Airfare Recommendations
Here are ways to get the best deal on airfare to the World Electronics Forum (WEF):
- Buy your ticket now. A 14-day advance used to be good enough, but with oil prices in such flux – with many speculating that the prices will only continue to rise – locking in airfare now is likely prudent.
- Travel midweek. Tuesdays through Thursdays are generally less expensive days to fly. Flights that depart very early or late in the day are often more affordable than mid-day flights.
- Shop around. If you are booking on a travel website, compare them against the official airline's website, too. Plus, travel sites don't feature every airline that flies into Las Vegas.

Vegas.com Tipping Tips
Since Las Vegas is a service-based city, tipping is a big, big deal. You may not be too sure how much to tip and when. So here's a quick rundown.
- Bellmen: They usually receive $1 a bag, but an extra tip is suggested if you use them to make show reservations, hail cabs or provide other additional assistance.
- Taxi drivers: These folks drive like mad to get you where you're going, they help you with your bags, and provide a little chit-chat along the way. About 15 percent of your total fare should make up for their efforts.
- Valet parking and maid service attendants: We suggest $1 to $2 each day.
- Dealers: Tipping a dealer is a little trickier. You can give the dealer a tip in between hands or spins, and this tip can range from $1 to as much as you want to give. You also can wait until the end of your session and tip the dealer then.
- Cocktail waitresses: About $2 per round is sufficient for a small group (2-3 people). Increase for larger groups. Don't fail to tip, even if your drinks are comped.
- Change person: Don't forget to slip a few bucks to these helpful folks — especially if you win.
These are just suggestions — and you're always welcome to tip more!
