OT: Vegas Debauchery @ 50% Off

[kev374]

I checked Venetian for 2 weeks from now and it’s almost $300/night, I don’t consider that half off! Thats the regular rate. I could not find any other significant discounts either.

Vegas lost it’s charm for me when they started trying to “class it up”. In college we used to have some great times scouting out the cheesiest lounge acts and playing those nickle plastic horse racing games while scoring free drinks.
I remember this great tiki bar that was like a plastic tropical plant oasis with a dancing waters show. And prime rib dinners for $2.99. Now, not only is Vegas not classy, but it’s not cheesy enough to be fun anymore either. It used to have a certain innocence about it (despite being run by the mob) that no longer exists.

I still wouldn’t call Vegas inexpensive, but I found receipts for a room we paid $1350 for 2 years ago (3 night stay) and I could get it this fall for $700 (3 nights)…a suite, br, lr, 2 baths, view.

There were a couple of other examples too and I didn’t check every weekend…just the one we wanted to go.

I’m sure the weeks with big conferences you still pay more.

Surprisingly, Halloween weekend is pretty cheap right now…

I used to love the 99 cent shrimp cocktails, I think you can still get them but they are not nearly as good as they used to be.

But you guy’s got me interested again, I will see if I can find one of those two night 99 dollar specials (at one of the big hotels on the strip).
