Excalibur has a room for Thursday and Friday night for $444.28 (includes tax). That same room goes for $78.28 (includes tax) for Sunday and Monday.-----------------Golden Nugget (downtown) has room for $387 for Thursday Friday and Saturday)---------------Frankly I would get a room for $50 a night at the Downtowner Las Vegas and walk to Fremont Street. Then you can stay at the Golden Nugget for $168 for Friday and Saturday). The downtowner may be one of the ugliest hotels you ve ever stayed at, but it is not dangerous, but if you are going to be up all night it is a place to park your car and get a shower.
No especially since City Center s Aria just opened
Not too late but you are going to pay through the nose.
There are many hotels like MGM Grand e.g. which have rooms available. Perhaps you will also get a New Years special, I would check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com for this.
