GO CLUBBING IN LA AND VEGAS OR FOLLOW THE SEX & THE CITY LIFESTYLE ON ONE OF JETSAVE’S NEW ‘INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEYS’
Go clubbing with the stars in Las Vegas and check out the homes of the stars in Hollywood on one of six themed Inspirational Journeys now available from top US tours specialist Jetsave in its new Jetsave Journeys brochure (0871 664 0293 www.jetsave.com )
Party animals will love LA Stars & Vegas Bars. This Inspirational Journey combines Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the ultimate West Coast journey for celebrity seekers, touring LA’s Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills and Bel Air estates and playing the casinos of Sin City by day, before hitting the hotspots after dark.
Join celebrity partygoers like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Justin Timberlake at some of the most glamorous LA and Vegas bars and clubs, including TAO and PURE. Jetsave provides VIP entrance to these and other famous haunts, to fast track partygoers past the notorious queues.
Accommodation is equally chic – from the fashionable Hotel Andaz West Hollywood on Sunset Strip to the fabulous Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Prices start from £1,479 per person for a nine-day trip departing London Heathrow on 13 November 2010 and include flights, room only accommodation and a full club and day time itinerary.
On another Jetsave Inspirational Journey you can follow New York’s Sex and the City lifestyle with Vegas club nights thrown in on Cosmo’s & Casinos (from £1,819pp). Trippers will still get to fast track it into TAO and PURE in Las Vegas but will also take the Sex & The City Hotspots tour in New York, stopping at the Magnolia Bakery like Carrie and Miranda for a cup cake and enjoying a Cosmo at Scout, the bar owned by Aidan, Carrie’s ex.
Alternatively, indulge in a seven-day helping of Vegas shows on Simply Vegas (from £1,539 per person for 20 November 2010 departures).
This seven-day ‘show-time’ journey around Sin City sandwiches the dynamism of Cirque du Soleil’s mix of acrobats, drama and music between a ‘Rat Pack’ big band music experience and the glitz of a Caesars Palace show featuring an international megastar.
The new Inspirational Journeys are themed trips, tailored to people who like to play hard on holiday. Each of the six action-packed itineraries is designed to be taken individually rather than in groups but incorporates the in-destination support of Jetsave’s local USA teams. Check the itineraries at www.jetsave.com and call 0871 664 0293 to book a Jetsave Inspirational Journey.
These are among 45 Jetsave Journeys of North America, including 25 escorted tours, eight self-drive trips and six cruises.

and Twisted Pictures for Second Year to Create Ultimate Haunted Attraction
Two all new haunted houses themed after the legendary SAW horror franchise and popular horror film MY BLOODY VALENTINE.
LAS VEGAS– It’s time to play a game….. Fright Dome takes over The Adventuredome at Circus Circus beginning Friday, Oct. 1. For the second year, Fright Dome will partner with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to theme SAW, one of its five haunted houses. Additionally, Lionsgate’s MY BLOODY VALENTINE will reveal its horror house this fall. This season Fright Dome is guaranteed to terrify even the bravest of visitors with all new themes and scare zones.
Fright Dome’s houses bring together plots from various installments of the legendary horror movie franchise SAW, and the newly added popular horror film, MY BLOODY VALENTINE. Interactive, handcrafted replicas of the “games” set by Jigsaw in the popular SAW saga will be among the many things guests have to look forward to this year. MY BLOODY VALENTINE is currently out on DVD and Lionsgate is expected to release SAW 3D nationwide this Halloween.
“We’ve always had one of the top haunted attractions in the nation and partnering with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures for a second year will make it bigger and better than ever,” said Jason Egan, owner and creator of Fright Dome. “The SAW and MY BLOODY VALENTINE films cut to the core of human fear and we’re exploiting that to its fullest potential.”
“We are honored for SAW to be a part of Fright Dome for the second year in a row, and eagerly anticipate the reveal of the MY BLOODY VALENTINE haunted house. With the seventh installment of SAW slated to be released this Halloween in 3-D, fans will be immersed in SAW like never before, both through the 3D theatrical experience and in Fright Dome.
“We are excited to bring the characters and settings of both movie going experiences to the Las Vegas market place, where people from all over the word can take part in the horror,” added President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions Jason Constantine.
Egan adds to the excitement and terror of Fright Dome this year by adding three of the world’s most notorious and macabre magicians in the all-new “Show of Magic & Horror.”
Guests can enjoy a combination of shock, illusion, unsettling conjuring and non-stop mayhem from Dixie Dooley, Kevin James and Dan Sperry.
Dark and fog-filled, Fright Dome sets a chilling atmosphere with roaming characters, high-powered strobes, multi-colored lasers and five acres of fright made up of all new extreme scare zones, rides, attractions and five haunted houses. No place left unhaunted, demons will descend from the ceiling as guests walk underneath.
“The Adventuredome and Fright Dome partnership has exceeded our expectations and continues to be one of the must-see, haunted attractions in the country year after year,” said Don Thrasher, president and chief operating officer of Circus Circus.
Fright Dome is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 1-31 on select nights. General admission tickets are $34.95 and fast pass tickets are available for an additional $15 which allow express line entry for all five haunted houses.
ABOUT FRIGHT DOME
Created from the mind of hauntrepreneur Jason Egan, Fright Dome at Circus Circus has been horrifying the masses since 2003. Egan’s 12 years in the industry and passion for all things terrifying culminate to make Fright Dome one of the top haunted attractions in the nation.
Each year more than 60,000 people visit the popular attraction. Spread throughout five acres, this haunted theme park features dark, fog-filled attractions complete with ghoulish and gore-clad professional actors. Not appropriate for children under 12, Fright Dome includes roaming scare actors, high-powered strobes, multi-colored lasers and eerie sound effects.
