Title: LAS VEGAS HOTELS
Post by: COH on October 11, 2016, 06:02:33 PM
Talk about anything relating to Las Vegas Hotels.  From Strip Hotels to Fremont Street..... Off the Strip Hotels to perhaps even Pahrump Hotels.....  any suggestions where to stay?

I usually stay at a Caesars/Harrahs property on the strip. Caesars would be the most expensive of them, but you can get a nice room at Harrahs and the  others close by for under $100 a night.

I satyed at golden nugget old vegas and the room was as nice as caesars rooms but for less than 100 a night, caesars tends to be more expensive. I think it was $79 at golden nugget.

The casinos want your money, so they are more than happy to put you up for a decent rate, especially on a mid week and not a holiday.

Keep an eye out for the new Asian place opening up. Resorts world. Plus there are more direct flights coming in from China. Big business expected.

Even if you gamble just a little, be sure to sign up for the casino players card at whichever property you plan to stay at or visit.  It's free to join the players clubs.  Chances are you will start receiving discount or comp offers via email and/or snail mail that you can use on future trips.

Don't forget to factor in the Resort Fees, as well as other fees which can more than double the cost of your hotel room.  There are very few hotel/casinos left in Vegas that don't charge Resort Fees.

All of the MGM properties in Vegas now charge fees for self-parking and valet, even for guests staying at there properties.  I think the first hour for self-parking is free and I heard that valet parking is somewhere around $30 which doesn't include the tip.

Some of the off-strip properties on Boulder Hwy (e.g. Sam's Town, Eastside Cannery) often have better room rates than the LV strip or downtown hotel/casinos.

I like staying at Boyd properties (e.g. Orleans, Mainstreet Station, Sam's Town, etc.), since they've been giving me the best comps based on my limited play.

In Pahrump, I usually stay at the Best Western or Saddle West.  I think someone posted awhile back that the new Holiday Inn is suppose to be pretty nice.

Over the years I've stayed just about everywhere on the strip, and many of the off strip properties as well. Usually I come to town for a specific event and go for the hotels closest to what I'm in town for, whether its Cesears, MGM, Mandalay Bay, or now with T-Mobile Arena, Monte Carlo.

I think my next visit will be for an event at the Palms, so will be staying either there or the Rio.

This is true, but the fees are waived if you've reached certain levels of their players club:

They are one of the only hotels that does not charge a "resort fee"   The suites are really nice for entertaining company too.  ;)   I stay on Boulder all the time (many times under $40 during the week).

On the strip, I took an internet special for The Linq.  It was great.  It's kind of in the middle of the strip, so I could easily just walk either direction from there when I went out.

MIRAGE

Fantastic Location..... Exit to the right..... Caesar's Palace is next door followed by the Bellagio.  Across the street and to the left is the Venetian, the Palazzo, Wynn, and Encore.

Poker room -- not as large as the Venetian or the Bellagio.  What I like about it..... how fast the waitresses serve FREE DRINKS!   8)

Stayed at Monte Carlo this year. Not real impressed, but the stadium looked pretty awesome out the window......
I'd like to stay downtown my next trip to Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget. Looked like they've really put some effort into improving the joint. Swim pool, aquarium, room renovations, and they say the price is a lot better than the strip? Anyone stay recently at the GN? Thoughts?

I've stayed on the strip for all my visits.  My favorites so far based on where I've stayed are the Flamingo, MGM and Harrah's.  The Flamingo and Harrah's are in the middle of the strip.  Carnival buffet at Harrah's is very good.

My most recent stay there was about a half year ago, and I've stayed there several times over the years.  I like it myself, and I'm pretty picky about hotels.

The Carson Tower has the cheapest rooms.  I haven't stayed in those in a while and they were fine when I did, but from some recent reviews I've read it seems they might be letting those fall apart a little bit.

The newer Rush Tower rooms are very nice, but the price for those is closer to the prices on the Strip.

The food has been good at all of the places I've eaten there.  Overall it's a nice facility.

About the Monte Carlo..... would say more of a basic themed MGM property.  Inside dined at a restaurant called BRAND..... YUM YUM that chicken was delicious.  This side of strip includes many nearby arenas..... MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mandalay Bay Events Center, House of Blues Music Hall, and the new T-Mobile Arena where it will be home to a new NHL hockey team.

I was at T-Mobile for UFC 200, it is very nice. Reminded me of the O2 arena in London, but without as many outdoor activities. I'm assuming they are leaving that for the Monte Carlo and NYNY.

Its a shame that the stadium proposal for the Raiders is no long the property on the other side of the highway from there. All they would have needed was a bridge and you would have a great interconnect of entertainment facilities.

The Monte Carlo is being rebranded and renamed.  They're planning to spit the hotel into two parts, the NoMad Las Vegas and The Park MGM.  The Monte use to be a nice mid-priced hotel, but I'm sure room rates will skyrocket once everything is completed.  They've already started with the renovations/construction, so if anyone is planning to stay at the Monte anytime soon, some sections are already closed.  With City Center next door, I'm not surprised by these changes.

Dr. Who how will the split happen as the Monte Carlo has three wings?  Or possible expansion somehow?  Anywho that's interesting news.

Yup, no free parking at any of the MGM properties (except Circus Circus, as sportsguy mentioned earlier).  Although if you're a MLife member and are at the Pearl level, you get free self-parking.  You pretty much have to be a high roller, if you want free valet parking.  MGM started this whole parking fee BS and I'm sure other properties will play follow the leader just like what happened with the resort fees.

You're welcome!  I also forgot to mention that if you stay in the Rush Tower, ask for the side that faces away from the Fremont Street Experience.  The bands are loud and they played until 1 am on the weekdays I was there (maybe later on weekends?).  Unless you are up all night, in which case it doesn't matter.  I'm not sure which rooms or wings in the other towers might have that problem.

Oh definitely. They paid 100% of the costs to build the arena and want to maximize the revenues gained.

But there other reason was because they can. They have a concentration down in that part of the strip that makes it really challenging to park elsewhere and walk.

And it does impact my desire to rent a car when I go to Vegas. Or at least where I stay when I do. If it wasn't for the brothels, I doubt I'd ever rent a car while staying on the strip in Vegas.

I stayed at a place once that's right off the I-15 frontage road on the south end of Vegas not too far from highway 160. Don't remember its name but this place was scary. The motel office was inside a steel cage with what looked like a bullet proof window in front. It had an armed clerk & other mean lookin' security guards. It was the only place I saw with a vacancy sign in front. There was a National Rodeo in Vegas that week & rooms were all filled up everywhere I looked.

When I got to my room the first thing I noticed was the door, the door jamb & the door knob all looked brand new. The jamb trim hadn't been painted yet... still plain wood. The door chain on the inside looked new too. Couldn't help bit wonder why all the new fixin's for the door. I slept with my .38 under the pillow that night.

Been trying to stay off the Strip when I go out there now and for the most part have been successful. Right now my favorite is South Point. Decent prices, easy to get in and out of, restaurant prices are comparable with outside ones, nice clean rooms, and shower that's tall enough for me to fit under ;D. Silverton isn't a bad place to stay either since it's right off Blue Diamond Road. I've seen some place way south of town called the "M" that I've been meaning to at least take a look in while I'm out there.

I stopped by the "M Resort" during my recent trip to Sin City.  I've never stayed there, but a few friends who have said their rooms are nice.  It's more of a locals resort/casino, due to it's location and it's usually less crowded than the ones on the strip.  The M Resort's parent company now owns the Tropicana too, so their players card is good at both resorts.

I love Las Vegas. I like going there and looking at all the stuff but I have to agree with fly on the hotels. Change the name of the Imperial Palace to the Ling,  put some new wall paper up and install some new carpets and charge $100 more per night.  Same thing with Bill's that was a great Strip Hotel.  Great room Rates and food deals not to mention Big Elvis in the lounge.  Turned it into a boutique hotel where they expect you to put on a tuxedo and eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.  There are still some good bargains in Vegas, just not any of the Caesar's properties and not on the strip. Golden Nugget and 4 queens are very nice at good rates. Plenty of decent hotel/casinos off the strip at good rates too. 

BTW: What in the fuck is a Ling?

Fuck Caesars and their Ferris Wheel which they can stick right up their ass.

And at least Cesaers isn't charging for parking.

And the Imperial Palace was due for a makeover 20 years ago when I first visited Vegas.

If you still need a dive place on the strip, there is always the Casino Royale

I think the golden Nugget charges something like $5 which is a fraction of what the Caesars resorts charge.  As far as I know, 4 Queens doesn't charge any resort fee.

Resort fee at the Golden Nugget is $27.50 - http://www.goldennugget.com/lasvegas/faq.asp

And while the resort fees are getting out of hand, I haven't seen any that are as high as the price of the room or higher.  Maybe higher than another cheaper hotel/motel.  Although, sometimes I get comp rooms and still have to pay the resort fee, so in that case it's higher.  But that's not what you meant.

According to the link on reply #49:

Four Queens -- does not charge a resort fee.

The LINQ -- resort fee is $29.00 + tax.

Las Vegas Hotel Resort Fees 2016

Wow, Golden Nugget has changed. It only use to be about $5.  No wonder why their room offers have been so good lately. They're picking it up on the back end of the deal through resort fees.

Thanks for the info.

Well he couldn't get the comps...they wouldn't use the comps he got in Reno to use on the rooms in Vegas. I just booked my room for Circus Circus.
Can I get this straight...so Circus Circus has no resort fee in Reno but it does in LV?

I love Las Vegas. I like going there and looking at all the stuff but I have to agree with fly on the hotels. Change the name of the Imperial Palace to the Ling,  put some new wall paper up and install some new carpets and charge $100 more per night.  Same thing with Bill's that was a great Strip Hotel.  Great room Rates and food deals not to mention Big Elvis in the lounge.  Turned it into a boutique hotel where they expect you to put on a tuxedo and eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.  There are still some good bargains in Vegas, just not any of the Caesar's properties and not on the strip. Golden Nugget and 4 queens are very nice at good rates. Plenty of decent hotel/casinos off the strip at good rates too. 

BTW: What in the fuck is a Ling?

Fuck Caesars and their Ferris Wheel which they can stick right up their ass.

LOL their Ferris Wheel (Amusement ride) is actually called High Roller  ;D.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Roller_

Behind the Mirage at their pool the High Roller can be viewed.  That's one tall Ferris Wheel at a height of 550 feet.
Interesting stat..... "a single 30-minute ride, the time taken for the entire wheel to rotate once"

This is correct. Circus Circus Reno recently (within the last year I believe) was sold.

As I expected, CET properties on the LV strip are playing follow the leader and are now going to charge for parking.  Although, Total Rewards member who are platinum and above will still received free self-parking.

Stayed at the Sands in Reno . They tacked on 12 bucks a day in Taxes about resort fees . Maybe more

The Sands is really going down hill fast - as the prices are going up!   Up until last year, I stayed there every time I visited Reno.   No more!    The Nugget has much better deals through Hotels.com and is a lot nicer.

This could make going to Sheri's and The CR a royal pain in the short term, but easier in the long term..

A 6-mile stretch of State Route 160, which connects Las Vegas to Pahrump, is slated to be widened from two to four lanes starting in 2018.

I get 2 night free every week except for holidays. I had to stay at another motel on Christmas day but got the Sands for free the following 2 days.  When they comp the rooms, they wave the resort fee and just charge the $75 refundable room deposit.
