Super Fitness Health BlogBudget Conscious Las Vegas Has Some Great Cheap Lodging
Las Vegas has got to be one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States. A city that never sleeps, there is always plenty to do: from gambling and gaming to shows and fancy restaurants to shopping at exclusive boutiques. When there are so many ways to spend your money while you are away from home, often the place where you will want cut back is in your hotel room – chances are you will not be spending much time there anyways! Here are some ways to find great lodging at an affordable price while staying in Las Vegas.
A basic place to start is an Internet search for rooms. You can sometimes find great deals when you combine your hotel with your plane ticket and or a car rental. Keep in mind that while most people prefer to stay on the Strip, there are much cheaper rooms that can be found at hotels a few minutes away. Also, Internet services may not be able to help out much if there is a large convention in town that weekend, so you will either need to book well in advance or watch out for last minute closeout deals.
Even without the Internet, there are some great deals to be had at specific hotels in Las Vegas. Do keep in mind that prices may fluctuate from hotels, and weekdays are usually more affordable than weekend or convention days. Here are a few places to check out for good deals.
One hotel is the Sahara Hotel and Casino. One of the old school Las Vegas hotels, it is more affordable than its big sister hotels that have opened at the southern end of the Strip. The monorail stops here, so you are directly connected to Las Vegas.
For a hotel in the middle of the action, the Excalibur Hotel and Casino is a good choice. It is close to MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, and NY/NY, but is usually priced somewhat lower. The rooms tend to be on the smaller side however this should not be much of an issue if you are only planning to use them for resting up between shows and gaming.
If you do not mind staying at an older hotel and casino that is starting to show its age a little, consider the New Frontier Hotel and Casino. The rooms are cheaper and there are good food specials that can make your stay a wonderful one. The slots also tend to hit more than at some other hotels, which may help improve your budget vacation significantly.
If you have children of your own, or can at least tolerate other people’s kids, the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino has reasonably priced rooms. It is more family oriented than some of the other hotels, so you will see a lot of children running around. It is located on the north end of the Strip, so you will need to factor in a little extra to cover the cab expenses to see the other hotels, or plan on doing plenty of walking while you stay there.
If the walking does not bother you, the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino is a decent bargain. It is a lot more updated than its cheap predecessor, Bob Stupak’s Vegas World, but can still be had at a good price. It is a bit of a walk to the center of the strip, however.
If you prefer to be in the middle of it all, consider the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino. It is located across the street from the Bellagio, Ballys, and Caesars Palace, but its rooms tend to be about 40% of the cost of its neighbors.
