Hello,

Any one have any advice on when would be the best time to book hotels for November in San Francisco & Las Vegas? Do you think the prices im seeing on different sites now are pretty much what they will stay at, or nearer the time will have better offers?

I know anything can happen & different sites have different offers etc, was just after some opinions & experiences.. Thanks.. :)

Fat Wallet is pretty much redundant now as it is no longer updated and maintained.

Try http://www.smartervegas.com

You might be better to book something you are happy with as a fall back in case nothing better comes along. If you book direct with the hotel you can normally cancel 48-72 hours before arrival without penalty.

If you see a San Fran hotel you like then I would book it now. Vegas is easy to get a place to stay at almost anytime but location in San Fran can be important so might be best to book earlier.

So smartervegas is ok to book through.

They are coming up with £897 for 7 nights for 4 adults in October. Not a bad price if they are reliable.

You don't book with smartervegas. That is just a site which links to offers direct on the hotels' own websites.

Which hotel is that price for?

No i will have a look at Hotels4U.

I am a bit hesitant about Travel Republic because people on here have had trouble with hotels being booked then nearer the time being told they are full. Although i have used them a couple of times with no problems.

Thanks :)

You will get promo codes through smartervegas which will make it cheaper than the rates you see on the hotels' own websites, but you would still be booking direct with the hotel and have the same cancellation policies.

We are in Vegas from 20th Oct for 7 nights and them LA for 2.

Last time in Oct my hubby and i stayed in the Venetian. But the roof top pool did not get much sun due to the buildings around it. Also this time i will have two daughters with me 22 and 18. I thought the Mirage was more lively for them. :)

Re: San Francisco & Las Vegas..
Remember that the Mirage has a daily resort fee of $22.40 inc tax on top of the room rate and that there is a 12 tax on the room rate.

Yes i know about the resort fee , that is why i looked at one room for 4 not two double rooms.

The smartervegas price included the tax, so i thought it was a good price.
