FINALLY someone giving Bally's its credit! That hotel is super underrated. The location is everything, you're literally in the middle of all of the action without paying a luxury price for it and the rooms are big and clean.
THis dude knows what he's talking about. i got a crazy deal on a King Deluxe Room over at Harrah's. Even with resort fees, it came out to a steal of a deal.
Always loved Bally's/Horseshoe. Its the best location for a cheap hotel. Connected to Paris so like having two casinos in one. And so close to PH and Miracle Mile. Their rooms are great for the price.
Super informative, an entertaining watch, and dude has the smoothest voice! 😂 Started looking for the best budget hotels as I'm spending more and more time in Vegas to visit family vs a pure vacation, and this vid was helpful in knowing where I can get the best bang for the buck.
Was at the Flamingo about 4 years ago. DATED...and I was pounced upon buy hustlers when trying to electronically check in (wearing Flamingo shirts) who said they could 'help', and I was brought over to the other side of the lobby and pitched a time share seminar!!! And the air conditioner/heater in the room made so much noise because it was broken.
Two recent stays at Luxor: pryamid and tower, both great experiences. Beg to differ on location, it was perfect for shows and hockey game. Whole family had blast. Don't be afraid to book it!
This was great well thought out commentary. You made good arguments. The Flamingo is too dated for me, but you definitely made me think about things to consider when choosing a hotel in Vegas!!
Thanks for the info. I’ve at 2 of your #1 on your videos. Back in 2000 we stayed LinQ/ back then imperial palace and just recently Sept. 2022 at the COSMOPOLITAN my goodness that was the BEST and the POOLS ❤❤ I’m new to your channel because hubby was making reservations at the RIO I quickly sent him your video Lol
Philly West you could definitely make the case, but because shops are connected directly to LInQ, and it's in the name, it's gotta be tied to LinQ. But Flamingo being right next to it add to Flamingo's location benefit
Thanks for the information. I’m going in august 2023 and your video helped me narrow it down to 2 hotels to stay in. Hopefully everything rebb no sins the same as suggested in the video. Again thank you.
Woo hoo, I stayed at #1! The elevators didn't bother me. Next time, maybe a fancy place like the Aria. I also was pleasantly surprised at how decent the room was
@@blackbuddha7731 Bally's is straight. Not as nice as Mirage in my opinion, but it was cool. Lots of nearby food stands too if you get the late nite munchies
It’s funny how Caesars has most of the good budget hotels. I agree with this list except Sahara just because it’s locations, but it is connected to the monorail and it gets points back for that.
I recently started visiting Vegas quite frequently for Bingo tournaments, yes I LOVE BINGO 🤑😅! We went 4 times last year; My first stay was at the Goldcoast 🤦🏾♀️ (very dated), 2nd, and 3rd stay was at the Suncoast (much better experience but still a little dated), 4th was the palace Station (Even better experience), who knows where I'd wind-up next😂😂‼️
I love this list. You can get a lot more for a lot less at these places. I have a reservation at NYNY coming up soon. Is that too far removed from the center?
I don't know why Excalibur was not on the list. It was relatively cheap and clean, everything you need in a hotel. I just stayed there and i have no complaints.
I've stayed at Flamingo, harrahs, strat on the strip and a few downtown. I'm trying to try as many hotels as possible and i think my next will be ballys, paris or planet hollywood. I like Flamingo and harrahs just fine. Preferred it when it was the imperial with the dealers that would entertain inbetween.
I always like Boyd Group Hotels. Great place to eat and the casinos are nice. Thinking of going to Nevada next year. Think will revisit Reno. Stayed at the Imperial Palace when went to Las Vegas one time. O'Sheas was nice too. It was only a casino, no hotel. A lot of the independent casinos are not there anymore.
I like your choice I've been looking at this one for there off season. Do you know if they have like a pool and whirlpool or heated pool. Ya it looks like a pretty damn cool place and I'm talking about the link. Please any info would be awsome.
Honestly didnt go into Harrahs, my first trip. On my second trip, I was staying at We went to check out the volcano at Mirage and we were going to walk to Treasure Island to check it out but I looked at those Purple lights on the signs and asked my brother, "wana check out Harrahs to get it out of the way?" We ended up doing so and from the moment we walked in, it blew my expectations out of the water. Everything was new or new looking, found plenty of things to do while there and even ended up accidently ending up at the Linq and then the Pramanod. We never ended up making it to T.I. that trip because we were so suprised by the Linq and Harrahs. (Yes I was expecting Circus circus or Excalibur when I walked in there.
I grabbed Flamingo mid December, flamingo room on your reference with that garden view, for 30 a night plus resort and taxes. 3 nights for 240 total. Probably will eat and gamble enough to get some off. Location and history for me, love mob history
Sahara u can get over their location thanks to the monorail. Harrahs i want to give a chance but every Harrahs ive stayed at has had some issues. Idk im thinking about trying Horseshoe when it rebrands.
The monorail is extremely underrated. I stayed at the Westgate one year for an expo and it saved 20 minutes worth of walking and it's not expensive at all.
RavensIrony yep! The monorail does make it easier to get up and down the strip. I mentioned that during the recording of this vid, but clipped it out (accidentally) in the final edit.
Hey bro I'm trying to get like you i stay going to Vegas I'm in LA though. I'm usually at aria or vdara.. but i got my 4 day comp at luxor on Halloween.. any suggestions.. all are welcome if you read this.
My gf works for a hotel that gives her a discount at stratosphere so we go there. :P I got not choice! So wish we could swim other places or at least could have some not expensive but fun places to eat and have cold drinks (not all have to have alcohol). Any tips for September is when we will be going.
Recently did the Luxor and Flamingo. I have to say, I preferred my stay at the Luxor over the Flamingo. The service at the Flamingo was shockingly non existent. Check in experience at the Luxor was "LUXORIOS" compared to the Flamingo. Got early check in right away at the Luxor, but Flamingo didn't allow me to check in til 4. And there system didn't even let me know when my room was ready. I had to go up and just try to check in again. And those GO Rooms . . . I wished I watched this video and just got a Flamingo upgrade. Even still, property is run down. Casino is kind of small. I prefer the casino at the Luxor over this just based on size. Both casinos aint the grandest. Service overall at the Flamingo was just bad to non existant. Maybe that's Caesars thing or Flamingo thing.
Another example of FLAMINGO being bad. The whole floor wasn't given a "Do Not Disturb" signs. I checked, because I was just going to snatch one off another room when I thought they just forgot mine (I know, messed up, but was desperate lmao). Had to call and ask for one and along with some toiletries. They took 2 and half hours to get me my items. Never waited more than 30-45 minutes in other properties Ive stayed in. This, along with the all kiosk check in process with no human interaction and everything I highlighted already, Im just not a fan of Caesar properties so far.
@@johnmandock56 Oh Noo. I was talking about the Flamingo. The service at the Luxor is pretty good considering its a budget option. I have nothing but good things to say about the Luxor.
I have been performing a secret mission since 2018. I am staying at every hotel in Vegas and testing their cleanliness. What I do is I go into the hotel and find a part of a hallway with no camera views. I then poop on the floor and I document how long it takes for it to get cleaned up. So far, the Venetian is the top dog with a time of just over 5 minutes. The worst is Circus Circus. In August of 2019 I pooped on the floor on the 9th floor of the casino tower. As of May 11th 2023 my pile is still there.
No... its not. It's called Dave spicy chicken or something like that. So disappointed. Great chicken. But your in luck I found where it moved to just walking around. It's in cosmopolitan next to momofuku...
@@larryd.douglassr.9778 that place is called Dave's Hot Chicken now, and it is still outside of Bally's. There is a Blue Ribbon on the 3rd level at Cosmo directly across from STK and next to Secret Pizza
Ok. The strip is way over rated. Stay downtown. Way more fun, low limits, and cheap food and drinks. Golden Nugget is as cheap as Harrahs usually cheaper. Circa is off the hook.
im from sweden and will stay in vegas and other places for the first time. in my country we dont have cockroaches so im wondering if you would say that below 3 stars is when cock roaches starts to get more frequent?
@UnderwaterFishFilms you won't have to worry about cockroaches staying at hotels on the strip or downtown on Fremont. If it's 2 stars, I wouldn't even recommend staying there
FINALLY someone giving Bally's its credit! That hotel is super underrated. The location is everything, you're literally in the middle of all of the action without paying a luxury price for it and the rooms are big and clean.
@shayla. I know I been telling people this. I been starting there for last 5 years... minus 2020.
2023 The Bally’s is now called Horseshoe - and has been completely renovated and you can walk over to the Paris hotel! Great deal!
I'm actually leaving Vegas now. I stayed at The Linq (3rd time) and the price n location was perfect..
I'll be visiting for my birthday next year and you've given me alot of perspective on these hotels. Thank you! Great video 👍🏼
I agree with you’re choices. The Flamingo is my happy place. Right in the middle of the action.
THis dude knows what he's talking about. i got a crazy deal on a King Deluxe Room over at Harrah's. Even with resort fees, it came out to a steal of a deal.

I stayed at Planet Hollywood. Great suggestion from one of your videos. April 20th weekend 2023.
I want to go this year to see the Chris Angel Mindfreak show
Thank you - going to Las Vegas as a newbie on a budget and learned about some great hotels I never knew about
This was great well thought out commentary. You made good arguments. The Flamingo is too dated for me, but you definitely made me think about things to consider when choosing a hotel in Vegas!!
Thanks for sharing I'll be going back to Vegas next January for my Bday so I probably pick one of them rooms
I'm planning a trip to vegas next year. Thanks for the info. You have helped me narrow down my hotel search
We loved our stay at Bally’s !! Great place to stay!
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge..
Everyone says that phrase. You're not special
True, i have seen that phraze so many times. U did not invent it
All these fucking bots, get fucked
I’ll admit, one of the reasons I only stay at the linq is because of In & Out 😂😂 My only hotel that I stay at. Has everything I want on my list.
Thanks for the info. I’ve at 2 of your #1 on your videos. Back in 2000 we stayed LinQ/ back then imperial palace and just recently Sept. 2022 at the COSMOPOLITAN my goodness that was the BEST and the POOLS ❤❤ I’m new to your channel because hubby was making reservations at the RIO I quickly sent him your video Lol
#1 vegas channel on UA-cam no competition!
Great list. You did a great job. I can't dispute your order because I haven't stayed at all of them. I'm definitely going to try some of them now!
That's awesome I didn't know these casinos and hotels were there!! Usually you just see the big name ones first. Good to know thank you 😊
You can also argue that the Flamingo has the Promenade. One of the reasons I like staying there.
Philly West you could definitely make the case, but because shops are connected directly to LInQ, and it's in the name, it's gotta be tied to LinQ. But Flamingo being right next to it add to Flamingo's location benefit
I like the Orleans, friendly gambling area, great choice for food, and really good comps, very good prices around 100.00 per night
Thanks for the information. I’m going in august 2023 and your video helped me narrow it down to 2 hotels to stay in. Hopefully everything rebb no sins the same as suggested in the video. Again thank you.
Headed there this weekend! I always enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing👍
Keep up the great work bro no doubt! Definitely helps people for sure indeed as always! #TVP
Of the hotels on your list, I’ve only stayed at The Linq & Bally’s/Horseshoe but I definitely agree with you!
Woo hoo, I stayed at #1! The elevators didn't bother me. Next time, maybe a fancy place like the Aria. I also was pleasantly surprised at how decent the room was
Yay for The Linq!!! 🙌🏾
I agree the Sahara is really progressing into one on the most appealing properties in LV.
Thank you, this video helped me a lot!
This is a solid list. We usually stay at Flamingo, but will be shifting towards Paris for the same reason as Ballys. Good stuff!
I just reserved a room at Bally's on the strength of this review. Will let you know what I think of it. Got a great deal too.
How was it?
@@blackbuddha7731 Bally's is straight. Not as nice as Mirage in my opinion, but it was cool. Lots of nearby food stands too if you get the late nite munchies
@@MrBmick79Well mirage is Not considered budget right ?
You are spot on. Have stayed at some of the hotels mentioned but mostly stay at Ballys/Horseshoe.

Where the Bingo tournaments at sweetie
Priorities in a hotel, one, super clean room, two, location, three, amenities
Such great information as always thanks for details in all areas!!
Thanks man, I’m going to the linq for the first time this summer
about 8 years ago i was at flamingo when they were redoing the carpet on the casino floor. i think that was their casino renovation
I am going to stay at the Linq during the World Series of Poker next month
I love this list. You can get a lot more for a lot less at these places. I have a reservation at NYNY coming up soon. Is that too far removed from the center?
Give me 4 walls, a ceiling, a clean bed, and a locked door and I’m good.
We usually do Flamingo because it was cheaper than the Linq and still on the Promenade. We only need the room to shower, sleep, and fuk.
The flamingo pool looked AWESOME
I would like to stay at the top 4 hotels you mentioned. But what about the hotels on the old strip, as I have never stayed on the old strip
My fiancé and I are going to be staying at Harrah’s! Thank you for this!
As usual- informative 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊😊
I don't know why Excalibur was not on the list. It was relatively cheap and clean, everything you need in a hotel. I just stayed there and i have no complaints.

What do you mean it has a vibe

Michael Hopkins T.I. would fall into the Affordable category, middle tier above Cheap/Budget
What is that website you used to compare the hotel costs? :O
For the last 3 years l been staying at flamingo l be going back next month l been staying at Paris this time
defo ADDON planet hollywood

@@TheVegasParadise I completely missed that so thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check it out :)
Could you do a video on the best off strip hotels
But, the Flamingo shares the same promenade… so how do you have the flamingo so low. Lol but I agree mostly. I have flamingo #2 and ballys #3
Bro,you should do a stream IN the hotel
Is there any way to lock in a low price hotel like Aria or Palazzo around CES 2023?
No. That is the most expensive 4 days of the year.

Hi Tim good info I feel location to me is very necessary
What do you think about the MGM?
Big NO to Flamingo. Had a bad experience there and will not go back.
Is the Blue ribbon chicken place outside of Bally's still there?

Luxor had the worst beds ever when we went!
I can't believe this guy calls 175 USD a night hotels "CHEAP"
Bally’s is ghetto. Someone got shot on the casino floor there.
For me budget hotels means hotels under 30 collars. Rest are just expensive hotels and are a waste of money.
Gold coast and orleans is best
Which Harrahs tower is better?
Dan V Valley tower
Whoaa no planet Hollywood or Mirage/Soon to be hard Rock. But more importantly, no planet Hollywood
Colossal Mind B.T.S. Planet Hollywood and Mirage/Hard Rock wouldn't fall into the cheap/budget hotel category, they are affordable hotels.
@@TheVegasParadise ahhh ok. That makes sense 💯
Strat hotel is also a good cheap hotel
Ad remember safety
Ok. The strip is way over rated. Stay downtown. Way more fun, low limits, and cheap food and drinks. Golden Nugget is as cheap as Harrahs usually cheaper. Circa is off the hook.
Hells yeah. The golden nugget is my gp to. Vince and Anthony's steak house is the best.

Luxor was nice. Not expensive.
Hi tim
Bro the strat cheaper than luxor anyday lol
First!
Harrah's is not cheap with a 45 dollar a night resort fee
Planet Hollywood?
Excalibur was god awful.
You talk a lot, nice voice though. Maybe voice overs would work better allowing for more footage!!!
