Las Vegas Hotel Reviews

In general, rates for Las Vegas accommodations are far lower than those in most other American resort and vacation cities, but the situation is a wacky one indeed, and as fancier new properties have opened in the past few years, rates have risen dramatically. There are about a hundred variables, depending on who's selling the rooms (reservations, marketing, casino, conventions, wholesalers, packagers), what rooms you're talking about (standard, deluxe, minisuites, standard suites, deluxe suites, high-roller suites, penthouses, bungalows), demand (weekday, weekend, holiday, conventions or sporting events in town), and management whim (bean-counter profit models, revenue-projection realities, etc.)

When business is slow, many hotels reduce rates on rooms in their least desirable sections, sometimes with a buffet breakfast or even a show included. Most "sales" occur from early December to mid-February and in July and August, the coldest and hottest times of the year, and you can often find rooms for 50% to 75% less midweek than on weekends. Members of casino slot clubs often get offers of discounted or even free rooms, and they can almost always reserve a room even when the rest of the hotel is "sold out."
