My family were headed to Vegas the 20th I booked tickets for that day payed and got my confirmation code. It said I booked for the next the 21st tried calling and canceling they told me non refundable and I couldn't book a different date. $83 Dollars down the drain and a disappointed 10 year old. Never will I go or recommend this place to anybody.
