Dirt Cheap Hotels in Las Vegas

Bargain Price

• One of the mega-casinos operated by MGM Resorts, Circus Circus brought three-ring entertainment to Las Vegas long before Cirque du Soleil came to town. In the winter of 2010-11, double rooms were going for as little as $33 per night, according to Hotels.com. Even at double that price, however, Circus Circus delivers a lot of bang for the buck.

Budget Landmark

• The Sahara Hotel & Casino is one of the few remaining shrines to the Las Vegas of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Its convenience to the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Strip make it a bargain with some practical benefits. Among its unique attractions is the NASCAR Café Las Vegas Entertainment Center.

Apartment Living

• Located just a half mile from the Las Vegas Strip, Budget Suites of America features furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments, for $179 and $259 per week, respectively. You must bring your own sheets and cooking utensils. But even with that slight inconvenience, the property delivers value that's hard to beat.
