Where is the best place to find rates for hotels in Vegas?

hotels.com

travelworm.com

i love Vegas, but nowadays, it's hard to get a good deal, unless you go during the week. good luck!

Here's what I suggest for you. Stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd & the Strip. At that corner is Ceasers, Bellagios, the Flamingo, Ballys, and The Paris hotels.

The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). So pick a place that has the best price for you. Ceasers and Bellagios will cost top dollar (like $150 and up) during the summer. Flamingo, Ballys and some others you can get into for around $100, but most times for less, during the low seasons. I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagios, Ceasers, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. All of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web places below, look at the hotel rate calendars and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place to stay. Weekend rates are also $40 to $60 higher than Sunday through Thursday nights. SO you will pay more for your weekend stay.

This is going to be a lengthy answer but this is how I do it.

Go to

http://www.travelaxe.com/NewSite/Information_Overv...

This requires a small download but is well worth the room on your hard drive. It is a search engine that searches 10-12 hotel discount websites for you: hotels.com, orbitz.com, lodging.com, etc. It is totally free to the user, travelaxe earns a small commission if you book through their service.

After you have your best prices from travelaxe, check the same dates and hotels on expedia.com, yahoo travel-travelocity and vegas.com just to be sure you have the best rate.

Before you reserve your room, go ahead and search the hotel's own website. If their price is the same as your best price elsewhere, go ahead and book through the hotel site.

One more thing, before you reserve your room, read some of the reviews for the property on the following sites. This helps prevent any unpleasant surprises. A low price isn't always a bargain...

Hope this helps. Have a Great time!!!

p.s. if you go to www.hotwire.com and see a 5 star hotel on the strip for $159 a night, this is The Venetian and a very good price. I dont think it will be offered on your dates but worth a look too.

www.worryfreevacations.com has some awsome deals right now. Check them out. I have used them several times for various vacations.

You'll be able to find good rates on the web, have fun!

vegas.com though americawestairlines.com (america west vacations sub-section) always had great packages. Hope Us Air merger did not blow that up.

RoomSaver.com

You will be able to print out a coupon for walk-ins or you might be able to book rightaway.

vegas.com, lasvegas.com. any of the hotels websites, or any place like priceline, expedia etc.

I've always had luck with travelocity.
