I'm going to Vegas in Sept 2010 should I book now or are holiday prices likely to come down if I wait ?

Question

I'm going with my boyfriend and wondered if I should book before Jan 2010 as VAT is going up, will this effect the price of holidays? I'll prob book through lastminute.com, are the prices likely to come down nearer the time of the holiday or am I better off booking it now ?? Thanks

Hi there,

If I could just make a suggestion - book the hotel and airfare seperate, thats how you get the cheaper deals. British Airways should have a great sale on in January...you dont say where you are from...if from the UK and you dont mind if you dont fly direct Continental usually have some pretty good flight prices. I
f you see a good price on your flights and you no the dates you want to travel I would go ahead and book. Please make sure that there is no big conventions on at the time of your travel as this could double the prices of hotels.
You can get amazing deals booking direct with the hotels, as there are lots of promo codes coming out all the time, check out -

Most promo codes are direct with the hotel and most of them are fully refundable if you cancel 48/72hours before the date of the reservation (make sure of this before booking, it will state it) and you only need to pay the 1st night as your deposit.

Answer 2

Holiday prices should not affect the price charged for Sept travel. Try booking direct with the hotel. Most have websites with a calendar that shows the rate for each date. Often times the rates will go down the closer they get to the date of your stay, as they try to fill up rooms at the last minute.

Answer 3

thats the thing do you risk buying now and paying more or risk leaving it later and paying even more...it just a thing you have to decide...i would prob say before jan as like you said about the VAT going up

Answer 4

I would wait a bit longer. The exchange rate £-$ may improve.

Answer 5

WAIT! 90 days before the trip. Then book it.

Answer 6

Book now with all the deals, waiting like airfare and the price could go up. Holiday prices never come down

Answer 7

question is not will prices change but will your boy friend change.
