Las Vegas hotel rates hit rock bottom

[DainBramaged]

Get to Vegas before Christmas for a big present: rock-bottom rates.
The Las Vegas Advisor says the best deals are from Sunday to Dec. 24. In its annual December rate roundup, the Advisor found 43 Las Vegas casino hotels with rooms for less than $40, vs. 38 last December. Among them are Strip properties such as Bally's, Excalibur and Harrah's.

The total below $30 was 27, two more than 2008. They include Arizona Charlie's Boulder; Binion's (its hotel closes for an indefinite period Monday); Boulder Station; Circus Circus, El Cortez; Ellis Island Super 8; Fiesta Henderson; Fitzgeralds; Four Queens; Imperial Palace; Lucky Club Ramada; Plaza; Riviera; Sahara; Sam's Town; Santa Fe Station; Stratosphere; Tropicana; Tuscany; Vegas Club.

A whopping seven casinos had rates below $20, vs. one in 2008. Texas Station came in lowest ($14.99). Others in the under-$20 club: Fiesta Rancho; Gold Spike; Golden Gate; Hooters; Palace Station; Wild Wild West.

Other good December deals found included Luxor ($40), Las Vegas Hilton ($41), Monte Carlo ($46), Hard Rock ($47), New York-New York ($48), Rio ($49), Paris ($55), Palms ($59), TI ($60), Planet Hollywood ($68), MGM Grand ($70).

1. I was under the mistaken impression that Circus Circus had folded

I'd like to go there just to revisit the rotating bar, which was made infamous in Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

"How much do they pay you to screw that bear?"

:rofl:

2. I used to love seeing The Dead in Vegas and staying at Circus Circus.

My favorite time was three days of Steve Miller opening up for the Dead.

There was much sunshine, much nudity, much love, and much happy happy joy joy

Some people call me the gangster of love.....

5. I'm going to Vegas in October 2010!

I've already booked a smoke-free hotel room AWAY from the strip BUT, IF I could get a bargain deal AND a GUARANTEED NON-SMOKING room in one of those Strip hotels, I'd go for one of those! :D
