Hi,
What are some good casinos in Las Vegas that aren’t incredibly expensive, but aren’t just cheap either? Also, what are some good hotels there? Don’t plan to get an amazing suite, but I don’t want something cheap either. Maybe a hotel room with 2 bedrooms so 2 people can stay in one room?
Here is an article that I wrote pretty recently that should answer some of your questions. (Aside: A two bedroom room in Las Vegas is going to be a suite, and is going to be pretty expensive. You would be better off getting two small rooms)
First Trip to Las Vegas? A Brief Guide, Tricks, and Tips
So, it’s your first trip to Las Vegas. Welcome to one of the greatest places on the planet! But, you want your first trip to be a good one. There are so many options when it comes to where you should stay and what you should do.
More than likely you are going to be flying into McCarran International Airport. First of all, I would suggest against renting a car unless you have plans to leave the strip or downtown. It is too easy to get around with cabs in this town to have to worry about parking or the hassle associated with renting a car. So unless you want to visit Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam, just walk outside and find the cab line.
Where should you stay on your vacation? This really depends on what you’re looking for out of your Las Vegas trip. If your looking for some of the most luxurious places in the world you can them here, you can also find places that are very affordable, and everything in between. There are a few points that you need to consider when choosing a hotel.
*If you want to stay in some of the fanciest hotels in the country, I would suggest staying at the Wynn hotel, their sister property Encore, or the Bellagio.
*There are some really fun places to stay if you are looking for a party. I would suggest the Venetian, Mandalay Bay, Caesars Palace, or Planet Hollywood.
*Are you looking for a place that is laid-back and middle of the road? The MGM Grand, Luxor, Paris, and the Mirage are all great choices.
*Maybe you want to save some money on the room when staying in Las Vegas. You need to look into staying at the Flamingo, Treasure Island, Harrah’s, Excalibur, Ballys, Circus Circus, or Imperial Palace.
All of the hotels have their good and points, and their not so good points. You can get more information about each hotel at my website.
Some people are concerned about how close the hotels are to each other. Don’t worry, for the most part they are within walking distance of each other as long as you are in the middle of the strip. You wouldn’t really want to walk from one end of the strip to the other, but it is possible to do.
One question I get a lot is if the drinks are really free in Las Vegas. The answer is yes, as long as you are gambling. If you have to actually buy drinks from a bar, they are very expensive (often $15+). So I tell everyone to find bars with video poker machines in them and put in $10 and start playing. The bartender will give you free drinks, and take care of you as long as you tip him. Normally $1 dollar per drink is a good enough tip. So even if you lose the money that you put into the poker machine, you are still saving money. Another little piece of advice is that it is actually legal to take an open container outside in Las Vegas. So don’t worry about guzzling down your drink before you go outside.
What if you don’t like gambling? Don’t worry, you can still have a great time in this town! Las Vegas is home to some of the best shows, the best restaurants, pristine shopping, and some of the greatest nightlife there is to offer.
For your first trip to las vegas, you should really see as much as possible. There is a lot to experience in this town. You need to go see as many hotels as you can, because they all have different themes. Half the fun is seeing what there is to offer in this town.
You should really see at least one show. There is a wide variety so whether you like music, comedy, acrobatics, or about anything else you can think of there is a show for it. You’ll be happy that you did.
Go to at least one fancy restaurant. Some of the most famous chefs in the world have restaurants here, so take advantage of the opportunity.
Throw in some gambling and shopping, and you’ll have a trip that you’ll look back at and smile!
