Thanks in advance!

If you go the week prior to Christmas, it is usually the cheapest time to travel to Vegas. And quietest as well, least crowded. Southwest Vacations has some of the best combo packages around (air plus hotel), you simply pick your travel dates and times and then hotel you want to stay at, they give you the best price around. But this depends if you are in the Southwest travel city.

Two other sites that give you great prices are www.vegas.com (air + hotel) and www.bestofvegas.com for hotel only.

I've stayed at Bally's (middle of the strip, easy access to everything) for less $500 for 4 days/3 nights for 2 people including air from Bay Area. And you can pay less depending on hotel, Bally's is a nice mid level one, there are more affordable options.

If you are planning to spend much time on the strip and decide to stay way off it to save money on hotel, calculate how much money you will spend on taxis to get to and from strip, in the end you may be better off staying at a decent place on the strip and save yourself time AND money.
