thenewbie Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 It's going to be difficult with a Saturday check-in. You can give it a try, but hotwire is showing $155 as the lowest rate (Downtown - 4* Resort). Link to comment

todd-r Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I'm planning to go to Vegas on 5/14 and stay 1 night only. Would it be possible to get a 3* or 4* hotel for less than $80 on the Strip or in Downtown? We were in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and were in a similar situation. The Saturday night arrival was 'crazy' for high rates. We ended up downtown at the El Cortez: http://www.elcortezhotelcasino.comWhile it's not right next to the Golden Nugget, it's a quick 5 minute walk. We were surprised at how 'alive' downtown gets on Saturday night, including live bands playing 'outdoor concert style' at each intersection along Freemont.In all, we enjoyed our stay at the El Cortez. It's not a 5 star hotel, like the Venetian (where we stayed the next 2 nights). But, for $62 for a tower room that had been reno'd recently, large, smoke free, and comfortable king bed, it was a steal. Not to mention the coupon book you get when you check in. 1 per person - so you get $10 off breakfast (or any other meal). We also had a coupon for a free bottle of wine given to us when we checked in. So, we enjoyed that (Woodridge Cab. Sav.) with our $15.95 Primne Rib in their 'fancy' restaurant. I'm glad we decided to stay downtown, and the El Cortez helped to make us think what Vegas must have been like in the (g)olden days. In all, I would rate it a 3*, but that's just my opinion.
