Would be surprised if anyone can beat Vegas on price, unless you're going opposite CES, Comdex or one of the handful of shows large enough to affect hotel rates. There's a lot of overcapacity in that city most of the time.

OTOH, there's a bit of stigma, especially fed by those who haven't actually been there. So it gets the junket label attached or somehow gets taken less seriously, and they lose a lot of booking on just that image alone. Something like Omaha, OTOH, screams austerity and the life of a monk, especially in winter.
