Las Vegas has a dizzying variety of
hotels it can be hard for the first-time
visitor to choose where to stay well in
this video I'm gonna be running down my
top five recommendations for Las Vegas
hotels in value is your primary
consideration I'm also gonna be sharing
with you some of the hotels that I would
recommend you do not stay in by the way
this video is part of my series on Las
Vegas if you want to see more videos
about Las Vegas including my top 5 best
luxury hotels on the Las Vegas Strip or
what's some of the best cheap each
destinations aren't well you'll find
links to those in the description or at
the end of this video number five is the
Luxor Hotel this hotel on December 23rd
room rates were $22 a night with a forty
dollar resort fee this 30 story Egyptian
pyramid themed hotel ranks number 128 on
TripAdvisor
it has 4,000 rooms one of the biggest in
Las Vegas and in addition to the pyramid
it also has rooms in two towers but I
think one of the great things about
staying in this hotel
is the Egyptian theming it's just a
really neat theme the hotel it's a bit
older but it doesn't feel as tired as
some of the really old center strip
hotels I definitely think you should get
one of the rooms in the pyramid because
one of the best parts about staying in
the pyramid is the rooms are shaped like
a pyramid right it's all glass walls and
they kind of incline and to get up to
your room you take an inclement which is
this elevator that doesn't go straight
up but it actually goes and inclines so
that's pretty neat and many of the rooms
that the Luxor received a renovation in
2014 the Luxor also has four large pools
a fitness center salon and a whole bunch
of restaurants and bars and the Luxor is
home to one of my favorite shows on the
Las Vegas Strip the Blue Man Group fun
for all ages I've stayed at Luxor a
couple times on trips to Las Vegas
though it's been a while but recent
reports from fellow yellow productions
explorers have said they enjoyed the
Luxor and felt it was a decent hotel for
the price the nice thing about the Luxor
they've got this a tram right here
that'll take you between the Mandalay
Bay and the Excalibur so helps you get
to the strip a little bit calm about the
Luxor it is kind of on the south part of
the strip there's not that much around
here so it does feel a little bit remove
the rest of the strip and yet the rooms
aren't swanky but we are talking about
best value not best luxury now if you're
not staying at the Luxor you just want
to explore it the best way to enter if
you come in off the Las Vegas Strip find
that obelisk right there and you can
walk up this ramp you actually go in
through the Sphinx that's pretty neat or
you could take the tram in from the
Excalibur the fourth best value hotel on
the Las Vegas Strip
is the Polo Towers Hotel I've found room
rates here for as low as $59 this hotel
ranks number 40 on TripAdvisor
it is located on the Las Vegas Strip
just across from the city center complex
tucked behind the hawaiian marketplace
center composed of two towers these are
apartment style rooms with kitchens or
kitchenettes you can get one two and
three-bedroom rooms pretty good deal the
basic studio rooms have Murphy beds and
kitchenettes one really nice perk of the
Polo Towers free parking which is kind
of a rarity on the Las Vegas Strip and
most people don't know that it's even
here which i think is why it's such a
good deal another similar option is the
jockey club
this one's across the street on Las
Vegas Boulevard tucked in between the
Bellagio and the cosmopolitan
it's another apartment style hotel great
if you want a ton of space though I will
say recent reports from the jockey club
indicate that the rooms can be a bit
tired the third best value hotel in the
Las Vegas Strip is the Paris Hotel and
Casino I found room rates here for $69
with a $42 resort fee so a hundred and
ten bucks
TripAdvisor ranks this hotel number 58
and this hotel just celebrated its 20th
anniversary and so with its 20th
anniversary actually has a new light
show on the Eiffel Tower but one of the
cool reasons to stay at the Paris is
definitely the theme I mean Paris is a
neat theme the Eiffel Tower is pretty
neat by the way this I felt our is half
the size of the original Eiffel Tower in
the actual Paris in the country of
France the theme may not to be
everyone's taste but the
one of the bean resorts on the strip
that I think isn't too cheesy and after
20 years the Paris has done a pretty
good job keeping things clean renovated
and up to date and that Eiffel Tower
just like the one in Paris you can go up
to the top to the viewing deck it's one
of the best views in Vegas there's also
a restaurant about a third of the way up
that also has some pretty good view and
if you're lucky you might just get a
room at the Paris that has a spectacular
view not just of the strip but of the
Bellagio fountains in that case you
might not actually want to leave your
room and if you're hungry I really enjoy
the crepe stand inside and also the
bakery for French pastries the second
best value hotel on the Las Vegas Strip
is the Treasure Island Hotel this hotel
I found rates around $60 with a resort
fee of about $40 so all said and done
about a hundred bucks
TripAdvisor ranks this one about 97 out
of all of the Las Vegas hotels which is
lower than the pair's but I rank it
higher in the Paris and let me tell you
why first I'm going to start with the
location like the Paris I love the
location here as well it's smack dab in
the center of the strip just that way
south of the Treasure Island you'll find
at the Mirage hotel across from the
Treasure Island here is the Venetian and
the Palazzo Hotel that way is the Wynn
in the Encore and then there's the
fashion show shopping mall just in that
direction but but what this has that the
Paris does it right there on that sign
you can see it has free parking that's
pretty neat also I like the theming of
the Treasure Island a bit better than
the Paris I like kind of this neat
pirate themed and the Treasure Island
has been remodeled more recently than
the Paris so it doesn't feel quite as
tired as the Paris does the guest rooms
here start a 400 square feet and have
pillowtop beds there's also plenty to do
on the hotel property including the
typical swimming pool bars restaurants
but also a 25-person hot tub and
you'll see this hotel called the
Treasure Island though it's also known
as the TI to try to give it a more adult
upscale vibe it used to be kind of Kitty
themed like Pirates of the Caribbean but
now it's a more adult centered
experience but sadly with that update to
become more adult Center these pirate
ships in front that used to be part of
the swashbuckling pirate show well that
show is no more and the ships are just
decoration and if you like country Nancy
and karaoke you RPI's the place and stop
inside Billy's
and just an extra bonus the CVS that's
on the corner of the Treasure Island
also has an entrance from inside the
hotel so you can get all of your
necessities here and pay a lot less than
from an expensive hotel gift shop so
before we get to number one I want to
share a couple honorable mentions with
you these are hotels that didn't make
the top 5 but they're worth considering
depending upon your situation the first
one is the cromwell this one is located
right across from Caesars Palace on the
Las Vegas Strip
it's a renovated hotel they used to be
something else you can often get room
rates here for as low as $100 many
people reported they really liked this
hotel although it's only good if you're
not a light sleeper it's not a really
busy intersection and there's a really
loud nightclub on top so only get this
if you weren't planning to spend all
that much time in your room and you can
sleep quite well another option if you
prefer a little bit more peace and quiet
is Lake Las Vegas this one is definitely
not on the strip but there's a couple
new hotels there there's a Westin and
there's a Hilton you can also get room
rates here for less than $100 if it's a
busy convention week and everything on
the strip is super expensive
check out Lake Las Vegas they'll make
sure you have a car for that and factor
in a 30-minute commute time from there
to the strip and my final honorable
mention goes to the Sahara Hotel it's
been tore down and rebuilt and received
a remodel lately it's a little bit of a
haul off the strip but if you don't mind
the location if you want something new
that's a good one to check out now I've
also got a few hotels I would recommend
you avoid in particular the Excalibur
but really in particular the Circus
Circus Manor rooms if you've not seen my
video on the 5 worst cheap hotels on the
Las Vegas Strip those are two hotels
that are on there you'll find the link
in description below or at the end of
this video to that one if you want to
see more about what hotels to not stay
in at the moment we've been waiting for
is here the reveal of number one best
value Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip and
it is the Marriott Vacation Club Grand
Chateau this one is my recommendation
for best value and it's also Topher's
favorite my traveling panda buddy
now room rates here they're a little
more than some of the other places I've
talked about earlier it's a hundred and
$9.00 a night for one of their basic
one-bedroom rooms here but this is a
timeshare hotel and so you can actually
get two bedrooms and three bedrooms and
I mentioned timeshare you don't have to
buy a timeshare to stay here you can
book it just like a regular hotel if you
are more detail about what we love about
this hotel including tours of the lobby
tours of the amenities and a full
walkthrough of the room well check out
our full video review of the Marriott
Grand Chateau eleven minutes all about
this hotel and I mentioned two years ago
we gave it three-and-a-half Topher's
bump it up to a four Topher rating
during this time the only thing I wish
this hotel was still as cheap today as
it used to be a few years ago when it
first opened and they had a lot of
availability you could actually find
room rates here under $100 well so these
hotels were to budget for you I've got a
whole video about the five best luxury
hotels on the Las Vegas Strip you can
check that out right here or if you want
to see more of my video review of the
Marriott's grand chateau the one that I
