British
Airways has announced a new daily Las Vegas route, launching 25th
October 2009, which increases the airline's services to the US
to nineteen direct non-stop flights daily.
The
new Las
Vegas flights will be operated exclusively from Heathrow's
Terminal 5 by a three-class Boeing 777, which will offer World
Traveller (economy class), World Traveller Plus (premium economy
class) and the award-winning Club World (business class), which
features seats that convert to 180-degree flat beds.
Las
Vegas calls itself The Entertainment Capital of the World, with
huge hotel complexes lining the world famous Las Vegas Strip.
British Airways' range of Las
Vegas hotels varies from simple 2-star accommodation up to
opulent 5-star hotels. From the fountains of the Bellagio Hotel,
to the world famous shows at the MGM Grand and the full-size golf
course and luxury shopping mall situated at the new Wynn Resort
- visitors to the city can enjoy a wealth of Las
Vegas sightseeing.
As
part of a British Airways fly-drive, travellers can book a car
rental with Avis and take a drive from Vegas to Arizona through
desert scenery and towering mountain ranges. For the more adventurous
Nevada visitor, Las Vegas tandem skydives or Lake Mead kayaking
trips are also on offer.
British
Airways is proud to add Las Vegas to its already extensive route
network of US cities (which already includes major city destinations
such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle
and Houston) as well as providing holiday makers with hotels,
car rental and tours across America, to help ensure travellers
experience great
USA holidays.
