Default Alexis Park Resort

Hello...

I will be in Vegas from June 1 to June 5 for my 8th trip to the grand city! This is the first time though that I will be there over a weekend. The hotel prices are extremely high and we just refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for one night stay. I booked the Alexis Park Resort for the first two nights but someone told me I should have stayed at the 4 Queens. I thought the reviews for the 4 Queens was even worse. Please share your thoughts.

Bruce,

I live in Las Vegas. I'm a publisher here, and attend a lot of conventions and trade shows.

Conventions drive this economy. Over 23,000 conventions held here in 2006.

Hotel prices depend on several things, most notably: time of year, weekend vs. weekday, what events are going on.

I've seen hotels rates as low as $25/night, off strip, in the last few months. And this was not a terrible hotel. (hotels.com seems to turn up some good prices.)

At the same time, the new major hotels on the Strip (Wynn, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM, Venetian, etc.) can demand high rates because occupancy is over 95% on weekends and over 85% on weekdays. No trouble selling rooms. But prices do come down during slower times.

I suggest checking the Convention Calendar maintained by the LV Convention and Visitors Bureau (lvcva.com/meetings/convention-calendar.jsp). See what's gonna be here when you plan to visit. Or find a slow time and visit LV then -- you'll probably find significantly better hotel rates.

One or two big conventions can drive prices through the roof. And turn streets into parking lots.
