Why is the Weekend of April 3-5, So Freaking Expensive!?

Guys,

I can not figure it out!?

Why is the first weekend of April 2009 so expensive?

Is their a fight or a conference that Friday, Saturday.

Please let me know because its painful seeing all these rates go down for the entire month (across the resorts), but not for those two days.

Thank you so much for anyone who can add some insight.

Spring break for many of the high schools and grade schools. I think its also the country music awards at MGM.

NCAA Basketball finals

yeah. Mens College BB finals.

Try smartervegas.com You may be able to find a deal for your dates. We%26#39;re going the 1st weekend of MM which is usually expensive but found a good deal at Mandalay Bay. Just have to keep looking.

The ACM Awards are on the 5th at the MGM. I am going the 5-10 and it is really cheap during that time period. I looked over several hotels and that time it is usually about 20-40$ / night cheaper than the weeks before and after.

We%26#39;re going the 2-7th for ACMs. Paying for the convenience of being at MGM for the events. Almost 3X as much as we paid for 5 nights during cheap time-week before Christmas.

Actually made our reservation for 3-7 and now flying on 2nd to take advantage of free certificate travel. Hoping to get a good promo deal for the 2nd. That night will probably be at a different hotel.

Besides the ACM awards on Sunday at the MGM, there are two biggie conventions going on April 3-5 weekend: Bowling convention with 150,000 people and a broadcasters convention of 115,000 people. Tthere are many smaller conventions that weekend as well.

Like others have said, school ends for many that Friday for a week off for spring or Easter break.

We will be there that weekend, too, for a niece%26#39;s wedding.

The bowling ';convention'; isn%26#39;t an issue. It%26#39;s an ongoing event that appears on the convention calendars irrespective of what dates you enter through July. National Association of Broadcasters convention is in April but later in the month.

NCAA Final Four isn%26#39;t a huge deal in Vegas like the earlier rounds of March Madness - there%26#39;s only a few games to bet on - but will still bring in some visitors. The awards is the big event of the weekend.

Don%26#39;t forget about NHRA. That will add a few more people. We normally go in April for that and I am glad we decided on October this year. We always seem to go on the weekend that is the most expensive. Maybe our luck is changing!!
