    Default Westjet Vacations to Vegas, middle of May, book now or wait?

    We're planning to go to Vegas around May 17, should we book now or wait a while longer for a better deal??

    Also, we wanna stay at Tropicana as it says their renos are gonna be done in April, should we trust that date? Or will we get there in May and shit will still be in renovations?

    Check the pricing every day. When it gets to a point where you're happy, book it.

    The last time I waited I wound up regretting it as I waited too long and the flight sold out, save for 3 seats, that were like $600 each.

    Prices are subject to availability - so its in your best interest to book in advance.

    Like a previous poster said, when you find a price you're comfortable with, get it all booked and confirmed so you don't have to worry about it going higher

    Fly Allegion Air Lines out of Great Falls, you'll save a boat load.
    Booked a flight + hotel for 4 nights in April, cost a mere $450.

    In reality, its very rare that you save very much money considering the 10 hours of driving/preperation, storage of vehicle and the nickle and diming from Allegiant Air. IE Seat Selection, Baggage etc.

    If you were doing it with a group of 4-6 then sure, when you split the cost of gas, parking etc, its not bad, but its still a matter of spending the additional transit time to save a couple bucks

    Keep in mind that with WestJet Vacation's, you can only cancel up to 21 days prior to your trip.

    I'm doing a trip from Kalispell.... it's totally worth the drive for me. My friends are paying about $1100 for their package while I'm paying only $450 +gas shared. Over the 3 of us driving down its about 2k in savings.

    Book early especially with Vegas. They raise their rates as their rooms book up. Same goes for wj flights. I help monitor these rates everyday at work. .

    Ah fuck...I want some free show tickets....I booked Mon to Thurs in May, Westjet Vacations, to the newly renovated Tropicana for 440 a person, not too shabby compared to the other times I been, it's my gf's first time so I figure I can cheap out this time and go fancy the next time All she wants to do is see the M&M store...I wouldn't mind checking out some shows though like Chriss Angel...

    Haven't seen him myself, even though I find his TV show completely lame. But everyone I've talked to that has seen his show in Vegas says it was a total waste of money. If you find WWE legitimate entertainment, then you might enjoy Angel's show.

    Cirque, BMG, are worth every penny though.

    Ok cool, thanks for the tip....what would be a good magic/illusionists show to go to?

    Last time we went and saw the Cirque du Soliel adult show and it was very entertaining, especially the 2 naked chicks swimming around in the giant glass haha...the crossdressed host was hilarious too, highly reccomend it

    I would book sooner than later.

    How long you going for? Just a heads up if you are into clubs, memorial day (weekend) at the end of May is one of the best times to party in Vegas.

    It's not a magic show, but the Jabbawockeez show I went to was one of the highlights of my last trip to Vegas.
