007blur007 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, everyone.I am looking to surprise my wife with a birthday get-away to Las Vegas. I have some flexibility on the dates, with the ideal timeframe including the weekend of December 9th/10th. I had originally considered going Friday-Monday, but it sounds like Saturday-Tuesday might be a more cost effective option.The Alladin and Luxor both seem to be in my price range.My question is, what is the best way (as far as # of days & actual dates) to get the most bang for the bucks?Thanks!
thereuare Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Vegas is slow in December up until Christmas, except when the Rodeo is in town (this year: 11/30-12/9).Best value is if you can come Sun-Thur.What is your budget? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
007blur007 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 Hi, thereuare, thanks for your response.I would like to spend between $300-$500 on the Hotel.Sun-Thurs doesn't quite work. Sat-Tues (coming home on the red eye) seems to be the best way that I can maximize our time (while only hitting 1 of the 2 expensive nights).Using Expedia.ca, I can get the Mirage (bundled with airfare) for around $400 (seems like an excellent deal).I've also checked out the oft-mentioned Alladin deal on EasyClickTravel.com and it seems like a great deal for $264.23.Any thoughts?
007blur007 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 Something that I've thought of is staying at a less expensive place (Sahara or such) on the Saturday night, and then moving to a nicer place for Sun/Mon.Any thoughts?
photomikey Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 I'll be at the Aladdin on the weekend of the 9th/10th. (See you there!)If you don't think the wife will mind moving in the middle, splitting the stay might be a good idea. Personally, I'd try Aladdin for the first two nights and Venetian (PL 5*) for the second two nights... Venetian is VERY nice.I recall Hard Rock having some specials, also. But they're (slightly) off strip.If you can put off the stay until the next weekend (or the weekend before Christmas), the prices drop very low.
007blur007 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks, Mikey.Unfortunately, this is the only weekend that we can get away. I'll check out the Hard Rock.
