What is a good, inexpensive and fun hotel to stay in Vegas?|169752

I_m planning to go there in a couple of weeks for Friday to Monday stay.

Affordable, most everything Downtown and off strip is. Safe places Downtown include Fitzgerals, LV Club, The Plaza, 4 Queens, and Golden Nugget (GN is a bit more expensive). Downtown offers cheap food, cheap drinks, cheap gambling, and free entertainment right on Fremont St at night.

If you want to stay on the strip, Circus Circus, Riveria, Imperial Palace, Tropicana are all most affordable. IP is in the center of the strip and near a lot of fun entertainment (there will often be free concerts right outside at night) and near to all of the resorts. The Tropicana is as close to the old Vegas as you will get. Lounge acts, showgirls, no kids, it is old school.

Most places off strip are good deals too. Palms, Rio, and Hard Rock are often a bit more pricey, but you can sometimes find good deals.

An easy way to find a good deal is to sign up for their e-newsletter. They will send you specials every few weeks.

Circus Circus is a good one.

Stay away from :
Circus Circus
Imperial Palace

The Luxor would be great for your stay. Also, check out NY NY.

By the way, there is no more Barbary Coast. It_s Bill_s Gambling Hall now. It_s ok, but you can do much better for that Vegas experience at Luxor.

I agree with lynn I also stayed at the stratosphere and had a great time.

I stayed at the Stratsphere. Great place!

I like the Imperial Palace. It has a great location - center strip, and it is cheaper than most of the surrounding hotels. Sure the Sahara, Circus Circus, and the Stratosphere are cheaper, but the walking distance to places like the Bellagio, Paris, Venetian, Cesears Palace and MGM make it a great bargain.

A few places you may consider are: The Rio (great clubs; off the strip); Hard Rock Hotel; Hooters (formerly San Remo); Harrah_s; Riveria. Whatever you do, stay away from Circus Circus. That place is a super, grade A dive!!!

Well, they are all competing for your business... so they can_t keep the prices extremely high. So as long as you stay in a regular room, they are all relatively affordable. When I went I stayed at the Venetian. All of the rooms are suites, and they have a gondala stream inside, shops, restaurants, theatre, a casino(of course), it_s relatively affordable and it_s right on the strip, so you have access to almost everything. Hope it helps and have a great trip.

Stay away from Circus Circus unless you love screaming kids all day and night long...the place is a mad house. And not in a good way!!

Stay away from Stratusphere...its cool to visit, (Especially at night) but is really far from the rest of the strip, and not really in a great neighborhood. I would not want to stay there.

Ive been to Vegas 4 times in last years...so I know.

you could try The South Point on the South Strip. the prices are great. it also has a movie theater, bowling alley, pool,and good resturants too. look it up on line.

The further off the strip you go the cheaper it will be. Try the Orleans, the Palms, Hard Rock, or any of the station casinos.......Green Valley Ranch is probably my favorite _off the strip_ casino. The casinos in Old downtown (over by Fremont street) are usually cheaper also. If you want to stay on the strip try New York, New York.....they usually have good rates. Just do a lot of seaching, be patient, and you_ll find the right place.

The Barbary Coast is fairly inexpensive, but no pool or other amenities. But clean, safe and centrally located. The Flamingo can be cheap depending on when you go. I_ve gotten rooms as low as $59 per night, but it_s off season and mid week.

The Orleans - just off strip with free shuttle. GREAT rates and everything you_d want in a casino hotel AND MORE!
