We went this year the second full week of November - the week after Jersey week - the weekend was busy, but by Monday and Tuesday we were walking on to pretty much everything. It was really a great time to be there, plus the Christmas decorations were up! We got to see the Osbourne (sp?) lights at MGM on their opening night - WOW - that in and of itself made the trip worthwhile. Also it was a last minute trip - we booked about 7 weeks out and were able to get lodging at VB and SSR without too much of a problem - even ADR wasn't too difficult! I highly recommend that time!
