With so many hotels catering specifically to tourists, Las Vegas is bound to have discount 4-star hotels, right? Right. Some of the City of Sin's most famous AAA accredited 4 star hotels offer discounted rates. According to AAA, you can expect "...an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail," as well as a great Vegas location.
The Golden Nugget Hotel in downtown Vegas offers discounted rooms beginning at around $42 depending on the day of the week and season (as of September 2010). This classic hotel lies adjacent to one of downtown's most popular attractions, the Freemont Street Experience. The hotel's pool area allows guests to relax with a drink at a poolside cabana or swim with the fishes, literally. Guests glide down a three-story clear tube waterslide, through a shark tank and into the outdoor swimming pool. The eight on-site restaurants offer something for everyone with choices ranging from a buffet to sushi to classic American treats. The over 2,000 guest rooms have a contemporary appearance and feature modern amenities.
