I can buy a load of PAYG phones beforehand, register them and then distribute them to anyone wanting one if you want. BTW I am in Vegas now until December.
There are some decent deals, $40 will get the phone and 750 minutes. $70 with unlimited minutes and text.

does this include calls to the UK?

Not exactly. You can add UK calls to it and it costs $5c / min more than usual. But you need a balance on the phone so the unlimited is no good (ie not all you have to pay). If you had the per minute package you would just eat your minutes quicker. You can receive UK calls and all USA mobiles have a landline number so anyone with an international calling plan or skype in the UK can call you for cheap.

Just a little note to Paulie_D and RichEO... I beleive the country code for the US is +1 not +01.
And a note to everyone else... you may all know this, but some of you may not -
When saving any ones number in a mobile, inc. UK numbers, if you always use the +Country Code format (ie. UK is +44, US is +1), you never need to worry about using the correct International access code when you abroad.
Paulie_D:
I got this from BT
Calling the UK from the US : 00 + 1 + City Area Code + Number
Calling the US from the UK : 011 + 44 + City Area Code + Number
Most modern phones and calling plans will allow you save numbers in the format Alan suggested (with the +) and the phone will work it out.
EDIT: forgot to mention that (AFAIK) you have to drop the first "0" from a UK mobile number when dialling it from abroad just like you do any other UK area code.

I posted this on the "Bigger Bar" thread but some may have missed it so here it is again.
My cousin, who lives in Park City, Utah, will be coming down to Las Vegas to spend a few days with me from 13th-17th. He is also going to buy a pre-paid mobile for me which roughly gets the following.
$50/£32 approx. (max cost, not sure what the local taxes are but not more than this) including taxes for a new phone and minutes as below.
200 minutes to use over 30 days from the day of the first call. Texts are 1 minute (equiv.) each.
The phone can either be discarded when you leave or used again on your next visit, you just add additional mins when needed. I can"t really see any of us being on the phone for 3 hours but for those that want one it"s a pretty cheap option.
If anyone would like to pre-prder one of these he will get as many as is required.
Once I have them in Las Vegas I will pre-assign each phone to each buyer and send the numbers to you prior to your departure from the UK so you can give it out to whomever needs to know it.
Let me know by PM asap.
