That's not that bad. I was in LV during some random weekend last Oct, and Luxor was over $800/night, IIRC. It was just that one Sat night. I was going to stay at Bellagio, but even after whatever discount the poker host was gonna get me it was going to be ~$1300/night there. It was the weirdest thing. Everything was ridic expensive for just that night. The Friday and Sunday were perfectly reasonable, but the Saturday was nuts.
The high price at Bellagio prompted me to search for other options. Everything was crazy, even shitty motels going for $400/night. There were a couple of 1 bedroom Airbnbs for $600/night, but when I made contact, I was told they were no longer available. All major strip hotels were around $800+/night.
While I was there that week, I asked every local, "So what's going on Saturday that is making everything so insane". I never got the same answer twice. No one knew what it was.
I ended up finding a newly listed Airbnb about 20 min north of the strip for $100 and snap called. I suspect host was unaware of the massive inflation for that one day. Only ended up crashing there for a 6 hour power nap before I went back to the poker, so it was completely fine.
I still have no idea what the **** happened.
