Vegas - Why so expensive Oct. 8th weekend?
I am travelling to Las Vegas the weekend of October 8th - 11th, and was wondering why all nice hotels on the strip that I enjoy staying at (Mirage, Casears, Paris, Monte Carlo, MGM, etc) are so expensive. I think Monte Carlo is the cheapest on at $199 a night. I have checked all the usual places (vegas.com, las vegas.com, expedia, orbitz, travelocity, etc.) So currently I have a reservation at Golden Nugget for $125/night. I am not satisfied with staying downtown though, and would much rather be directly on the strip at one of the big hotels.
I am a frequent Vegas traveler, but have never been their in Oct. Any insight as to why prices are so high? Any suggestions on when/if they may go down? Or where to look for cheaper hotel rates?
Thanks!!

Monday the 11th is Columbus Day. Certainly the combination of a 3 day holiday and two relatively large conventions (according to this site)

BTW, glad you posted. We we're thinking about going that weekend.
