    So we’ve finally booked again! Not going until November so lots of time to plan!
    This will be our 3rd trip but I’m sure a lot has changed since we were there in 2012!

    What Hotels are you looking at? Do you have any previous play in vegas that might get you a better price or is it a first trip

    Usually November is one of the cheaper months. I assume prices will go down in the next months. The best is to book something which you can effort and then to watch prices. Most of the time you can cancel and rebook if you are booking directly with the hotel.

    Do you have any specific hotel in mind?

    Is it the first week? There is a huge convention that week so prices can easily be double the cost of the week after.

    Yes its the first week, well im there for 11 nights. Iv noticed that the big convention is on and thats probably why the price hike. i've booked a couple of places and will be looking for deals still as i can cancel the places i have already booked. i've being multiple times and prefere downtown but my daughter and her partner are tagging along this time. they are first timers so i wanted them to stay on the strip for part of our holiday to see whats what on there.

    Last November MSS, California and Fremont were all extremely expensive or sold out during the convention. We ended up at Orleans through a third party seller. They wanted far too much when I logged into B-Connected.

    Maybe an off strip or Downtown stay during the expensive time, the move to the Strip for the second half of the trip?

    This thread is quiet!

    Well I'm booked to go again at Easter!
    Flights from Manchester direct were £750 each (ouch!)

    (For same date now up to £840!)

    Best rate I got for rooms was by booking direct with hotel.

    Just a thought for peeps looking for pricing up trips.
