When it comes to Las Vegas, many of The Strip’s iconic hotels are household names, so having a thorough knowledge of the properties is key to ensuring you give your client exactly what they want. A family, for example, might
be more at home at Circus Circus or Excalibur, whereas those wanting a bit of glitz and glamour would be more suited to the Bellagio or the Aria. Vegas is big business as
groups of friends travel together for fun-filled holidays, and it’s a popular destination for stag and hen dos.
Plenty to do
The city has a lot to offer in the entertainment stakes, whether clients want to take their chances in the casinos, marvel at a musical show or act, or head out for some retail therapy. One thing not to be missed
is a trip to the Grand Canyon and add-on providers such as Attraction World and Do Something Different offer myriad options by aircraft, helicopter and jeep.
Arrive in style To make it a trip of a lifetime, recommend your client arrives and leaves in celebrity style by suggesting limousine transfers for £199. A helicopter ride above The Strip will also help to make it a trip to remember. Do Something Different offers a number of options including its Las Vegas Strip Highlights flight, which costs from £53 If, like Mystery Shopper, your
clients are looking to sample the nightlife in Vegas, recommend they invest in a V Card, which gives VIP access and free admission to nightclubs such as Tao, Haze, LAX and Rain (£65 through Attraction World).

Mega FAM for mega agents The legendary Gold Medal Mega FAM trips never disappoint. A 40-strong party recently flew out from four UK regional airports mid-November, and headed to four wonders
of the east – Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok and Sri Lanka – before meeting up at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai for our Access All Areas conference (as well as a few other treats!). We pulled out all the stops, and the lovely agents that we were lucky enough to share the experience with all had a fabulous time; as always it was a pleasure to host and we look forward to many more to come! Search for ‘GoldMedalAgents’ on Facebook to find out what we all got up to.
