Two years ago, I went to Vegas with some friends. They made all the reservations. (Red light - never let someone else make your reservations.) Little did I know that it would be so expensive. We stayed at Ceasar's Palace - and it was $400/night, for a room no better than one at Motel Six. At least at Motel 6, you would have a coffee pot in your room. Not at Ceasar's Palace. You had to order coffee from room service - with tip - $20 a pot. No hair dryers, either - but you could order one from room service for $20/day.
Housekeeping 'forgot' to make the bed and leave clean towels, the second night there - and I have told everybody I know to avoid that place like the plague. It was the worst (and most expensive) vacation I have ever gone on.
I have heard that some of the smaller hotels on the outskirts of town are very inexpensive, and offer excellent service. Might be worth looking into.
Thank you for the link to the fountains, Yorkie. It was beautiful
We’ve stayed at the large hotels but we would not pay $400/night. I don’t think we ever stayed at Caesar’s Palace. I know the prices have skyrocketted.
If our son does the driving, we will need a two bedroom family suite. We prefer the Residence Inn but I don’t know whether they have any in Vegas.
