Hi,
Unfortunately as is common in Las Vegas, the hotel prices on the strip rise ( sometimes dramatically over the weekend).
for example the Mandalay bay could be obtained for $119 mid week ( good value) but can doubles to over $220 at the weekend ( Fri & Sat night)
Regards

Thanks!
Thanks!
I would at least sign up for the major groups mailing lists. This will bring you emails on what deals are available. I would also sign up for players club cards when you get to Vegas, as this will bring you possible deals available only to rated players. They better your rating, the better the deal.

BTW, there ain't no shade in Vegas

Suggestions for Hotel 10/6-10/11
So today I booked my flights for my better 1/2 and I to go to Vegas for the 1st time 
We aren't so sure where to stay...but money is definitely an issue. I see people posting average nightly rates of just over $100 for the Mandalay Bay and other super-great places... but can't find anything of the sort myself.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to look? Definitely going 10/6-10/11.
Thanks!

Yes, good properties can be had for around $100 per night, through the week but never on the weekend. It is simple supply and demand.
I might suggest Monte Carlo which was clearly the best deal for me a couple of weeks ago. I stayed Thurs-Friday-Saturday and the rates were $69, $109, and $169 respectively. I could never beat Montecarlo.com for the rate.

You may want to split up your stay. Oct 6+7 & 10+11th may not be too bad for a primo strip hotel, but you may have to downgrade the hotel for the weekend to keep it in the price range.
