The deal: If you’re looking for a little Sin City fun this month, why not get it at a bargain price? Now you certainly can, with the most stellar of Las Vegas hotel buys we found for you, all right on The Strip. These sizzling deals include a chic overnight at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay for $189; an upscale stay at the Monte Carlo for just $89/night; or a super-low rate at the Tropicana where rooms go for only $45. It would be a sin to miss these sinfully cheap deals!
Just $189 for a chic night at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay
If you want to live it up in Vegas at a heavily discounted price, we suggest booking the unbeatable Expedia deal we found. A mere $189 gets you an overnight at the ultra-chic and glamorous The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, its sophisticated sister property perched up high on the top floors of this mega-resort. It’s a more intimate version of Mandalay Bay, described by Frommer’s as “utterly fabulous ... a world of sleek towering walls of lighting, ambiguous modern art, and both guests and employees in head-to-toe black” that “wows you from the start”. And wow you it surely does, with its four-star trimmings – plush guestrooms; gourmet restaurants; a well-equipped spa; and, best of all, access to all the Mandalay Bay amenities, including its fabled casino.
Pay only $85/nt at fabulous Monte Carlo Resort & Casino
We’ve got another Strip treat for you. Expedia offers heavily reduced rates for midweek overnights at Monte Carlo Resort & Casino. Through late July, you can stay at this fantastic property on the South Strip for just $89/night. Fodor’s writes, “Modeled after the opulent Place du Casino in Monaco, the Las Vegas version of Monte Carlo replicates its fanciful arches, domes, ornate fountains, marble floors, gas-lit promenades, and Gothic glass registration area overlooking the lush pool area.” It’s got all the trappings you’d expect to find at a Vegas resort, including seven restaurants; three tennis courts; a swimming pool; a health club and spa; and, of course – a Vegas pre-requisite – a stunning casino!
Cheapie stay at popular Tropicana Resort and Casino for $45/nt
The top budget option in Vegas is this magnificent Orbitz deal: $45/night for a stay at the Tropicana Resort and Casino! This is a long-time cheapie favorite on The Strip, with all the bells and whistles of a Vegas resort. Those include a fabulously lush 5-acre pool area, several restaurants, a casino, and, of course, comfy guestrooms with the usual in-room perks. Gayot.com writes, “the 50,000-square-foot casino's faux Tiffany dome continues to dazzle. ‘The Magic of Rick Thomas’ in the afternoon and ‘Les Folies Bergère’ at night are also top rate, as is the tropical-themed pool with lagoons, spas and waterfalls winding through the property.”
