Plug Posted August 7, 2013 Report Posted August 7, 2013 Hi, guys!I'm looking for a 5-star hotel in Vegas in the Strip for the next two months but I noticed that fares increase brutally from the 2nd week of September on...Does it happen because the date is more than a month ahead and it's supposed to decrease or fares level for that date must remain as it is now?Regards,Plug
thereuare Posted August 7, 2013 Report Posted August 7, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you referring to airfare or hotel rates?If airfare let us know where it is that you are traveling from and what rates you're seeing and what you expect them to be.If you're referring to hotel rates, it's likely because summer is slow season in Vegas due to the extreme heat. Demand, and therefore rates, increase as you head into the more moderate temperatures of August.Do you have specific dates in mind? What is your desired star level and budget per nite?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Plug Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Posted August 7, 2013 Dear all,I'm looking for a 5-star-hotel rates in the 2nd week of September (9th to 15th) in the Vegas South Strip and my budget is US 170 per night, excluding fees.As of today, fares for that week are almost the double they used to be the weeks before- better climate is the explanation or should I believe that fares will drop a little in the next days due to the proximity of the date?Tks,Plug
Roadguy Posted August 7, 2013 Report Posted August 7, 2013 I havent been following that week, but its been my experience that tight supply hotel room weeks only get tighter as the date approaches
thereuare Posted August 7, 2013 Report Posted August 7, 2013 Have you tried any bidding yet?HOTWIRE has what appears to be the Vdara at $156/nite, which would appear to be within your desired budget, star rating, and zone preference.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Plug Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks for the tip - I'm planning to bid next week when I believe fares will be lower due to the proximity of the date of travel.See you next week with the challenge of trying to reveal the mistery hotel...Regards,Plug

dvandentop Posted August 9, 2013 Report Posted August 9, 2013 there is a big concert 3rd weekend and the 4th weekend there is a big car auction so that probably increases some rates.
dajoip Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 There is a huge fight (Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez)at the MGM on 9/14. One of the biggest events of the year, and it's already set a bunch of live gate records - prices that weekend are sky high.
