Spring Break in vegas

Booking spring break soon--Buddies and I are headed to vegas for march madness... my question is: Is it better to book now or closer to the trip??

Also--take deals with flight and hotel or try to do seperate work...gonna get a pretty decent crew like 10-15 ppl

Tough to say as far as when to book. I stayed at pairs hotel this week, booked a month ago at 119 per night and rooms where 70 bucks when I got here. If you wait it could also work against you though, I'd suggest booking early

I booked 2 weeks ago and I just saw the prices have gone up. It might be cheaper closer to the date but I got a trip for 2 flight and hotel for under a grand. I was happy about it.

Book now especially if you are going March Madness. It is one of the best weekends of the year! One of the few places on earth that the books are going nutz for North Carolina or anyother #1 seed up by 30 with a minute or 2 left in the game.

I shop quite a bit for vegas trips, yahoo is normally pretty good for packages.

If you check flights and they are pricey, go teh package route as you will get cheaper flights. If flights are cheap right now you can try and book separate and save some money.

seein circus circus for under 350 a guy


tough to beat that...know that it isnt a primo hotel but dont plan on sleepin too much and dont really give a phuck bout home court casino/hotey...

another question, with pools- can we just crash other places pools as long as were drinking or is it limited?? i dont mean rehab or palms or nething top notch, but i mean like just somethin where the scenery beats circus circus.

Unless you enjoy having little ones running around constantly stay away from Circus Circus.

Best deals are either the Strat or Sahara. I would go with the Strat, a little more modern. The monorail is at the Sahara so that can get you wherever you need to go.

Heading to the Strat in a few weeks with the wife. Always a good time.

Circus circus is TERRIBLE. I understand what your saying about the home base hotel not being that big of a deal but at least stay somewhere like harrahs

hotelandflightdeals.com i was at first looking for just a flight out to vegas, and once i found one i was happy with i had the option to book it with a hotel. i found 5 days 4 nights, with roundtrip ticket (granted at sahara) for only 450 bux, so if you search for a flight first and then when it gives u an option to add a hotel, its way cheaper then doing hotel+flight first.

If you dont care about the room stay at Imperial Palace. Cheap ass rooms and you are in the center of the strip. Paris has the best setup for games. 3 Huge screens in their theatre with a bar and sportsbook right outside the doors.

are we against the tropicana? Riviera? These are much cheaper than IP from what I am finding through various sites

Only been to vegas one other time and was with my old man who is kinda handicapped walking wise so we stayed at flamingo and just held fort there for the most part...

best location/value is ballys/paris/flamingo/imperial palace/harrahs part of the strip, your right in the middle

monte carlo is pretty nice/inexpensive but its a pretty good walk to get anywhere
