What?!? :confused:
I don't know what Zenking's standards are, but Superbowl weekend is most definitely a "holiday weekend" as far as more crowded Las Vegas conditions. Any weekend with an extra day or big event, like Superbowl, March Madness, or a big fight is what I term a holiday weekend. It is much less about what the holiday or event is and more that it brings an extra 50% or more of people from an ordinary weekend.
Mid January to mid March are full of these weekend "opportunities", with 5 or 6 within an 8 week period, starting with Martin Luther King weekend, Superbowl Weekend, Valantines Day (should it fall on or close to a weekend), Presidents Day weekend, First weekend of March Madness (thursday-sunday), and St Patrick's Day. More often than not St Partricks Day coincides with that 4 day March Madness weekend. If you are doing something that crowded conditions benefit you or throw cover to you, this is a peak time of year.
