Vegas: Where to Stay

Las Vegas is known for flashy hotels and first class accommodations, but before you make any decision, it’s worth considering why you’re heading there in the first place. Is this a gambling trip? Are you planning to spend every waking moment in the casino? Are you going to be out till three in the morning? If that’s the case, you might want to opt for a lower-end hotel. It’ll still be clean and functional, but if you’re not planning to spend much time in your room, you don’t really need the frills.

On the other hand, maybe you’re hoping for a more laid-back experience: maybe you plan to spend your time lounging by the pool and catching up on rest, or you’re dragging kids along with you. In that case, it might be worth investing a little more in the place you call “home” for the duration of your holiday.

The other thing to keep in mind is location. If it’s your first trip to Vegas, there’s no point staying anywhere but the Strip. That’s where everything is, the center of the action. Even if you’re holidaying with children, you’ll want to be near the attractions. If you’re low on cash, try to stay near the center of the strip. That way, it’s fairly convenient walking distance to everything. If you’re not worried about money, on the other hand, the monorail runs frequently and efficiently back and forth along the strip all day long. It’ll just cost you an arm and a leg.

Whatever you decide, Vegas is full of great hotels. As long as you don’t wind up in the middle of nowhere by the airport, you’re sure to do well!
