how best to go from london to vegas? (pref by plane)

Noah,

It is certainly possible to book into one city and then create another booking on a discount domestic carrier.

But you either need a long layover, or absorb the risk of missing the connection. Airlines are not really sympathetic about helping you rebook a missed connection when it is not all on the same ticket and itinerary.

And if john kane is thinking about checking a bag, similar risk applies (they'll only send it to a local address, and won't be help getting it to Vegas). This might be of real concern because currently British airports are only allowing one carry-on bag. This is supposed to change in January of 2008, but who knows?
