Re: Vegas for New Years- three last minute hotel choices
If you don't care about quality of accomodations, Casino Royale was the cheapest I found. It is mid strip between Venetian and Harrahs. Room quality is like a motel 6.

[/ QUOTE ] That sucks. I've had very good luck using tripres the few times I've used it. I've also called hotels asking for a rate. When they give it to me I say "Thanks, but I've found it lower elsewhere" and sometimes they'll match it.

That makes me like em.

I think I paid $109 a night for the weekend and New Years Eve(Monday). Room quality is like the Motel 6, (it used to be a Travelodge) but cleanliness can vary greatly by room. That said, here is my take on the place: Cons: * The drinks come out in 8oz glasses; * The waitresses range from 2's - 5's; * Don't expect to sleep until 5am if noise bothers you; Pros: * You can't beat the price for the location; * You will have a new drink in front of you every 4-6 minutes; * Blackjack Switch w/$5 Min bet.

Guess it's not TripRes' amazing ability to find great rates that has it being the only online deal site with rates at tons of strip hotels.

The location is orgasmatic.

Palace Station, then Harrah's. It came down to a view-room at Harrah's or a standard at Bally's, and I found pretty good reviews of the "Luxury View" at Harrah's, and it was cheaper, so I went with that.

Re: Vegas for New Years- three last minute hotel choices
I've stayed there countless times and while noise bothers me I never had a problem sleeping here. Just make SURE to unplug the phone. The maid will call your room even though you have the do not disturb sign up!
