When to book hotels in Vegas for november ?

Question

I understand that hotels rates vary from season to season in Vegas.

I plan to be in Vegas from the 2nd to 3rd week of November.
Will like to know when is the best time to book and get good rates for hotels in Vegas.

Is it better to book the hotels now ?

Which hotels gives a good rate in November ?

Answer 1

Yes, there are different rates for different times of year, but you should always book your hotel room as soon as you know when you'll be going -- most hotels set their room rates a year in advance...

You should never wait, as you only increase the chances that you won't find a room when you need it!

You can do a city-wide quote and sort the results to show the cheapest places first:

Click the "Check Availability" button, choose your dates, submit the form, then sort by price.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I would suggest booking now. However, don't book through a third party site like Orbitz or Travelocity. Use those tools to find the best rates, but book through the hotel itself. This makes it 100 time easier to change the reservation if need be. Once you book, keep checking the rates even up to the day that you stay. If rates decrease, you can call the hotel and request the new lower rate.

Answer 3

The Luxor is on the strip. You probably mean closer to the center strip. Caesars Palace and Bellagio are the nicest center strip properties. Paris is mid level, the rest of the center strip are budget properties (Bally's, Harrah's, Flamingo, Casino Royale, The Quad.) Bally's has the largest rooms of all the center strip budget properties. Bill's is closed and is reopening as something else in 2014. You said you want to spend around $350 but didn't say what dates you're staying. Some days a property is $30 and other days it's $200. The prices vary wildly depending on how crowded the hotel is, based on holiday patterns and conventions.

Answer 4

You better book now. The best site is sidestep.com ... they search all sites for the best price and you purchase from that site not sidestep. They are also good for airfare. If a holiday falls in that week it will be more expensive and best to keep away from weekends ( Friday and Saturday). Prices usually rise the closer to the date of arrival so three months is a good time. Do not be surprised to see the huge screen signs in front of major hotels on the strip advertise for rooms for about $30.00 for that night. That is for just that night because they are not sold out. If you have a few bucks to spare .. just check in and spend the night to compare the rooms for your next visit.

Answer 5

Now would be a good time to book. I'm getting emails with all kinds of good deals from several hotels in Vegas.

Answer 6

Book ASAP. Not as much for the price, but for the availability...especially if you are looking for a 3-Star or better hotel. Remember, it's not what time of year is the "tourist season", it's how many conventions are in town that can leave you sleeping in your car!

Sandy’s Vegas Guide

Things to remember:
1. Drinks are free when you’re gambling. Sitting at a bar and playing a few dollars in a poker machine will get you a free drink. Sitting at a machine in the casino will get you the same. Tipping the waitress or bartender a dollar or two will keep her coming back. If you walk up to the bar and order drinks, you’re going to pay lots more, even for soda or bottled water.
2. Player’s Cards: Before you begin gambling, get a player’s card. Most places offer sign up deals (a coffee cup, a free meal, assorted coupons). If you get a card where you’re staying and you use it while you’re gambling, you can “save” the points and use then toward your room when you check out. Some casinos will combine accounts for married couples, some don’t. I always get a card in my name and ask for a second card. I play with one and my husband plays with the other. That way all the points are going to one card, and accumulate faster. Plus … you’ll get offers in the mail for your next trip!
3. Beware of time-share people! As you walk through the hotels and along the strip, you’ll be approached by people who want to give you free show tickets, free tours, free meals, etc. These are time-share sales people. They promise freebies in exchange for an hour of your time. I warn everyone about this but some people just don’t listen. A friend of mine decided an hour of her time was worth giving up in exchange for a show. So her and her husband accepted, were put on a bus and taken to a “presentation” and weren’t bought back for SIX hours. Their only escape would have been to take a cab back to the strip but that would have been expensive and they wouldn’t have gotten their “free” show tickets. The best way to get these people to lose interest in you and move on to the next person is to say, “Thanks, but we’re leaving tonight.”
4. Free Pulls: Some of the casinos offer “free pulls” on a special slot machine as you walk in the door. There are usually no strings attached, you pull the lever and win something. Usually it’s a key ring or a hat; sometimes it’s a free buffet. Sometimes it’s a coupon for a “fun book” (a book of coupons for that casino). To get the fun book, you can be sure you’re going to have to walk to a far, far corner in the casino. They want to get you WAY inside.
5. $40 for $20: Some casinos offer $40 in slot play for $20. What they don’t tell you is that it’s on a bank of “special” machines, and you can’t cash out for cash. Instead, you play the $40 and then choose a prize based on the credits. So before you hand over your $20, take a look at the prizes being offered. If there’s something in there that’s worth paying $20 for – have fun. If not, keep walking.
6. Valet: If you’re going to be renting a car while you’re there, valet parking is the way to go. For a $2 tip, you can park at a hotel or casino and visit the nearby hotels and casinos.
7. Bus: If you use the busses that run up and down the strip, put your wallet in your front pocket. Vegas is the favorite vacation spot for pick-pocketers, too.
8. Cabs: Cabs are more expensive than a bus, but faster and less waiting. Almost all hotels have a cab line outside one of their doors, a line of cabs waiting for the next fare. A hotel employee will whistle for the next cab in line when you ask for a cab.


Things to see (and most are FREE!):
1. The Freemont Street Experience: Every night there is a light and music show that stretches for blocks. It’s an amazing thing to see … and it’s FREE. Freemont Street is in downtown Vegas, you’ll need to take a cab if you don’t have a car. The street is blocked off from traffic and you can stand in the street and look up and watch the show. (Another place to keep a close check on your wallet.) There’s a different show every 30 minutes, beginning at 8:00 or 8:30 PM. Show times and pictures can be seen at: http://www.vegasexperience.com/ Be sure to check out the video! Freemont Street also has performers and kiosks all along it. Lots to see and worth a trip. Downtown used to be nasty and scary, but they’ve cleaned it up and it’s clean and safe now. Just don’t wander too far off Freemont on any of the side streets. You probably wouldn’t want to anyway, most of the action is right on Freemont.
2. The Fountains at Bellagio: Don’t miss this! It’s a 900-foot long row of fountains that “dance” to music. The songs change, and it’s awesome to see. More info at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/bellagiofountains.html While you’re there, go inside and check out the conservatory. Very impressive!
3. Caesars Forum Shops: If you feel like strolling through Rome, check out the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This is also where the talking statues live. More info on the shops and a link to info on the talking statues at: http://www.vegas.com/shopping/forumshops.html
4. The Canal at the Venetian: This is pretty amazing and a MUST see. You feel like you’re in Italy as you stroll along the canal and visit the shops. You can even take a gondola ride. Check out the Canal Shoppes at: http://www.venetian.com/shoppe/index.cfm and get information on the gondolas at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/gondola.html?f=m0at&t=stripat
5. The Volcano, The Tigers and The Aquarium at The Mirage: If you go up the moving walkway and through the front door at the Mirage, you’ll see the white tiger. Pretty cool to see. Head through the foliage to the front lobby and check out the wall behind the check-in desk. It’s a HUGE salt-water aquarium. In front of the hotel there is a huge waterfall that turns into an erupting volcano (loud, bright, and hot!) at night. A trip to Vegas without seeing the volcano erupt just wouldn’t be a trip to Vegas. http://www.themirage.com/
6. The Wildlife Habitat at The Flamingo: An outdoor habitat located within the Flamingo. You can see the live flamingos (still haven’t figured out how to kidnap one) plus lots of other birds, fish, and turtles. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/wildlifehabitat.html
7. Masquerade Village at The Rio: Masquerade Village is inside the casino at the Mirage. There is a parade in the sky with music and dancing and lights that’s pretty cool to see. This is located off the strip, too far to walk, but there is a free shuttle that goes from Harrah’s to Rio and back. More info and a video at: http://www.harrahs.com/our_casinos/rlv/entertainment/entertainment_detail_07.html
8. The Eiffel Tower at Paris: You can take a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/eiffeltower.html?f=m0at&t=stripat
