I_ve been to Vegas only once just recently and stayed in the Golden Nugget. I loved it there. I need to return for business in January, but the Nugget is out of my budget. I_m looking for something comparable in quality but at a better price. The Fitzgerald was the least expensive I have found online, but after reading reviews, it seems as if the hotel reeks of smoke. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
GN is a 4 Star and you won_t find another 4 star in LV for the rate you get the GN. I have seen the rooms at Fitz. DON_T even go there. The 4 Queens has remodeled. Ask for the South tower, The rooms are a bit larger. The Fremont is clean but the rooms are the size of large walk-in closets. Stay away from the Plaza. If you go to the strip the Flamingo sometimes offer good rates. I can_t speak for the Excalibur but I know of friends that said the rooms were _nice_ but lots of rug rats(kids) running around. That is the issue of Circus Circus. I would not stay at Circus Circus, Sahara, Stratosphere, Imperial Palace or Tropicana. If you can get the newly remodeled room at Riviera it would be o.k. If you can get the North Tower at Bally_s that is nice. A small but nice place on the strip is Bill_s. On the corner of LV Blvd and Flamingo. Its between Flamingo and Bally_s.
The other issue is there are a couple large conventions in town during January. If your going then, nothing will be very cheap. If you played at any casinos when there on previous trips and you used a casino players card try calling them for a player_s rate. It may not be comped but you may get a discount.
Book now directly with the casino at a couple places that don_t have a non-refundable rate but a good price. Keep checking on line at each for better rates. If the price drops all you do is call them and ask them to reprice your room for the lower rate they are offering. When it gets a few days or week out, cancel all of the rooms you have reserved but the one you decide to stay at.
If you don_t mind being off strip try the Orleans, Sam_s Town or the remodeled rooms at the Gold Coast.
None of the above mentioned are 4 star but they are in the low to mid 3 star range.
Have Fun
The Golden Nugget is the best hotel downtown by miles and whilst the oters are cheaper they are not comparable which is why the Nugget is more expensive. If you need to stay downtown I would consider Main Stret Station and then Binions but neither are anything like the nugget. You can however get a great deal on the Strip for that period with rooms at Excalibur from $29 and suites at MGM from $75 but you need to book quickly as some of these offers end this week !

The Golden Nugget in my opinion is the best hotel downtown. Look into Four Queens and Main Street if you must stay downtown.
If you don_t have to stay downtown, you can get comparable rates at Luxor, Circus Circus, Monte Carlo or Imperial Palace using discount promo codes. Here are a few codes.

Why dont you try either Circus Circus or the Riviera on the strip, I have stayed at both these places and never had a problem, although not as nice as the Golden Nugget thet are both definitely cheaper.
