Two times of year are dependably the least expensive times to visit Las Vegas and find great Las Vegas hotel room rates. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the world is preoccupied with holidays and holiday partying often find Las Vegas hotels offering rates at half price and below. Avoid the week when the National Finals Rodeo is in town. The other time of year for great Las Vegas hotel room rates is July and August when the temperature hovers around 115 degrees, temperatures that some visitors find discouraging, leaving room supply high and prices low.
There are a couple of ways to proceed in pursuit of Las Vegas hotel deals. If you already have a list of your favorite Las Vegas hotels, be sure to get signed up to receive their email offers. Many hotels with reputations for being among Las Vegas’ most swank destinations will offer surprising deals depending on the time of year, the days of the week, and generally, what else is happening in Las Vegas at the time. For instance, large conventions will drive up the prices on accommodations in Las Vegas. Check out the convention schedules in advance if your own schedule has some flexibility. A little wiggle room in shopping for hotel rooms in a convention town like Las Vegas can go a long, long way towards saving major bucks.
If you use online booking services, make frequent visits to these sights a regular part of your due diligence. Las Vegas deals on packages, hotels, car rentals and shows come and go, sometimes in hours, so keep an eye on those sites. The individual Las Vegas hotel sites themselves may offer specials or coupons, so visit them often also.
A short list of the lower priced hotels on the Las Vegas strip itself includes the Casino Royale, Circus Circus, the Excalibur, the Sahara, the Stratosphere and the Tropicana. If you want to be right downtown, ready to stroll the mall at the Fremont Street Experience, check out these less expensive places to stay: The California, the El Cortez, Fitzgerald’s, the Four Queens, the Fremont, the Golden Gate, the Gold Spike, the Las Vegas Club, Main Street Station, and the Plaza.
Off the Las Vegas strip, but still convenient to all the action by car or cab are Arizona Charlie’s Boulder, Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, Boulder Station, Ellis Island, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho, the Gold Coast, Palace Station, Terrible’s and the Wild Wild West.
