Flights.com

April - 11 - 2008 Reporter: Rick

I just recently came across Flights.com, which is surprising to me as they have been in business for about 10 years. While most everyone is aware of the big boys in the online travel, such as Travelocity or Expedia, not everyone can say the same about Flight.com.

Deals on Las Vegas hotels

April - 7 - 2008 Reporter: Rick

A few months back I wrote a post on whether Travelocity was worth the bother. At the time, I definitely could not find rates that made it a sure winner.

What a difference a few months makes. I don’t know if Travelocity has bought a lot hotel rooms, or they have negotiated a better deal, but it seems that the rates they are offering are significantly better than what you will find at competing websites.

Have you used Tickco.com?

I recently returned from Las Vegas and I have to admit I committed one of my cardinal sins; I bought my tickets at the box office and paid at least 20% too much. Granted this was a last minute trip, but it is always recommended to buy tickets before you go. Not only will you save some money but you will guarantee yourself a spot.

 I usually recommend sites like or StubHub.com today we will look at a new service. Actually new may not be the right term for Tickco.com as they have been around for over a decade but nonetheless they are new to MeOnNeon.

Looking over their inventory I have to admit that I am quite impressed. They do offer a complete line of Las Vegas shows but their specialty is broadway show tickets. Add to this a complete sporting event line-up and you should be able to find just about any show your heart desires.

The best tools to help you book the best Las Vegas vacation ever.

November - 19 - 2007 Reporter: Rick

It is true that there are multiple ways to book your flight and hotel to Las Vegas. As I travel there quite frequently, I like to stay up to date with all the latest gadgets that spring up on the web.

The best online tool I have seen and used in quite some time is hotelscombined.com. They have put together a nice search tool that will search something like 30 travel websites at once.

The neat thing about it is you can search by city or even individual hotels. So say you know you were travelling to Las Vegas but you hadn’t decided on a hotel you could use the search box below.

Or, if you knew you were staying at the Bellagio you could use the box below.

I use this tool all the time and I find that the results they give are quite good. I always take the lowest price and see if I can beat it someplace else, but to be quite honest they search so many sites at once they don’t leave a lot of places to continue your search at. Having said that definitely go to the individual hotels website and see if you can find a better deal, as you can see with my post yesterday sometimes the hotels do offer discount rates right on their own sites.
