By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on December 2008 If there are any positives to be found in the current economic slump, it’s that Las Vegas has become more affordable, and the World Market Center issued an announcement Tuesday urging attendees to book early for the Feb. 9–13 event to lock in the best rates.

Room rates range from $65 per night (Sahara Hotel) to $299 (Encore at Wynn) at 24 Las Vegas Market hotels that are served by the event’s M-Line Shuttle Service. Other properties with rates below $100 include Excalibur at $75 and Monte Carlo at $99. The rates don’t include taxes and fees. At the event’s Web site, www.lasvegasmarket.com, Market-goers can book rooms with no minimum stay requirements. All of the hotels require a one-night deposit.

“The difficult business conditions our industry faces are being shared by those in the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors, which has led to extremely competitive pricing throughout this destination city,” said World Market Center President and CEO Bob Maricich. “February 2009 Las Vegas Market presents a unique opportunity to maximize productivity while minimizing business expenses.”

World Market Center partners also offering special rates include American Airlines, Air Canada, West Jet Airlines, Budget Rental Cars and Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Those pre-registering before Jan. 16 will receive badges in the mail and won’t need to wait in registration lines at the event.
