not sure what is the best club for that particular night, but when i went in May all of the non-gamblers (the clubbers) went to LAX, Jet, Pure, and Tao. Supposedly Tao was the best?? try to sneak in guest list apparently they dont give a shit if you tell them you're canadian.

I just booked westjet for dec 28-30 and i cost me 300 total for the package (long story short, I booked their package deal for the flight and hotel but won't stay in the hotel they gave me cause it sucks and is like 40 miles from Las Vegas itself and the package costs 300 but if you buy flight only its 800, go figure) ... then i just booked another hotel on the strip seperately for another 300 and so i'm set for my trip and it only cost me 600 bucks ...
allegiantair.com flies out of Bellingham but its a hit or miss depending on the dates you want to fly, check them out and see if cheaper or not, they also have packages or just flight only ... I booked a roundtrip flight to Vegas with them for $88.50 total so there are deals to be had there but looking at your dates you might not have the savings that warrant a mini roadtrip ...
PM me if you have questions, I've been doing a lot of research over the years and I might be able to help you out ...

for hotels, try using smartervegas.com for promos for each of the hotels, the website pretty much has almost all of the promos covered and even links you to the hotel's website with codes already ...
Happy Hunting

^ Yup. Well, it's the most snow they had in about 30 something years so it's not like it will snow everyday. But I checked their forecast and it looks like there's some rain coming in.
The last thing I want if I go to vegas is see snow or rain haha. might as well stay in vancouver.

For anyone thinking about going to Vegas, if you check redflagdeals.com right now, there are quite a few hotel deals. Allegiant Air was also offering a $28 promo on some flights but I don't know if that's over or not.

I'm looking to rent out a house for a stag weekend. Anyone know of any good renting sites? Supposedly there's a lot of scams going on now. Not sure which site to trust.

You can rent out time-share condos too. They usually cost ~$1000 for a week in a 1000-1500 sq. ft. condo. Decent price compared to hotels.
