So I'm booking Internext...

Now, I'm not cheap. Anyone who knows me, knows I typically grab at least an upgraded room if not a suite when I go to shows. I'm a high maintenance bitch ya know. 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'.

LOL... My favorite local BBQ place has beef brisket, pork, chicken and sausage. Get any one you want with your chosen sides, or mix and match.

I like to stop there for lunch and get their deluxe baked potato (Texas-sized of course) with all the usual toppings, plus chopped beef brisket and BBQ sauce.

I'm comin' on my Ribs Over America tour. I have eaten those Jurassic ribs in Texas. Maybe you can introduce me to good ones.

I'll pay for convenience and comfort, but there are limits. And over triple the going rate is beyond that limit for me.

Absolutely agree with your approach for getting most bang for the buck.

For me personally, I haven't rented a car in vegas in a decade. Cabs are convenient and reasonably priced, and traffic is a pain. Plus, I have been known to partake in the occasional adult beverage while in Vegas. Shocking, I know, but I have found that Vegas is a fairly easy town to get drunk in.

I prefer to stay toward mid-strip so I can walk to most of my favorite spots to drink, eat and gamble.
