Default Help: Need to get to Vegas as Cheaply as Possible!!! (x 1Tbl)

OK here's the plan: I live in Omaha, NE and I need to get to Vegas as cheaply as possible. I would consider just driving down there, but if I could find cheap plane tickets I would go with that option as well. I will probably also need to stay in a hotel for 3 nites. I don't care if the hotel is the biggest shithole imaginable as I would only spend a few hours there. I want to play in event #2 $1500 buy-in NLHE on June 3rd, so I would probably arrive in Vegas on June 1st or 2nd and spend every moment at Rio playing $125 SNGs to accumulate chips (I am a 9% ROI player at Party $109s so I'm fairly certain I can probably acquire the $1500 much more cheaply playing satellite SNGs).

OK, so what are some suggestions for the cheapest possible 3 nite hotel stay and round trip airfare? My friend thinks I can get a 3 nite stay for around $75 and hopefully airfare isn't too bad either. Would it be possible to make this work for under 3 or 4 hundred?

Thanks so much, playing in a WSOP prelim event would just be awesome and I'm determined to make it happen.

Oh, also if any 2+2er in the Omaha area wants to join in on this expedition, they are more than welcome to join me, should be a great time.

You're going to have a beast of a time finding anyplace even halfway decent with a vacancy, at least for friday and saturday nights. You might end up at the Western.

My best suggestion would be to try someplace like Hotwire.com or Priceline. Downtown will probably be cheapest.

As for cheap last minute plane tickets, same recc, although you might see if a charter airline (like Allegiant Air) flies out of your area (or maybe Sioux Falls or something).

Good luck.

i stayed at the maxim hotel a few years back talk about a shythole. i am sure some of your vegas veterans might remember it, not sure it is around anymore. but it was gutted out and only used as a hotel at that point. talk about creepy coming home, it was totally dark and empty in the casino area.

In 1972 I slept for free in the ditch near the KOA campground...
