Vegas and the economy

I’m finding that the economy is hitting Las Vegas too. This is actually beneficial to me as a tourist because the prices are lowered in order to get my business! I was able to find many packages lower than $200 on the strip and even lower off of it. You can get one of the more upscale packages for only $300-$350. What I searched for are airfare + 4 days, 3 nights. I couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was. A flight to somewhere else alone costed nearly $400. And this one includes hotel too, sweet. Hotels really need tourists’ business. There are many rooms that are unoccupied and I *heard* if you slip some money to the clerk, you just might get an upgrade to a nicer room. I really haven’t decided if I want to take advantage of the super sweet deals and get a really cheap hotel or if I want to splurge another $150 or so and get a really nice place and maybe an extra night. Either way I’m really lucking out on a good deal right now with the state of the economy and Las Vegas needing my business.
