Jeff: Thanks...I think the best one is Caesars including parking in their $101.50 to $601.50. Now I wonder what parking will cost around town that night!

Jeff, the last time I checked there were lots of rooms still available for NYE. I wonder if prices will drop for the shows since the high cost of rooms and shows seems to be keeping a lot of people away. I'll bet that there will be some good last minute deals.

John,
There may be some dropping of prices, but I can't picture them having a fire sale either. Just remember, if your gonna gamble on the chance there may be a discount room, that you had better already own airline tickets! I think that will be the hardest part....getting to LV if bargins do come out last min.

JOhn,
How would you like to be holding a reservation at several hundred dolars a night and see cheap rooms become available the middle of December?
Lee,
As for the people without plane tickets, there's a hell of a lot of people who live within driving distance!

Lee and Jeff, Guess what? I just got 2 offers from Caesars today. One was for Nov. 18-Dec. 23rd and the other was for a 4 night package for NYE.
Just for the heck of it I started to check airfare and found out that Lee is right. I'm better off staying home than spending a ton on airfare.

Jeff,
Yes there are a lot of people within driving distance! We are just not one of those! LOL
Unless, that is what that dream you had was about? ROTFLMAO
