Sure, there's the discount places and off strip places, but the ones on the strip are out of this world. I'm going in for something other then CES (the college football championship game) and I'm coming in from overseas. Venetian is 600 a night lowest rate on line right now. Of course CES is all of the Convention Center, plus Sands, plus I understand they have taken a few floors of the newer tower at Venetian as display rooms, I think floor 29 and 30 for a lot of Audio Companies to display their products. It's bigger then ASD/AMD shows (which I go in for) and if I didn't have a host I wouldn't have gotten a room there and even at that rate I'll bet you that Venetian will be full up even at these rates. I have no idea what the rates CES is showing for rooms at Venetian but I bet you it's a heck of a lot more then whatever their normal rate is.

I didn't even realize it was CES time when I emailed for my room until my host said the car might be late or not running on time to pick me up and to call if I don't see the driver when I land as he said CES would be starting soon and they have lot of folks coming in to set up early.
