Where to stay in Las Vegas
Travellers to Las Vegas have a big decision to make – where to stay and how much to spend? Unfortunately, this can put you in as much of a spin as Vegas’ slot machines, with an endless range of hotel options!
If you want to travel to Vegas on a tight budget, you’re best off hitting the off-strip area, or getting down n dirty in Downtown Vegas (it’s not really that dirty!). A favourite with savvy travellers to Sin City is the Wild Wild West hotel, offering basic but clean accommodation for as little as $30 per night, in a sought after off-strip location. For a Downtown bargain, many Vegas travel gurus would direct you to the old style elegance of El Cortez, offering nostalgic vintage rooms at some of the lowest prices you’ll find.
At the other end of the Las Vegas travel scale, are the premium hotels, showering high rolling guests in stunning casino accommodation. If budget is no option, book in at Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay or The Wynn. These are the perfect locations if you want to feel the sensation of being a true Vegas high roller and the luxury reserved for Las Vegas’ premier travellers.
