Legendary Las Vegas Strip Hotels (for scoring a deal!)

When in Vegas, there’s no avoiding the Strip! With extravagant shows and buzzing casinos, South Las Vegas Boulevard is the electric spine of a legendary town that lives on chills, thrills and a perennial buzz.

And let’s not forget the hotels – slightly tacky and undeniably wacky. From oversized replicas of famous landmarks to over-the-top themes, there’s no mistake in spending a day or two hotel hopping on the Strip. Here are ten of the most iconic temples of entertainment — all at surprising prices (we’re talking under C$100/night) that undercut their neighbours!

The D Las Vegas

1/2

The spirit of vintage Vegas is alive and well at The D Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Amenities include over 42,000-square-feet of space to strike gold among 1000 slot machines and 22 table games, all decked out in a vintage theme. Dancing bartenders hustle up drinks and the boom of the Freemont Street Experience is at your door. The hotel and casino have moved into the modern era by accepting Bitcoins as payment for your accommodation or the gaming.

Fremont Hotel & Casino

1/2

With its vibe firmly cemented in Vegas’ swinging Sixties past, the Fremont Hotel & Casino is a solid choice for budget focused Sin City travellers.

Plaza Hotel & Casino

1/2

From videos for Pink Floyd, Lil Wayne and Iggy Azalea, to acting as the setting for nearly every important Las Vegas-themed movie including the Hangover Pt.3 and Casino, The Plaza is quintessential Vegas. A rooftop swimming pool invites guests to cool down in style and its great value sees many folks still favouring this hotel over more modern up-and-comers. Flashing bulbs and friendly service all the way from the front desk to the dealers make The Plaza the ultimate Vegas tradition on the cheap.

The Excalibur Hotel

1/2

Named after the mythical sword of King Arthur, the Excalibur embraces everything fabled and fantastical — just look at those castle spires! Medieval touches adorn the resort, including generously spacious rooms for the noble knights and maidens, lit up candles in rusty chandeliers, goblets placed on round tables, and cold stone walls throughout. The Camelot-like hotel even treats guests to a jousting tournament feast!

You want grand? Well you’ve got it. The MGM Grand is the third largest hotel in the world with 5,043 guest rooms. More than 70,000 people enter the doors every day and the hotel even has its own floral arrangement department! Situated on the south end of the Strip and fronted by a signature 45-foot bronze lion, there’s no chance you’ll miss this mammoth.

Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

1/2

If you’re seeking out star power and a chance to do some real celeb spotting, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is your natural choice. Two onsite celeb-frequented clubs, excellent dining and blackjack dealers dressed in skimpy lingerie make the property sparkle with appeal. Rooms are decked out in movie motifs inspired by Hollywood classics like Bonnie and Clyde and King Kong and some have views of the famous Bellagio fountain show. For the next couple of months, you can still catch Britney Spears’s performance show “Piece of Me” at Planet Hollywood’s AXIS with Jennifer Lopez lined up as the next star resident follows Brit’s departure in December.

Palms Casino Resort

1/2

If you’ve got a lust for luxury but find yourself on a tight budget, the Palms Casino Resort should be your Vegas hotel destination. For partiers, the rooftop GhostBar is the place to be seen on any night of the week and with celebrities often found sipping cocktails under the stars, it’s a great place to people watch. If you manage to win enough to splurge a bit, the Michelin- starred restaurant on site is the perfect location to dive into high-end dining.
