Five Ways to Save Money on Your Las Vegas Hotel Stay

Are you thinking about a Las Vegas vacation but having a hard time finding a hotel that fits your budget? With a little research, you can almost always find a great room deal at a Strip casino. Below are five tips you can use to save big money on your Vegas Strip hotel.

Try to book your vacation during the off-peak seasons and days of the week. The cheapest hotel rates are usually available during the summer and early winter, and the best days of the week to snag a cheap hotel room are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Consider booking a flight and hotel vacation package through a travel agency site such as Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity. The flight and hotel packages sold through these sites commonly save you 30% off the cost of booking the flight and hotel separately. The only drawback to booking through a travel site is that it can be harder to get refunds on your trip should your itinerary change. Visit the casino’s website and join their “players club” in order to receive exclusive members-only promotions. Many casinos, including the Wynn Las Vegas, allow you to sign up for their players club (called the Red Card club), online and start receiving special offers instantly. Another option for receiving promotions from the casino is to find the “Special Offers” or “Promotions” page on the casino’s website. From there, you can usually subscribe to receive exclusive offers by email. Some hotels even offer instant deals on these pages — no email subscription required. If you are considering a stay at a Caesars Entertainment owned hotel (such as Caesars Palace, Flamingo, or Planet Hollywood), visit the hotel’s reservations page and under “Calendar Options” in the right-hand column, select “Hot Deals”. From there, you’ll be able to access exclusive promotional rates. Search for hotel promotion codes online. Las Vegas hotel promo codes work the same as retail industry promo codes; you can use the code directly on your reservation to receive a discount. For example, the Bellagio often has a promo code available for 15% – 25% off your hotel stay. Once you find a great deal, check the casino’s advertised rate to make sure it isn’t subject to a resort fee. Many hotels in Las Vegas impose a mandatory resort fee, which is a daily charge of $5-$25 (or more!) per night for services ranging from local phone calls and newspaper delivery to internet access. The resort fee may be not disclosed on your reservation; the hotel will require you to pay the fee at check-in. Want to avoid resort fees during your stay? All the casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment (including Caesars Palace, Flamingo, and Paris) are resort fee free!

As you can see, there are several strategies you can employ to find Las Vegas hotel deals. Saving money on your hotel means you’ll have extra dough to spend on all the great gaming, dining, entertainment, and shopping the Las Vegas Strip has to offer!
