Vegas between Xmas and New Years?

[Derek in NYC]

Wife and I are thinking of flying to Vegas on Xmas eve, and spending a week there, departing before New Years Eve. What's the town like during this time?

I don't know, but I'll be there. Even if it's slow, it's action baby and I got nowhere else to be.

The town is absolutely dead. Room rates are the lowest of the year until New Years eve.

P.S. Out of idle curiosity, I just checked for reservations. The lowest rate for Dec. 31 is $759.

Non existant! That is the single most expensive night of the year and most hotels are sold out weeks in advance. You can find some smaller hotels (Monte Carlo, Boardwalk, Flamingo, Barbary, ect..) for under 300, but that will be about it. Most are going to be 300-600 for that night. With the Hard Rock, Palms, Venetian, Bellagio, Wynn and Mandalay Bay all being in the 650-1000 range.
