Like everything else, hotel prices in Las Vegas also vary following the laws of demand and supply. The room that costs you $50 can go for as much as $250 for the next visitor if the demand soars. Mind you, a bargain is not ruled out even at the lower end of the spectrum if it is a 'lean' season. Unfortunately, the mushrooming of conventions has made such seasons a rare commodity. Who knows, you may get a great deal even in a luxury hotel on any given day.

While booking a hotel room online, look for special Internet rate. This will save you a great deal of money. As the travel agencies process a huge number of reservations, they are in a position to negotiate special rates with the properties. They usually purchase rooms at various properties in bulk numbers at wholesale rates and pass the savings along to you. And apart from saving money, a room marked as special Internet rate will provide you security as well.

It?s better if you book your room between Sunday and Thursday. On busy weekends, most hotels raise their rates as rooms usually sell out.

You can also look for special rate properties, i.e., hotels with special negotiated rates including discounts of up to 70 per cent off the regular rates.

For the best bargain, click on as many hotel booking links you can. When each opens a new window, enter your travel dates for each separate hotel and compare the rates to find out which one suits you the best.

Do not try the courtesy phone number occasionally referred to by the sites. Only if you book online, you will know the lowest Internet rates. Mind you, if you choose to call them up on phone, the discount rates may elude you.
