Enjoy Yourself By Considering A Las Vegas Travel Vacation

Bellagio Hotel

Las Vegas travel brings you to the heart of entertainment. Some people arrive for the thrill of flashing lights, ringing bells and free drinks. Others want to see rare concert appearances, famous comedians, Broadway musicals and Cirque du Soleil performances. Architecture lovers want to experience the "theme park" atmosphere of the Las Vegas casinos themselves and peruse displays like the Venetian gondola, The Bellagio Hotel conservatory or the Mandalay Bay shark exhibit. Each year, more than 100,000 couples tie the knot in a Las Vegas wedding, and even more arrive for a low-cost honeymoon. You can save a lot by researching every detail or you can find a discount vacation package to finesse the details.

At www.funjet.com, you will find many special Las Vegas travel offers at some of the top Vegas hotels. For instance, fly from Los Angeles and spend 3 nights at The Mirage for just $329 per person, or fly from LA and stay 2 nights at The Wynn for $319 per person. If you're flying from an east coast destination like Buffalo NY, then you can still receive airfare and 2 nights at The Wynn for $569 per person, or stay three nights at Planet Hollywood instead for $379. The website, www.vegas.com, is also the "official Las Vegas Nevada travel site" which have 2 night airfare/hotel packages starting at $119. As well, www.visitlasvegas.com lists the current hotel room promotions, which may help you decide where to stay as well.

When some people are considering traveling to Las Vegas, they want the whole package, including airfare, hotel, show tickets, spa services, food, etc. The best way to snag an all-inclusive is through your local travel agent or directly through the hotels, since online discounts are largely air+hotel or hotel+show combinations at best. At www.mgmmiragevacations.com, a vacation package that includes airfare from Buffalo NY and 7 nights at MGM Grand (in December) starts at just $711/person, everything included! Yes, that's like $100/day to stay in a luxury resort! For the same trip, the couple could stay at The Bellagio Hotel for $1,000/person. Of course, you can buy the penthouse package for three times that amount, but the budget conscious traveler can find some tremendous deals right through the hotel websites.

There is another way to save on Las Vegas travel, if you have the patience and are willing to forfeit a few hours of your day. For instance, at www.saveonresorts.com, the Hilton Garden Inn is offering a stunning package for $129 total (not per person) that includes (brace yourself): 3 Days and 2 Nights at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas, 2 Las Vegas show tickets, including comedy and variety shows or the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, a $100 spa or dining certificate, free shuttle to and from the Las Vegas Strip and airport, full use of all hotel amenities, like the fitness center, and additional nights for $119/night if desired. The only catch is that you must sit through a 90 minute timeshare presentation, although you are under no obligation to purchase anything. Another similar offer replaces the spa certificate and Vegas shows tickets with a free breakfast and a $100 Visa gift card at the Embassy Suites instead. If luxury is your thing, then stay at an opulent five-star Cancun Resort villa for 3 days/2 nights, receive 2 passes for The Venetian gondola ride, 2 tickets to the wax museum, 2 lunches at Zeffrinos or dinners at Tintorettos and free shuttle service for just $89 total! If you are considering a vacation property or if you have an iron will, then these deals may be the best vacation package offers you'll ever find.
