Now or Later....??????

Hi





We are coming to Vegas 09 do we book now or later....do prices vary dramatically in a year. We are travelling July/Aug/maybe Sept so we have no real prices to compare to and many places don%26#39;t do reservations more than 11 months out...Is it NOW or do we wait for a deal?





Please help





Now or Later....??????


Seeing as you%26#39;re flexible I wouldn%26#39;t lock in the dates yet. Las Vegas is different than most tourist destinations in that there is no ';season';. The rates for one week in August might be twice as high as the next week, due to conventions, events, etc. So for this reason I would wait untill I had a better idea about hotel rates.



Of course, seeing as airfare is a major part of your cost you might have to jump if a bargain presents itself.



Now or Later....??????


If you call hotels direct they may be able to help. When you book direct and the price goes down you can then call them and request the lower rate.





Most important is to do flights seperate and book direct with the hotel. If you want a direct flight you can%26#39;t get one from here currenly on Wednesdays.





Think of maybe 2 hotels you would like to stay at book the cheaper one and regularly check the other if the price goes way down book it. You only have to cancel 24hrs ahead of time with some hotels in order to get your deposit back. Of course, make sure you read the cancellation policy I would hate to steer you wrong I can only go by my own reservations in the past with TI and Paris.





I mention the Wednesday flight thing because if you are going for a long trip, you may want to do it from a Monday or mid-week as hotel rooms are more expensive on the weekends.




I would always choose to go now, a little later, later, and a lot later---the MORE trips to VEGAS the BETTER!!!!
