And I just got feedback from LV Hilton (I asked why so many hotel were turning us down).
She said it was the amount of lead time. As in, too much. Because it's a weekend and we require less than 100 rooms.
shrug.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I guess tourism in Vegas is a whole different animal from other places.
boggles that it wouldn't be worth a half hour of someone's time to write out prices...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But why give us the rooms on the cheap before they know if they can sell them for more?

I suppose it depends on their average % of capacity.

On a weekend in May, nearly 100%. Even Excalibar wants 109 for Thurs and Fri and 119 for Saturday night. And $30/person/room/night for the meeting space.

I suppose I shouldn't get too involved in the discussion regarding prices - if we pick Vegas I'll almost certainly stay at Luxor rather than the host hotel.

It's funny you say that because Vegas is such a personal experience - ie, Deb = Bellagio, Matt = Luxor, Aimee= Mandalay when someone else pays otherwise wherever is cheap, that I wonder if getting quotes on just Hosp Suite/Prom Locale and let everyone choose their own hotel is a way to go with Vegas.
Thoughts? I'm not married to it, just a thought.

Bally's and Paris are also "no"s.

I know that I love the stuff center strip. I've had good rooms at Treasure Island and even at Bally's. The Venetian was very nice when I stayed there a few years ago.
The Sahara is one of the last old school casinos still going on the strip, it's up on the north end, but I've gotten many a cheap room there.
