just to add a little to this comment - last time we went to vegas we booked through expedia or some similar site and we had a flight out at about 8 pm, so we decided to try and keep the room for the day. The hotel charged us $60 for the room but guy at front desk told us it was becasue we booked thru the third party. Had we booked directly, he said they would ahve been able to be flexible.
I thought next time i booked, i use expedia, and then just call the htel and see what they say as I am assuming that expedia must take some % of whatever rate you pay, so the hotel gets even less than the room rate.
all of this being said, the last time (labour day long weekend) i looked at getting a room in canmore/banff/lake lousie - it was stupid expensive on a per night basis
