Any 1 every stay at Motel 6 in Las Vegas on E Tropicana?

Question

Please tell me about your stay.

Answer 1

It's a Motel 6, just about like every other Motel 6. It's older, so it's not in the best condition, but if you're looking for a cheap place to stay, it's OK. They allow pets in the room, which is why we stayed there about 6 years ago. It wasn't easy to get to the strip, since we didn't want to have to drive the few blocks from the Motel 6, so we had to walk. There was a lot of constuction at the time, and it made the walk longer since we had to go around obstructions. It was over 100 degrees, so that made the walk horrid!

If I were going to Vegas again, without a dog, I'd definitely try to get a room on the strip. After all, people go to Vegas for the atmosphere, and the hotel you stay at is part of the atmosphere. We've stayed at the Stratosphere and at Paris in other trips out there, and those were definitely better trips. BTW, it's quite a walk from the Stratosphere too. If you stay at the hotels on the strip, it's easy to get around since you can use the monorail system that goes between several of the hotels.

Answer 2

Why stay in a dump when for a few dollaars more you can get a good room in a good hotel on the strip. I go to Vegas all the time but I would never stay there.


First, 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 the hotel’s 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 Caesars Palace, 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 and Monte Carlo hotels 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. Caesars, Wynn, The Venetian, and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. The Flamingo, Ballys Monte Carlo, 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 plan to go to Vegas on 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, and Monte Carlo hotels have a wave pool and a lazy river for tubing or body floating. The MGM hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall. The pools at Caesars and Bellagio are good because they have multiple pools and plenty of places to sit. Caesars even has a topless pool areas called the VENUS POOL.

I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Caesars, 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 to stay on the Strip. You can probably get lower priced rooms at the Circus Circus, Sahara and Rivera on the north end of the Strip, the Tropicana on the south end, and also at the hotels on Fremont Street. The Tropicana is one of the older hotels that has not been renovated like many others. The other locations will place you a long way from the center of the strip action and you’ll have to take a bus or taxi to Strip action. In addition, if you need to run to the room for a little R&R, it’s a long ways.

Use the web sites below and find yourself a good room right on the strip.

We stayed there for a couple days last year and nearly a week just last month. It works out perfect for us. Travel with no kids and not wanting to spend big $ on hotel rooms. It is a descent, clean and basic hotel for the price, but you get what you pay for.

PROS
Cost ($45 per night)
Relatively safe (security driving around parking lot)
24 hr Mini-Mart on site (they have a Lil bit of everything)
Nice Sized Outdoor Pool
Coin-Op Laundry Fac.
Decent Location (A few blocks from the strip)
Easy check-In (went a lot better than Circus-circus)

CONS
Next to Airport (Have a lot of helicopters flying over)
Very basic room
No lid to the toilet, just a toilet seat.
No tub, just a stand in shower (Not really a con, just odd)
Pillows were a little to flat for me
A few blocks from the strip that seem like miles when walking (so to solve this we drove to the Tropicana Outdoor Parking lot, easy to get to, and walked to the strip from there)
No in room safe

If you are looking for a basic no-frills hotel, that is good enough to sleep and shower in and is near the strip, this is the place to stay. However, if you are looking for something better like the other person stated, spend a couple more dollars and stay on the strip.
