We have gotten a few comments asking why we show so few options on the main screen of the Vegas Deal Advisor site . I want to take a moment to mention the motivation is for us to make your choice easier by subscribing to a “Less is More” concept. We believe that the choices in travel have gotten too complex and people welcome a service that can focus them on a few great choices. Psychologist Barry Schwartz provides this really insightful perspective about how our world has gotten too complex and the number of choices available can paralyze us.  See this version of one of his talks online . We believe Barry and want to simplify things for you when you choose a hotel in Las Vegas. Vegas Deal Advisor aims to be your trusted waiter giving you the scoop on what are the best items available on today’s Las Vegas Hotel menu. We’d like to hear from you. Do you think we should show more options by default or even reduce it further. Please let us know what you think!
