what is best cheap hotel in vegas, on the strip?

Answer 1

There are some off brand 'dives" on the strip but I don't think you want to stay there. But when you look for a hotel in Vegas consider this. All of the big hotels on the Strip are great. The most important things to consider are location, price, and in the summer you want to consider its pool area. So, stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd & the Strip. At that corner is Ceasers, Bellagio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and the Paris hotels. I am not saying you need to stay in one of these but stay close to them. I do recommend the Flamingo if you are looking for a good price, location and pool.

The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). So pick a place that has the best price for you. Ceasers and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. Flamingo, Ballys and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more, so to get a lower rate go Sunday and stay through Thursday night.

In the summer you probably want to spend some time at the pool areas which in Vegas are fabulous. All of the big hotels have great pool areas. But the Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo and MGM hotels have wave pools, and lazy rivers for tubing or body floating. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall.

I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Ceasers, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. Again, all of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web sites, look at the hotel rate calendars, and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place for me.

Use the web sites below.

I go to Vegas pretty often. If you're looking for someplace cheap, but still of reasonably good quality, Tropicana and Excalibur top that list. You can also often get really good deals at the Luxor, which is my favorite of the middle-grade hotels. If you are ok paying a tiny bit more, I suggest upgrading to New York New York (which I just stayed at for the first time). I know you can also get very good deals at the older end of the Strip at Stardust and Sahara, though if you like the newer, younger crown casinos, you'll have a little walk ahead of you. Many of the casinos I mentioned above have deals on their websites where you can get packages with upgrades, two for one meals, drink vouchers, etc.

Have a good time on your trip!

Answer 3

The stratosphere is good too. especially since it is newer than Trop or Sahara. Location is important too. If you want to be by the Luxor - MGM - Mandalay Bay to name a few do the Excaliber or Sahara. etc. If you are already planning on renting a car or taxing around, stay just off strip, like the Artisan ($39 a night, not bad rooms, great bar and pool area, a little funky air-freshener smell in the lobby, but not so much in the rooms.) Also, Fri. and Sat. are signifigantly higher.

Or you can Prostitute your time by looking into time shares and for "a few short hours of your time with no hard sales..." you can spend money on the room and locations and let them buy your shows and food! ;-)

Tropicana
Circus Circus

Motel 6 - this one is on Tropicana Avenue, but it's right across the street from the MGM and next to the Tropicana Hotel and within walking distance to the Strip.

Answer 6

I believe the Sahara is the cheapest on the strip, even cheaper than Excalibur or Circus, Circus.

My friend said you can go online and get a room anytime for under $80 a night.

You can probably go to hotels.com or one of those online places and get a cheap room too.

Answer 7

I found the best vegas deals at vegas.com. I got 6 days at the Luxor for $331 including Airfare from denver. They also give you the prices for the day before and the day after in case they're cheeper.

Answer 8

i'd propose staying on the Golden Nugget motel. that is not any longer on the strip even if the pool section is really tremendous and there is a lot to do on the motel. that is likewise less expensive and the strip is frequently busy.

Answer 9

Tropicana is one of the cheaper on the strip and the location is great.
