Las Vegas Deals are HERE Already!

THIS WAS WRITTEN WITH AN HOUR OF THE TIME THE OFFER WAS MADE MARCH 1st.
IT MAY HAVE TIMED OUT BY NOW, BUT OTHER OFFERS WILL APPEAR.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT YOU CHECK HERE REGULARLY.

If you have followed this blog (or read newspapers, especially the Wall Street Journal) you know that the Las Vegas resorts are in deep discomfort. Travel is off, gambling is off, restaurants are off, and they want to get bodies into the rooms. In order to generate some cash TODAY, they are offering some pretty sweet deals for down the road, even when they expect to have more people available to spend money. Like the Pro Rodeo Finals, and like the ICAS Convention. So this is one of the specials that has a limited booking window.

Here's the deal, and it's a real GET IT NOW! The Harrah's properties are offering deep booking discounts NOW for December. It's called "Get Your Wings." The odd part is that for December the $300 airline voucher for a future flight does NOT apply, but who cares? Here is a website for you to look into in a few moments.

Paris, one of the Harrah's properties, is included at $76 per night, and that fare applies from Sunday through Thursday nights through the convention period. HOWEVER, right next door and connected by an inside passageway is Bally's. Their rate is $40 per night, NOT the $51 per night on the web page. We have booked that for four nights at $174.40 including taxes.

You can read the deals at the other hotels including the Flamingo and Harrah's, both right down the strip a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk. On a December morning that can be a mite chilly.

There is one small catch, and it is in your favor; you need a Harrah's "Total Rewards" card. If you got one during one of your stays at RIO, activate it by getting a pin number, and you are IN. If you don't choose to get a "Total Rewards" card, the prices are substantially higher.

One more thing: if you want a car [taxicab rates are outrageous] try this site. This site will locate the BEST car rental deals from name-brand rental outfits, and some of the specials are not published in the companies' regular sites.
