Those techniques require a few special skills. The strategies presented below, however, can be implemented by anyone at any time. In terms of relative costs, Las Vegas can beat any city in the world on the price of a vacation at any level. That is, even if the bargain business isn't your bag and you want to go first cabin, you can expect to spend about half of what it would cost anywhere else for a week's worth of suites, gourmet meals, and shows. The reason for this, of course, is the loss-leader tactics employed by the casinos.
Timing is very important.
Bargain hunters should avoid peak times at all costs. These include holidays, major events, and conventions. The most popular events are the Super Bowl and championship boxing matches. The biggest conventions are Comdex in November and CES in January. Conversely, you'll find yourself tripping over good deals if you schedule visits during slow periods.
