If Vagas

If Vagas can offer hotel rooms for 79.00 at the Monte Crisco and 49.00 for X-calibur resorts, than why does disney resorts have to be so high. yes I know they want our gambling dollars, but We are spending alot in the parks on food, clothing,souvenirs etc. just wondering.

I think the biggest reason, one you discarded, is the fact that most of Las Vegas is paid for by gambling profits. Notice there aren't any big resort-hotels in Vegas without a casino!

There are plenty of rooms in Vegas that cost more than those you mentioned. And the rates you mentioned are discounted rates, not "rackk" rates. Try getting those kind of rates during a heavyweight fight weekend, or a major convention. Good Luck!

I have stayed at Disney Resorts for $49.00, and for $79.00. The discounts are out there, if you can find them , adn if you travel during off-peak times. Why should they sell a room at a discount when people are more than willing to pay full price? If you want cheap, stay offsite; there's plenty of competition for your dollars there!

It's my opinion that Disney resorts are a great value, even at full rack prices. When I can find a discount, they're even better.

Your opinion may be different.

Vegas can run its self on gambling money alone. I saw this fact....the profits alone from only the quarter slot machines in Caesers Palace pays all thier bills. This includes all payroll, utilities and everything incorperated with running the hotel. Every other table and slot machine is just pure profit....thus these hotels can give drastic and even sometimes free rooms to customers.

Not all hotels in Las Vegas are cheap. The hotels you mentioned (Monte Carlo and Excalibur) offer big discounts because they want your gambling dollars! Our discounted rate at the Bellagio was about $189/night, and that's not cheap.

You can find great rates at Disney resorts if you look around.
