Cheap hotels in Las Vegas seem like a thing of the past, because the big four and five star casinos get all the press, but you can still find cheap hotels in Las Vegas by searching the Internet or calling your travel agent. The Tropicana, once a great place to stay, is an older hotel now, and currently they are advertising a $39 per night stay, which nowadays, is a bargain rate for a Las Vegas hotel. You can also get great Las Vegas deals that will cut the price of these hotels way down.
With all that money you save by staying in cheap Las Vegas hotels, you can spend it on more gambling which may in turn pay off for you. I had a friend who went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago and he won $1400 in a Las Vegas casino, which is hardly chump change, and he used a bit of it to buy himself and his friend a fine dinner at one of the really nice resort hotels there. Driving or flying to Las Vegas is not nearly as cheap as it used to be, so maybe you can hunt down a decent discount on lodging that will make this popular vacation spot more affordable for your next visit.
