Vegas deals aplenty

What do you get when you cross gambling, lots of booze, tons of shows, great restaurants and plenty of scantily clad guys and gals (many of whom dance on stage in town)? Sin City, of course. In a city designed around excess, parties and having a great time, it is no wonder many people flock to Vegas for its wealth of entertainment and opportunity to get into trouble. As it turns out, however, those flocks have been growing increasingly smaller as the economy has kepy many gamblers and revelers at home this year—which has meant for some phenomenal deals on vacation packages to Sin City. Southwest Airlines Vacations. Indulge for less with great rates on vacation packages to Las Vegas.

For those who like to find the best last minute deals out there, it is still not too late to plan a fantastic Memorial Day getaway to Vegas this year. In effort to lure people from their homes during the year of the staycation, hotels across Vegas are offering up some pretty fantastic prices. As it turns out, the New York New York Hotel is offering a $300 flight credit and one free night for a return visit June 1-August 31 if you book a hotel over Memorial Day.

Not far down the strip from the New York New York, you can also save up 55% on rooms at the Luxor. If you book travel by May 20, Friday and Saturday stays start at just $79, with weekday stays at $55. If you travel before December 28, 2009, you also get a $25 dining credit.
