That's absolutely true DC. There are always deals during the weekedays and especially in the summer.

Keep in mind too, that it's good to check a date in advance or have a couple possible dates. Even though Vegas has it's down seasons and slow times, "IF" there is a convention (and believe me they have all kinds of conventions there)rooms will be sky high and basically unavailable.

When I first moved to CA, my husband and I decided to go to Vegas on a whim. We were new to CA and Vegas was so close. We figured we would get a room when we got there.

Well, there was some car convention of some sort and there wasn't a hotel to be found. We had the kids with us and needed to stay somewhere. We found this dive on the strip and paid $100 for one night (this was in 1980 and that was a lot)

I learned my lesson. Even if I were going on a whim, I'd check a couple hotels (now I can check on line) and see if they are all booked. Just food for thought.
