If you are planning a memorable, one of a kind vacation, you just might want to take a trip to Vegas and stay in one of the best Las Vegas hotels. Trust me; it will be an impressive experience, particularly if this is your first visit to this spectacular city. If you’re worried about your budget, you need not be. There are plenty of luxurious places to stay that won’t clean you out of your casino money.

We’re going to concentrate on saving you as much money as we possibly can without sacrificing all the great amenities that we have come to expect from the finer Vegas hotels. By the way, did you know that 15 of the 20 largest hotels in the world are located in Las Vegas? If you’ve been there before and have seen the hotel properties on the strip you will not be surprised by that at all.

On my first trip to Las Vegas I decided to stay at the MGM Grand. It’s a classic and everyone has heard of it. The only problem was, for me at least, that it is so enormous it seemed that everything I did required a whole lot of walking. I like to get my own car for the exercise, especially when I’m living it up at meal time and beyond. But it it took forever to get to the parking garage and that got old after a while.

Some of the best Las Vegas hotels are located off the strip. Fremont Street is loaded with all the classic hotel casinos that we have come to know in the movies and on TV. The Golden Nugget, Fitzgerald’s, the Four Queens are just a few of the classic downtown Las Vegas hotels that offer very comfortable accommodations that are also very affordable.

Sometimes we like to get even further away from the nightlife where things are quieter. The Green Valley Ranch is one of those places that are actually located in downtown Las Vegas. There are several others and all are luxurious and comfortable. Most people think they’re experience won’t be complete unless the stay on the strip. But I’m here to tell you that that is a myth.

Many of the best Las Vegas hotels have a central theme. Treasure Island has the battling pirate ships, the Hard Rock Casino uses rock-and-roll for its theme, New York, New York has a replica of the New York skyline in front of the hotel, Paris has their own version of the Eiffel Tower and the Venetian has gondolas from Venice that their guests can ride in.

There are always special deals available no matter what time of year it is. It’s just a matter of knowing where to find them. If you’re going to Vegas on the spur of the moment and you will want to check to see if there have been any last-minute cancellations you can take advantage of. Otherwise, it is always best to plan well in advance so you have time to shop and compare the room rates.

There are many ways to get a deal on the best Las Vegas hotels if you watch for them. Package deals will include such things as tickets to a show, a free meal and other such incentives. If you’re flying in, lots of times you can get a better price if you book your flight and your hotel together. One of the best ways to save in Vegas is to win at the casino and have the hotel comp your room. But that’s a secret I just might have to keep!
