My husband and I live in Oklahoma City and are wanting to take a weekend vacation to las vegas. Where can I go to get cheap airfare and hotel nights? We are thinking about going late January to late Feb. Where should we stay? Also do yall have any special tips on ways to make the las vegas vacation unforgettable. It will be my husbands first trip there and my first since i turned 21.

With the advent of the internet, most people have forgotten about travel agencies. They do not cost you anything and many times are MUCH cheaper on their packages than you can find on the net. Call a couple of them. Also find out how much more a rental car would be.
Memorable? Well that would depend on what you like to do. I go to Vegas whenever I can. I do not gamble. The minute I am checked into my hotel, I head for the desert. Death Valley, Rhyolite, Nevada (ghost town), Scotty's Castle--those all can be visited in the same trip just map it out. Then there is Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam--and a huge road trip to the Grand Canyon (south rim is open this time of year.) That trip can be done in one day also, but wow, that would really be pushing the limits. If you do not have the time or energy, skip the Grand Canyon and see it the next ime you visit. Instead visit Valley of the Fire--it borders on Lake Mead--so just subsitute for the Grand Canyon on the 2nd trip.
But if you do not like the desert and are just in Vegas for the lights and action....well, just walk or drive down the strip. You couldn't see everything there in a years long vacation.

Well, you can always go the traditional route and try the normal travel websites, i.e. Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia etc. Even better, you could go to bookingbuddy.com and check all of the above websites at the same time and compare the prices. I always thought that this was the best way to go.
However, I just booked a trip to Veags for my boyfriend and I from January 24th through the 27th through usairwaysvacations.com. Believe it or not, I got airfare from Philadelphia and 3 nights hotel at the Stratosphere for $570.00. You could even get it down to $520.00 if you moved the trip back one day, i.e. from the 23rd through the 26th. All of this is dependent on who is the major air carrier in your city. For me, it's USAir. Once you determine that, you should check that airline's vacation packages and compare the prices to the traditional websites. I never thought that they would be cheaper, but in my case, they were!

The cheapest place to stay still on the strip is the Stratosphere. 3 nights plus airfare runs about $200 per person. If your going late Jan to early February... go during Super Bowl weekend. I guarantee you will remember this trip forever. It is one huge party from Friday til Sunday night.

Hi...I would try Southwest Airlines.....I have the best luck booking directly at the airline and hotel websites. If I see the rate cheap on Orbitz or Travelocity, I always still check the specific site, chances are, it is cheaper yet. I also check www.usairwaysvacations.com
Happy Holidays!

www.darhonsworldtravel.com, take a look and see what packages are offered through the vegas deals, then compare it to orbitz or travelosity.
