Actually Vegas, because of massive subsidies from the casinos, is  
very affordable. BUT... Vegas in late summer!?!?!?! Can you say 120° 
F? Okay, how about 49°C? April or May, October or November, okay.  
Vegas in August is hot, crowded, hot, and hot. Did I mention it's  
really hot then? :-)

Now Seattle or Vancouver--that's where you want to go in late summer.
