Great Deals in Las Vegas: A One Stop Look

We may be going through tough economical times but Las Vegas is offering some great deals for those who still want to play.

One example of this is the Mandalay Bay. Last year a 2-night package with $150 of amenity and dining credits and access to the Moorea Beach Club would have cost $679. This year a similar package starts at $89 per night and also brings a pile of privileges starting with suite upgrades, in resort credits, a fly back free voucher and 2-for-one admission to shows and House of Blues meals.

Las Vegas is not about to give up with one losing hand and is certainly not going to wait for economic change. Of course Las Vegas is not immune to what is going on economically but as early as March 2008 the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority started a campaign called Vegas Right Now and the results can be seen in the great deals that are being promoted.
