I'm gong through a bit of a dilemma here and I'm looking for some advice to help make my decision easier.

I originally had a flight from Winnipeg to Las Vegas on April 16th with an 1 1/2 hour layover in Calgary. Delta went and changed that to a early departure at 10 a.m. instead of 1 p.m. and a 4 1/2 hour layover in Calgary.

I'm not too thrilled about having a layover that long so I'm looking into possibly changing my flight.

I found a flight that leaves the day before at 8:30 a.m. and has a connection in Minneapolis for 1 1/2 hours. I'd get to Vegas at 1 p.m. instead of 5:44 p.m. like the original flight. My hotel would be an extra $100 CDN which isn't bad. I just realized last night through that if my flight happened to get delayed that I might end up missing my connection depending on how far the gates are.

There's also a non-stop flight on the Monday that leaves at 5 p.m. and gets to Vegas at 6:30 p.m. The hotel would be another $100 for the night. I'm not sure though if 9 nights is too long for Vegas since I'll be leaving on the 23rd. I'll be going for WrestleMania so my Friday night, Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday and Monday evenings will be taken I'm not a gambler either but was going to spend $20 a day on the slots anyway.

Should I just stick with my changed booking to be safe or consider the other flights?
