Cheap Downtown Hotels are one of the places to look from for place to stay in when you are on a trip. In many different countries, downtown is the best place to find the best deals, be it in food, clothing and hotels. If you are a frequent visitor to the great city of Las Vegas, people usually had two options, the strip or downtown. To answer this underlying question you will have to find out about your reason of going to Las Vegas, and how much do you intend to shed. Let's look at the differences between the strip and downtown.



If you love to be a sightseer then staying on the Strip is something you shouldn't miss. The strip is actually Las Vegas Boulevard and is one of the most famous streets. First that will come into view is the Mandalay Bay and you will pass through about thirty casinos later and you will see the Stratosphere. So, if you're looking for the newest, most opulent casinos, the strip is the right place for you. There are cheap hotels for every budget and you will be in a very short distance from the new casinos, which is considered a perfect attraction as well. You can also find here the world-class shopping centers with stores from all over the world.

The gambling area on the strip can be a little expensive, if you want to experience and play table games, the minimum bets are higher than in downtown, but if you want to play the slot machines and video pokers same rates apply. The restaurants on the strip are world class and you can find all the best cuisines you desire. A buffet is also served in just about every casino and some of the restaurants are perfectly outstanding.

The downtown area of Las Vegas on the other hand, is comprised of twelve casinos that are clustered together; you can even have a "casino-hopping" spree. Downtown is considered as the old school Vegas where you can encounter different types of people, the budget minded and the serious gambler. The table limits are lower and there are wide variety of slot machines and video poker.

The hotels range from fine to great. The Golden Nugget is considered the most opulent casino downtown. Every night you can go outside the casinos and look up and see a light show called the Freemont Street experience. This made the connection with most of the downtown casinos. On the other hand, if you want to relax, then downtown may be the place for you. It will all be your option, if you do want to see the casinos, or catch a glimpse of a show on the strip then it would be a cab ride away.

The bottom line is no matter where you are it is always best to find cheap downtown hotels that will cater to your needs.
