Answer 1

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.

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.

Here a list of the stuyff you wann see that's free:

1. Number one on my list is to watch the fountains displays in front of the Bellagio hotel. It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different (there are more than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral arrangements in the Atrium.

2. The “Sirens of TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at about 4:30 PM. Simply stand on the sidewalk in front of the TI Hotel.

3. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until midnight. Again, just stand on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.

4. Go down to Fremont Street and see the light shows. There are usually 3 or 4 different shows, starting after dark (about 8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.

5. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in the Sky show. It is like Mardi Gras parade, only suspended from the ceiling over the gambling floor. It runs every 60 minutes starting about 3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..

6. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat. This is better then the tiger habitat at the Mirage Hotel because there are usually trainers in with lions to keep them active.

7. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Siegfried and Roy show used. This is kinda passe because the tigers rarely do anything but sit and stare.

8. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through the Forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) then take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through the shops to the second fountain and wait for the show to start.

9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.

10 The Excalibur hotel also has a free show starting at 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for "Star Trek The Experience"; it cost about $25.

Answer 2

You might want to try some downtown hotels like Las Vegas Club or Horseshoe (formerly Binion's). There are, of course, a lot of chain hotels around town that don't have casinos.

One option might be Budget Suites or Extended Stay America. They have nice little two-room suites that you can rent by the day or week, probably for quite a bit less.

There is an Extended Stay America on Valley View near Flamingo, and it is a stone's throw from the nicest hotels on the Strip and the Rio is only a couple of blocks away. I would think it would be great for reading, relaxation and not being far from things. That is what I would recommend.

Answer 3

I always stay at the Hard Rock. I don't like the 3,000 room hotels because they probably don't even know you're there after you check in. The Hard Rock is smaller, but still fun. You can see a good band, eat at good restaurants, gamble and when you're ready to do the strip you hop on a shuttle for free. The prices aren't bad at all if you avoid Friday and Saturdays.

Answer 4

For the first time, you should stay somewhere on the strip. As for inexpensive, try Bally's, Luxor, Flamingo, and New York New York. They all have pretty decent prices during the week. The weekend is always more expensive.

Happy resting!

Answer 5

relax and Relaxtion and Vegas? i imagine you got the incorrect city for that. yet one ingredient about Vegas is that you may do fairly a lot inspite of you pick. maximum hotel hotels are sufficiently enormous that you'll be able to experience like you're on your human being international. i might want to evade the middle strip hotels and per chance inspect some thing off strip like the Orleans, Tuscany, or some thing like the Marriott. those hotels are a lot less probably to be crowded, fantastically in parts like the pool.
