April 2009 - Should I wait for Hotel Offers?

Hi All,

We%26#39;re off to LV next April (12 - 19) we%26#39;ve booked flights but not a hotel - the question is, should we wait until nearer the time, or a little longer to book a hotel to see if there are any offers around for any of the better hotels? I don;t know how busy LV is likely to be around then, as we have only ever been in Nov, which was not too bad. Last time we stayed at the Sahrara, which actually was a pleasant surprise when we got there, and not at all a bad experience, so we could go there again, but we%26#39;re still %26#39;shopping around%26#39; - just wondered what any of you guys thought, as I know we%26#39;re going during the Easter break.

Thanks :)

Could be a busy time and I would book as soon as possible, you can always change if you had to. Book with the hotel if you can instead of your travel agent. The Sahara might have been a pleasant surprise to you and it is to people who have never experienced LV Hotels but believe me its not one of LV finest or even close to it. You might find deals at other lower priced Hotels closer to center strip.

I would book now at a place where you like the both the property and price. Make sure you know the cxl policy and can do so.

Keep researching options, know what you are looking for, and make changes/cxl as needed.

We were helping friends yesterday who are looking for 5-9 rooms in July, 2009, not big enough for group sales, and we did book the rooms - I think we have a good chance rates are higher next year, even in the summer.

You have picked a busy time, high demand=high prices.

You have time and flexibility, use both to your advantage.

Definitely book now if you see something you can live with. Then keep checking websites and sign up for any e-mail notifications from hotels. Check to make sure you can cancel your reservations ( you can with most reservations but check to be sure). If the rates go down-contact the hotel for the lower rates or if you find something better- cancel and book at the new hotel.

Easter break means the rates are probably going to be high.

Book the best available deal now, then starting in Feb. watch, every week, www.smartervegas.com for a chance at a better deal.

I booked my hotel for 5/3/09 to 5/10/09 but I can%26#39;t find any airfare yet, I thought I was too early for that.

I would book now. We just booked the last available studio unit at the Polo Towers for the week of April 26, 2009. If you have a particular preference in a room type or location, the sooner the better.

have you has a look at the flamingo in a great location and they haev the new rooms.

be paid for 5 star last year but i wouldnt pay the extra again.

we are looking to go next year and looking at the flamingo.

nice pool too

Thanks all, that%26#39;s definitely helpful. We booked flights to use some airmiles with Virgin that were due to expire!

The Huge NAB convention takes place on April 20-23 but hotels will be very busy from a couple of days prior to this with very high rates. Definitely book something as soon as possible if only to cover yourself for the last few nights of your trip.

try the luxors site and click on the mvp offer, me and my wife are going on april 9th for a week and only paid $646 which is very cheap and its a nice hotel, we were there last april and paid $980 for the same week,vegas is pretty busy in april but we%26#39;ve been in august before an thought then was busier.hope this is of use to you,enjoy.
