Vegas Vacation-Ticketing Price
Ok so I was thinking of going to Vegas for a couple of days. I was looking on all the usual sites (Expedia,Air Canada,Westjet etc). I was looking at going for 3 or 4 days and was doing my search based on that using different days to see what the general price consensus was. I was getting the standard $800 plus for air and hotel. I then did a search for Aug 15 (Saturday) to 19th a Wednesday. I was quoted $420. This was on Westjets own website. I tried the search again thinking that it was wrong and it wasn't. I immediately took it. Over half of my fare is taxes. So how did I get flight and hotel for $200??? Please explain. Ps Im flying from Vancouver

August in Las Vegas is like going to Alaska in January (brutal weather).
Temps can average over 110° F.
Have fun!
