We paid $41 for a suite that would go for about $200 on a busier weekend. Like all things in Vegas you get a lot of style for your money. Though as lovely as the hotel was it didn't have the glitz and glamour as some of the more upscale hotels such as the Bellagio but we'd paid $300-400 a room for that luxury so for 10% for 80% of the style well this couponista will take that bargain any day.
Service was great for the price not excellent but personalized. When we checked out they knew what room we were in and they had our car out front without asking. Though the entire city was deserted so we may have simply been the last guest scheduled to check out that day.
The room was almost exactly what was pictured on the website and we had a suite that stepped right out onto the pool area. Pity it was freezing!
To save money and time we drove ( yes driving from LA is quicker than flying nowadays ) plus when you have your own car in Vegas you save big bucks on taxis. Valet is always free and you just have to tip $1-2. Having your car out front already buys the valet a nice $5. If you lose your valet ticket and they find your car for you anything less than $10 is being cheap and mean. One thing we NEVER skimp on its tips. These are your fellow human beings here trying to make money to take care of their families. Don't be a jackhole and stiff them just because you think shouldn't have to pay.
Another thing I don't skimp on is food but again that doesn't mean you can't save. I love a good buffet and my 3 favorites are the Bellagio, The Rio and The Wynn. The Wynn buffet can run you $36 a person at night but during lunch is about half that at $18-20.
If you like to play the slots make sure to join the casinos slot club. Usually they'll give you a few bucks to play with. You can stretch that into an hour of entertainment. Grab a free cocktail ( don't forget to tip!) and your on your way to a good time. Don't forget to quit while your ahead
