Las Vegas casinos battle the economy with special offers

With spring season in full swing, the Las Vegas casinos should be overbooked for months to come. But thanks to the current state of the U.S. economy, the casinos on the Las Vegas Strip find themselves fighting for the decreasing traffic towards the capital of gambling. With revenues declining for the second month in a row and less people thinking about a Las Vegas vacation, now is the best time for those who can afford it to visit the gambling Mecca. According to a report coming from the WSJ, room rates at the Las Vegas Strip casinos are expected to decline 23% through May 3rd. Big casinos along the Strip now offer spring specials below the $100 mark - New York, New York casino hotel is offering spring rates of $89 per night and at the Luxor you can book a package for as low as $69 a night. If you had plans to go do some gambling at the Las Vegas casinos this year, right now is the best time to do so.
