Vegas deals?

Travelocity, or Orbitz works fine.

I just got back yesterday.....

And, no, I did not win...

I've got a lot of ideas and good tips. If you apologize for calling me gay yesterday, I might share them with you.

 

LOL

 

Used travelocity when I went last month. Actually I tried orbitz and expedia too, travelocity just had more flight choices for me and ended up being a better fit. Hotel rooms all seemed very inexpensive, but it was one of their slower weeks.

 

go to orbitz, expedia, and travelocity individually for the hotel rooms because i've found while usually they have the same deals - every once in a while one of them has a "special rate". i got to stay at Aladdin (4 stars) for $99 the Thursday before new years when Aladdin's own website had it for $499....

i think i got it through travelocity

 

my sister is having her bachelorette party there in a few wks and we've got our flights, just need hotels. we have 6 girls flying in.

do you know how to specifically request a suite? i've used priceline many times before and i know you can't request things like that. but i usually call right afterwards and ask for doubles, but i doubt you can priceline a room and request a suite. any advice?

 

Go to the Rio if you need a lot of room ....as in a suite...Rio is all suites....its not comparable to the nicer, newer places, but the rooms are huge

 

The Rio is also not actually on the strip, so be careful of that.

 

yeah but for the most part u take cabs to other hotels even if oyu arent on the strip

 

thanks for the advice...any more on getting big rooms for a good rate??? i think we did want something on the strip.

also, has anyone ever been on Superbowl weekend? that's the weekend we are going. is it crazy there? well...crazier than normal??

Just a little tip for when you get there, Play Casino War! It's your best chance of winning. You place a bet, the dealer deals one card to you and one to themselves, all you have to do is have a higher card then them. Best odds in Vegas.

 

I go every superbowl weekend for the last 5 years.

We have stayed at Ceasars, MGM, The Venetian, and Mandalay Bay.

I like the Ventian the best followed by Mandalay Bay, but none of them are bad.

Superbowl weekend is nuts....but then again, most other weekends are as well....the Sportsbooks are jammed Superbowl weekends.

If youu want a cheaper place on the strip, try New York New York , Monte Carlo or possibly Paris...The Hotel at mandalay Bay (not the mandalay bay...the building right next to it that is ownded bt mandalay bay but called "The Hotel"") is all suites too....every room has a 42 inch plasma TV but they may be more expensive than the other i mentioned....Super Bowl weekend you will be hard pressed to find a good suite becuase most of them go to high rollers

 

Does Mandalay Bay qualify as "the Strip"? It's kinda removed from the rest of the hotels distance wise, except the Luxxor. Nice casino though.

 

its at the end of the strip.....thats why i was saying earlier, that even though the rio isnt on the strip, you would have to take the same cab to caesars that you would if you were staying at mandalay bay

for that matter, if you stay off the strip, the Hard Rock is possibly the most fun place for bachelor/bachelorette parties

 

BTW, in and around the Strip, which hotel is the oldest that hasn't been torn down yet?

 

If I had to guess, the Stardust or the Tropicana?

 

yeah..i'm guessing Stardust, too.
