Have got a price of $555 for 7 days 9th feb to the 16th, can anyone do better?

For how many people, what type of room and is that before or after tax?

If for 2 people and assuming you mean 7 nights in a standard (Park Avenue or Park Avenue Deluxe View room) then you can beat it (I assume the $555 doesn't include the daily resort fee either).

If that doesn't work, go to smartervegas.com - go to the NYNY section, sign up/sign in and it's the first one showing, but you have to log in to get the link.

NYNY has a fab arcade as said above & when we had 2 of Pauls teenagers out to stay with us they loved it there, wrist band for the rollercoaster so can go as much as they like Also an arcade in Excalibur which can be got to via the walkways.

No reason why not. I just know how hard it is to keep a teenager occupied when there is only one (lil smartie had 2 IFYSWIM).

To keep ours occupied we always have a car so we can go off strip to places like the pinball museum, silverton for the fish tank and bass pro shops,Red rock canyon, hoover dam, off strip hotels to eat etc etc and we often stay at Orleans for the cinema and bowling alley

bear in mind (if there is just the 2 of you going) that you wont be able to gamble unless you leave him alone somewhere.

We also go during the warmer months so we can spend time around the pool with him, you wont be able to in Feb.

there is also a new waterpark opening May next year

Having said all that you can and will still have a great time

Thanks for all the info, my 14 year old is a girl, and wants to go to red rock, shopping, site seeing, so shouldn't have a problem keeping her interested. Also a couple of my American friends are joining us for the weekend. I will be hiring a car, and I don't gamble. Not my thing, I get more enjoyment watching other people doing it. A couple of quarters in the slots is as far as I go lol. But thanks again for your thoughts.

@ froggitt, one of the many places on the list. Abercrombie too.

Its an outlet ie stuff maybe half regular price or often more.....plus whatever offer they have eg 25% off the whole store was on in the summer. The Abercrombies arent outlet stores.
