The room was very spacious for one person, and the view outside was stunning. However, the amenities were quite limited. You had to pay extra for many things, even a kettle to make tea, which cost over $12. Because of this, I would say the hotel is more suitable for a short one-night stay. The check-in and check-out lines were also quite long, with a wait of about 10–20 minutes.From€202

Although the wait to check in was a bit long, Kyle at the front desk was extremely warm and friendly. We needed a late check-out, and he explained the options clearly and helped arrange it for us.
He also offered us a paid upgrade to a high-floor room with a view of the fountains. Just relaxing in the room and enjoying the Las Vegas city view made us feel so happy.From€238

Well it’s Caesars palace! A phenomenal hotel in a great location right in the middle of the strip. The sheer size does mean you have to walk a lot depending on which tower you stay, and to the self car parking garage. The rooms itself were huge. I got the Augustus tower on floor 36 with a beautiful view of the strip road. The prices within the hotel were obscene however. The fact that parking is $20 dollars is genuinely crazy. They’ve practically outpriced any average traveller and has become crazy expensive throughout the city. Aswell as the prices in the rooms for a single bottle of water $8!!! The casinos were great and had a great atmosphere there (although I left with a net loss of $1200 😧) All in all, it was a great trip, and I can finally say, I stayed at Caesars Palace!!!!From€84

TI has one of the best locations for accessing the sphere, where u can walk across through Venetian and then to the sphere without moving your car and dealing with crowds and lines. The Room itself was great for two. We thought it was large even. And loved that there was free parking and easy access to the garage since the property is not that big. There is a cvs attached to get drinks and last minute items. And a couple Starbucks, a ice cream shop, and pizza shop that we tried.
The amenities could use work though. They still charge a $50 resort fee even though the pool and hot tub was closed fr the season. From our window we could see the hot tub a green color. So it was definitely closed. There was not tangible benefit from the resort fee for us. Not even a bottle of water. Yet they wrefuse to waive or reduce any fees.,
And the casino has a warm, smoky, strange sweet smell that made it difficult to spend much time in.From€31

The room was incredibly spacious, and the entire lobby was gorgeous. The Chinese restaurant downstairs was also delicious. The bed was so soft that I ended up soaking in the tub for two days straight, and the bathtub itself was quite comfortable. The price wasn't too high either. Their convention center is super convenient and comfortable. Staying here for the Global Consumer Electronics Show was really practical.From€47

The rooms are all suites, very similar to Macau, but overall not as luxurious. I used the 'sandwich trick' during check-in and actually got a room with a view of the Sphere – and I stayed at Encore! You can see the Sphere on the left and the Strip on the right, it was truly amazing. If I had stayed in a Wynn room, I wouldn't have been able to see the Strip if I wanted a Sphere view. So Encore's rooms are truly superior. On New Year's Eve, I watched the countdown on the Sphere while enjoying the Strip's super-long New Year's fireworks.From€262

Las Vegas|7.03km from city center
The room was very clean and spacious, equipped with all the necessary amenities, making for a very comfortable stay. The hotel has its own parking lot with plenty of spaces. Its location is incredibly convenient, being very close to the Las Vegas Strip; a straight walk takes you to the MGM Grand, and the Bellagio is just a few steps further. The hotel offers its own breakfast for a nice price of $10 per person. There are also many dining options and convenience stores nearby. A great bonus is that the hotel offers check-in services in Chinese, which is very convenient for Chinese tourists. The surrounding area feels very safe as well; we often saw patrolling police officers, which was reassuring. I highly recommend staying at this hotel when visiting Las Vegas!From€25

The hotel we stayed in this time is located in the casino. The location is very convenient. There are various restaurants and entertainment facilities around, which is suitable for those who like a lively atmosphere. The room design is modern and clean, and the sound insulation effect is very good, even in the casino, you will not be affected by noise. The beds are so comfortable that you can relax completely. Although breakfast is not provided, there are plenty of restaurant options inside and outside the hotel, making it easy to find a suitable place to eat. The staff were friendly and professional, making the overall stay a pleasant experience. If you like to combine entertainment and accommodation, this is a very good choice!From€69

Arrived late at night, and got upgraded to a room with king sized bed! Room is huge and clean, with everything I needed. Thank you very much! The location is a little more quiet, and since it is at the northmost part of the strip, you can take the DEUCE bus along the whole strip to the ”welcome to vegas” sign, and see all the hotelsin between! This is a nice feat! However, expect to pay for quite an amount of deposit and resort fees when checking in.From€9

We stayed for three nights, paying $2773 per night. The room was incredibly spacious, and the bathroom was huge as well. The shower only had a rain showerhead, and turning it on was quite unusual; you had to pull it out firmly. The hot and cold water came from the same source, and at first, I thought it was broken and there was no water. My husband, somehow inspired, gave it a strong pull, saving me from calling the front desk to change rooms. My only minor disappointment was being assigned a room facing the parking lot with no view, but overall, at this price, there's nothing to complain about.
The location is excellent. You can walk south to New York-New York and north to The Venetian. There's a connected walkway to Paris and Horseshoe. Horseshoe is usually the pick-up point for Grand Canyon day tours, and staying in the Bordeaux Tower, we could leisurely walk to the pick-up point in a maximum of 15 minutes.
There are many great eateries near the hotel. We tried Taco Bell, Dirt Dog, Giordano's, and Panda Express (I personally love Panda Express and ate there twice!).
I originally wanted to visit many casinos, but then I realized that the casino interiors on the Strip are mostly similar, essentially shopping malls, with the grander facades only at the entrance:
☑️ Flamingo Hotel: I'm utterly fascinated by Bugsy Siegel's story. The hotel is filled with flamingos and pink everywhere. Every flamingo image made me a little sad, thinking about Bugsy Siegel being murdered by his own people and how desperate his girlfriend must have been to lose him.
☑️ The Venetian: The main entrance replicates Venice's St. Mark's Square. We had just returned from Italy, and the recreation was quite accurate. There's even a small canal in the shopping area where you can take a gondola ride.
☑️ Caesars Palace: You must see the three-story spiral escalator. Riding down from the top, facing the statues, gives you an immersive feeling of traveling through ancient Rome. My husband said it felt like facing a final boss in a video game.

Downtown - Fremont Street Las Vegas|0.45km from city center
Overall stay was great! Of all the hotels on Fremont Street this is my favorite! We stayed in the Gold Tower and the room was great. Bed was really comfortable, came with a useable fridge and even included some free bottled waters. The only drawback from this room is it had no view. Apparently they gave us the only room that the window was blocked. Also, now you have to request service on your room, but overall the room was still great. The pool is still one of my favorites, and restaurants in the ****** are decent. I would higly recomend staying here. Just a suggestion, the Rush Tower and Gold tower are the upgraded rooms. The Carson Tower are very basic.SOLD OUT

We arrived a bit late on the first day, around 6 PM. We had booked two higher-priced double rooms with street views, but at check-in, we weren't given adjacent rooms. Instead, we received rooms in completely different directions and far apart. One room faced a side street, and the other was a corner room right by a major road. From the outside, it was clear they were on the interior side of the building, with no real street view. To make matters worse, the glass windows were completely covered with a grid-like advertising film, making it impossible to see anything. We paid extra for a nice street view, so this arrangement was completely misleading and not what we paid for! It's disappointing that the price here was the same as on the official website, but booking here didn't come with any vouchers. The rooms themselves were fine, a bit smaller than the Bellagio's but felt newer. It's convenient to stay here if you want to see David Copperfield's show, as it's right downstairs. There weren't many Christmas decorations; the Bellagio had the most Christmas spirit in the whole city.From€64

The hotel was better than expected as reviews were not always so favorable. We were a little sad that the pool was not open but it happened to open two days before leaving. We liked the slots of fun bar for the cheap hot dogs, popcorn and beer. Our bus stop to go south on the deuce bus was right outside the street although the walk from our West hotel room was a little on the long side. The bus going north however was a little walk away but still very convenient. Windows were dirty on the outside but understandable as it was winter. Still a good view of the sphere.From€8

Expert Tips for Reducing Your Las Vegas Trip Cost and Maximizing Your Fun
- Stay off the Strip: Accommodations on the Strip can be pricey, so consider staying in a hotel or vacation rental off the beaten path.
- Use public transportation: Instead of renting a car or taking cabs, save money by using Las Vegas' public transportation system. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada offers an extensive bus system, with single rides starting at just $2. Or, try the Las Vegas Monorail, which can take you from one end of the Strip to the other for as little as $5 per ride.
- Take advantage of free attractions: Believe it or not, Las Vegas has plenty of free attractions. Check out the Bellagio Fountain, the Volcano at the Mirage, or the Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo, just to name a few.
- Eat smart: Las Vegas has no shortage of high-end dining options, but if you're on a budget, there are plenty of great places to eat that won't break the bank. Look for happy hour specials, discounted buffets, or affordable fast-food options.
- Know your limits: If you're a gambler, it's important to set a budget and stick to it. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and overspend, but staying disciplined and setting limits for yourself will save you money in the long run.
