The new program will work for some & not for others
We need to choose what works best for our needs/wants & talk with your wallet
Hopefully the program will change in a year but then losing regular pax is also a bonus for them as they will not be shelling out for the O Club perks
SM does not work for us
YMMV
We do not take a lot of clothes with us & having the drawers in the night stands is helpful for folded items
The hanging space is limited but we double hang things clip the slacks on the hanger & shirt over it so it takes a bit less space
laundry room is a blessing & I do not mind going there then I can pack less
We did not find it an issue
There is a list on Carmen's blog

Are you booking with Virgin ?
They do have the flights from OSL to LAS so your bags should be through checked
I try to avoid LHR & would use KLM via AMS
but if your goal is to fly on Virgin looks like LHR is your option
W like Springhill Suites it is not far from the Basilica
They have a good breakfast buffet & close to restaurants/bars etc
Not sure what prices are now all the hotels everywhere seem to be expensive
In the past CR with the gratuity was added to the spa treatment but they used the Free Spa credit for the TOTAL
They also tried to get more gratuity from you by leaving the gratuity line blank
I sometime would give the person a cash tip if they were really good
I believe it changed in the past couple of months to 180 days & you lose the $250 Admin fee
