According to this survey in the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter, Las Vegas room rates are lower than they have been in five years. An article in the NY Times reports Las Vegas casino revenue is down 5.1% from the same time last year. It seems the high air and gas prices have taken their toll on Las Vegas.
This is good news for Las Vegas vacationers! With all travel affected by the higher fuel costs a trip to Las Vegas is still a great bargain. We found Vegas to be a fun family destination to visit, too! (read our fall 07 trip report). Anne and her Mom and sisters had a fun Vegas girls weekend getaway earlier this year. If you have cut back on your travel plans this year a vacation to Las Vegas may still be a viable low cost alternative.
