20 Best Hotel Rates on the Las Vegas Strip | Ranked from Budget to Splurge Rates

1. Excalibur

The Vibe

Castle-themed resort right in the thick of the Strip action. It’s the budget anchor of the south end, drawing families and first-timers who want the casino-floor experience without the premium price tag. The 8.1 comfort score is surprisingly solid for the rate tier.

What You Actually Get

Three-star rooms that are spacious but dated in décor. Free WiFi scores an 8.3, which beats many pricier neighbours. The pool stays open seasonally, and the on-site casino restaurant lineup covers breakfast through dinner. Pet policy allows animals with charges, so you can bring the dog without breaking the bank. The 7.9 value score confirms this is one of the best entry-level Strip plays – just budget for the resort fee at check-in, which isn’t always clear from the base rate.

Choose this if: You want the Strip’s cheapest major resort without sleeping in a shoebox.

2. Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

The Vibe

The Flamingo trades on nostalgia – it’s got that old-school Vegas energy with a modern pool scene. Location is its best asset: 9.2 puts it within minutes of the Strip’s biggest attractions. Mid-range pricing makes it a go-to for conventiongoers and weekend trippers who want centre-Strip access.

What You Actually Get

Rooms are comfortable (8.2) and clean (8.1), but they’re standard casino-hotel fare with no surprises. Free WiFi hits 8.5 in guest testing. The pool complex is the real draw – adults-only party energy in summer, though note the main pool closes November to February, so winter guests get limited options. On-site dining runs from breakfast through dinner, though guest reviews flag them as overpriced for the quality. The 7.9 value score reflects that – you’re paying for the address, not the steak.

Choose this if: You value centre-Strip walkability over room luxury and want a lively pool scene.

3. The LINQ Hotel & Casino, A Caesars Destination

The Vibe

LINQ is the young-adult play on the Strip – modern, slightly edgy, and connected to the High Roller observation wheel. The 4-star rating doesn’t match the guest score (7.6), but the location at the Strip’s exact centre pulls in solid walkability numbers. It’s a budget-friendly base for late-night parties.

What You Actually Get

Rooms are compact but well-designed. Free WiFi scores 8.5, and the outdoor pool is a summer highlight – though guests must be 21+. Families have access to a separate Caesars family pool, which is a smart workaround. Dining runs the full day from breakfast to dinner. The 7.7 value score shows you’re paying a slight premium for the Linq Promenade location. Check-in requires a 21+ ID and valid passport for international guests. No hidden surprises – just the standard resort fee.

Choose this if: You’re 21-35, want a central spot with a party pool, and don’t need top-tier room finishes.

4. Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

The Vibe

This Miramar-owned property blends Hollywood memorabilia with a full-service spa and serious dining credentials. The 9.3 location score is among the highest on the Strip – you’re dead-center, walking distance to the Bellagio fountains and Grand Canal Shoppes. The 8.0 rating makes it a safe mid-market pick for couples and solo travellers.

What You Actually Get

Rooms hit 8.4 for both comfort and cleanliness – consistent quality across the board. Free WiFi scores 8.8, a strong signal for digital nomads. Eight on-site restaurants cover breakfast through dinner, including celebrity-chef spots like Gordon Ramsay Burger. Guest reviews highlight the casino’s energetic vibe and the attached Miracle Mile Shops. Pet policy allows animals with charges, and the 8.1 staff score suggests the service holds up even during busy weekends. It’s a solid middle-ground between entry-level budget and high-end luxury.

Choose this if: You want a reliable, walkable, well-fed Strip base without the luxury price tag.

5. Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

The Vibe

TI has quietly become one of the Strip’s better value plays – free parking, solid location (9.0), and a reputation for comfortable beds (highlighted in guest data). The pirate-theme exterior has mellowed over the years, but the spirit remains: a resort that doesn’t try too hard and delivers where it counts.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is the headline – on the Strip, that can save you $20-40 per night. Rooms score 8.3 for both comfort and cleanliness, with a mini fridge in the standard room (guests mentioned the convenience with a nearby CVS). The pool is seasonal outdoor, and dining covers full-day options. Free WiFi scores 7.7 – weaker than some neighbours, but offset by the parking savings. The 7.9 value score suggests TI isn’t the absolute cheapest, but the free parking tilts the math heavily in its favour for drivers.

Choose this if: You’re driving to Vegas and want to skip the daily parking fees most Strip casinos charge.

6. Trump International Hotel Las Vegas

The Vibe

The Trump plays a different game: no casino, no smoke-filled lobby, no 24-hour slot jingles. It’s an all-suite hotel with a spa, free parking, and a 9.0 guest rating. The 9.4 cleanliness and comfort scores are the highest of any property within a mile of the Strip. This is the anti-Vegas Vegas hotel.

What You Actually Get

Every room comes with a kitchenette or full kitchen – so you can cook your own meals and skip the $20 breakfast buffet. Free parking is included. Free WiFi scores 8.6. The outdoor pool and hot tub are quieter than the Strip’s party pools, and the fitness centre is well-equipped. The hotel offers a free shuttle to Caesars Palace from 8am-midnight, which essentially gives you Strip access without paying for a cab. Note the resort fee is collected separately at check-in. Guests under 21 need a parent or guardian.

Choose this if: You want luxury, quiet, and the ability to cook your own meals while still being steps from the Strip.

7. Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino

The Vibe

Downtown Grand is the Downtown answer to Strip prices: lower rates, less walkway foot traffic, but serious pool cred. The Citrus Grand Pool Deck is the largest in all of Downtown Las Vegas, beating anything near Fremont Street. The 8.5 staff score and 8.5 cleanliness suggest a well-run operation.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is included – a major win for Downtown. Rooms in the Gallery Tower come with coffee makers; Grand rooms don’t, but there’s a lobby café. The pool is open seasonally. The on-site casino is smaller than Strip behemoths but functional. Pets are allowed (up to 2 dogs, 22kg each, $75/night fee). Crucially, Booking.com rates include the resort fee in the total – no surprise add-on at check-in. The 8.4 value score is the highest in the list so far, confirming the price-quality ratio.

Choose this if: You want Downtown energy, a serious pool, and no parking drama.

8. Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino

The Vibe

Mardi Gras is the budget king of Paradise Road – not on the Strip, but walking distance to the Monorail and Convention Center. The 7.0 rating is the lowest in this list, but the value play is real: free parking, smoking rooms available, and an absurdly low $5.67 resort fee.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is the core draw. Rooms are basic – facilities score 6.8 and cleanliness 7.1 tell the story. But it’s functional: smoking rooms are available for those who want them. The outdoor pool is open seasonally. Free WiFi scores 6.7 – the weakest in the list. The $5.67 resort fee (from guest Q&A) means you’re paying literally pennies for the mandatory add-on. You’ll need a valid photo ID and credit card at check-in, and a refundable deposit fee may apply. Ideal for conventiongoers who plan to be out all day.

Choose this if: You need a cheap base near the Convention Center and don’t care about room frills.

9. GetAways at the Jockey Club

The Vibe

The Jockey Club is the smartest rate hack on the Strip. It’s a condominium-style property inside the Cosmopolitan complex, sharing that 9.7 location score (highest in the list) but without the Cosmo’s $45+ resort fee. No gambling, no smoke, just large apartment-style units with kitchens. The 9.1 rating and 9.4 value score confirm it: this is the best rate-to-experience ratio in the entire line-up.

What You Actually Get

Every unit comes with a full kitchen (stove, microwave, fridge) so you can eat breakfast on your own schedule. The outdoor pool and hot tub are clean and quiet. Free parking is available in the Cosmopolitan parking garage on Level 3B – just a short walk. Free WiFi scores 8.6. Laundry facilities mean you can pack light. The 9.4 value score signals that guests consistently feel they got more than they paid for. Guests under 18 are charged as adults, so plan accordingly for family bookings.

Choose this if: You want a central Strip location, a kitchen, and no daily resort fee eating into your budget.

10. Oasis at Gold Spike

The Vibe

Gold Spike is an adults-only (21+) property a 3-minute walk from Fremont Street. It’s loud, it’s playful, and it’s unapologetically for adults who want to party without kids underfoot. The 8.6 staff score is a strong signal that the service keeps up with the energy.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is included (outdoor lot). The outdoor pool is open seasonally. The on-site “adult playground” with games and activities is a guest favourite. Rooms are clean (8.0) and comfortable (8.1) but basic. The 21+ policy means no children – a feature, not a bug, for the target audience. The $22.60 daily resort fee is moderate. No smoking is allowed in the property, including rooms. Upper floors are accessible by elevator. The 8.2 value score suggests the price matches the experience.

Choose this if: You’re 21+ and want a Downtown party base with free parking and zero kids.

11. Arizona Charlie’s Decatur

The Vibe

Arizona Charlie’s is a locals’ casino hotel – not on the Strip, but offering the lowest rates in this list. It’s for travellers who need a bed near the Strip without paying for the address. The 7.9 location score reflects its off-Strip, but central Las Vegas position.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is standard. The outdoor pool is open seasonally. On-site dining covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Free WiFi scores 7.5 – adequate. The 7.7 value score suggests the price matches the no-frills offering. Guests must be 21+ to occupy a room. Only valid credit cards accepted – no gift or prepaid cards. It’s a bed, a casino, and a meal – nothing more, nothing less.

Choose this if: Your budget is tight and you just need a clean room with free parking.

12. Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino

The Vibe

Westgate is a classic Vegas resort with a retro feel and direct Monorail access to the Strip. It’s a favourite for convention attendees (connected to the Convention Center) and pet owners who need a quality property that accepts dogs. The 8.4 staff score is among the best in the list.

What You Actually Get

Pet policy allows up to 2 dogs with a combined weight under 60 lbs – a $150 non-refundable cleaning fee applies. On-site dining runs from breakfast to dinner. Free WiFi scores 8.1. The concierge level includes a full hot breakfast, snacks, and nightly cocktails – book this if the premium is small. Parking is on-site (fees apply). The Monorail station connects directly to the hotel, so you’re 5 minutes from the Strip without the Strip pricing. The Las Vegas Loop station is also nearby.

Choose this if: You’re travelling with a dog and need convenient Strip access via Monorail.

13. Hilton Vacation Club Desert Retreat Las Vegas

The Vibe

This Hilton time-share property is the highest-rated hotel in the list at 9.3, and it’s not even on the Strip. It’s a quiet, residential-style resort with full kitchens, on-site laundry, and a 10-minute drive to the Strip. Perfect for extended stays and families who want to cook and wash clothes on their own schedule.

What You Actually Get

Full kitchen with cooktop, microwave, and fridge – plus a washer and dryer in the unit. Two outdoor pools (open 10am-6pm daily). Free parking is included. Free WiFi scores 8.3. The 9.4 score across staff, facilities, cleanliness, comfort, and value is almost unheard of in this tier. Check-in is 4 PM; early check-in depends on availability. No daily maid service is provided. Guests under 21 need a parent or guardian. The location score (9.0) is high for an off-Strip property, suggesting proximity to shopping and dining.

Choose this if: You’re staying 3+ nights and want the ability to cook, wash, and relax without the Strip chaos.

14. Longhorn Boulder Highway

The Vibe

Longhorn is a 2-star property with a loyal following – the data notes it has more repeat guests than most other hotels on this list. It’s a locals casino in the Boulder Highway corridor, serving a crowd that prioritises value and familiarity over amenities. The 7.7 rating for a 2-star is impressive.

What You Actually Get

Free parking is included. The outdoor pool and hot tub are open seasonally. On-site restaurant dining with food coupons at check-in. Pet-friendly (dogs up to 60 lbs).

Choose this if: You need fast internet on a tight budget and value a loyal customer experience.

15. Downtowner Boutique Hotel

The Vibe

The Downtowner is a retro-themed boutique hotel within walking distance of Fremont Street. It’s quirky – mini golf, a garden, and a pool – but the 7.5 rating suggests the charm is a bit worn. The 8.5 WiFi score is a solid draw for digital nomads who want a Downtown base.
