Hotels in Las Vegas

Accommodation in Las Vegas is often cheap because almost all hotels have casinos at ground level and many people are losing money at the hotel they are staying at. In addition, Las Vegas was hit really hard by the financial crisis, further driving prices down.

Hotels on the Las Vegas Strip

The most common accommodation in Las Vegas is of course hotels. To the left you will find hotels that we think are most worth looking at. If you stay less than a week, we recommend a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Las vegas has hotels in many different price ranges. Because the guests gamble on the hotel’s casino, you can find very good prices. Popular weekends can be very expensive.

Resort fees are hidden fees

In recent years, most big hotels have started to charge a resort fee. The price varies between $7 and $20 per room per night, see the quick facts on each hotel. This mandatory fee usually includes internet access, local calls, entrance to the health center and more. The hotels that don’t charge a resort fee are getting fewer and fewer. Even then, they always charge for internet access.

Rent a holiday house

If you travel in a group and you have planned on staying a while in Las Vegas you should definitely consider renting a house. The biggest advantage is that you get much more surface area to socialize in private. When you rent a house, we recommend rent a car instead of taking a taxi to the Strip.

Apartment Hotel

For longer stays on the strip, you can consider an apartment hotel like MGM Signature, it obviously works for short stays as well.
