Has anyone got a mailing from the wynn in the past couple of days. We got one the other day and my fiance can't find it. we never opened it, Was it a offer for a discount room or just a advertisement. we might be going to vegas in two weeks and havn't booked a room yet.
I did recently get a mailing from Wynn. However I just read it and deleted it as their prices were totaly BS. I'm not sure who they think they are fooling but I'm not into getting rippped off ! $ 459 a night and I'm supposed to think they are giving me a great deal ?
KIND OF off topic, but I'm in the middle of planning a trip to Vegas, as in my friends and I will be booking our hotel room within the next 7-10 days.
I live on the east coast, have never been to Vegas before, and basically wondering if there is any resource I could use toward getting a discounted rate if booking 3 months in advance? The trip will be in mid February, presidents day weekend, and rooms are 400-500 a night that weekend (NBA All Star weekend, which is reason we chose this this date). Now we are getting ready to pay the 1400 for 3 nights at the Mirage, but if someone here knows something I could do to stay at a nice hotel for cheaper than that please speak.
thanks:drink:

thanks for the reply GD,
trust me Jaybird, we have been looking into this for quite some time now. and we have concluded we aren't going to avoid pricy fares fro the weekend. Hotels we are interested in: Mirage, RIO, Ceasar's Palace, Bellagio (if the price wasn't that much more than the others). Came up with these hotels because my friends have been to vegas before and liked these places along with other stuff i've heard. Now for the 3 nights in question, all of those places have given us a fare from about $1300-1500. Treasure Island was something we looked into but decided to pass on, was a little cheaper at like 1100 for the weekend. FYI its 3 of us and when I've been searching for rooms I've been saying 2 adults anyway.

If traffic is bad for that weekend (which it probably would be) -- you really don't want to stay at the Rio cause you can't walk anywhere other than the Gold Coast.
Have you looked at Golden Nugget (Downtown), Boulder Station (off strip) or Sam's Town (off strip)? The two off strip places have decent sports books and poker rooms. Of course, downtown gives you alot of choices for sports betting. Game viewing is not as comfortable though becuase downtown sports books are mostly smaller with less tv's. Sam's Town has a shuttle to the strip. Golden Nugget or Boulder Station-- you have to cab it. You could probably get a suite at those places I mention --for what you're willing to spend. With the 3 people -- a suite would be advantageous.
Another idea would be the Hooters casino (used to be San Remo). Their rates are very reasonable. They just renovated so rooms are probably decent. Within walking (or stumble) distance of Tropicana and MGM.

I looked at expedia, which looks like its a little bit of a discount to what you are going to pay, but not a huge difference. As someone mentioned here, just because hotel rooms in vegas are expensive, doesnt mean they look much better than a standard motel room. One room I was impressed with was the Ballys believe it or not. Our room had a hot tub and suana in it with a huge panoramic window that looked down the whole strip. It was a giant room too.

Its a shitty walk though, not to mention there wont be much thawing out on a February Day/Night. You have to walk uphill both ways (literally, because you are walking over a freeway overpass) while crossing traffic trying to get on the freeway. Much better to stay on the strip if thats where you feel like playing.
