Whenever I travel (which is quite often). I check these two sites. www.kayak.com, because it's a search engine that checks all the other search engines (like priceline, orbitz, nwa.com, continental.com, delta.com) all at the same time. And southwest.com because Kayak for some reason or other does not check southwest. Anyway by comparing the two you should be able to find your best option. In my experience travelling from West coast Alaska/Horizon and South west will give you the best deals to Vegas...from the East Coast I tend to think Delta offers the best deals.
Of course bare in mind that with air travel..sometimes the extra $10-20 is worth it if you fly with your normal airline partner for miles (given 25,000 miles gives you a free standard ticket, 5,000 miles is approx 1/5 of a $300-400 ticket, so worth $60).
Lastly when booking your hotel. It's always best to book directly through the hotel. For these reasons:
1) you are not locked
2) usually the hotel itself has the best rate
3) if the rate ever drops you can always call in and get it re-rated
and lastly
4) sometimes the hotels offer something called the best rate guarantee...meaning if you find a better rate at a competitor website (like orbitz)..they'll match and drop that rate another 10-25%. I lucked out with Flamingo last time I went to vegas...saved $100 per room for the weekend...works for me.
Have Fun!

Check SWairlinesvacations.com..also check their flight specials, and check out i4vegas.com for your room. also check united airlines.
Americawest is hubbed in Vegas and they work directly with the hotels to offer the cheapest air/hotel packages. I guarentee you will not find a cheaper air/hotel package than,
I go every year and have tried to find something cheaper, but I have yet to find anything cheaper. last year I paid about $380.00 for round trip air and 5 nights at the Monte carlo. In June. Due to fuel costs prices will a bit more right now, but they still have the best prices. If you find something cheaper please post it, because I would like to know. Although Americawest will come up on orbita, and priceline. prices will be cheaper through the direct web site.
You can google these sites:
Kayak
Cheapoair
Cheap flights
Cheap tickets
Sidestep
Bookingbuddy
Also check Airgorilla and Priceline.
Note that the travel sites do NOT always have the best deals and you need to check the nairline websites. Also, some airlines (like Southwest and JetBlue) do not sell tickets via the travel sites and you have to check their website.
Try hotwire.com or priceline.com
u can try arestravel.com
used it for my trip.. saved alot of $$$$
