Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Telephones
• Internet Access
• Calendars
• Pads Of Paper
• Pens
• Pens

1. Determine if your date of arrival coincides with a major convention (see Tips). Plan your vacation for midweek, when it's cheaper, and be flexible about dates.

2. Decide how long you want to stay. Some hotels offer two-day, three-day or one-week packages that can save you money.

3. Search online. Some of the best room deals are on the Internet.

4. Check the downtown casino/hotels. They're usually cheaper than the Strip casino/hotels.

5. Investigate hotels that are off Las Vegas Boulevard altogether. These are frequented by locals and can have bargain room rates.

6. Check weekly motels. They offer bargain rooms by the week.

7. Reserve your room with a credit card after you've found a price that suits your budget.

8. Obtain a confirmation number and write it down.

Tips & Warnings

• Las Vegas hosts myriad convention events, during which time it is prohibitively expensive, if not impossible, to find a room. Check specific dates for these conventions and events: January, Consumer Electronics Show; February, Men's Apparel Guild in California (MAGIC); March, NASCAR; April, National Association of Broadcasters; May, Networld+Interop (high-tech); August, MAGIC; November, Softbank Comdex (software and high-tech); December, National Finals Rodeo.
• There are approximately 115,000 rooms in Las Vegas, though this number jumps every time a new hotel hits the scene. The conventions listed have an attendance of 50,000 visitors or more.
• Sixty-three percent of Las Vegas visitors book their visit at least two weeks in advance.
• Find out about any and all cancellation fees. Some hotels will charge nothing if you cancel well enough in advance. Package deals can have hidden cancellation costs.
