Vegas Dec. 26th-30th...... dead or crazy??????
I've heard posters say Vegas is dead around Christmas time, and then real crazy after Christmas. Is this true? A friend asked me to go to Vegas with him. The possible dates being: Dec. 18th-23rd, and Dec. 26th-30th. What's it like around these times? We are both 23, and would like to gamble, party, etc... Worth going at these times, or should we wait for a better time to go?

Things start to get nuts throughout the week, and by the 31st there are literally 300,000 visitors in town. Usually the busiest day of the year. |

At least now they have the rodeo in December. And several properties market like hell to bring in Asian guests (who don't celebrate Christmas, I guess, and aren't feeling their budgets squeezed in December).
It must've been a helluva lot worse before these two developments. |

Thats the same week I am going down, my dad insisted that it would be a slow time of year and how he could get a great deal on air/room. But once his choice travel agencys around town were charging $450+ for air/room he was begging me and my brother to whore out some online prices.
We ended up getting $330 for 4 nights and air each (taxes and fees included). The hotel isn't all that great, it is off the strip but my brother was boasting how he found a (better) deal with the Lady Luck downtown for $275 but before we could take a look at it, it was sold out. There isn't any big conventions going on (atleast not that I know of) but by any means it doesn't mean it will be dead. |

[/ QUOTE ] This will be absolutely insane; maybe close or worse than Thanksgiving Friday. I just wish I could be there to play in some of those games. |

I was in Vegas Dec 24 to Dec 27 a few years ago and here's a three word recap of what I witnessed: LOTS OF ASIANS. The usual overweight American tourists were fewer in number, but not entirely absent.

I'll be there, staying at Monte Carlo, the 26th-28th. We're going to see seinfeld and I was afraid the place would be dead, but hopefully there will be a lot of tourists and bad players.
