What Hotel Rates Look Like For The Fourth Of July Weekend
Memorial Day is a great kickoff to the summer season (if you don't have plans yet, check what's going on here), but nothing can compete with the mid-summer July 4th celebration. It'll be hotter than hell in Vegas, no doubt figuratively and literally, yet we're hard-pressed to think of a cooler long weekend to pop into town. With the Fourth falling on a Thursday this year, you can make a nice little getaway out of our nation's birthday.
The best part is that there is no minimum stay for any of the hotels we checked, so it's a good time to hop around and catch the best value. For example, you could stay at the Luxor for only $55 on July 3rd, then Planet Hollywood on the 4th where it's only $105, and take your pick from there. In general, rates are pretty reasonable, though, so have fun and get creative.
*All rates are of Wednesday, May 15th. But, as always, the can change at a moment's notice based on demand.

A Look At Rates For St. Patrick's Day Weekend
Well, if you can believe it, it's almost March already. Almost time for March Madness and pool season, and in another month, we'll be on the verge of spring. So, let's celebrate, yeah? Every drinker's Irishman's favorite day of the year is coming up on March 17. We checked in to see what rates are looking like for the next big party weekend in Vegas.
Our price points below are based on the best available rate if you check in on Friday, March 15 and check out the morning of Monday, March 18th. We highlighted properties that have things happening for St. Patty's, as well as a few perennial faves.
Rates will fluctuate depending upon room availability and length of stay. For example, you can get a Luxury Suite at the Venetian for $169 the night of March 17, but if you arrive on Friday and stay until Monday, there are no Luxury Suites available. You'll have to pay a bit more for the Luxury View Suite at $209 per night. So, keep that in mind when playing around with the dates.

A Look At Rates For Electric Daisy Carnival
Even though Electric Daisy Carnival isn't until the end of June (June 21-23), hotel rates are already significantly higher than they were for EDC this time last year.
If you're planning on attending this year's party, be sure to act quick! We've collected the initial rates below from some of the hotels we recommended last year. EDC also did everyone a solid when they partnered with a few of the bigger hotels, including Luxor, New York-New York, MGM Grand, Aria, and the Bellagio. You can check the discounted rates here. As of now, some of them are cheaper than the hotels below. For example, Circus Circus is cheaper if you go through the EDC website at $87/night, and a room at the Luxor is $135/night.
By the way, three-day passes to EDC are still available. They're priced at $500 for those over 21. Single day admissions aren't being offered this year, but a lay-a-way plan is!

New Year's Eve Rates For Party People Who Are Also Procrastinators
We said earlier in December that you were running out of time and now you're downright up against the wall. While many hotels are sold out or high-priced, such as the Rio and the Hard Rock, you can still find a room out there if you want to make a last minute New Year's trek to Vegas.
We know that The Strip is packed, but what about the surrounding blocks? Here's a look at what's left at some of the more popular places off-Strip which we think are good options for those just looking for a crash pad. Gold Coast and Orleans are essentially steals given the time of year, and reduced rates on the 1st take some of the sting out of stays at places like the Hard Rock or the Palms.

Five Sweet Suites Still Available (For Now) For New Year's Eve
Yesterday, we took you through what it would cost to get a semi-last minute standard room at various Vegas hotels on New Year's Eve, but we know you've got more flash in you than two beds and a sink.
New Year's Eve rates at Circus Circus ($478) might incite a raise of an eyebrow so how about a one-bedroom balcony suite for two nights at Signature for a few dollars more? Given that rates for the 1st of January always drop way low, you can easily come out on top if you play your cards right. Time is running out to get creative, but here are a couple sweet suites that are still available:

Need A Room For New Year's Eve? Here's How Much It'll Cost
We're just under three weeks from New Year's Eve, but hotels still have room for those who wish to ring in 2013 under the bright lights of Vegas. (Except for New York-New York, they're now sold out on the 31st. The Cosmopolitan's standard rooms, which had required a three-night stay, are sold out, too.) Most Vegas hotels are requiring at least a two-night stay to ensure a room on the city's biggest night. Some require booking both the 30th and 31st while others allow you to stay the 1st as your second night, which is significantly cheaper across the board. In some cases, staying the nights of the 31st and the 1st can save you almost $200 (which is the case for Bally's).
Here's the breakdown on the policies and prices of some randomly selected Vegas hotels. And, don't forget to check out our Ultimate Guide to New Year's Eve once you get a room!

Rates on The Strip are Dynamite for Fourth of July, But Book Now
If you're heading to Las Vegas for the Fourth of July, consider staying at least through the 7th as that's when the fireworks are shooting off on the Strip. But, regardless of your dates (Wednesday-Sunday or Friday-Sunday), room rates in Sin City are looking pretty good right now.
Doing a cursory look at Expedia for July 6-8*, we found The Wynn for just $216 a night while the The Encore (above) is just $209. That rate is so good, we hardly would look elsewhere. (Of course, that doesn't include the resort fee.) The Venetian is even cheaper at $204 a night, sans resort fee. The Cosmopolitan, however, is $295 a night -- the highest in the land.

Need A Hotel Room Memorial Day Weekend? We Don't Envy You
Still thinking about hitting Vegas for Memorial Day Weekend? If all-you-can-golf for $85 convinced you to book a last minute flight from Iowa or the razzle dazzle of our sparkly 2012 Pool Guide had you packing a Speedo bikini, hotel rooms are likely next on the shopping list.
When we last checked rates in early April, a $300 budget meant you were shacking up at Circus Circus ($284) or the D ($272). For those that had a grand to burn, The Cosmopolitan ($807) and Aria ($992) but not quite Mandarin Oriental $(1,257) were within reach. In other words, hotel rates for this weekend were already ridiculous nearly two months out. With one eye closed, we pray to the booking engine gods at hotelrates.hotelchatter.com and check in on what those rates look like today. You might want to be sitting down. With a stiff drink.

How Rates For Memorial Day Weekend Are Looking
We know how to find out why the rates are so damn high when we don't know what's going on, but the last weekend of May is obvious -- Memorial Day weekend. And, taking a look at the rates, a little less than two months out and things are already cringe-worthy.
Clicking around our sister site's uber booking engine at hotelrates.hotelchatter.com, we find that anything under $300 bucks a night will have you either downtown or on the edges of The Strip [think: Circus Circus ($284), the D ($272)], for the most part.
In the $300 range, you'll find places like Harrah's ($315), Stratosphere ($318) and The Orleans ($340). Yeah, that's right. We haven't even gotten to the big boys yet.

Checking In On Room Rates For EDC
The show will (seemingly) go on for Electric Daisy Carnival, despite legal troubles for its organizer.
Fans are probably much more worried about when single-day tickets will be released, and if they'll be among those to snag some. Though, there's still no confirmed date on just when that will happen, three-day passes have been on sale since November. The LA Times reports that those are about 70 percent sold.

Why The Rates Are So Damn High (Or Rooms Are Hard To Find)
Most of the time in Vegas, it's pretty obvious why rates are sky high or when rooms are almost non-existant. Blame it on a holiday weekend, a big concert, a major boxing match. But, sometimes, it's not really obvious and it can be perplexing, even downright vexing.
Just ask VegasChatter Facebook fan Julie Mikeworth:
Can anyone tell me what is going on in Las Vegas the Week of April 9th. We are buying a house and are set to close that week but seem to be finding everything sold out. Inquiring minds want to know.
