casino Even in today’s economy people still love to travel, and hundreds of thousands of those people from all over the world travel to Las Vegas each and every month. Unfortunately a lot of us who are on a budget or like to think of ourselves as frugal, not cheap, have been priced out of a lot of Casinos located on the strip. The idea of paying $149 to $300 a night in the middle of the week is just a little to much too stomach especially when you have to factor in your gambling, shopping, dining, and going to Vegas shows budgets as well

The good news is there are plenty a budget friendly Casino Hotels in Las Vegas, and some of them are even on the strip. So let us take a look at a few of the popular budget friendly hotels in Las Vegas.

Casino Royale on the Strip
Located between the Venetian and Harrah’s this small 152 room casino is right in the middle of all the Las Vegas Strip action. I recently stayed here for only $29 a night on a Wednesday through Thursday.

Imperial Palace located on the Strip
Located between Harrah’s and The Flamingo this Casino has over 2,500 rooms and their midweek prices currently start at $35 a night. $55 on the weekends.

Sam’s Town located on Boulder Highway
Sam’s Town is a resort located on Boulder highway in Las Vegas, they have everything you will ever need to enjoy a vacation in Las Vegas including a bowling alley. They also offer shuttle services to the strip and downtown Las Vegas. They currently have midweek specials starting at $39 a night, and their weekend specials start at $59 a night.

Fitzgerald Hotel and Casino located downtown
The Fitz as it is known, is very much a budget friendly hotel with clean rooms. It is downtown within easy walking access to multiple casinos and the Fremont Street Experience. The midweek room rates start at $29 and the weekend rates start at $49.

El Cortez Casino located downtown
This is one of my favorite casinos in Las Vegas, it was remodeled a couple of years ago and that changed this place considerably. It is located within walking distance of Fremont Street and all that downtown Las Vegas has to offer. The rates start at $27 a night. You will definitely get the feel of old school Vegas at the el Cortez.

When heading to Las Vegas do not be afraid to stay at a downtown or off strip property to get a great deal on a hotel room. The gambling requires less money, as the table limits are lower. The food deals are better as well. Most people only use their hotel rooms to sleep a few hours and take a shower before they head out the door again. So do a little research and save yourself some money and do not forget when looking for the best rates in Las Vegas to check the major travel sites but also check directly with the Casino you are interested in, you just might get a better deal.
