The Unbeatable Value Champion

Palace Station dominates the budget category by offering what others can't: recently renovated rooms with premium bedding, 55-inch smart TVs, and marble-accented bathrooms at prices frequently dipping below $70. The $20-25 resort fee includes high-speed WiFi and fitness center access—uncommon at this price point.

Practical Advantages: The free shuttle to Strip properties runs every 30 minutes, saving $20+ daily on rideshares. Their casino features newer slot machines than many mid-tier Strip properties, while the Oyster Bar remains a local legend for its pan roasts. Rooms measure a generous 350+ square feet, larger than many Bellagio standard rooms.

Why #1: No other property combines recent renovations, comprehensive amenities, and consistent pricing this effectively. The west Strip location provides easy freeway access while maintaining proximity to attractions.

Position 2🥈

Park MGM Las Vegas

Strip South (connected to Park MGM)$$

8.8

A sophisticated smoke-free option that delivers Strip adjacency and upscale amenities at surprising value prices.

Key Highlights

Smoke-free environment
Direct access to Park MGM amenities
Modern Italian design

The Sophisticated Budget Choice

Park MGM's secret weapon is its frequent mid-week pricing drops to $89-99, putting a Strip-connected property with high-end amenities within budget range. As Las Vegas' first completely smoke-free casino resort, it appeals to non-smokers and families seeking cleaner air.

Practical Advantages: Guests access all Park MGM amenities including the breathtaking Pool District, 5,200-seat theater, and 14 restaurant options. The lobby's vibrant Italian marketplace Eataly provides affordable dining options rare on the Strip. Rooms feature custom beds with triple sheeting and marble bathrooms with walk-in showers.

Why #2: While prices fluctuate more than Palace Station, the Strip location and smoke-free environment justify the slight premium. The resort fee ($39-45) is higher but includes premium WiFi and fitness center access comparable to $50+ fee properties.

Position 3🥉

Rio Hotel & Casino

West of Strip (0.8 miles to Caesars Palace)$$

8.5

Offers massive suite accommodations and legendary amenities at prices that defy their 1,200+ square foot layouts.

Key Highlights

All-suite accommodations
Iconic Carnival World Buffet
Free shuttle to Strip

Detailed Review

The Spacious Suite Experience

Rio delivers something unique in the budget category: all-suite accommodations starting at 600 square feet (standard rooms) to 1,200+ square feet (premium suites) frequently available under $100. The recently renovated Masquerade Village rooms feature separate sitting areas, wet bars, and spectacular Strip views.

Practical Advantages: The free shuttle to Harrah's and Caesars runs every 30 minutes. The legendary Carnival World Buffet remains one of Vegas' best meal values at $25-35. While the casino shows some age, it features lower table minimums than Strip properties. The resort fee ($35-40) includes WiFi and fitness center access.

Why #3: Though needing some cosmetic updates, the sheer space and proven amenities provide outstanding value. The west Strip location means quieter nights while maintaining easy Strip access. Price fluctuations are more dramatic here—book 3-4 weeks out for best rates.

Finding quality Las Vegas accommodations under $100 requires strategic planning—targeting mid-week dates, off-season periods, and properties just off the main Strip corridor. While these rates exclude resort fees and taxes, our selected properties deliver remarkable value without compromising on essential comforts. From recently renovated rooms to surprisingly robust amenities, these hotels prove budget stays don't mean sacrificing the Vegas experience.
