NBA All-Sar Weekend in Vegas

Sports fan or not. I'm telling you that you don't want to miss next year's NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. But especially for pro-basketball fans. I know that you've already got dollar signs floating around your head like little gnats. Yes, it will be an expensive trip if you're planning to go, but is it impossible? Not at all.

Now, you've got three options and I'll explain those to you in just a moment. First, let me start by saying that this is the ULTIMATE girlfriends or just the boys trip.  As I always stress when talking or writing about budget travel, one room to every group of four is the common sense approach for travelers on a budget. 

So you've decided that you want to go. The first thing that you need to do is decide which days you're arriving and leaving and then book a room. Today. Most of the internet travel sites like Expedia, Travelocity will not let you book that far in advance. The key is to go to the actual hotel or hotel chain's website. Starwood/Sheraton is great. You can reserve your room(s) without paying a deposit. You do have to guarantee the room with a credit card, but, for some locations, they don't hold any funds or charge a deposit to the card. So you could book a room today and if you realize later that you can't pull this trip off, just cancel, within the proper time and guidelines set forth by the hotel's cancellation policy.  You have nothing to lose.

Now all you have to do is decide on one of the three options.
