  • Dining in Vegas (3056) 2014-04-30

    Okay, so there must be hundreds of websites to tell you all about the same "Top Ten" restaurants in Las Vegas. And you know what? Those places have the Top Ten prices to match! Actually it's not...

It was initially built up in the early and mid-20th century as an adult entertainment center focused primarily at Los Angeles residents. Overtime it has attracted casino players from all over the world.

From Wild West frontier town to sprawling metropolis, Las Vegas spares no expense to develop casinos and hotels on a spectacular and often extreme scale with laser beams that are visible from space. All this comes at a cost and it is often difficult to find value for money when it comes to accommodation.

The famous Las Vegas strip is like a volcano eruption of world famous monuments such as replica medieval castles, a Sphinx, an Eiffel Tower and even a Statue of Liberty for the delight of visitors.

The profusion of neon-lit mega-hotels turns night into day. Darkened casino rooms are an escape from the hot desert sun, while the ringing slot machines call players to them from all over the world like mermaids luring sailors.

When to visit Las Vegas?
Las Vegas is located in the middle of the desert and has a dry and hot climate. The thermometer can reach 50°C in July and August, so maybe best avoided in the summer months. If you cannot stand the glaring sun try instead the heat of the casino tables. Trade shows, conventions and sporting events often cause hotel prices to skyrocket.

Find accommodation in Las Vegas without spending a fortune
If you wish to avoid spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars per night to stay in the likes of the Bellagio Hotel there are a number of budget solutions for finding quality accommodation often for a fraction of the price. Try:
