LAS VEGAS HOTELS
Room rates in Las Vegas are normally low during the week but increase about 50% over the weekends. The best recommendation to score low priced rooms in 4–5 star theme hotels, is to check third parties like Travelzoo.com, Dealbase.com, Hotwire.com, Lastminutetravel.com, Travelocity.com, and Quickbook.com etc for offers. Usually the sites provide value deals far below the rack rates posted over the hotels’ web sites.
Moreover, less luxurious or popular hotels off the Strip’s center woo guests with bargains that start around $30 per night in the shoulder season and are going up to max $150 in the high season.
Staying along either side of the Strip you should be prepared for long walking distances between the hotels. The cheapest Strip hotels like Stratosphere and Circus Circus are a couple of miles off the Strip’s center. Hotels like Mandalay, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York or MGM aren’t much closer.
This is why I usually recommend staying at the Strip’s center (around the Bellagio) to shorten the ways into each direction and to be in the middle of everything.
