The first place to check for cheap hotel rooms and special packages is the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino's website, mandalaybay.com. For example, the discount suite program offers suites starting at $89.99 a night from July 2, 2010, through May 31, 2011. Mandalay Bay's website cautions that all rooms are subject to availability.
Many people take a quick trip to Las Vegas over the weekend, and the hotel properties know this, raising their room rates on Friday and Saturday nights. For the traveler who is looking to save money and avoid the crowds, booking a stay from Sunday through Thursday is the way to go. Weekday travelers can save hundreds of dollars by booking their room on those days. Tuesdays through Thursdays provide the cheapest room rates.
Winter is the Las Vegas off-season and, with the exception of the holidays (particularly New Year's Eve and New Year's Day), Mandalay Bay reduces its rates even further. For the traveler who doesn't like 100-degree temperatures, a winter Las Vegas trip is not only more affordable but more comfortable as well.
