Hotels

The Las Vegas Strip is jammed with most of the world’s largest hotels and that’s where most people want to stay in Las Vegas. That’s where most of the fun can be had, but prices on the Strip tend to be high and there are some interesting places off the Strip and Downtown as well.

Package Deals

Often you can get great deals by combining a cheap flight with a cheap hotel. This isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely worth checking on the prices of these deals so you can compare the prices of booking individually if you normally do it that way.

Car Rental

Renting a car in Las Vegas can be a great idea or a terrible idea depending on your goals. This city is actually quite easy to enjoy without renting a car if you just want to see different places on the Strip and take a peak at Downtown. But if you want to get out of the main hotel area and see some of the desert scenery not far away, renting a car can be totally worthwhile.

Spring Break

In recent years Las Vegas has become a big Spring Break destination for students and others. It’s true that people need to be at least 21-years-old to gamble, but you don’t need to be 21 to hang out at the excellent pools and have parties in the rooms and other places on the Strip, so those weeks tend to get crowded here.
