Statistically speaking, chances are your Las Vegas clients are as or more knowledgeable than you are about the city and its offerings. But you can stay up with your cyber-savvy clients by becoming familiar with the various Web sites offering up-to-the-minute information on Las Vegas hotels, entertainment, dining and attractions. AIRFARE CHEAP LAS VEGAS Kevin Bagger, director of Internet marketing and research for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), says the most important things to look for when using the Web to provide Las Vegas information to clients are timeliness and accuracy. "The biggest concern is to make sure that [you're viewing] the most up-to-date information, because the destination is constantly changing," he says." Make sure you are able to verify that the information is as current as possible." Also important to remember is that while many of these sites offer valuable information and insider tips that will be useful in your Vegas sales, some work off a travel agent model themselves and do not offer a commission to other agents. Peruse the sites for facts to share with clients, then contact your favorite wholesaler or book the trip yourself. Following is a rundown of some of the most informative Vegas sites residing in cyberspace today. Can't find what you need? Try a Google Web Search in the box below!
