Las Vegas Casinos Offering Deals

Friday April 18, 2008
It looks as though the economic slump has finally caught up with of the Las Vegas casinos. The Wall Street Journal reported in Thursday's edition that gambling revenues have dropped for the second straight month and visitation is down again. To counteract the decline in business the casinos are starting to offer discounted room rates and packages. Major casinos on the Las Vegas strip are offering special room rates under $100 a night.

Spring is a very good time to visit Las Vegas because the weather is very comfortable, the pools are open and in the past the casinos have been able to get top dollar for the room rates. This year however the casinos are not filling the rooms due to people cutting back on their recreational spending so they're starting to offer the discounts.

Over the last few weeks that I have started receiving many free room offers in the mail from various casinos where I've stayed before. Normally during the springtime I don't receive as many offers as I have this year. Although I reported earlier that the casinos were cutting back on their comps it looks as though they realized that people needed more incentives to visit the casinos rather than less.

If you are not on the casinos mailing list, you can still find some of the great deals by surfing the Internet. Most major airlines offer vacation packages that include airfare and hotel. You can also find deals on travel websites such as Orbitz or Vegas.com. Special offers and discounts can also be found on the casino's websites. If you want to stay at a casino where you have played before you can call and ask to speak with a casino host. You can inquire about any promotions that the casino may be running. Even if they are not running any promotions you should at least be able to book a room at casino rate.

If you plan on visiting Las Vegas, now may be the time to take advantage of some great deals being offered. Spend some time and shop around for a great deal and be sure to compare several offers before booking your trip.
