Circus Circus $23.95 per night (end of strip)

Las Vegas Club $24.95 per night (downtown)

circus circus is madd far away, yo. so you would lose maybe an average of 20 minutes each way waiting for and riding on a bus. (bus is $2 each way or $5 for 24hours.) that same bus runs up to downtown/binions/elcortez area. if you stay at wild wild west, you gonna get stabbed. plus youd have to bus to the strip anyway, unless you want to walk, but if you walk during the day, you gonna get sunburned and exhausted, and if you walk at night, again, you gonna get stabbed.

Casino Royale on the Strip

Yep, pretty decent too. I'm looking at going in September and the rates there are $46 plus tax per night(Sunday-Thursday) on Travelworm. You can't beat that rate at that prime location.

Anyone know of the cheapest rooms in Vegas on or close to the Strip? Is there a website, like expedia, that would be best to go through?

In addition to my post on Casino Royal above, check out the Sahara on sites like Travelworm and Vegas.com. They typically run in the lower 40's per night(Sunday-Thursday) and there is a monorail stop there which makes it really convenient.

I found these articles to be pretty funny

"Death of the $16 room at the Western

The Western is my favorite casino in the whole world. Why? Because it's CHEAP! And it's DANGEROUS! You can't have one without the other. And you've got to expect that when you have $1 blackjack and $0.25 roulette in an unclean, stinky building with blazing fluorescent lighting in the middle of a crack neighborhood that it's not gonna be Utopia. Two guys tailed me out of there when I left one night, probably trying to nab the $67 they saw me win. Fortunately I noticed them and got back into a public area before anything bad happened.

For years, my favorite deal was the $16 room at The Western (downtown), the sleaziest and most dangerous casino in all of Vegas. I took advantege of a $16 room there as late as 2001. It was $16 even on the weekends! However, by 2007 the price has gone up to $35/night weekday and $55/night weekends. The Western's sister casino in sleaze, the Gold Spike, has the same rates. (Last verified: Jan. 2007)

Obviously you don't get luxury even at the new improved rates, but if you just need a place to sleep, and you're not easily intimidated by shady characters, this is it. The Western redefines sleaze. But that's one of the reasons we find it so charming. When in Vegas we've never missed an opportunity to play $1 blackjack in a dump that's the exact opposite of Bellagio. Here's the hilarity that ensued when we tried to make a reservation by phon. We enjoyed the humorous writeup about The Western in Las Vegas on $19 a day."

The Gold Spike, $25-30
400 E. Ogden, 800-634-6703

If dangerous thrills aren't your idea of a good time, then you might like the Western's sister casino, the Gold Spike. The rooms there are pricier -- $25 week nights and $30 on the weekends -- but what do you expect in exchange for not having to politely decline the opportunity to buy large quantities of narcotics as you walk to your hotel? I don't like this place as much because the casino is a lot smaller, it's dimly lit (compared to the Western's blazing fluorescents), and it's not as dangerous.

A friend has a funny story about the Western. He doesn't want to be identified so let's just say his initials are W.I.Z. He had a coupon for a free breakfast at the Gold Spike which he wasn't planning on using. As he was walking out the door a homeless guy asked him for money to get something to eat, so W. offered him the coupon. The homeless guy looked at it and said, "Forget it, I ain't *that* hungry."
