Las Vegas Advisor: There are deals to be had on rooms for the holidays
The holiday season is normally prime time for finding low room rates in Las Vegas.
However, due to ongoing high demand, the pickings are slimmer than normal for the second year in a row. Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t deals to be had.
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 or using third-party reservations options. Rates are higher during the National Finals Rodeo, which runs through Dec. 12. All told, 21 casinos have rooms going for under $40 this year (base price; doesn’t include resort fees).
Here’s the lineup (rates change often and are not guaranteed):
Under $20 Club: None, the lowest rate was $22 at Circus Circus.
