Las vegas hotel rooms for this upcoming holiday weekend really have shot up in price in the last month. I've been keeping an eye on them just out of curiousity. Before that point, they were actually a little cheaper than the surrounding weekends even though this is a holiday weekend. I booked mine back in November since I'm visiting this upcoming weekend and was able to get a very cheap room. But, its probably last minute demand with valentines day driving up prices as it gets closer.

The $30 rooms are almost always for mid-week stays... but I did manage to get a room on strip for under $35 this saturday (though, its The Quad..)
