Why are rooms so expensive in vegas this week?

Is there a big convention or something?

Yes. Convention list.

Nice link, afish.

I'll be one of 20000 at Interop...and there is another show (shopping centers) twice as big the same week.

The convention business LV pulls is unreal.

yes big convention(s), my dad is out there and never goes to vegas

Yep, and I expect to make some ching this week. We're busy. Whenever there is two big conventions like there is this week, or one big one like CES, then they raise room rates, often dramatically. During CES, there were people staying in Mesquite and Laughlin complaining about the prices.
