for prices for late October.

Well, that reminder popped-up today. Gladly I'd already purchased my ticket last Friday. Cool how it was close to the time I actually needed it. Sad, however, that if I'd purchased last Monday I'd have saved $40....oh well, still going to Vegas Baby

K, been playing with several options and STILL seems package is the way to go out of STL. I did try that travelworm and was ok, but I can't get air for less than 400 it seems with anyone...... sooooo package it is and it will save me about 350. That's cool by me...........

and Hippolyte, I'm with you..... I'm goin to VEGAS BABY

From Chicago is was $300 RT it seemed like once the rumor mill got churning on the dates those tickets went up. It's a conspiracy.

We booked with Allegiant Air out of Peoria,IL for $158.00 RT. They had some pretty good package deals too, but we wanted to book our own hotel at Hooters.

Allegiant flies out of my local airport, and it would have been $20 less for me. But I wanted to fly with my Denver phriends, and I can park at their house. Parking at the local airport wouldn't have been $20, but it's still worth it to not fly alone.

that is a good deal!
I found airfare from SLC for $138 and felt good about that....
cheaper (and mucho faster) than driving!

Does anyone know where I can get a hardy version of the grass skirt? I killed mine last year before I left the street party. I either need to play less or get a better skirt. Guess we know which way I am leaning.

probably much more experienced experts out there but I bought some at Oriental Trading last year - I used them for table skirts for a number of parties and they have held up well - BUT I am thinking a table probably plays less than you so maybe this isn't much of a recommendation.

Well I must admit that I have a tendency to have one to many boat drinks and well the skirt must be sturdy

But I will check 'em out there anything is better than last years model at this point. I still have it but it looks more like left of tinsel than a skirt.

If you are still looking try kayak.com, they seem to have most all airlines and can beat just about everybody.

I can get 3 concerts out of the Oreintal Trading skirts......pretty trashed by the end though.......

Where did you find airfare from SLC for $138? Southwest? The cheapest I found a couple weeks ago was $175, now all the flights home are getting booked and we have decided to drive!
Good for you, the drive sucks!

Yep, it was through Southwest.....I just checked and it's still up.
The flight times are pretty limited, but not bad.....

I tried to get 2 concerts out of a grass skirt once and have decided that I'm going to a strict one skirt and one head gear apparatus per show. If the skirt doesn't get thrashed, there always seems to be food or body fluids on it and we can all agree that is no bueno! So I haven't decided which show to go to yet. Ideally I'd go to both shows, but we'll see!

HAven't been posting too much this week because I've had my hands full . . . As you can see . . .

Dylan Michael was born on Tuesday. He's our second. This is Delaney our daughter and the new BIG sister! Hope all is well.

I've not even thought about how to get all my Parrot-phenalia to the Vegas shows . . . hmmmmmmmmmmm
