But I've been getting 4-5 emails a week from various Vegas properties offering me every incentive in the world to come out. And Palms and AVN wants full price.
So I shop around a little. I can stay virtually any place else on the strip for the entire week for what one night would cost at Palms. Amusing myself, I found I could book the Penthouse suite at Bellagio for same price as the regular rooms in the fantasy tower.

I AM a cheap bastard. (I prefer to call it "frugal," but didn't want to send Gonzo running for the dictionary)
And I can't sleep, knowing I'm throwing hundreds away on a bed.
I stay downtown, and rent a car.
For the price of a week downtown, AND a rental car, it costs about the same as one night a big casino.
I also stay for CES, so I'm usually there a solid week. Parking is basically free everywhere (Except the Hilton,) so the freedom a car gives me is an added bonus.
I'm always suspicious of people and programs that blow huge sums of money on deluxe hotel rooms.
Sure, sure, we all soooo successful we can spend, spend, spend. Next year? They ain't around no mo'.
