I'd just wait. The economy is going to scare more people into not going to Vegas in April, and you'll get a better deal. Or go the JD route and hit the Motel 6 behind Tropicana. You won't spend any time in your room anyway, so don't get anything fancy.

---- that, walk into a nice place and do it.

true. i dropped a grand on the bellagio for 3 days last year, and spent approx 10 hours there for 3 days. the motel 6 would have been so much better.

---- Orbitz and Travelocity. You can get a better deal if you go directly to the website and you don't have to sign up for some gay ass membership. I stayed at the Stratosphere for 2 nights on a holiday weekend for a couple hundred bucks a few months ago. Also booked a helicopter ride(which was short and not worth the money) .

Im going to say wait has well on booking anything.Literally right After 9/11 we got suites at the bellagio for 125 a night. Im sure 2009 will have some crazy deals out there.

What was the price/duration? I know those things are maintenance -----s and bleed money... if price wasn't a concern would you have enjoyed it more?

Re: Going to Vegas... best way to book a hotel?
 

The ride was literally like 5 minutes. As I was just getting the "oh ---- I hope I don't throw up all over the inside of this ------- helicopter" thoughts out of my head(first time flying and they had free champagne so I took advantage), the ride was over. They took us from the airport around the major hotels and right back to the airport. If I remember right it was like $65 per person so about $130. The majority of the time we were waiting they were DRILLING us on buying their stupid ass DVD of the ride. If they didn't push it so much I might have actually bought the god damn thing, but I was so annoyed by the end of it I didn't want it. They even made us watch a "safety video" which was actually about 3% safety and 97% BUY OUR COOL ASS VIDEO OR YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!! :S

It was still pretty ------- cool though. Helicopters move/fly alot different than I always thought.

Gotcha. Make sure you don't support the douchy helicopter ride company.

didnt read the whole thread, but dont go through 3rd party. use the hotels direct website and google coupons for that hotel. so like google, bally's coupon or whatever. then use the coupon on the hotel's website. cheapest way for me.
