    I assume the airport to go to is "LAS" (Las Vegas). But for the rest I'm clueless.

    Flying out: July 27.
    Coming back: August 5. (if I still have chips I'll change that lol)

    American Airlines want 2169.70 USD for that :eek: :eek:
    My beloved Ryanair doesn't go there. HELP! Anyone who knows a cheaper way/airline??

    Just booked... about € 1,000 return from Shannon...

    Some flights were over € 3,000 though. And yes that was economy. :eek:

    Anyhow. I could have gotten it for € 950, but the extra € 50 gives me better departure times and shorter travel time.

    I ended up using usairways.com, all the others had times around 9 am or worse. And since you need to be there two hours in advance... NOOOO! I'm a hamster guys, and therefore *not* a morning person. Anyhow. 11 am for both flights. Now I'm going home and explain to my wife that the "free" trip is costing more than excepted.

    PokerStars gave me $ 1,000 in my account. Yeah nice. I can withdraw but I won't actually have the money in time. :( Thus, I need to "invest" myself. :D

    I still cannot believe that I am actually going..................

    Fly to Chicago and take America West or Southwest to Vegas.

    Flight from Chicago is ususally only about $129-169.
