We had Dollar booked 21 Dec - 28 Dec - $259.00 including all taxes and fees.
(We are staying until Jan 1 and were going to take a cab to the airport, but after getting hosed by both cab drivers last time I changed the reservation to return the car to the airport on Jan 1st) Rated had dropped - now have a mid-size from 21 Dec to 1 Jan for $308.00 including all taxes and fees - and don't have to argue with a cab driver.

Keep checking. My full size for the week of 10/10-16 was over $320.00 when I first booked. dropped downmore than $100.00 ($211.07) with about 2 weeks left before the trip. If you are a Dollar Express member (costs nothing to sign up) then you go straight to your car when you arrive at McCarren. You get to wave to the folks in the longest line at McCarren (Dollar), as you walk to the garage!

I agree with Champ - walking past that long line at the rental counter is a great start to the Vegas trip!

I have been checking Dec rates and have a "City Special" for a week at 89 dollars, Ford Focus.
I have also signed up for their Express sign up.

Thanks for the tips.
