From the Las Vegas Convention Calendar for your period:

HAY HOUSE I CAN DO IT! CONFERENCE SANDS EXPO CENTER 05/17/2007 05/20/2007 1,500 attendees

So that's 75,000+ conventioneers in town to start - plus lots of smaller conferences of a few hundred each...also, that Monday (28th May) is a bank holiday in the US (Memorial Day) so lots of people will have 3-day weekends.

You can always try to check in early- you may get lucky....it can't hurt, anyway...you can leave your bags with the bell desk if the room isn't ready.

sounds like it is going to be a busy week/weekend. Will try checking in early as you say it cant hurt, thanks.

I second that Trets...
See a price your happy with and grab it.
I was looking at 400+ for my trip then on new years eve they went down to 312 so booked it and since then prices have shot up.

where are you flying from?

Things to do list?

Well , firstly being a bit of a poker fan I have to do a few tourneys!!
The new casino poker rooms in the Planet Hollywood/Aladdin are looking nice so will start there.

My Girlfriend wants to go the Grand Canyon so will do that as a priority,
but generally no plans except to do what we fancy when we are there.
I know my girlfriend does`nt read this so feel safe to say that I am considering proposing whilst there. Suppose if the moment and the scenery is just right then may go for it. But no it wont be a Vegas wedding (unless we get very drunk hee hee)
My full plan of the sixteen days~
6 nights in Planet Hollywood/Aladdin
On the friday morning pick car up and drive 5hrs to San Diego.
6 Nights in San Diego then another 5hr drive back
to Vegas.
3 night stay at the Strat (phoned direct and got a good rate-told them i was a player club member and they droppped the internet rate lower!!)
For the last night I have a Venezia Bella Suite (got a free upgrade -paid $179) at the Venetian then back home.

Those who are not going for a while....
All I can say is that looking forward to the holiday is part of the magic I think.
Been planning this since before Xmas and I`m so glad I found this string.Again thanks to Trets.
Cheers All

ps when i get back i will, if needed ,update with how i got on booking in to Aladdin/PH on the deal without being a member. you know what i mean trets.
