Making a mistake

This mistake really ruined my Vegas trip.

There are mistakes and then there are the big mistakes. We don’t know if there are any statistics on how many Vegas visitors make this one big mistake.

It is one of the major mistakes that can cost a visitor money, and like in my case, a good dose of misery. Read this short article and ensure you never suffer as I did.

Whenever you plan a trip to Vegas it will be to your advantage to check the convention calendar. A large convention or a group of small ones can swell hotel demand and cause prices to soar and availability to diminish. When this happens, a room that usually cost in the $49.99-$69.99 range can soar to $199 or more when a convention is in town. This is true even if the convention is not at the Hotel where you want to stay.

On two occasions I made this mistake. I did not check the calendar and I suffered, really suffered. On one of these trips the closest affordable room, with my budget, was in Jean Nevada 25 miles away. It was at the Nevada Landing which is no longer there.

One of downsides of this property was that they used what seemed like 25 watt bulbs in my room. It was like walking into a cave. I had to feel my way around. I guess they wanted me to go to the lighted areas, like the casino. LOL

On another trip, I made the same mistake and ended up at the Days Inn on Koval behind the Paris. It was about the only place I could get into at the time. It, too, is now gone. It was condemned and closed shortly after my stay. That the casino was closed and tables covered should have been a clue that all was not well. When water came down through the ceiling into my room’s bathroom, I evicted myself and fled. Fortunately, I did find a room at Samstown on Boulder Highway. At least, after great frustration, this fiasco ended well.

Learn from my mistakes. Check the convention calendar and save money and prevent some bad experiences. You can check the convention schedule by going to: www.vegasmeansbusiness.com
