A good deal, but they don't fly to/from Vegas every day of the week. Plus a 3+ hour drive to the airport doesn't appeal to me.

I'm in Topeka, fwiw. A hair over 2 hours, if that.

As seeing how this trip is over a year away, potentially. As far as what days we're there we are both completely flexible.

I went to Vegas last September. Stayed at Mandalay Bay for free. I don't need that this time -- nothing AS nice.

Just been thinking about Vegas the past 3-4 months. It's all I can think about and last time I was there I really didn't do a whole lot because my friends were there for a work convention.

What is your budget like?

If you are looking to stay downtown, Priceline is the way to go. The Golden Nugget is the only 4-star property there, so if your bid is accepted, then you are getting the GN. Like I said, I got 3 nights at $65 per night. So $195 total pre tax/fees where it would normally cost $277.

That's kind of up in the air.

Right now -- I've gotten quotes from Allegiant Air (I know prices fluctuate) for around $220 round trip. I'm thinking I'll book the flight and hotel seperately.

I'd prefer to stay on the new strip as opposed to the old strip. However, depending on the prices, I wouldn't rule out staying in the old strip.

I hear that. I've been to Vegas like 15 times and never stayed downtown.

I stayed on the strip the first two times. Went downtown for the third, and haven't stayed on the strip since. Am flying out in the AM for probably the 13th or 14th time (somewhere in that vicinity).
I always end up going TO the strip at least once to walk up/down, but prefer to play and stay downtown.

You might find some useful data here. Or not.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I have players cards at most of the casinos but never spent much time downtown, so don't really get any great deals there. The Nugget was the only place I really wanted to stay, so I was thrilled to get it at that price.

Cool. Fremont is old but it's nice to be in that pace some times.You staying in the new tower at the Nugget? I hear it's nice. We stay in the old section so we can kick up a cigarette if we want to.

At that price, I'm sure it's the old (Carson) tower. The Rush tower is quite a bit more expensive. I usually ask for a free upgrade where ever we stay though, so you never know.

That's great. Thanks for the tip. Looks like I will be busy the next couple of days registering on casino websites.

From the guys who have stayed on the new strip...

What hotel or hotels are generally the least expensive to stay at?

There really isn't a new strip/old strip. I assume you mean the Strip vs. Downtown.

Stay away from the Riviera, Circus Circus and the Stratosphere (North Strip). They may be quite a bit cheaper options, but there isn't much within walking distance from those properties.

On the south part of the strip, Harrah's and Flamingo are probably your cheapest options. Maybe Bill's Gambling Hall too.
