I'm thinking of doing a last minute vacation for a week at the end of April, checking out New York and Vegas. So sad to see that New York will probably cost me ~$2500-3000, while Vegas would only be ~$1000-1500. | I think the price was either 9.99 or 11.99. There is Ellis Island that has a 24 hour steak special with potato and beans for $4.99. Ellis Island is located directly behind Bally's and since we stayed at the Flamingo it was very close

Prices change constantly so just because one place is offering it for $500 doesn't mean it'll be the same tomorrow.

Doesn't matter for me anymore. I gambled so much at luxor and planet hollywood that I got letters telling me to call them and they will give me free stay, limo service and 400 dollars in promotional gaming chips.

chynado11 if you book with a travel agent and the prices on airfare and/or hotel go down you can't get it at the lower price, whereas if you book each separately you can call the hotel and they'll adjust your stay for the lower price. Plus if you're going to be gambling a lot you won't get comps if you book through an agency, but if you book separately and gamble a lot you might be able to get a night or more comped.

My boyfriend and I booked tickets for 3 nights at Imperial Palace in August and it cost us $359 each incl tax (mind you this was during a seat sale)... now for the same trip it costs over $500 each excluding tax.
Keep an eye out for sales at Allegiant ( www.allegiantair.com) and also Westjet.

August is one of the cheapest times of year to go, its a great deal as long as you try to avoid staying outdoors for long periods of time during the day. The deals for August may not look so great now but in a few months prices will really drop.

why is it the cheapest in August usually? Is it just because of the weather?
(Not that I'm complaining  )

In vegas chances are you won't be in your room often, shower, sleep a few hours and that's about it. Me personally i'm picky with hotels so Imperial Palace is too ghetto for me. However, for other IMperial would be awesome. Location wise it is in the middle of the strip and it's cheaper then most of the other hotels. So not too bad if you don't care if the hotel isn't that great.
On a side note going to Vegas next Friday. Staying at Caesars Palace. Will post after my trip.

Spending a shitload of money on a hotel is the biggest waste of money in Vegas. You're only in there to sleep, shower and take a shit and seriously...who the fuck sleeps when they're in Vegas? My gf usually sleeps early and gets 7-8 hours of sleep regularly. We were in Vegas for 4 nights and we only slept a total of 12 hours Quote:

Imperial Palace might not be a Caesar's Palace but the location is perfect.
Let us know how your stay at Caesar's Palace is. I spent most of my time inside that hotel because it's just so full of awesome.
