Overview

What is hotel revenue management consulting in Las Vegas?

Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.

This is my view of Las Vegas. Las Vegas is priced by the convention calendar more than by the season. CES, SEMA, NAB and the Grand Prix move every home in the valley, and those dates are known a year ahead. Before any pricing, though, I check where the home is, because Clark County, the City of Las Vegas and Henderson each regulate short stays differently, and a great rate on a listing that should not exist is not a strategy.

For Las Vegas owners I start with which jurisdiction licenses the home, then score every date of the year by what is happening at the Convention Center, T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium. The plan that comes out treats a quiet July Saturday and a SEMA Tuesday as very different nights, which is how this city actually books.

The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Las Vegas.

How I price it

My Las Vegas calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to MarchHigh

    CES opens the year, then the college basketball conference tournaments and March Madness weekends bring sports fans. I price each convention and tournament date separately and avoid flat monthly rates.

  2. April to JunePeak

    NAB, spring pool weather and Electric Daisy Carnival in May keep demand strong. I lift pool homes in Henderson and Summerlin and use longer minimums on festival weekends.

  3. July to AugustLow

    Heat reduces leisure travel, so I lower floors, allow midweek single nights and offer weekly discounts. Fight nights and concerts still get their own premiums.

  4. September to NovemberPeak

    Raiders home games, SEMA and the Grand Prix make autumn powerful. I load all dates early and price Grand Prix week at the top of the calendar.

  5. DecemberHigh

    The National Finals Rodeo and New Year's Eve shape the month. I price rodeo dates for western guests and keep New Year's Eve with long minimums and firm rates.

Where I price differently in Las Vegas

Henderson
Family homes and quieter neighbourhoods near Lake Las Vegas and Green Valley. I price them for families and longer stays, with strong spring pool demand.
Summerlin
Close to Red Rock Canyon and golf, with larger homes and calmer streets. I price it for groups who want space without being near the Strip.
Near the Strip and Paradise
Fast access to conventions, casinos and events. I price these homes around trade shows, fight nights and Grand Prix week, with clear rules for groups.

What I check first in Las Vegas

  • Whether the home's licence and location fit Clark County, City of Las Vegas or Henderson rules, including distance and occupancy requirements, before any pricing work begins.
  • How long it takes to reach the Strip, the Las Vegas Convention Center and Allegiant Stadium by car or rideshare, since convention and event guests choose by access time.
  • Whether pool heating, outdoor rules, party restrictions and security deposits are clearly listed, because those details decide which guests the home attracts.
Pricing playbook

5 pricing moves, and 3 mistakes, in Las Vegas

  1. 1

    Load the full convention calendar a year ahead and price each show by its size, not with one generic event premium.

  2. 2

    Use 2 or 3-night minimums on Friday and Saturday to avoid single-night party bookings, and allow 1-night stays midweek.

  3. 3

    Price pool homes in Henderson and Summerlin with a spring and early summer premium before the real heat arrives.

  4. 4

    Treat Grand Prix week and New Year's Eve as the two highest bands of the year, with longer minimum stays.

  5. 5

    Give July, August and early December lower floors and weekly discounts rather than chasing weekend party demand.

Mistakes I fix in Las Vegas

  • Pricing by month instead of by convention, which misses the biggest demand spikes in the city.
  • Single-night weekend stays that bring risk and cleaning costs with little revenue.
  • Running a listing without confirming the licensing and distance rules for its jurisdiction.

When hotel revenue management consulting makes sense in Las Vegas

Performance has flattened

RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.

Opening, renovating or rebranding

A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.

An owner wants a second opinion

You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.

You have a team but want a better plan

Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
