Las Vegas-NV Hotels

Claimed as the 'Entertainment Capital of the World', Las Vegas offers ample accommodation options. Different accommodation types available in Las Vegas are hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast inns (B&Bs), serviced apartments, holiday flats, motels and hostels.

In Las Vegas parlance, the words hotel and casino are interchangeable. Hence, as a matter of fact, most hotels and other sleeping establishments in Las Vegas do not allow visitors under the age of 21 to reserve a room due to on-site gambling.

Las Vegas is characteristic of two extremely different types of hotels, casino hotels and mainstream hotels (without gambling). The casino hotels are comparatively larger, offer a wider range of services, and have longer opening hours or are open 24 hours. Mainstream hotels on the other hand, are ideal for those travelling with family.

Many of the largest hotels and resorts in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip mainly houses luxury options like casino hotels and upscale hotels. It is also the centre of the most expensive resort in the world, Wynn Las Vegas.

Off the Strip, options like boutique hotels, lodgings, vacation resorts, and business hotels are easily available. For mid-range hotels, tourists can head to the Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, while suburbs have budget hotels.

B&Bs are mainly available in Casa Sencia, Boulder City, Boulder Hwy, Blvd N, and Windmill Lane. Hostels are prevalent in Fremont Street as well as other areas to or near the north end of the Strip.

The peak season to visit Las Vegas is in the months of November (late autumn) and March (early spring) as the weather is pleasant. Besides, the winters are also mild in Las Vegas, and thus the city is frequented by many tourists during festivals like Christmas and New Year. Hence, the prices of hotels are usually sky-high during these seasons.

On the other hand, summers in Las Vegas are scorching due to its proximity to one of the hottest deserts in United States. In order to attract tourists during the summer months, hotels in Las Vegas offer huge discounts during summers.

In addition, majority of visitors travel to Las Vegas on Friday or Saturday nights. Hence, the room rates usually increase on weekends, but are relatively cheaper from Sunday to Thursday. During weekdays, visitors can not only save on hotel rates, but also benefit from package deals that usually include a show, meals and gambling coupons.
