Airfare increases based on proximity to departure date. It is a holiday weekend so pricing is based on demand. Fuel cost will come into play but airlines lock themselves into purchase agreements for price certainty so don't expect a huge decrease in fares anytime soon.

Regarding priorities, coupon value plays an integral part of my trip planning. I don't go to Vegas to gamble. I enjoy the games but only if the game is positive or close enough with promotions and comps that is is a zero sum game. Nothing beats a free vacation while spending time with a loved one. That is my priority.
The comp and coupon game is more fun to me than the actual games. I hesitate to say the money is irrelevant but that's not far from true.
