Is it just me or has the price of airfare increased by at least $100 at allegiant? I was planning on booking my yearly vegas trip in the May long weekend, prices seem to be much higher this year.

Overall, yes, but I've been keeping an eye on prices for early June and they've been dropping by about $100 compared to quotes from last month.

Heading out on the 10th of May...Wondering how much cash do you guys think I'll need to take with me? Keep in mind, I won't be spending any money on alcohol but will still be going out every night I believe to clubs and lounges.

Could have went with Allegiant but they came to 500 dollars with check in baggage charge .... and the cost of parking my car their just made me go the other route, since I'm going to be on a tight schedule right after work to get to the airport.

Some drivers will "scam" you and take the highway and it's frustrating because your sitting there driving by your hotel and your like wtf and you see yourself gettting further and he then does a loop back into the strip. I mean it's not like the difference in money is double or anything but it could get pretty annoying sometimes. Actually that's not true if you hit a bit of a traffic jam it could potentially double. The airport to the strip via surface streets is super close.

I'm already booked for Aria, but what would you guys do?
1. Stay at Aria where the price has gone up almost $150 from what I have it booked for
2. Cosmo for $15 cheaper
3. Vdara for $30 cheaper
