Las Vegas Hotels - Better to just turn up?

[Stedman]

Hi guys and girls,

Myself and 2 other lads are going to Phoenix and then Las Vegas (first time in Vegas for all of us) in September.

We were looking at staying in the New York New York. Dates are 15th-20th Sept.

Has anyone here had experience of just turning up at a hotel in Vegas? I wouldn't mind giving it a go as;

A) I think we could get a great deal that's better than the ones on the internet at the moment.

and,

B) I think flying by the seat of our pants in this respect could be quite fun

What are your thoughts? Any other suggestions on what to do in Vegas or your experiences are also welcome, but not necessary

Many thanks!

Plenty of hotels, so should be fine to just show up... I have done so a couple of times at the four seasons there. New York New York should be no problem

I booked our Cosmo room with them for March, by far the best prices.

They are selling NYNY on your dates for £278!

I've done this a couple of times. You shouldn't have a problem getting a room, but both times it was cheaper to book online for me...using the hotels wifi.

It shouldn't be an issue getting a room but from what we saw when we were there it was more expensive to just turn up than book online. If you can afford it then yeah go for it but with so many hotels there really isn't much of a risk of not getting rooms so not so exciting.

The other lads aren't so keen on my idea unfortunately. Hey-ho.
