It has been my experience that with a little hard work you can save a lot of money by researching and booking your airfare, hotel, and rental car independently. However, if you don’t have the time, patience or if cost is no issue then going to your local travel agency might be your best bet. Personally, I hate to pay more than I have to for anything and most importantly I actually enjoy the challenge of finding great deals.
If you are up to the challenge then I hope the information in this section, along with the links they contain, will assist you in obtaining the best deals possible. So far they have for me.

Bring your children to Vegas…. NOT!
Sure the Excalibur is a castle, the Luxor is a pyramid, several roller coasters are speckled throughout the strip and the decrepit Circus Circus has/is a “circus show” (pun intended). At one point the Las Vegas marketing machine even tried to sell Vegas as a family destination but quickly axed the campaign […]
