South Strip
South Strip
The south strip is the home of many big new (expensive) casino/hotel/resorts. Don't expect any bargains at MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay. However, if you want to sample these mega resorts and not bust your bankroll, check out these alternatives:
The Boardwalk-Holiday Inn sometimes offers rooms online for $29.99. This is just about the best you can get on the south strip.
The Excalibur, on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard, offers midweek rooms @$49. Beware though, lots of families with kids here, sort of an ungraded Circus Circus.
The San Remo is just steps from the Tropicana and MGM and offers excellent rooms starting at $48.
