Las Vegas Strip—luxury five-star hotel
Las Vegas has always been famous for its luxurious five-star hotels, and although they are of top quality, if you choose the right time and stay in the off-season, these five-star hotels are actually not as expensive as you think.
If it happens during American festivals, weekends, exhibitions, large-scale events, etc., the price may be several times higher than during normal periods. The biggest revenue of hotels in this city comes from peripheral consumption (entertainment, shows, tourism, catering, conferences, exhibitions and casinos). Therefore, they usually provide relatively low room prices to attract consumers, including tourists, business travelers and gamblers. Come.

Top considerations when choosing a hotel
1. Location
Hotels are mainly located on the Las Vegas Strip, and most of the busiest entertainment and sightseeing attractions are in the center of the street. When many people first choose a hotel, they will want the cheaper the better. They choose a hotel near the north or At the end of the street on the south side, although the room rate is a bit cheaper, you have to walk a long way every time you come out of the hotel to play on the street. If you are tired of walking, it will cost you US$15 to US$20 to take a taxi one way (depending on the conditions and conditions of the car). distance).
Try to choose a hotel location as close to the center of the Las Vegas Strip as possible. If it is too far away from the Las Vegas Strip, it is recommended not to consider it.Choosing the wrong location saved some money on the room, but it caused traffic problems during the trip and wasted time. The gain outweighs the gain..
Vegas.com The website uses Google Maps and adds additional design to create an interactive map. You can see the hotel location and check the price at the same time, which is very convenient.Click here to link to the Vegas.com interactive map page.
You can use it to check the hotel location and price but you don't necessarily have to book it through their platform. We have included some booking tips in the later sections of this post.
2. Budget
Of course, if you choose based on location alone, everyone would want to live in the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, or the Cosmopolitan and Aria in the middle. These top hotels are both high-end and located in the center of the best avenues, and the room prices are also relatively high. On weekdays, the average nightly price is generally more than $150, while on holidays and festivals, the price may start from $200 to $300 per night. Prices for other budget and cheap hotels range from about $50 to $70 a night on weekdays, and between $100 and $200 on holidays.
Note: It is important to note that each hotel will charge a "Resort fee". This fee is mainly called the fee for the use of hotel facilities, which generally includes the use of room Wifi, gym, swimming pool, parking fee, etc. Even if these facilities are not used, this fee will still be charged. When booking, pay special attention to how much this fee is for the hotel. The average cost is between $25-$40+ per night, and higher-end hotels may cost up to $45-$50+ per night, plus tax. Often when the room price is cheap, this fee is often higher than the room price. This amount will be charged to the guest's credit card when checking in to the room.If you want to know more about "Resort fee", please click here.
3. Personal Preferences
The Las Vegas Strip is full of hotels, ranging from the most ordinary motels, acceptable small hotels, to the most luxurious five-star hotels. Even if you filter the location and budget, there are still several hotels to consider.
Now it comes down to your personal preferences.
Almost every hotel has its own style and characteristics. For example: the most famous hotel: Bellagio has an Italian with elegant palace style;Caesars Palace with an Ancient Roman style;Planet Hollywood The room has Hollywood movie embellishments;Pyramid Hotel Luxor Hotel with Egypt's pyramid appearance;Paris Hotel has a mini Effiel Tower next to the building;New York New York Hotel New York New York with the reproduction of New York City, and the mini Statue of Liberty.
In fact, you don’t need to stay in this hotel to visit. No matter which hotel you stay in, you can visit these hotels and most of the attractions. But if it’s a pool party, that’s a separate discussion because that’s a ticketed event. Moreover, the hotel will reserve the swimming pool for guests staying in the hotel. Higher-end hotels usually have higher-end and complete outdoor swimming pools.
It depends on your personal preference for hotel style and features. No matter how expensive or high-end a hotel is, it’s not worth it if you don’t like it. On the other hand, if you can enjoy your stay in a moderately cheap hotel, it is also a good choice. If your stay is longer, you can also consider choosing two different hotels.
Room types introduction
Because usually, when we stay in a hotel, we only choose the most common room types, and may not have researched the advanced room types. When you come to Las Vegas, experiencing luxurious rooms is also a major attraction. If it is not the peak period, staying in a good room is not as expensive as expected.
To put it simply, the room types in Las Vegas are roughly divided into: Deluxe Room, Suite, Penthouse, and Villa
Deluxe Room - the most basic room type
Many hotels will add a Deluxe room, Resort Room, Standard Room, etc. in front of the Room, which all have the same meaning.
But if it is a "Tower Room", it is different. As long as there is a Tower, most of them are one-level higher-level rooms, belonging to the VIP level. It is possible to use different VIP elevators, swimming pools, lobbies, etc. separately from other passengers.
Pictured above is Resort Queen in Mirage
Suite — Advanced room type (wide range of levels)
In fact, suites varies a lot. However, as long as they are called suites, they should have a small living area with a sofa. The advanced suites may have that living area in a separate room. Most suites also come with a guest bathroom.
Some suites will exceed the Penthouse level, which we will describe in the next section, such as the high-end suites like the Presidential Suite, which is a more luxurious, larger living rooms and multiple rooms.
Pictured here is the Bellagio Salone Suite (source: Bellagio.com)
Penthouse - Superior Room Type
When it's called penthouse, there are certain criteria met. It usually includes a large living room, a separate dining area, and a bar. There are also one room or two room penthouses. The master bedroom should at least have a large bathroom and a dressing table and a storage room.
The picture above shows Aria’s One Bedroom Penthouse
Villa - Highest Class Room Type
Generally, few people will notice this level of room type, which usually costs from 3,000 to tens of thousands of dollars per night. Most of these top-level suites are on the top floors of the hotel and have the best views.
Most of the time they are large with a luxurious living room, and some with a private outdoor spa (like MGM Skyloft), private massage room, or private gym. The picture below shows Wynn's top-floor three-bedroom villa, in addition to a luxurious large living room, it has a with a billiard room and a small gym.

Additional Tips For Booking Hotels
1. Compare on different platforms
First of all, the most basic booking technique which most people already know is "Compare". But which sites should you really check and how many of them actually offer discounts?
The following are travel websites that can be compared:-
Platform name | Features | |
Vegas.com | A dedicated platform for Las Vegas that provides room reservations (including routes to North America, Asia and around the world) "Flight and hotel" package), booking shows, English tour groups and attraction tickets, etc. Because they specialize in Las Vegas travel products, you can refer to their prices as they often have price discounts. | |
Expedia | One of the world's largest hotel booking platforms, you can book hotels around the world, including major hotels in Las Vegas. | |
IFunVegas | We have independently negotiated contracts with hotels here, and sometimes the prices we can provide are more favorable than those available online. You need to consult with us to check the hotel and date. We accept credit card and Paypal payments. (Click here to fill out the inquiry form) | |
Suiteness | The US high-end reservation platform is specially designed to book a superior room type above the suite. The platform has very good surrounding services (English): For example, if you want to have a party in the room, a birthday party, etc., they can help arrange it. |
This site also provides hotel booking services, please send an email directly to info@ifunvegas.com Consultation
2. Make good use of mobile APP to book rooms and get extra discounts
There are many online platforms that have mobile apps and will reward APP users with additional discounts in the APP that cannot be seen on the website. like a big platform Expedia APP sometimes has such discounts.
3. Just book the cheapest room type and try to upgrade when you check in.
If the room prices are not expensive during the travel period, it means that there are not many people during those days, and the hotel suites will still be available.
When booking a room, it is recommended not to book a better suite. Just book a basic room type and ask if there is an upgrade option when you check in. You can usually make up the cheaper difference by changing to a better room, such as a large suite (with living room, bar, sofa), with windows facing a better strip view, or a high floor. Sometimes there are even free upgrades (depending on the hotel and occupancy on the day).
When checking in at the counter, when asking for ID and credit card, put a $20 dollar bill in the middle, and politely ask if there is any room upgrade available (you can say: Is there any room upgrade available?) Although the $20 dollar is considered a tip Give it to the counter staff. At the same time, if the upgrade is successful, the value will be far more than the $20, so it is worth trying. Even if you cannot upgrade, the counter will usually refund the $20, so don't worry.
4. Book early and choose off-season or mid-week
If you are traveling to Las Vegas purely for tourism and not to participate in specific activities, you can choose to visit on weekdays (Sunday to Thursday nights) or during off-season weeks when there are fewer activities. The price on weekdays is usually two to three times different from that on Friday and Saturday nights. For example, Bellagio may cost $200 to $300 a night on weekends, and you can book it for as little as $100 on weekdays. If you book a room more than two to three weeks in advance, it will usually be as low as $XNUMX. It is much cheaper than last-minute booking, unless there is a large-scale event or exhibition held in Las Vegas.
Once you decide you are traveling to Vegas, booking early can actually save you a decent amount of money.
5. Make good use of “flight and hotel” packages
A flight and wine package is usually much cheaper than booking separately (you may save 20-30% of the room price). However, there are pros and cons. Although you can save a lot by making good use of in-flight drinks, you need to book them in advance because in-flight drinks involve air tickets.
Because the closer the flight date is to the travel date, the higher the price will be. We recommend booking at least three weeks in advance for a better price.
But the disadvantages of ordering machine wine are mainly for two reasons:-
- Air ticket time limit – Many flight and wine packages have a cheap price strategy, but when you click in, you will find that the price is bound to the air ticket time. Sometimes it departs very early in the morning or in the evening, neither of which is the most ideal trip. time.
- Binding to a single hotel – You can only bind to one of the many meal options, and there is no chance to experience other unique hotels. (Commonly known as Hotel hopping, you can exchange for three hotels by staying in Las Vegas for three nights!)
