Find good prices on Las Vegas hotel air packages

Getting a great deal on a Las Vegas package does not meanbooking a hotel hours away from the action or putting up with sub-standard food and accommodation! Ideally you want to stay at great hotels right in the middle of the action offering fantastic service and high standards, but simply paying less for the privilege!

The most obvious and effective strategy for finding cheal Las vegas packages is simply to visit Vegas at off-peak times. Las Vegas in the middle of the week can be absurdly cheap a slong as there are no conventions or major events such as poker tournaments. Rooms can be up to 300% cheaper midweek and in addition you will often find table limits are less and reservations for restaurant tables and shows are much easier to come by.

Secondly, always compare rates at different hotels and resorts. Information is power and the more you have the cheaper rates you will find. Travel costs can be a large part of your Vegas vacation if you stay in a hotel miles from the strip. All those taxi/bus charges can really add up over a few days or weeks. Far better to pay slightly more for the hotel and be within walking distance of all the major attractions on the strip. Check out hotels such as Harrah’s, the Flamingo, Bill’s Gambling Hall, Imperial Palace and Bally’s hotel for cheap rates and central locations.

Join one of the many gambling clubs such as the Total Rewards Slots Club (Harrah’s) or The Players Club (MGM Mirage). These clubs offer frequent events and promotions including discounted meals and accomodation. Also register with as many hotels and resorts on the strip as possible and get on their mailing lists. They will then let you know of any upcoming special promotions when they need to fill rooms during quiet periods.

You could also consider the idea of staying in old downtown Las Vegas. The real Vegas with cheap food, rooms and low limit gambling.

Finally be patient and flexible in your approach, don’t accept the first half decent offer you find – keep searching for even better deals. Be prepared to change your preferred arrival/departure dates to benefit from any special offers or promotions you may find.

Staying at the Casino Royale in Las Vegas

The Casino Royale is located right in the heart of the strip on Las Vegas Boulevard, in between Harrah’s and the Venetian next to a McDonalds and right across the street from the Mirage hotel. All rooms are triple AAA rated and non smoking (essential in Las Vegas if you are a non smoker as smoking in public rooms/areas is still permitted in Vegas). Rooms and suites are all finished to a high standard with a good range of standard services and amenities such as free parking, two queen size or one king sizebeds, free local calls from room telephone, free cable TV (including HBO), large flat widescreen Tv (36″), safe, hair dryer, coffee maker and refridgerator.

Rooms at the Casino Royale are great value, especially if you choose a mid-weeek break and take advantage of any offers or promotions you can find, we got a room rate of just $29 per night with full facilities!

The Casino Royale has several restaurants and bars providing a wide range of food including, the Outback Steakhouse, a Denny’s, Noble Roman’s fast food pizza, a Subway and even a Ben and Jerry’s (essential to cool down in the Vegas heat!)

The “Value” theme also extends to the bars at the Casino Royale with many drinks, including a range of beers and Margaritas costing just $1. The Casino Royale is probably the cheapest place on the srtip to drink – assuming you are not gambling and getting free comp drinks of course!

If you like peace and quiet in your room we would suggest asking for a room at the North side of the hotel (facing away from the strip) as it can get noisy, particularly at weekends as the Royale is a small hotel (by Las Vegas standards).

Don’t worry about any bad reviews you may have read online about the Casino Royale, previously the hotel was criticised for smokey rooms and shabby furnishings, but the hotel has been completely remodelled recently and all rooms have been non-smoking since then with smoking only permitted in the Casino area.
