This may sound stupid but the airlines still send paper tickets? In the mail?
Here in Toronto and all of Canada we get an email giving us the confirmation number and 24 hours before the flight you can check in online or when you get to the airport you print out your boarding pass at the kiosk and then just go up to the counter to check your bags. If you do not need to check any, you just go straight to the USA Customs line. I believe if you want paper tickets to be sent to you there is a service charge for each ticket. But I am not sure. I am pretty sure Air Canada and Westjet no longer do this.

We in Canada pre-clear USA Customs at our airport, not at the airport in the States that you are arriving at. We have to still take our bags with us that are being checked when going through Customs, but then after Customs we then walk over and hand the bags to a handler who will put them on a conveyor belt and then we proceed through security clearance.

We never get a paper ticket either. It's just a confirmation number.

I would love to go now BUT too hot. I cannot handle 100+ degrees of scorching heat.
I am contemplaying Ocober.
I do the same when I get my email confirmation, I print it out too and look at it off and on up til when I go.

Now Jaqui you gotta start watching some Vegas themed movies to get really in the mood.

It's not very often you get a 'real' ticket nowadays. But because we're booked into the V-Room (Virgin Lounge) we needed tickets for that and our luggage tags, etc. We can still check in online though.

Besides Vegas movies I've been watching the travel channel for all the sights of Vegas too Y2J2006!

Well Jacqui as you know I will be arrived a couple of days in advance of you in order to warm up all the slots for your mum to hit on lol
I have a huge collection of Vegas themed movies going all the way back to the 1940's and all the Travel Channel shows recorded from tv so I have been programming my own 24/7 Vegas channel for weeks now!!

I wish I had that many movies JR7110! Although I don't pay much attention now to the few that I watch - I'm too busy admiring the scenery! lol ... I hope you get a few hits on those slots before loosening them back up for my mum! :D

See you soon Matthew! http://bestsmileys.com/sports3/12.gif

I wish you were going at the same time Andrea! Who would believe that the only time we met was in a different country?! One of these days it'll be in Vegas!

Can't wait to meet you, Jacqui. But we'll have to sneak off to a secluded place to talk so Greg won't be cackling at our accents. LOL

I'm really looking forward to meeting you Lori and Del. This is gonna be fun!!!

Thanks for not saying that I have an accent Matthew, I've taken enough stick in the past for my "non-accent" - I'm so pleased you didn't notice it!

Jacqui is in for a real treat - I bought that magazine on ebay because you mentioned it Lori and it was worth every penny....the article alone was fantastic and the accompanying photos were some I had never seen published anywhere before.

Oh, I wish you had let me know. I would have sent it to you to read and then you could have shlepped it to Vegas and left it at the front desk of Jacqui's hotel for her.

No worries. I'm driving in. Just another thing to go in the trunk of the car, along with all my necessities: bottled water for the room, snacky treats, makeup. Hmmm, I better make sure I rent a car with good axles.

No problema. I'm friendly with the owner of the rental agency. She usually upgrades me for no charge. If not, I'll rent a U-Haul trailer on my way to the airport.
