I'm looking to book now for June 2019 - 2 nights for the wife and 4 teenage kids

appreciate recommendations on how to book a great room! Bellagio would be great but don't want to pay crazy money... don't care too much where we stay but good place on the strip is important

specifically what website should I go to, to book the room to get the best rates?

Booking direct through the casino is best.

Sign up for their membership clubs online and they'll send you emails of specials. You can wait and find a deal.

If you want an app to get an idea download SmartVegas

Also, book early and keep watching. Only have to put down about 10% and it's fully refundable if you cancel. So really you're locked in at the most you'll pay and then watch for something better.



I've never tried the "$20 trick" at the front desk. Don't know if that works and seems like inflation should make that a $40 trick by now.

If you book on Priceline, etc. you will literally be on the first 3 floors. I had a buddy do that for a bachelor party and had a room at the Bellagio overlooking a kitchen vent. He saved a grand total of $10. Expect to pay more for a high room and a room over looking the fountains is even more. Since you don't go often I suggest you book both.

Cannot think of any reason to bring 4 kids to Vegas, but enjoy.

Agree with other posters re: booking options.

Are you a World of Hyatt member? Benefits transfer over to M Club, which all MGM hotels, including Bellagio are on. I gojust a pretty sweet deal for Thanksgiving and 20% off my O tickets.

Lasvegas.com and Vegas.com

They are the cheapest round trip and hotel packages usually available for two/three night stays. You may have to grease the wheels when you get there for a better room but those pacakages are pretty good for what you are looking for.

Sandwich between id and credit cards, and ask if there is anything they can do. It had worked out several ways for me:

1. Suite upgrade at vDara for 3 nights
2. Waived resort charge at Caesars
3: High floors a Venetian when paid for low
4 . Nothing and the kept my 20
5. Nothing and they gave my 20 back

Better view is usually the easiet to get

I almost always book through the casino hotel. But a couple of times we have done a Southwest Airline vacation package. Those can be good deals.

Also if you e-mail Mlife services after your stay you can get them to award your hotel points to your Hyatt account.
