Just some simple basics
Check Trusted!
People are creatures of habbit. We know that. IF you're used to booking via a certain travel agent, and feel safety in that, then its unlikely you'll trust us just becuase we're called Trusted! However, if there ever was a place to buy the component parts of your holiday, Vegas is it. You may be paying more purely for the sake of someone arranging a coach from the airport to your hotel. Even if you got a taxi, it will be around 20 dollars. People have taken our advice before and have thanked us profusely. People have also ignored our advice and stuck with a hotel picked for them and have come back to us and said 'I should've listened to you, we ended up miles from anywhere'.
Our Top Hotels are certainly not a comprehensive list of hotels in Vegas, but if you are there for the first time we are certain that you will find a hotel in the best location for you. If you want to splash out the cash, you'll find The Wynn and The Cosmopolitan in our picks. If you want budget you'll find Hooters and The Stratosphere. And if you want somewhere luxurious but at a good price you'll find Paris and The Golden Nugget. And many more. All of these are examples, and there are more to chose from. Click on our site and make sure you follow the advice on free cancellation below.
Getting to and from Vegas from anywhere in the world couldn't be easier. But perhaps it could be cheaper! Before you book with the travel agenet, check your own flight search and see if you can save some money. If you want ease, click 'prefer direct' but if you're happy enjoying the journey for a while, often an indirect flight will save you lots of money, and US airports are small towns with plenty to do!

Flying in and out
Get Cashback!
its simple. Book through Quidco, and you could get a chunk of money back. If you've never used a cashback website its very very simple. Simply go to Quidco, then click to a website from there - provided you don't click away or turn your computer off. You can save a great deal of money this way.
Tax and Resort Fees
Tax. Like all US states Nevada has their own tax added onto hotel costs, and it is perhaps the number one negative comment on all hotels across the country. Under your booking price it will say 'not including X % Tax'. If you want to know what it is, simple maths - divide your room cost by 100 and multiply by the tax %. That's how much extra you'll pay.
Resort Fee. On top of your tax many hotels now include a 'resort fee' which may include things like Free Wi Fi. It's commonly accepted to be nonsense, but hey, most charge it so factor that in. Its normally only a couple of dollars a day per person, and you can try and ask for them to remove it if you like! (Good luck).
Use it! Take a look, or ask at reception, what your resort fee includes, and make sure you use the perks! If they don't work - such as wi fi - then be sure to point it out, as you may get your money back (if they don't fix it).
