Does anyone have any experience gettting cheap/discounted hotel rates on the Las Vegas strip?

I don't necessarily mean the Belagio or Caesar's Palace, but someone has to have found a way to get 4-star places like the Excalibur to give you a better rate...? Just thought I'd ask for some advice before charging $1300 for a week's hotel. Thanks!Does anyone have any experience gettting cheap/discounted hotel rates on the Las Vegas strip?
What Bobby said is closest to the real deal. If you're not traveling within the next 30 days, go to some of the websites at the hotels and sign up for their email lists. I get emails a couple of times a week with specials - sometimes they're a good deal, sometimes not. Recently, I was offered NYNY for $69 a night - not so bad, considering their ';rack rate'; is $149 a night for the time period offered. (I ended up using another emailed deal and got it for $59 a night.)

The best deals i've found are booking directly through the hotel you are interested in or book a package directly through the airline you are taking. Avoid most vegas.com places- they charge a booking fee so they can make money. It all depends on when your going and how busy the hotel is. The rates definitely fluctuate. I just went in october and booked through allegiantair.com and stayed and the wynn with roundtrip airfare after taxes and hotel for 3 nites for a total of 450.00. I went last february and stayed at the hardrock- booking directly through their site for 103.00 per nite. I'm going in june and staying at the palms for 107.00 per nite. It's definitely cheaper during the week mon. tues. wed. But stay somewhere nice- it's worth it and you can brag- best of luck!
The best casino to stay at in Las Vegas is the Rio! You will love it! The beds are SO comfortable and it is by far the cleanest casino.


Go to this website:

You can pick exact days and get certain rates. My husband and I stayed one weekend for $75!


Dont stay at Excalibur. The rooms are small and the beds are so uncomfortable. And they only have showers in every room.
i stayed at MGM Grand 5 days (m-f) for $625.00 ($125.00 per nite.)


$1300.00 ($260.00 per nite) sounds way out of line in my opinion. Shop around because they all want your business.


Good Luck
The best prices ive found are on Travelworm.com
If you are a Total Rewards Card member any property that Harrahs owns has discounted room rates. Im hitting up Vegas in March again, could of stayed comped at Harrahs, Imperial, and the Rio. Chose Imperial again because of location and good luck I had gambling there. Dont use the hotel website, always call and talk to someone. There is a good chance if you call it will be lower than the website. If your a Total rewards member, log into your account and check the ';hot deals';. $1300 is outrageous for Excalibur.
You know I've always used http://www.travelnow.com but you can use just about any of those websites but make sure that YOU get to pick your hotel and not bid. I don't like Priceline.





You said you don't mean Belagio or Ceasar's but I understand what you mean but sometimes you can get really affordable prices at some very nice hotels for $79-$125 per nite. Yes there are a lot of 4 star hotels that give great rates on these other sites. But in my opinion when I've called hotels they give me the highest rates. Seemed like it. I once had to print off the page on travelnow to give to them at LUxor because I didnt book ahead and I couldnt get reception on my phone on the drive to vegas. My partner just said lets go to las vegas. wE didn't even have any clothes we had driven WAY across town and he was like this is so far we're headed to las vegas. Do you want to go to vegas tonite? I was all like SURE. We bought some outfits at like TARGET and I printed out a travelnow page at Luxor and they actually gave me the discounted price. But in my experiences you can find the best deals online.





Sometimes it's slow in Vegas and some of the hotels will give you vouchers for Slot Machines, or $10.00 off buffet dinners and the bouffets are like 5 star quality. Not all but most of the top notch hotels. not those STATIONS. A lot of the stations FIESTA, Sunset all those are like Burger King or some lowsy peasant food type stuff.





But if you want to spoil yourself try foods from all over stay at one of the nice hotes. Actually I stayed at Sunset Station and they REMODELED it was pretty nice much better than it used to be and they have good prices too.





Have fun! But you should check out travelnow and you can call them they are VERY nice. I used them for my trip to Europe also. No problems they are nice when you call them and explain things. Always print off your form too. because when I was in Europe they had my reservation but they wanted to see my paper??? I had to leave them a copy. But it was a good thing i had it because in Germany you cannot call 1800#s.





anyway, good luck
Yes you can get discount hotel rates on the strip using PROMO Codes. I have always used them and they save me a lot of money. Right now using Promo Codes you can get a room at the Excalibur from $51/night plus lots of freebies.


Here are a few codes http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/special.h鈥?/a>
Oh Wow! That's a lot for a Vegas hotel that is not Bellagio or Caesar's Palace. We recently booked our trip for 5 nights at Excalibur on Easter week for $51/night- total was $280 for 5 nights. Where are you looking? Here are some websites that offer great promo codes for the best hotels (including excalibur). If you want to let me know your dates, I may be able to help you a little more. Good Luck!
