Room rates this summer....

seem so much higher tahn the last couple of years.
At least $20-$30 per night more than last summer for alot of properties.
Is demand up that much? or is it like gasoline take a shot and set a high price and see if the public gets used to it?
Don't get me wrong it's still cheap compared to other vacation spots.
Between casino deals and promo codes I was just so used to getting a room for under $40 @ a decent place on the strip. And paying even less for places off of the strip.(Orleans, gold Coast).

They are higher in my opinion. However, I believe that if rooms do not fill, hotels will eventually drop the price. I see that Venetian and other large mega resorts with too many rooms to fill outside of a few days this summer are doing this type of promotions, but it might take some patience and waiting till near the last minute to book (and some risk).
