What is the best way to get an agreement for the hotels in Las Vegas?

If you haven’t already, follow the advice of the other poster and sign up for their club online. Vegas hotels sometimes send fairly impressive deals to you through the mail once they have your address. Since you’re now short on time, though, the best bet is to do your research by checking the online sites already mentioned to find the best deal being offered, then call the hotel directly (not the central 1(800) number, the direct number) and see if they’ll beat it. Remember to be exceedingly pleasant (but not sticky sweet) when you call. Keep in mind that room rates in Vegas double on weekends and some hotels will not accept a Saturday check-in.

If you’re not looking for luxury, and especially if you’re renting a car to get around, the rooms downtown are generally cheaper, and don’t go up quite as much on weekends.

I can vouch for The Orleans. For the relatively low price, it’s a good deal – large rooms, great amenities, and security at the elevators to make sure there’s no riff-raff wandering around near your room. The shuttle to Barbary Coast isn’t as much of a hassle as some whiners on the Net have implied.
