Tips For Getting a Discounted Hotel Room

• Cheap hotels are one thing, discounts on fancy hotels are another. Whether you're with family, friends, or on your own, Las Vegas has hotels for every type of trip. Luckily even the fanciest Las Vegas hotels don't need to break the bank if you search for discount Las Vegas Hotel rooms.

Look for package deals with airfare. Often a Las Vegas hotel will subsidize the airfare in order to get you to stay in their hotel. Packages are available directly from some hotels or on travel websites

• Travel midweek - Las Vegas is busiest on the weekends
• Look for last minute hotel rooms. Las Vegas hotels will often offer special promotions when they're not full.
• If no discounts are available, ask for an upgraded room instead of a discount. You're especially likely to get this if you're a member of the Hotel's travel club & Las Vegas hotels have some of the fanciest suite rooms around.

Vegas hotel room prices can fluctuate wildly. Prices depend on how many conventions are in town and how big they are. The big computer convention, Comdex, hits town close to Thanksgiving and it's almost impossible to get a room while it's there. Weekends with big sporting events like the Superbowl (January) and college basketball's "Final 4" (March) will also see a shortage of rooms. If you check room prices and they're high, check the prices for the following week or weekend. They very well could be lower. Rooms are also always higher on Friday and Saturday nights. Monday through Wednesday nights are typically the lowest, providing there are no big conventions in town. However, most limited engagement performers only have shows on Friday and Saturday night.

In addition to the normal room rate, most places also have a reduced casino rate for those who patronize their slot machines and tables. You may even be able to get your room for free.
If you don't want to splurge but you're not on a budget either, there are numerous options available to you. Bally's, Mirage, Monte Carlo, and Paris, are just a few. Your choice could depend on price, location, or amenities. If you're trying to decide on one of several candidates, you may want to check out the comments from past visitors on the Las Vegas On-Line Website.

If you're taking kids along, check out Circus Circus, Excalibur, and Treasure Island. If you're taking kids along and you're on a budget, Circus Circus usually has the lowest rates of the three.
