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 resort 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 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, 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 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 Las
Vegas hotel 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.
