The prices dropped back down to regular prices later in the summer when sales were what they projected. I thought it was a good idea to book before rooms were sold out.
I booked in the summer for a wedding, not the race, and the prices jumped from $100-200 per night up to $765 per night with no refunds and full payment up front. I got severely overcharged for a patio room during the F1. Very disappointed with my experience at the The Linq.
