So I'm trying to find the best deal possible and I was wondering if any of you have ever booked a trip to Vegas online and through what site you went through. I'm just looking for the best deal possible and so far it appears as though jetblue.com has the best deals. Am I missing a good site out there? Help a brother out! Thanks all!

Went twice in 2010 and used Expedia both times. Try that first.

Expedia was around 200 more per person actually. I searched around 8 different sites so far and used the same dates, all direct flights from JFK to Vegas for 4 nights, 2 people at the same hotel. Jetblue KILLS them all by at least 60 bucks per person so far.

REALLY? Interesting. I'm trying to go to Vegas for Memorial Day weekend and it's just not happening with the prices Expedia is offering me. I mean, I suppose...$430 is OK, but if I can get it $60 cheaper, that'd be great.
I live in DC, so it's hard for me to get non stop flights. I always wondered why NYC to LAS was always cheaper.

Well weekends are ALWAYS more and HOLIDAY weekends are astronomical. We're looking to depart on a monday and return on a friday so 4 nights from jfk direct for 2 people and we're looking at 346.60 each. I always go places during the week just to save money.

Very true. Let me know if you have any questions about Vegas in general. It's an awesome place, and you'd definitely wanna go more than once.
Just a quick tip, you will get a lot of shit done during the week. Monday-Wednesday are absolutely dead on the strip. Not dead, there's still a ton of people. Thursday-Saturday is ridiculous. You ask yourself where these people come from, they come in droves, party Thursday night through Saturday night, and leave Sunday morning. Rinse. Repeat. Was there for 3 weeks in 2009 for a Convention, and it was like clockwork. Little did I know a flight from LA to Vegas is like 45 minutes.

What hotel's have you stayed at? I'm only looking at a 3-star and my girlfriends mother recommended Circus Circus. It's relatively inexpensive and she said it's not bad, just older.

Job put us up at Caesar's in 2009. Awesome, pricey though I'm sure. I stayed at Excalibur for Super Bowl weekend. Uhm, it's geared towards kids. Well, not really. It has a medieval theme to it, and it's off the strip. Edit: I felt like I was at hogwarts, let me put it that way. I stayed at another hotel whos name escapes me at the moment. I rememeber it being really cheap, but it was horrible. It really all depends on your budget and where you want to stay. Further from the strip, the cheaper it gets. Also keep in mind how much do you want to pay for hotel, you're probably not going to be in it for long stretches anyway. |
