119 a night is what I paid but I called the right person at just the right time I love calling reservations at just the right time

At this late stage the best you will probably get on the strip will be $150 a night at the Tropicana or similiar unless you go off strip or downtown where you will get <$100.

Although it would be good to be within crawling distance of your room from the convention you should be just fine further away.

It depends what kind of a conventioneer/partier you are.

Do you really need to go back and forth to your room every ten minutes to reapply cologne etc? Do you think being at most a $10 cab ride away will ruin your chances of getting Teen Kelly or Juicy back to your room?

Treat each day like a sightseeing day trip and just go back to your room at the end of the day to change/shower etc for the night time stuff and you will have many more options for room choices. :thumbsup

Damn you :mad:

That's $100 less than we paid. We thought it was a good price considering we arrive Jan 1st. Guess it helps to call the right person :winkwink:

we did by accident

Thanks for the info tanker.

Well, for myself i dont care, the first few days im alone but during the convention there will be this girl with me so i need something decent and nearby, you know how chicks are...

If someone wants to share a room from 30 till 3 let me know, i'll sleep on a floor, i dont care. I rather spend my money on drinks and lapdances :)

And you didn't think you need to tell us that before because......? It changes the whole damn picture! :) BELLAGIO. hehe.

:winkwink:

Go off-strip... But then you're wasting money on cabs. Where are u coming from, btw?

Would you mind standing in the hallway while me and my girlfriend fuck?

Amsterdam.

LOL

Sure, if we switch after youre done.

First time in Vegas I guess?

Continuing to LOL

ok different story :Graucho

Tried http://expedia.com

or http://priceline.com ?

I think she'd have a problem standing out in the hall while you and I fuck.

No, ive been there before but last time a buddy of mine arranged everything so this is the first time i have to deal with hotels myself :)

Try Monte Carlo

Did you and that girl already hook up, or will a good hotel make that happen? :eatmouse

i've always said that if you can't be as comfortable travelling, then there's no sense in travelling in the first place... if the funds are there, always splurge on a nice room, it's good for the mind, body and sould.

Thanks for the links and help everybody, this thread helped me out a lot.

Its not a matter of having money or not, its a matter of where your priorities are...i honestly dont care about hotels, i always spend good money on holidays but i hate paying for hotels.

Luxor :thumbsup

i used to feel the same way. but on a last minute 3 night trip, we were only able to book a cheap hotel (like $89 a night). and we stayed in a hostel once when we first started going out and we were college students with minimum wage jobs.

since those trips, i've always had no problem spending a few extra hundred on a nice room. you definetly notice the difference.

Indeed, esp at conventions it's nice to have a large room to relax in between all the partying.

Battuss, I think your best bet would be the Tropicana. The 30, 31,and 1st are going to be outrageous because of New Years Eve. Every room in Vegas will be sold out.

If you dont like it or want to impress the girl when she comes move to another hotel on Sunday when the rates drop back to normal.

Thanks, i'll check it out. I will most likely find something cheap for the first days and then move to a good hotel when the chick arrives.

A good cheap place in the middle of the strip is the Imperial Palace. It's right beside the Venetian, across from the mirage and Ceasars Palace.

I've stayed there before, it's not the Bellagio but it's good value. :)

DH

ditto

the orleans its rioght around the corner from mandaly. Pretty inexpensive. Around 150-200 for 4 nights

Drinkin' Hard's got a good point. I've always stayed at the IP due to location AND, they have a room with a tub in it, which makes for some great evenings.

I wouldn't call it right around the corner but a cab could get you there in a few minutes the back way without having to go along the Strip. It would be about an hour's walk though through a deserted industrial area :glugglug

total opposite end of the strip
