Outrageous car rental prices

Our up coming two week Vegas trip is Oct. 27 thru Nov. 10. On Oct 8, we found a Thrifty midsize car for $313.24 (total with taxes and fees). This was a modification from our original $344.84.In the past, we have always been able to find cheaper rates nearer trip time. Yesterday Thrifty "Wild Card" price was $487.42; Alamo, using Costco code,the cheapest rate "Economy" was $607.17; and Payless "Economy" was $772.44. I hope this is not a trend for future car rentals.
outrageous taxes and fees
SEMA Show week makes it very expensive.
We have been trying to book Christmas week and it's more than it's ever been during that week too. In the past we have paid between $150 and $225 on average for a intermediate to full size car. Right now it's running $350 for an economy size car. UGH! Hoping it goes down!

March 2016 15 to 23 Budget fastbreak 190.74 ford focus only 2 of us lol I always ck up to the last day prepaid .
I booked about a month ago with Advantage for $89 for a full size for Nov 10-14 after always checking Dollar and Alamo frequently and they were always double. Terrible pricing over-all.
