What is going on in Vegas 10/6 to 10/9 to make rooms rates so high?
Just curious as a friend was trying for rooms and asked me this question.

October weekends are extremely popular for good weather and football betting, its always pretty expensive.

Didn't you hear? That's the weekend of our annual Haberdasher Convention 2011. Everybody knows that's our busiest weekend.

October is the bisiest month of the year and the room rates reflect that....its the law of supply and demand.

You demand it....we supply it....at a price

Isn't that also Columbus Day weekend this year? 3-day weekend makes for a nice Vegas getaway.

Sue do you gamble?
do you have any Casino Cards (like Caesars rewards)
Call the hotel (or go online) Book with your rewards number
you may get a MUCH better rate (or even a comped room)

Oh, I gamble...we have deals at Harrah's properties and many more. We don't usually pay for a room out there. I am asking for a friend and I don't think my good fortune with rooms will transfer to her.

Thank you all for the replies. I forgot Columbus week-end....and FOOTBALL
And who could forget the Haberdahers?

If you book the room, they should be able to use it.
remember the casino just wants gamblers..

Thanks Jonathan....In the past I have had to show my ID when checking into a free room, or my player's card. I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and see if I can get them a deal. "First time" gamblers and all.

Several years ago hubby and I, with a group of friends, walked into a certain property to check it out for the first time. Hubby, not being shy ,struck up a conversation with a casino host. He told her we had never been there and asked for the best place to eat, etc. She ended up comping the whole party to a meal in their coffee shop. They still talk about that. Hubby's motto: "It never hurts to ask."
