Thanks!

I'll get to work on writing a flight & hotel guide to Vegas, but the short version would be: compare the packages through WestJetVacations & AirCanadaVacations against a Flight & Hotel Combiner site (Expedia, Travelocity, etc) and you will have your bases covered as far as packages go.
Building your own package is a slightly different story, but prices are likely to be similar to the Flight & Hotel Combiners, unless you can find a better deal than usual on your own to a Vegas hotel than the Flight & Hotel Combiners are using when combining airfares from the major airlines with the latest hotel rates. There's a better chance of that happening in Vegas than other destinations, perhaps by signing up for hotel e-mail lists, or scouring the threads on some deal forums.
Incidentally, GoJumpOn, a site offering the Group-deal concept on airfares, made it's debut in Calgary, and their first flight is to Vegas from Apr 19-21....

$421 roundtrip after taxes for the airfare. It was about $165 cheaper than the non-stop (direct) flights on the major airlines at the time I wrote the article. But that's for a flight that may or may not happen! Probably not the best idea for an anniversary gift.
