happenings in vegas early may

what is going on the first week in may in vegas? rooms seem extremely high. and some places, like orleans are full!
We're looking to go May 4-9 and rooms are much more expensive. I've been told the Kentucky Derby is that first weekend, there is a big boxing match that weekend and Cinqo d' Mayo is also celebrated on the Sunday (4th) in Vegas, but that doesn't explain why Monday-Thursday rates are so high.

Sorry for the double post, I pad problems.

It should be a holiday, they are the hardest working people in our country at this time.
Makes up a large work force in vegas.
Please speak for yourself. So I guess you are saying "these people" are harder working than you. They do not even come close to my effort. Not even close. You have a happy Monday, May 5. I will have a happy 4th of July.
