But seriously, try travelzoo.com.

I always find all sorts of badass deals there, especially for Vegas.

Wow- have fun Kori!

My mom always finds good airline deals online. I will ask her what sites she uses.

I heard you can get a really good deal if you're willing to babysit kids.

Dean says funjet has good deals, although lately packages to Vegas have been outrageous.

Thanks for the tips. Just using Expedia, looks like two airline tickets and hotel room for four days comes to around $700-800. Not that bad. I think LJ can win that much playing poker while we are there. :smokin

That's not bad. Sometimes Southwest has decent packages too, and direct flights that can make any extra cost worth it.

Shouldn't you have been looking for airline and hotel for 3?

I can testify that it was NOT a good deal in any way, shape or form.
Except that I got to hang out with Angel for a day, which is always fun despite the screaming kids.

I'm a freelancer, so no one pays for such things. There's just a conference I am choosing to attend as an excuse to go to Vegas.

I considered doing the same thing for the same conference, but I'm saving my money for UNITY in Chicago next summer.

I have never found a site that can beat www.kayak.com

it polls every site online and gives you a listing of the prices. I found 1 way airfare from vegas back home for 100 bucks.

hubby is leaving today for Lost Wages on a direct flight via SW. I don't remember what his fare was, since he booked it months ago.

Just a head's up for anyone thinking of using hotwire and travelling with kids. A couple years ago we booked a flight for the 3 of us (me, Jim, and Ben who at the time required a carseat) to Denver. We went through hotwire and saved about $100, which we thought was a pretty good deal. We had a layover each way, which didn't sound like a big deal when we bought the ticket.

All 4 times we boarded we were the LAST passengers seated (because our ticket was electronic?? I don't know.) and they put us at the very back of the plane. So twice on the way there and twice on the way home, we had to wait in the lobby with a grumpy 2-year-old until everybody had been seated, then carry said grumpy 2-year-old and his carseat and our carry-ons all the way down the crowded aisle of people looking at us like we'd help up the plane.

We decided it would be easier to just pay full price.

Bummer. I've used Hotwire many times and never had any problems. I think it's the best site on the net especially for hotel prices.

I have used Priceline several times for vacation packages... you should give them a try too.
