    I just want to make a follow up comment on these room prices. This year we pre-booked our room at the "group rate" of $129 (or whatever it was) at Paris. The day before we left, I received and email from Caesar's stating rooms at Paris were $64 for the same time period. I know, I know, you are going to say "those are guaranteed rates...blah, blah..." BUT it sure seems the "group" could negotiate these lower prices well ahead of time. Especially with the daily news stories about how Vegas is suffering due to big drops in visitors. Long gone are the days of "cheap" trips to Sin City. Hint: there is a mini Target Store on the strip with normal prices on everyday items you may need.

    I know that the APA books a block of rooms in order to get meeting space but I think that we could have negotiated a better price. If you are a Ceasars member and most should be if you have a loyalty card, Ceasars is running a semi annual sale for all their properties. The price includes the resort fee. It blows away our "Special Price".

    Thank you for your feedback. I wanted to confirm that APA has negotiated a $69/night rate at the Horseshoe and $89/rate at Paris for the 2026 Expo. The rates are available Sunday through Thursday night. Please note that if you plan to stay over Friday night or into the weekend, the rate will be higher. 

    The room rate will be available until January 21 or until rooms are filled – book early to save!!  Click here to book your room today

    Adding on to Bryant's post, if you are a Caesar's Rewards member, they will often comp you the rooms for the mid-week days or you get them at really discounted rates (you still have to pay the "resort fee").  We've been attending the show since it was ARA and that's been the way to go for us!  It's a write-off for sure, but we can attend more shows if we keep the travel costs down!   You can book direct at https://www.caesars.com/
