9 nights staying 2 nights in Copenhagen and 7 nights in Las Vegas for £414.99pp including all flights and hotels.
This deal is based on 2 people flying out of London Luton on 24th January and returning 3rd February and staying for 2 nights in Copenhagen then flying to Las Vegas and staying there for 7 nights.
There are plenty of flights to chose from, the flights to Las Vegas from Copenhagen are super cheap and the flights to Copenhagen from London are literally pennies so if these dates aren't good for you there are plenty of dates available from January through until March!
Trip breakdown
24th January - Land into Copenhagen around 1130am and explore Copenhagen
25th January - Explore Copenhagen
26th January - Check out of the hotel early, hop on the train and check in for your flight to Vegas
27th January - 1st February - Explore Vegas
2nd February - Check out the hotel and head to the airport to head back to Copenhagen, land in Copenhagen around 9am on 3rd February and relax in the airport before your flight home around 2pm
Copenhagen - The airport is only a 13 minute journey into the heart of Copenhagen and the central train station, it's best to pick up a 72 hour metro ticket which costs around £20pp and will cover you the whole time you're in Copenhagen including your journey to and from the airport.
The hotel I've chosen is Hotel Nebo and I've chosen this because this is where I stayed when I went and couldn't fault it at all, the hotel is a 2 minute walk to central station which is handy to get to and from the airport. The hotel offers rooms with shared bathrooms cheaper than the room I have chosen as personally I like my private bathrooms, if you want to save a few ££ choose a shared bathroom!
Make sure you visit the famous Little Mermaid and the yummy Copenhagen Street Food, the amount of food stalls there is crazy and it all looks so good. We stumbled across the Green District which is so strange and I recommend visiting just so you can wander round and experience it! I've never seen anything like it! Tivoli gardens is a lovely place to visit, and if you love rides it's somewhere you will want to go, it is quite expensive (around £30) if you want to buy the ticket including the rides or you can just buy an entrance pass (around £10) and buy individual tickets for the rides when you're in there.
Las Vegas - It is easier to grab a taxi outside the airport to hop to the hotel, this shouldn't even take 20 minutes to reach the hotel and should only cost around $15. Las Vegas is an amazing city, so much to see and do, don't forget to keep an eye on your watch, the casinos don't have clocks and you can get very easily carried away!
I've chosen Harrahs hotel because I've stayed here twice, it's a nice simple hotel with a great location right in the centre of the strip and the rooms are a decent size, clean and cheap. There are plenty of hotels to choose from on the strip however I feel this one is excellent value for money!
Price breakdown
Copenhagen flights booked through Ryanair - £27.96 - £13.98 each
Copenhagen hotel booked through Expedia using voucher code NEWYEAR2016 for 10% off - £103.62 - £51.81 each
Las Vegas flight booked through Norwegian - £507.40 - £253.70 each
Las Vegas hotel booked through Lowcostusa - £191 - £95.50 each
Total price for 2 people - £828.98
Total price each - £414.99
Remember some European cities require city tax to be paid in cash when checking out of the hotel, it doesn't cost much around €2pppn. In Las Vegas hotels charge resort fees which can add up over the time staying there so make sure you keep money aside to pay your resort fees these depend on the star of the hotel and facilities.
This deal also only includes hand luggage but personally I like checking a suitcase between two people if you have to pay when going transatlantic, with Norwegian it is £25 per bag per sector so an extra £50 per bag return, and Ryanair to Copenhagen is £30 return. If you wanted to add a bag between two people you must add £40 onto the total price of the holiday but if you want to add a bag each you must add £80 each. You have a 10kg hand luggage and hand bag each so unless you want to do a lot of shopping over in Vegas you can easily get away with just one bag between two people.
This trip is just a guide and you can change how long you're in each place for depending on what you prefer.

If you want to get away from the gaudy and noisy strip hotels, try Tuscany Suites just round the corner from the strip. Lovely and quiet with lovely landscaped grounds and LOADS of self parking meaning you can come and go whenever you like without having to pay for valet parking and getting stuck in horrendous queues getting into and out of strip hotels. Massive rooms and very good prices.
It's like an oasis of peace compared to most strip hotels. Good on site food offers too.

Thanks guys. Apologies for the late reply, stuff going on. Dilemmas about holidays with kids and holidays without kids!! Found decent Oct half term flights to Miami now, so we may end up doing that instead and put Vegas off until next year and just head to Florida again. I wish these airlines wouldn't sell such cheap flights, I'm going to end up bankrupting myself with trips to America that were 'too cheap to ignore'!!

Also, we had a suite at the Aria-best hotel I've EVER stayed in! Expensive, but you can't go to Vegas and watch the pennies when you're there-enjoy it, you're in Vegas!!

The main issues which stick out for me:
a) 7 nights in Vegas is far too long
b) January is totally the wrong time of year to visit Vegas
You will be pulling your hair out after about day 3

There are day trip tours - e.g. Grand Canyon - that can pad out the days. Albeit at extra cost.

Rubbish! We stayed 5 nites in Vegas last Jan for the Missus 40th, and couldn't fit it all in! What with Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Downtown, shows, visiting many (but not all) the hotels-you do realize they're not just hotels, nearly every one has a theme or show inside-or do you think people go there just to stay in their hotel?!! I'm thinking me going back this year to do the things we couldn't fit in!! GREAT FIND!!

Is there any chance you could PM me with your email address as I would like to draw on your travel knowledge and gain a few tips. Thank you

Ive been both and I think Orlando is better for shopping, I was in Orlando last month just before Black Friday and they had loads of pre Black Friday sales on and there was tons of vouchers and coupon book that you can get from hotels etc, Vegas is good for shopping but Orlando has bigger outlets and a few malls! If you are going mainly for shopping id say Orlando!!

Never been to Orlando, but going to Vegas just before Christmas got the best deals, Macys were stacking multiple offers - my wife got a few £400 Marc Jacobs handbags in Macys for around $170 each, from $400. Some of the outlets had extra special deals on we hadn't seen so low before on a previous visit.
They have a very big outlet north of the strip with the best stores, and one that isn't quite as good (but still worth a look) south, near McCarran airport. The Fashion Show Mall opposite the Wynn is probably the best shopping mall there with all the big department stores and big chain stores.

You'll need some luggage - coming home at least, Vegas is a bargain for clothes, was there for a week just before Christmas and the shopping was amazing - Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, The North Face, Helly Hansen, Under Armour and Lacoste clothing was around 1/3 of the UK RRP in the Macy's sales and outlet stores. Getting a better hotel in Vegas shouldn't cost you much unless there's a big conference or other gathering (Rodeos etc.) pushing the prices up on certain weeks.

Have you been to Orlando to compare? We're considering a ladies shopping trip next year, because whenever we're in Orlando with the kids I want to shop but they have other plans, and the number of malls and outlet stores is out of this world! I'm just wondering if Vegas is on a par with Orlando, or better/worse?

Just to echo what someone else said... remember you'll have to pay extra to take luggage on the Ryanair flight if you plan on taking a large suitcase with you. I'd probably be happy with hand luggage on the way out, and take a folding holdall for all the stuff I buy at the US outlets for the way back, so just one-way luggage.

That's where we stayed recently. Using the steps at the rear of the station brings you out to near enough the hotels front door. The breakfast was a great start to the day too.
I would also recommend the Copenhagen pass as it not only gives free transport it includes many tourist attractions in that price.
Copenhagen is worth visiting but I'll pass on Vegas. Not for me.

I really like the swimming pool at DGI Byen in Copenhagen. http://www.dgi-byen.com/the_swim_centre/ If you leave the platforms at the main station from the opposite end to the main ticket hall, its just over the road. There is a pool for swimming where you do 100m laps, rather than swimming up and down in lanes. It has a diving pool thats open all the time - not just when there is a specific session. There is a springboard, a little trampoline and a climbing wall above it. There are also pools for lounging around, and a sauna.

Have you added on the 7 night resort fee for Harrahs.
At $32.48 per night that adds up to an extra £150 to pay.
Plus most people will need decent sized luggage,adding on another fair amount to total cost.
Vegas can,and probably will be freezing in Jan.
Having said all that,it is not a bad price....but there could be at least another couple of hundred to add to that total.

Stayed 2 years ago at the Bellagio and loved it, for me hotel location is everything and this place is perfect. I highly recommend going for Halloween, it's mind blowing!

Bellagio is the best hotel in our opinion, stayed there every time we go. was a bit nervouse as it had been 3 years and lots of people said it was to busy and full of old people (we are both 30), it was the same as the other times we stayed. Nice layout and classy, pool is lively but not to crazy and some nice restaurant and very few kids!! Highly recommend Lago and to ask for a table outside, amazing view of the fountains while you eat also contact concierge and ask them to put you on the guest list of Hyde, go early evening if you prefer quiet pre-evening drinks.
We also stayed at the Cosmo this time, amazing room (Can see how Vegas hotels have really changed in 17 years), but a totally different 5* experience. Pools much more party feel and drinks much cheaper than MGM props. loved it, secret pizza rocked and Holstens has to be best burger on strip at the moment.
Loved both but Bellagio wins for us because of its charm. your have an amazing time.

Really, I've never had a problem with harrahs and I've stayed there twice, stayed in the Venetian for a few nights last time I went too, was stunning! Vegas is fab though!

Apologies, read 27 - 1 in your post and return flight at 13:30pm but nights are more important that days in Vegas! I'd settle for the D over harrahs, used the $1 cash point in Casino royal as I messed up with a cash card while there, both casinos are nasty, even compared to downtown.

Beware the Ryanair check-in fee of £45 if not completed early.
Apart from that - great find.

I got to say that's a lot of effort for only 4 days in Vegas and Harrahs isn't the nicest hotel on the strip. I'd opt for the Linq, flamingo or Rio or D (latter both off strip) for low budget, Mirage, golden nugget (downtown), PH,encore or Pallazo for mid and either cosmo or Bellagio for High.(and center strip)

It's 7 nights in Vegas! The D hotel was actually showing cheaper than harrahs but can't beat harrahs for value for money!
