I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

Right, we're doing this and we're doing it large. Maxjet to Vegas on the 25th, 5 nights in the Venetian, slum it in the Orleans for 30th/31st to avoid paying the thick end of a grand for two nights, and three more nights on the Strip wherever. Then hit Tunica on the 4th, hang out there for 2 weeks, hop to JFK and Maxjet back from there. That last flight is the best of the lot, Business class one-way JFK to Stansted for $700. It's worth checking Maxjet out any time you're in the US, internal flights are dirt cheap to connect to/from wherever you're going. The most difficult part of the whole thing might be getting to Stansted on Christmas Day, but worst case I can train up the night before and stay in a hotel. I don't know if Santa can fit down the chimney in a Holiday Inn but that's a risk I'm prepared to take.
