What's your favorite cheap hotel in Las Vegas?

I just stood at the Rio last weekend and asked for the remodeled room and Man let me tell you I was impressed. I was happy with my stay nice clean. It felt brand new. Give them a chance.

I have a huge soft spot for the Strat, I got married at the top, and have stayed there many times. Rooms are clean and decent. BUT- I tried to go last summer and gamble there and when I was told it was $20 to park, I left. I absolutely refuse to pay to park at a place I am about to gamble at.

Jacob always the most informative source on all things Vegas

If you're staying on Fremont Street or at the El Cortez and you like sushi, you HAVE TO check out the Sushi Ichiban place!! The best sushi I've had in Vegas for $30 all-you-can-eat and they fly the fish in from Long Beach daily. Couldn't believe how fresh it was for an extremely reasonable price

Always stay at the Strat as it has renovated rooms for dirt cheap and i love the restaurants and gaming floor ,....might not be the best location but it great if your looking for something right in between DT and not far from the main Strip ..

Unpopular opinion, but my daughter loves Circus Circus, we have been going every August for her birthday since she was 7 (except 2020). We have never had an issue. We always had a clean room and as she says, we never are really in the room because we are always out doing things. Staff there have always been nice to us. She loves the entrance and its lights!

as far as cheap hotels, Exalibur is where its at. that is if you are a member of their player's club. free rooms and they waive the resort fee even for low-rollers.

The Rio and Sahara are the 2 casinos as a local that I go to. The Rio is getting better day by day.

Just stayed at Tuscany Suites for 5 nights, in part from some of your previous videos. Amazing property and amenities. Very relaxed atmosphere. We aren't big gamblers but ended up with a heap of comp dollars to spend on property so free breakfasts every day was a real bonus. Also, being able to walk next door to Ellis Island was great. Only a 5 minute walk to the Horseshoe from our building, which was handy to jump on the monorail. We walked the area day and night and felt completely safe.

We stayed at the Flamingo and for the price and location found it to be great. Good to see Rio being updated!!!

Thank you Jacob. This is very helpful.

Your presentations on Vegas are excellent and informative making one think of many overlooked happenings

You are always so informative. Thanks

Awesome info! I'll be in Vegas next week but probably won't make it to these properties (mostly booked up with work related/conference things around MGM Grand). I'm happy to hear that they are bringing the Rio back to life. Rio was pretty nice back in '95 when I first went. Great videos.

Just ran into you at Bellagio! Thanks for your recommendations and updates! Cheers from Chicago! 💚💚

Thanks Jacob!

Well done. I have never stayed at any of these places but I have played at most of them. I have never been to Rio but I think I will next month. Good video, well done.

Thank you, Jacob❤

Thank you Jacob . I had to postpone my trip last fall . Was planning to stay at the Horseshoe . I look forward to your reviews be it hotels or restaurants .

Great video Jacob. Keep on keeping on brother

My favorite WAS Tropicana but I had to stay there in a group thing 2 times. It was fine. I have stayed at Treasure Island and the price and experience was good. I'm a Paris and Planer Hollywood guy now because I'm in Caesars and their location and options for fun, dining, and getting on strip. Although previous stays included Mirage and Wynn. I may try Flamingo renovated room in future. Looks fun there. I like a little riff raff to be honest. Great video by the way! Always watch anything you put out.

I have a Planet Hollywood booking on the strip later in the year for 4 nights for a total of $360. That includes all the fees and is a City View Ultra Hip room. It's costing us more in resort fees than the total cost of the 4 night room price..

I love your videos. This was a very informative video. Lots of choices and decisions to make. Thank you.

Just came back from Vegas what a place definitely coming back soon

Like the info n we use. Cheaper the better in las vegas is always good for my wife myself n for my family.we enjoy las vegas n is always different when we go on yearly vacation.👍

verry informative 👌👍good video

Another informative video from Jacob. I don't think anyone can beat his videos. He has about done it all. :) Question Jacob, why, after 1000's of extra gambling area openings have occurred in the U.S. does Las Vegas remained so popular? It's a bit puzzling to me just because of parking and resort fees alone are so high. Maybe it has to do with more choices of things to do in Las Vegas.

great advice here thanks big fella

Good list, Jacob! Another nice thing about the Flamingo is that the Linq Prominade is just out the door. Lots of food and entertainment options there. The downside is that you will probably smell pot in the hallways. This may not be a downside to everyone.

Very informative, thank you!!

I was shocked at how nice the starts casino floor looked, granted we only got a brief look at it but still that looks way nicer than I was expecting.

Staying at the RIO next week looking forward to it

Good list, especially since you included El Cortez, Sahara and Tuscany which get little discussion That El Cortez airline promo is great. Had no idea about the other offerings at both El Cortez and Sahara. Awesome info!

I stayed @ The Tuscany shortly after it opened, 20+ years ago, and it was great!!!

Rio is definitely making strides and coming along nicely. I stayed in the the 1600 sq ft Masquerade Suite in August 23 just in the last days of it being operated by Caesars and it was very clear that they weren’t interested with upkeep. They were however doing the exterior painting and starting on the lights. I’d say give them a chance now going forward

Good video, Jacob. I just booked El Cortez for May 5.

👍The Strat is still the best value property, ie bangs for bucks, that I've stayed in on/near the Strip in 25+ years - maybe I was just lucky and the check-in lady took pity on me (I was with the ex...). The only downside was that it was definitely NOT safe to walk back to late at night.

I stayed at Tuscany Suites when I was younger and honestly had a great time at the property. We went dancing or listened to live music each night, the food was wonderful, the pool (although small) was great. The only down side was the walk back to the hotel at night from the strip. It was a little uncomfortable, but nothing an Uber or Lyft won’t fix (we were college kids on a strict budget back then, haha).

Jacob is the best tour guide ever❤😊

Just came back from a one week stay at the Holiday Inn Vacations Club at Koval Ln, perfect for a group of 6 if you don´t need a Casino on property. Easy 5 minute walk to the Linq Promenade.

I stayed at the Flamingo for a few days last month, the renovated Go rooms are really nice. Would stay there again.

I agree with this list. I've stayed at all but 2 of them. The ones that charge the daily parking fee i add that to the price, so some aren't under $100. Jacob definitely has a leg day, those calves looking good❤

Has anyone ever been to Vegas and actually seen Jacob filming or doing his thing and said hi to him?? That's on my bucket list ❤

Damn Jacob love that thumbnail picture. I def gotta use that as my new oh face 😮

Good list

you covered my favorite El Cortez by a mile I already knew about its old school stuff that they still do and really is a good experience... seagulls 1941 is legit 24 hour pizza on the weekends

The sushi place across from the El Cortez is for real. El Cortez has a neat barber shop up the stairs. The old penthouse is occasionally available at the normal room rate. It's huge but you've got to walk up the stairs to the 3rd floor.

Linq is my go to cheap spot

Thanks

I always stayed at The Strat/Stratosphere. I just enjoyed the location. And would take the Deuce if I wanted to go to the Strip or Downtown.

I was in Vegas at the end of January, and the Excalibur was a pretty good value. I know it's old, but the room was clean and the price was right.

Resorts World has some really good deals Sunday through Thursday. My pick for cheap hotel.

Oh wow I didn't realize Sahara had that circus style outdoor sports screens that's freaking awesome

Nice job bro😊

Thanks for the update Jacob. Now, if the casino's would only get rid of those rip-off resort fees.

Jacob you are always Mr. INFO always making it simple for everyone ( JUST THE BEST )

I am Jacob this is my life in Vegas .. been hearing that for years now 😎

I used to frequent Vegas from 2001-2013. I stayed in most of these hotels (old Sahara). I’m surprised Circus Circus wasn’t on here (unless they’re gone now).

I booked a room at the flamingo on a weekday for 8 dollars!😊

The el Cortez is my fav !! Only draw back .. no pool

Great video Jacob, and thanks for the news 😊

If you just want a cheap place to sleep on the strip, and you have a car or don't mind Ubering quite a bit, The Strat is not that bad. Their steakhouse (Top of the World) is pretty cool too.

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been BOYCOTTING VEGAS for the last 10 years because of how expensive it has become. I haven't won in Vegas in 12 years. Reno on the other hand is my favorite place to gamble, but I am getting bored of it and want to give Vegas another shot. I almost went in 2023 until I saw the UNBELIEVABLE hotel prices, one place wanted $1,200 a night YIKES! Your list is amazing and YOU TELL WHAT THE TABLE GAME LIMITS ARE which is exactly what I'm looking for I'm a proud low roller, and live for Free Play and comped rooms. Paying for parking was UNHEARD OF 14 YEARS AGO!

Thank you, Mr. J for the video and Vegas bring back buffets themed hotels,, unlimited free parking and no stinking resort fees the way it used to be!

Great video thanks. I will be going to las vegas in August from new York.

Have you done a room review of Planet Hollywood? I cant seem to find a video from you on that property. Myself and my lartner are staing there later in the year, it'd be good to hear your thoughts of the property. Thank you 🙂

I love the Strat! It's the first property I stayed at in Vegas and I make it a point to stop in each time I visit the strip. Definitely underrated.

10-15 years ago you could get top quality hotels for a great price, now almost everywhere is expensive on the strip once you add in stealth add ons like the ridiculous resort fees. Sadly can't see that changing until demand drops which feels inevitable over the coming years given how expensive Vegas has become.

For me it’s hard to beat El Cortez and the D Downtown. On the strip. Flamingo amd Treasure Island is my top 2 for affordable places.

I don’t like gambling but I like these videos,keep up the good work jacob.

Hello jacob im new in your channel. Just wanna ask if which will you recommend if im with my wife and 2 yrs old daughter. Thanks!

Booked my handyman a room at the Strat once and he had his work truck and tools stolen. Now, I also pay attention to the parking lots/structure. I wonder if paid parking (Circa) or 4 hours free (Fontainebleau) deters car thefts and breakins.

Great video Jacob! Isn't Tuscany Suites a swinger hotel?

Jacob I Have an idea for ya as a video You should go to the barcode and do the bfb challenge LOL

You mentioned the long lines at Tuscany Suites to check in. Are there also long lines to check out?

some of the Rio rooms are pretty darn big for the price too

The Strat have beds with no bug cover over them. I saw one Strat employee walk past me with a bug spray can, which I’m assuming is for bed bugs.

Headed to Vegas in August. Planning to visit different hotels so this is perfect

Jacob, I will be in Vegas in September for my 50th birthday. Hopefully I will see you and Laci when I am out there.

I have built up well over 3 million MyVegas points, so my favorite “cheap” hotel is…Bellagio/Aria/Vdara/Mandalay/ParkMGM (whichever one will accept my “2 night for 150,000 point” voucher) because they’re, well, Free (well, if you pay the $50/night resort property)…Haven’t actually PAID for a room night since 2015 (twelve trips using vouchers)😊

It's kind of telling how only 1 Caesars (and NO MGM Properties) made the cut!

Staying at the flamingo in May

Does the Rio have a shuttle to and from the strip? Asking for a friend.

The Strat is fine and it’s easy to get to and around from there, it’s very close to downtown and the Arts District in addition to the deck, restaurants and rides at the top which are amazing.

I found hair in my bed just from watching this vid lol. All jokes aside I was in Vegas for the Rock and Roll marathon last and some of these picks are looking even more rough from what I remembered. RIP Tropicana.

1:30 nice

I stayed at the Strat several years ago and my room had bedbugs. No matter how good the reviews are now, I'll never go back.

at like 7:15 you looked like a giant walking through that hallway what ? lol

Did Jacob bump his head on a sprinkler head at the El Cortez? That was close!

Going to be in Vegas in less than a month Hope to see you around

Staying at Apache in Freemont soon. Not on the list 😞

Tuscany is great, but it isn't cheap. Like nearly everywhere else, the resort fees are ridiculous.

Hey Jacob there 😁 s another youtuber linking jer videos to yours so wjen a notification shows jacob yours but when you play it its another youtuber. Shes is talking about the largest pizza in vegas. I thought it was yours. Kust letting you know. Thx

My thing about the rio is that Ceasar’s should have kept it. I love their low prices. Ceasar should remodeled it on their own.

I’ve stayed at all these! Does that make me cheap? 😂

great f*ckinvid bro. thx

None are "cheap". The room rate may be cheap, but once you add in resort fees and taxes it's no longer cheap. That being said, sometimes if you stay at the hotels that do NOT have Casino's attached, you can get a better deal and maybe avoid the resort fee (not all hotels charge this, but all hotels that have a casino do). But to be honest, my new thing is to stay in a nearby town like Henderson and just drive in and park as it can be cheaper since those hotels out that way are not near the strip and may not be subject to resort fees which can be $35 to $60 that I've seen. Not to mention sometimes it's a PITA to get checked into some of the more popular "cheap" hotels along the strip area. Like once I was going to stay at the Rio, which was going to be $80 with taxes and fees, but check-in line was going to be 5 hours and I arrived at 10pm at night. Needless to say I stayed somewhere else and just took at hit on the $80 I prepaid. So be careful and I would NOT stay at any of the big resorts unless you get there early and can get checked in rather quickly (most start lines for check-in around 2:30 or 3pm).

I would stay at the Strat but due to the location it’s a no. My fav cheap hotel is Linq or Harrah’s

Jacob does not skip leg day!
