The Tropicana Resort & Casino is shown in Las Vegas. It’s one of the 49 casinos that have rooms going for under $40 this year.
The holiday season is prime time for finding a low room rate in Las Vegas, and this year is no exception.
Last week the researchers at the Las Vegas Advisor canvassed every casino in town, looking for the best leads on lodging in December. The rates below were available either by consulting casino websites, using third-party reservations facilities or the reservation codes on LasVegasAdvisor.com. Even if you don’t use the internet, the list serves as a guide to potential low rates you can secure by phone.
Rates are higher during the National Finals Rodeo, which runs through Dec. 15. The deepest discounts will be available Dec. 16-24.
