I recommend to book separately. I have never found a cheaper deal in a package.

Look for your airfare through southwest.com, airtran.com, farechase.com or kayak.com. Southwest and Airtran are both budget airlines that are great, and Farechase and Kayak are sites that list all flights at their current prices, no markup- they take you directly to the airline’s website to see it.

For your hotel stay, definitely go to http://smartervegas.com/ They list the least expensive promotions given by the hotel. Luckily, because of the recession, a lot of hotels have lowered their rates. You can stay at Excalibur (my favorite) from $22/night sometimes. Smartervegas.com also takes you directly to the hotel website to book your room so there are no middle man markups. I usually pay around $200 or less for a 5-night stay(Sun-Thu)

Good Luck!

In my experience the best is to book air and hotel separately for the best price. For flights check kayak.com and for hotel rooms I recommend http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com – it has the latest hotel promo codes available.

The trick to getting a good deal on a package is to be sure you are comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges. The key is the flight. Usually the package will have the worse flight available. Normally it is a red eye over night. Then when you get to Vegas you arrive at 6 in the morning or something like that and you can’t check in until 3 PM. Go to this site and they try to explain how to compare package deals and booking separately. You have to do your homework to get the best deal that will meet your needs.

Your question is specific to the region you travel from. For instance, if you have a Southwest Hub in your nearby airport, that is a wonderful place to look for a deal. If you go to a website, such as Expedia, and put in your nearby airport you can search for a special deal and compare that with other sites. If you are lucky, and are near several airports, it is well worth trying all the hubs within driving distance.
Another way to handle it is to research the type of vacation you want and find a sample booking, (i.e., Cesar’s Palace, weekdays, show tickets, etc.) and carry your prospective vacation package to one or more reputable travel agents. Often, an agent in your area can find you special discounts or specials you can not find on your own, and they should always offer their services FREE!
Do not look at individual hotel websites for the best deals, as they often are not there. They are good locations for information about what is available at that facility. Get the best deal for your money. For instance, a room upgrade or free show tickets may be a greater value for you. Also, be wary of the quality of the hotels. Most hotels on the strip are very good, but you also get what you pay for. You should be able to get a quality mid strip 4 star reasonably weekdays.

yahoo.com travel, aol. is good as well.
cheaptickets.com has some good ones. vegas.com
there are so many and depending on the day and month, you can get something from $100 for three days to a higer rate. It is mostly research and staying current with the sites.
