Vegas Business Cancellations Mean Bargains for You

President Obama’s implication that you can’t have a serious business conference in places like Las Vegas and Orlando has severely hurt Las Vegas convention business. This has caused meetings to be moved to other cities, often significantly more expensive ones, because CEOs want to avoid potential criticism.
These cancellations mean that Las Vegas first class and deluxe hotels–especially those near the convention center such as the Las Vegas Hilton–are hurting for business. That means incrediable potential values for you.
Actually, the number of visitors to Las Vegas remains rather stable per the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, with fewer arriving by air but more by car, yet without the convention business, the prices they are paying are incredibly low.
Using a link like Last-Minute Hotel Deals at Expedia.com, check weeknight prices at the Las Vegas Hilton and others. Last I checked, $39 plus tax per night for the Hilton–and this is not even a “name your own price” rate.
The Convention Center area puts you close to most Las Vegas attractions and has two stations on the monorail at the Convention Center and at the Las Vegas Hilton.
