Holidays in Las Vegas

Why should you book a holiday package to Las Vegas?

Las Vegas has a well-earned reputation for extravagance. Taking the famous Big Bus Tour down the Strip, the tourist gets the impression that Vegas is a city made up of looted treasure from around the world – from the palatial Venetian Hotel to the Paris Eiffel Tower and back through ‘New York New York’ and the Egyptian Luxor, complete with life-size Sphinx. But there’s more to Vegas than high-rollers and roller-coasters; from specialty museums to canyon tours, Las Vegas has it all.

The best way to enjoy Las Vegas, saving time and money, is with a holiday package. By bundling together hotels and flights, you will often be able to take advantage of preferential rates, as opposed to standard single rates when booking separately. You will also save time matching hotel availability to your flights. If flexibility isn’t your priority, Las Vegas holiday deals could leave you more money to spend in the city itself, rather than on getting there.

When should you book a holiday package to Las Vegas?

Booking a Las Vegas flight and hotel package is an efficient way to save on stress and cash. For the best deals and rooms, it’s advisable to search for Las Vegas holiday deals during quieter periods. Traveling during the week is generally more affordable than at weekends, and by booking earlier you can help avoid higher rates. The July-August ‘Monsoon’ season is a good time to find Las Vegas travel deals, as most travelers opt to visit during spring and fall when the weather is hotter and dryer. It’s also a good time to get away from the concrete and visit the surrounding valleys, mountains and national parks in cooler weather.

Whilst searching for Las Vegas travel deals, be sure to check out seasonal activities. Most crowd-pulling events such as the NASCAR race, the Super Bowl, and the Rodeo happen during fall and winter as well as major conventions such as the Consumer Electronics Show and the Magic International.
