I drove to Vegas from Texas in February 2007 for my best friends’ wedding. It was the week before Valentine’s Day, which was a great time to go. The rates there go up and down like crazy, all holidays seem to be peak times, but if you go during the week everything is considerably cheaper. I stayed at the Circus Circus and it was GREAT, though I was disappointed that when I went the spinning bar off of Fear and Loathing wasn’t open! They design the places so that you’ll get lost in the casinos- and you will. I really enjoyed the alcohol policy, you can go practically anywhere with a drink! For the wedding night dinner we ate at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant http://www.eiffeltowerrestaurant.com/. The bill was $300 for 4 people, AMAZING views, an awesome experience. I can’t wait to go back, you can’t come close to seeing everything in a week.
