Some people hate Vegas; some can't live without it. Here are some reasons to visit now:
They're practically giving away luxury hotel rooms.
You no longer need to go into debt to do Vegas right. Check this: Published weekday rates of $169 at Wynn Las Vegas, $129 at Bellagio. Where else can you stay at a Four Seasons Resort for $200 per night plus tax, plus get a $100 resort credit? (Not for nothing is the Vegas property rated No. 1 on TripAdvisor.) Only in Vegas, baby.
You deserve some pampering.
The home of the groaning buffet is also a major spa capital. Sophisticated facilities such as the Qua Baths at Caesars Palace and the Bathhouse at Mandalay Bay's THEhotel are a must. Many resorts are discounting spa experiences.
You need retail therapy.
Although Vegas is supposedly all about "gaming," for many visitors it's all about shopping. The malls attached to the major casinos (e.g., the Forum Shops at Caesars) are a huge draw but so are the outlet malls, such as the Las Vegas Premium Outlets South (with 140 stores) and North (150 stores). If you have a car, head for the Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas in Primm, Nev., with over 100 stores. Leave room in your suitcase.
You're craving Asian cuisine.
