There are a few ways to get great deals on hotels in Las Vegas. This article was written to provide as many known tips as I could to my consumers to get them to Vegas for cheap.

When I got into the travel industry I had people calling me to book all kinds of neat places. I, of course, wanted to go to most of them. With all the places that I visited on people’s recommendations, Las Vegas was the best. I am also not a person who gambles. I have had so much fun in Las Vegas with the great weather and all the sites you can see. My hotel also was an excellent deal, center strip, strip view.

I would start by going right to the website of the hotel directly. Most hotels have a guest book or a mailing list that you can sign up for. Once you are on their list they will send you deals on rooms. The only problem with using this method to get a cheap hotel stay is that they will constantly send you email.

The best time to plan your trip is during the week. The large name hotels usually give huge discount rates during the week. They then mark the price up on the weekends when demand is higher. My suggestion is to go on a Tuesday and return on a Thursday or Friday. This is when demand is low and you will get the cheapest hotel rate. I also always suggest Allegiant Air, if you are near one of their departing airports you can usually fly to Vegas for next to nothing.

There are also several websites that advertise cheap hotels or discount hotels. These are the exact same rooms you can get from a hotel directly. What these sites do is buy in bulk. They call the hotel and strike a deal to book a certain amount of rooms every day for a discounted rate. They then mark up the rate but still keep it lower than the rate from the hotel directly. They then sell the room to you at a discount. They earn their money on difference in the price they sell the room to you and what they get it from the hotel for. These sites involve the least amount of work when it comes to finding great rates.

What about where to stay? Well, if I have to make a recommendation here let me tell you where not to stay. I would not recommend the Stratosphere. Even though it is very cheap most of the time, there is a reason for that. It is a nice hotel, however it is at the very north end of the Las Vegas Strip. The Stratosphere is quite a ways out from everything. I like to stay center strip. The Paris Las Vegas is a great place. For cheap hotels I would say the Flamingo, though it is an older property you can usually get a good rate. If you are looking for the cheapest hotel at center strip its Bill’s Gamblin Hall & Saloon. Please note that I wouldn’t really suggest this hotel because I have heard it is not kept up, however I have never stayed there and I am not sure I believe that because it is owned by Harrah’s.

Going to Las Vegas is exciting, and not near as expensive as one may think. The key is to book a hotel and then continue to shop. Using a hotel discount website is your best bet. Usually up until check in, if you find a lower rate, they will match it. If you don’t book something and just shop around, chances are rates will go up. As occupancy increases for the dates you are going, so do prices. That is supply and demand. My suggestion book your discount hotel as soon as you decide to go, then watch for price decreases and call your booking agent to match it!
