Its Official: Transworld Halloween and Haunt Show is Moving

[Haunted Illinois]

I'm too tired and too lazy to look this up... what's the airfare going for from Chicago to Vegas for all of us losers stuck here in da home of da Bears? Something tells me it ain't cheap.

I remember seeing ads every once and awhile like $64/each way to Vegas? What happened to those days? JetBlue is supposed to be cheap - I looked them up last week for Chicago to Vegas and it was like $350 r/t? WTF?!?!

Nicole, looking online I've found tickets from O'Hare to Vegas in the range of $250-$450, depending on departure dates and which airline you choose. It seems you can find affordable hotels, but you'd have to stay a pretty good distance from "the strip". I did a little checking and if you want anything closer, it'll cost you more than Chicago hotels.

Sad really.

Oh the weather'll be nicer, but the feel will definately be different.

And, I've gotta say it--why does everything have to move toward the coasts? Shipped from NY, shipped from Cally. Wanna good lingerie show? California or Vegas--that works. But Halloween?

Bet there's more haunts east of the Rockies than west of them.

And I like Vegas.

Know what'd be good? If it moved around. Like Worldcon.

Adam,

The show is on weekdays I found out for a reason...hotesl are cheaper. When search for Vegas hotels look for those dates, the dates of the show and see what you find. Lets keep apples to apples. Furthermore I just stayed in Vegas and booked at the last minute, stayed at Harrahs.

I paid around 190.00 per night and I was on the strip. Had I booked a lot early I could have stayed for half that amount.

Adam,

I don't know what site you looked on but I went to HOTELS.com and found deals listed below. You can stay all over the strip for as little as $40.00.

[Matt Marich]

Larry, Just a few notes on your Hotel List. We always stay at the Orleans its very cool, has a movie theater, Bowling Alley and many Restuarants. We also like the Rio, best buffet in town and really cool FREE evening Mardi Gras show in the cielling! We have had very bad expierences with the Circus Circus, they bait and switch rooms often. But our grand favorite is still the NY,NY. Great selection of food, neat atmosphere, NY style Pizza and Del Monico's!

Don't forget all the free shows, Treasure Island, Excalibur, Bellagio Fountains, Walking the shops at the Paris or Ceasar's, The mountain at the Mirage is cool too! The best show for the money? Lance Burton, its a steal!

Matt

[Nicole]

Wow Larry - thanks for posting those - I know alot of haunters appreciate that. If we go we're going to try to get on of our timeshares in the area... I just hope we can find low airfare... JetBlue just isn't as cheap as I thought it was.

[drfrightner]

Nicole,

Southwest Airlines goes in and out of Vegas every five seconds. I always try and fly SWA first and foremost!

Larry

[Spookyfinder]

^ Holy crap, I didn't know that... every 5 seconds! Wow! I guess I'll be flying SWA! -Tyler

[MMManiac]

SWA is a nice airline and cheap, but.... they dont fly north of chicago so us Wisconsin folk would have to drive to chicago to get those deals. Although I thought I saw some cheap deals to fly out of GB to Vegas... I'll have to check on that.

[xxxdirk]

Sean and anyone in the Greenbay area,

Just for kicks I priced ticketys from Austin Strauble in Greenbay. Looking at THIS years fees, same weekend, American Airlines, leaving Fri coming back Wed $298..... Not too bad, but we will have to see what happens to prices when it gets closer...

Ron

[Nicole]

Larry, Thanks for the SWA tip - driving to Chicago for those of us in S.E. WI isn't bad at all - Chicago is only 45min. from Milwaukee. We hope to decide by the end of March if we're going - if we can get into one of our timeshares and then get a good airline deal it won't be so bad!

[drfrightner]

I looked up just radom dates with more than 30 days notice... you can book flights as cheap as $109.00 each way from Chicago to Vegas.

I'd say thats pretty cheap!

Larry

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Larry, just want to say thanks for the updates.
It appears that you got the information before a couple of the biggest vendors I buy from.

[Barry]

Not that it is relavent now because prices/packages will change inm a year but it will cost us about $300-500 more to go to Vegas. Airfare is $100 per person more expensive and for the dates of the show hotels will be $50-75 more per night with what I am seeing.

[Jim Warfield]

If I owned two haunted houses say, 30 miles apart and were operating for say, 20 years, and Haunt "Raven" did very well every year, yet haunt "Grin" did poorly no matter what I tried to do to improve it...why would I close down haunt "Raven", the best one, and keep the poor one "Grin" open?
I was always told that the Transworld-Vegas show was a small, miserable cripple compared to Transworld -Rosemont.
This has once again merely been the veiwpoint from behind the cornfields any resemblance to any corn weevils living or dead is purely coincidental.
