What was your lowest cost trip to Las Vegas?

Tweet

It is said that these days one can travel and stay in Las Vegas for a relatively small amount of money. That is if you know the tricks of the trade so to speak. I have read that one man got a $900 a night room for only $200. What was his secret? He said he simply asked. Yes, that's right. He went on to say that in Vegas you can't be afraid to ask for deals. Since tourism is down 4 percent this year compared to last year Las Vegas is practically giving their rooms away for free. For instance, the Excalibur hotel is running a $40 a night weeknight charge these days. That is the lowest I have ever heard for a hotel in Las Vegas. You can go on Priceline and check for cheap fares. One guy booked a room at the Wynn Hotel for $90 a night by bidding on priceline. You can also just walk up to the front desk and ask for a lower price instead of using the internet, just like the man I mentioned above did. Another piece of advice given by a pit boss at the Bellagio is that the best time to get rooms is after 8 p.m. At that time all the rooms not given to high rollers are handed over to salespeople who are told to sell them cheap. Has anyone had any experiences as mentioned above? What was the cheapest trip you ever took to Vegas and what was the method you used?
