If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel, your choices are not limited to downtown Las Vegas. There are quite a few affordable hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, with the lowest rates being Monday through Thursday nights in general. Some of these hotels are located in the middle of the Strip, others are located at the end, with a longer walk if you want to enjoy visiting hotels at the opposite end of the Strip.
Three different room choices await you, with the upper-end selections offering the best views of the strip, but the ones without Las Vegas Strip views are under $100 most nights, as of September 2010. Each room gives you a choice between one king bed or two queen beds and features a 42-inch flat-screen television. Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon was previously known as the Barbary Coast. While it does not have its own pool, guests can use the pool at the neighboring Flamingo for free. Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon is located directly across the Las Vegas Strip from Caesar's Palace.
