Too little information for a complete answer. A large run-up of prices is obtained even from different days of the week (for weekends, prices rise twice, and the cheapest ones are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday).
аватар Dushka333
Jabetta, thanks for your reply. Yesterday I ran through the hotel options. You confirmed my assumptions about prices for different days of the week. Frankly speaking, I felt a pleasant surprise from the prices in the USA (the first trip is planned). 5 stars in Las Vegas can be found for $200, while in Moscow it was $600, in Abu Dhabi $700, and even higher in Paris (at least in my lifetime).

Cheap hotels are only in Vegas! ;)
In any nearby cities, prices will be much higher (although there is an alternative everywhere - cheap motels).
In Vegas, 5* hotels are cheap because the profit comes from the casino, not from the "beds". That's why Vegas is ideal for "bulging" and staying in first-class hotels (Bellagio, Venetian or even Caesars Palace).
Nowhere else will you experience so much chic for such a price.
Read my review of Bellagio. If you are going to Vegas for the first time, then start with this hotel! ;) And be sure to have a room with a "luxury view" of the fountains! )))
аватар Pepper
You can book a room and see prices here: http://bellagio.com/
Lakeview Deluxe Room (deluxe with a view of the fountains) in June - from 299 to 529 dollars per night. To this amount, add another "tax" (tax), I don't remember exactly, something in the region of 12-13%.
Just remember that in 5 * hotels, only the cost of living and the use of the hotel's infrastructure are included in the cost of living. There are no "free" internets, free bars and breakfasts there.
I recommend that you pre-book tickets for the show of the circus "Du Soleil" there, on the day of arrival at the hotel there will most likely be no more tickets.
аватар Pepper
And it is convenient to look at the prices for air travel here (interface in Russian): http://www.skyscanner.ru/
аватар Dushka333
To Pepper. I read your review (thank you very much) and heard a lot about Bellagio. True, experienced (on foreign forums) say that the service there is "worse", and it is better to stay in Wynn with luxurious pools. I’m sitting on the websites of these hotels, and drooling is unbearable, and my heart is torn into two parts :)
And what, from the cult program in Vegas Du Soleil - the most spectacular? And thanks for the link to the airline site. We got it right too :).
аватар jabetta
Wynn, of course, is a super - new hotel, but, as for me, it is worse located than Bellagio, which is in the very center, again, fountains. See also the Palazzo.
By show: For my taste, the best show in Vegas is La Reef (at the Wynn Hotel). From Du Soleil the best O-show (in Bellagio). Another good Ka-show (MGM Grand) and Love in the Beatles (Mirage).
If you have any more questions please ask.
аватар Pepper
In addition to pay shows, Vegas is full of evening "street" free shows in front of hotels.
Fountains at Bellagio, a "volcanic eruption" at Mirage, a theatrical show near Treasure Island, etc. I also watched with interest an exhibition of rare cars in the Imperial Palace.
For interest, I broke through the prices for flights from New York to Vegas. In June, the cheapest round-trip tickets are $300 per person. On the website of the Virginamerica airline, you can even see a picture - a diagram of the aircraft - when booking. :)
аватар jabetta
In my previous post, there was an error (sorry) instead of "Love in the Beatles" read "The Beatles in Love".
Of the free more shows at Wynn. And yet, you need to go around all the central hotels and see them - each has its own zest. You can go (go) to the Stratosphere for attractions, again there are roller coasters in the Sahara and New York. And crazy shopping.
But 3 days is catastrophically not enough for this. There are so many interesting things that it is a pity to sleep.
аватар Pepper
And also take a walk along the local "Arbat" - the pedestrian part of Fremont Street, covered with a dome. It is beautiful there. The corner of this street at the 4 Queens casino is familiar all over the world from Hollywood films. )))
By the way, information for those who are not in the know - you can see almost any American street in photographs in real 3D. Use google maps, find the desired city, zoom in and drag the little man icon (next to the scale bar) to the desired street with the mouse. After that, you can "walk" along the street, looking at it in the pictures with your own eyes - using the mouse, the "camera" can be moved back and forth and rotated around the axis.
аватар viktorss
Why such cool hotels? You are not going to live there! Quite decent for 70-100 days. Actually, given the abundance of entertainment and your 3 days, you will have to sleep for 2 hours. Otherwise, why go to Vegas. But you need money. Without a road and housing -500 per day per person is normal, so as not to feel flawed. Without chic. Of course, a circus class, a canyon by helicopter with a stop at the Colorado River, an evening flight over the Strip with champagne on board, Alaskan crabs for 100 bucks to dump, jump for 100d from the highest tower, etc. It's all waiting for you and your money + casino. I stayed last year at Treasure Island on the 32nd floor.
аватар Dushka333
To Victors. You won't believe it, I'll have to sleep, as usual, a good 7-8 hours :). Otherwise, I'm not a man :)! Yes, and the "frills" you listed are more likely for more energetic persons (in particular, about jumps!), Rather than for us (but thanks for the information !!!). In this regard, we are from the caste "better less but better" :) (the caste is called WOMEN :)). Although I consider your 500d / day to be somewhat overkill even for Vegas (if you don’t set such a goal, of course). I was wrong? Vegas experts, correct me :). A little note: we are talking about "NON-players" :)
аватар jabetta
500 per day can be spent easily (expensive restaurants, shows, shopping, etc., etc.), even without a casino, but you can get by much cheaper.
аватар Pepper
You can spend more than $ 500 per day ... With champagne, yes, by helicopter))))
But I'm afraid that the average American (not a millionaire player) who comes to Vegas will turn his head and ask in surprise, what can you spend so much on? ))
You will have several possible big expenses:
1) a couple of trips to the show (about 150 bucks for each ticket)
2) booze once in a good restaurant (like "Picasso" in "Bellagio") or eat crabs like viktorss - $100-200 per person
3) a trip to the Grand Canyon, there are three most attractive (from my point of view) ways to get there:
- by your own car (if you rent it) - the cheapest way, I can send you a map (not all GPS navigators know it) in a personal message
- a bus tour is significantly more expensive, and the buzz is less, but this is the cheapest way without your own car
- and if funds allow - a combined excursion by plane and helicopter is even more expensive (about $ 360), but it's worth it!
It is better to book excursions by bus or helicopter in advance on the canyon website: http://grandcanyonwest.com/
At the hotel, these excursions will be exorbitant!
And all other expenses are nonsense. Food in the US is nasty but inexpensive
аватар jabetta
From the food there, the best thing to try is the steaks. And it’s not expensive to eat, so this is the so-called cafe. You pay an "entry ticket" and eat what and how much you want (buffet). In such a cafe in the Mirage, crabs were also served, but they do not know how to cook them. To eat this delicious, you need to go to a good restaurant.
аватар Pepper
"the so-called cafe", where you pay for the entrance and eat as much as you like, the entrance is always marked "buffet" ;)
аватар jabetta
Okay, thanks for correcting me.
аватар viktorss
In this regard, we are from the caste "less is better" - It doesn't happen! It reminds me of going to a chic restaurant with gourmet cuisine with my own sandwich. It seems like he visited and ate! And why do you need Vegas, for show? America is a beautiful country, there are many national parks, museums, exhibitions, amazing beaches. There is something to see. And Vegas is a drive, boiling, sharp impressions. If you do not fly over the burning city in the evening, you will not see it. So what if 100 bucks? Can you see such beauty every day? Feel like a princess driving a limousine to a helicopter? Or have dinner in Bellagio under the spray of singing fountains? Oh yes, you can eat a sandwich, out of habit! Yes, you can just go to hotels and have fun, there is something to see, and the Strip is beautiful with a bustling life. But you can take part in it, drink delicious cocktails, watch the Beatles show, torment the handle of the slot machine, sip margaritas, ride a horse through wild places. This is not a museum, although there are plenty of originals. The Americans say: "If you haven't climbed the Empire S.B., you haven't seen New York!" This probably applies to Vegas as well. With uv. Victor. Kyiv.

It's strange, but your profile says USA.
Everyone "stretches his legs along the clothes." I saw a bunch of Americans in Vegas who didn’t even try to go to a restaurant (although you can find budget options there too), but went to their favorite McDonald’s for very big hamburgers and more. Everyone has their own interests. In any case, planning a trip there for only 3 days for the first time, you can absolutely easily get a lot of impressions, and not expensive (at least not for 500 per day). We don't know what plans Dushka333 has for a trip to the USA in general, so, such a thing, we give information, and she decides.
аватар Dushka333
Victors, and you are a romantic :)! I would like such a life drive in mine. . . :). And our plans for the LV, indeed, are somewhat different from yours. It’s just that a long time ago I promised my closest friend, who was leaving forever for the USA, that the day would come when I would set foot on this overseas land, and we would definitely go to LAS VEGAS, as if in some ghostly childhood dream that would never come true. . And now, when the chance of our meeting on the American continent very clearly loomed on the horizon, I think that this word should be kept :). Although both of them already have a decent list of trips to European and Asian "Wonders of the World". And to be honest, you, Victorss, almost completely discouraged going to LV, because all the "passions" you described have already been "tasted and tempted" by us in other countries (with the possible exception of the Grand Canyon, due to its uniqueness and jumps from a height due to individual intolerance :) ). So if you are lucky enough to find yourself in Vegas, then it’s for 2-3 days, Bellagio or Wynn, in order to see the panorama of the city from bed in the morning, taste a buffet for breakfast, go down to the SPA and to the pool, take a walk along the Strip? eating some Dirty Water Dog (yes, for 3 kopecks :))
аватар Dushka333
Tired walking, to such an extent that you don’t remember, years later, how a steak was fried in an incomprehensible restaurant, turn off for the next show, and don’t remember how to find yourself again in a hotel room :). Here, approximately, so :).
аватар viktorss
I had to keep my word to myself. I didn’t understand the motives. .The soul asks ... Yes, I agree to save for a long time, to deny myself something, but then without regard to the cost. I plan in advance everything I want to see and do. Not enough money, well, until next time. But to each his own. I liked Vegas, unlike L.A. Of course, it’s worth visiting. I hope you will like it too.
аватар jabetta
Maybe it's not at all about saving and saving for something. It's just that everyone has their own interests. Personally, I don't "get high" from some kind of "fireworks", such as champagne on a helicopter, etc. Again, eating up a lot of money in cool restaurants, if only it was considered that this is accepted in the LV (actually, "they don't feed us badly here either"). And based on the availability of only 3 days, it’s a pity to spend time sitting in a restaurant - on the contrary! I quickly grabbed something and ran on to watch miracles. It is normal when everyone has their own interests and needs. For example, when I am back in the LV, I will definitely go to the stratosphere again and go through all its attractions, but I can absolutely understand people who twist their fingers at the temple, looking at this "disgrace".
I repeat - to each his own. Someone needs to boo, but for someone it’s a thrill to just wander and stare. My husband, for example, could just stand at the fountains all the time he was there and he would not get tired of it. It's all right. Every person's soul asks for something different.
Absolutely with you, viktorss, I agree that it is definitely worth visiting this city.
аватар viktorss
I also climb the mountain for half a day, hungry, wet from sweat and rain, to see the eagle's nest. But if I want, for myself, to eat beautifully "with a view", not for the sake of the final result, I do not regret either time or money. I really look at things, without fanaticism. I like "it's better to do and regret than to regret not doing it" Life is short, you need to hurry up. , shout from the highest dam, watch the most beautiful shows - Las Vegas gives it to you. Do not pass by. And only then can you say - I was in Vegas and saw it. Regards Victor.
аватар Pepper
But I would prefer to purposefully spend money on something travel, and not to waste money in slot machines. And even in Vegas left less than 50 bucks for these games. I'm not rushing to give money for the opportunity to press a button or pull a lever. Not interested!
But let's not argue about tastes. The author of the question already has all the necessary information.

to Pepper "Food in the US is nasty but inexpensive"
I feel sorry for you if you feel this way about food in the USA. I don't mean by "food" McDonald's, CFS, Burger King, etc. eateries. But there are inexpensive chain restaurants like Red Lobster http://www.redlobster.com/, Olive Garden ( http://www.olivegarden.com/), P.F. Chang's China Bistro ( http://www.pfchangs.com/index.aspx) or even California Pizza Kitchen
( http://www.cpk.com/), Cheese Cake Factory ( http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/). All these restaurants are in Las Vegas hotels, where you can eat deliciously and even take one combo serving for two so as not to overeat. I'm already silent about the colossal number of sushi restaurants. Just because you don't like US food doesn't mean it's nasty in general. A classic American meal is a cut of meat or poultry with mashed potatoes and salad. For breakfast, it's always eggs in any form with potatoes and bacon. You just need to know where to eat, that's all.
аватар Pepper
I'm sorry for you
Ospidya! How many show-offs are in these words of yours! )) Keep it simple!
Nobody argues that in the USA you can eat well and tasty. In good words, I remember an Italian restaurant in San Diego or a Chinese restaurant in Portland, where you could eat relatively inexpensively and awesomely delicious.
But I'm talking about the AVERAGE level of "catering" that catches the eye of a hungry tourist, and where those who "just don't know where to eat" are forced to eat. A person who has arrived in Vegas for the first time, with little knowledge of the country and a limited vocabulary, will eat either expensively or disgustingly. It is a fact. This is the difference with Europe! In Europe, anyone can eat deliciously without knowing the secret paths.
By the way, my American friends took me to "inexpensive chain restaurants" in Seattle - they taste super-duper there ... But it all seemed to me the same McDonald's - tasteless, artless, monotonous. ))
Little has changed since the 1930s. See winged words below.
“All this beautifully cooked food is rather tasteless, somehow discolored in taste. It is not dangerous for the stomach, it may even be useful, but it does not give a person any satisfaction.
(I. Ilf, E. Petrov, "One-story America")
аватар Pepper
And yet, since they started talking about food! )))
I would like to say about the size of portions in "chain restaurants". Beware of the words "long" or "big" in portion names. We sometimes ate as a family (three of us), ordering two CHILDREN servings for three. ))
And about the restaurants at the Vegas hotels. As for "Picasso", etc. I will not say anything - there are prices, you know ...
But we somehow went to a restaurant in the Luxor Hotel. Pretty cute. From the outside, it really looks like a normal restaurant. The price tag is above average... We look at the menu. First page of the menu: egg dishes with two eggs. The second page of the menu: dishes with three eggs. Menu page three: everything else... o_O
Is it okay to go to a restaurant to eat scrambled eggs? )) Calm down, I tell my wife! We are not at McDonald's! On the third page, everything should be delicious! )) And my wife ordered a certain dish called "short steak", hoping that she would bring a small piece of meat. Hell no! It turned out to be two huge pancakes with sweet sauce. ))) She almost burst into tears from resentment. ))
So, I'm afraid three days in Vegas is not enough to check all the catering establishments on your own stomach and find the best ones. ))
аватар viktorss
to Pepper-A very old joke: "At the bedside of a dying man. My children, I spent half of my fortune on cards and women, unfortunately I disposed of the other half unwisely." Buy, for example, a player, or burn all night, rejoice and cry, hope and despair, and then, in old age, remember those days or nights spent in the casino. What's better? Regardless of your answer, millions from all over the world go to Vegas and play. And among them are the poor and the very rich, scientists and pizza sellers. When I was going to this city for the first time, I read comments like: "There is nothing to do in Vegas for more than two days." Of course, if you sit in your room or under the hotel and lick ice cream. Is it weak to race a buggy through a rocky desert? Or climb in a balloon, feeling trembling in the knees? For a frog, the lake is the whole world! And the reviews "I've already seen it in Thailand" are nonsense. It's like skydiving - always new sensations. I do not call for playing cards or drinking vodka. But trying to get the most out of your trip is worth it. And $500 won't seem like an astronomical amount to you. And what to value life? A breath of water, air? A good anecdote with a glass of moonshine in the company of friends? Don't go to Las Vegas - there is only one street?!
аватар Dushka333
Thank you all for the convincing arguments FOR Vegas :)! And yet, after your examples, at the risk of adding even more fuel to the fire :), I want to share another premonition that VEGAS is a city more for men than for women (statistically average :) )!
