 To help you ease into your Vegas trip, we've compiled information on
some of the worlds most famous destinations: outstanding Las Vegas casino
hotels! Finding luxury accommodations in Las Vegas is as easy as learning
your ABC's. Alladin, Bally's, Caesars Palace…no doubt these names
will sound familiar. Located right in the heart of the Strip, they are
but a few of the many Las Vegas casino hotels that offer on-site dining,
shopping, gaming and theatrical entertainment. The options are vast and
choosing the right hotel to suit your particular taste and budget requires
careful consideration.
One of the best ways to refine your search is to determine your needs
at the outset. Will you be traveling alone, with family members, for business,
or is your trip intended to be a romantic getaway? Each of these factors
will play a pivotal role in selecting appropriate accommodations. Las
Vegas casino hotels are often designed to service specific vacationing
needs. For example, if your goal is to gamble, you'll want to stay on,
or at least close to, the Strip. Many of the most celebrated resorts,
such as the ones mentioned above, provide the easiest access by having
a casino existing within the premises themselves.
Perhaps one of the best known, Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino houses
an 86,664 square-foot casino. Here you'll find 13 varieties of table games,
1,500 slot machines, 300 video poker machines, as well as 24-hour live
keno and a full-featured race and sports book. Since the casinos account
for the bulk of the hotel's annual revenue, they are created with the
goal of luring players to the tables, and keeping them there. Consequently,
many of the guest rooms are sparse. Often used primarily for a brief respite
from the action, they tend to be lacking in comfort and ambience when
compared with other so-called luxury hotels.
Room rates vary considerably. Special offers are abundant however, making
a $60 a night stay relatively easy to find. For those unwilling to sacrifice
comfort and style, there are plenty of accommodations available, though
often come at a hefty price. At the acclaimed MGM Grand Casino hotel,
guests may choose between Terrace, Hollywood, Glamour, Premiere, Marquis
and Celebrity spa suites, to name but a few. What will you be paying for
this kind of upscale experience? Prepare to shell out at least $300 a
night.
If you want to reserve your spending for other endeavors, consider opting
out of the Las Vegas casino hotel trap altogether and park your bags at
a most cost-efficient motel or campground. While you'll have to forego
the full spa treatments, five-star dining, and top notch entertainment
and convention facilities that the high-end hotels provide, rooms come
in at a much more affordable $40 a night. Alternatively, you can bring
your own bed and park it in one of Las Vegas' many campgrounds. This can
be an especially attractive option if you're bringing the kids.
Now that know the basics, you're ready to begin your search, whether
it be for a Las Vegas hotel, motel or campground. We've compiled a handy
list to help you guide you along the way. And remember, Sin City has a
reputation for providing patrons with great deals, so if you don't see
one advertised, be sure to ask when making a reservation at your chosen
destination.
