Top 10 budget hotels in Las Vegas

| Top 10 budget hotels in Las Vegas |
Golden Gate
Beside downtown's Fremont Street Experience, an electronic sound-and-light show, the Golden Gate is a one-of-a-kind vintage casino hotel. It opened in 1906, a year after the city of Las Vegas was founded. Victoriana abounds inside the San Francisco-themed casino, with antique "one-armed bandits" (slot machines) by the lobby registration desk. Recently remodelled hotel rooms have more panache than other downtown casino hotels: witness dark-leather headboards and club chairs, flatscreen TVs, and pillow-top mattresses. Avoid rooms with prison-barred windows that look onto a noisy back alley.
Tropicana
Bounding back to its former glory, the Tropicana is one of only a handful of 1950s casino hotels still standing on the Strip. Opposite the MGM Grand, the Trop is looking better than ever thanks to a multimillion-dollar renovation that has enlivened the casino and open-air pools, added more youthful bars and restaurants and re-envisioned hotel rooms with sexy Miami style. Tasteful touches, such as plantation shutters, artificial greenery and chaise longues, manage not to clash with 21st-century perks such as plasma TVs and heavenly beds.
Rumor
Tired of the dinging of Vegas's slot machines? Flee the casinos at this boutique hotel, a short drive, bus or taxi ride east of the Strip. Minimalist motel-style buildings surround a small pool with cabanas, cocktails and DJs. All done up in chic white, cool shades of violet and indigo, or stark red-and-black whimsy, each "suite" (really, most are just oversized rooms) comes with its own hot tub, Wi-Fi, and an "adult" TV channel. The Addiction resto-lounge is the place to hook up during happy hour while, across the street, the Hard Rock resort offers pool parties, concerts, and a rock-star spa and shops.
Monte Carlo
The opening of the flashy Cosmopolitan resort – a short walk north along the Strip – has upped the ante for staying at the Monte Carlo. With the CityCenter casino, hotel, shopping, dining and entertainment complex next door, you'll understand why these rooms are still among the Strip's better bargains. Quality rooms come with all mod-cons such as flatscreen TVs, iPod docking stations and Wi-Fi. By day, escape to the hotel's outdoor pool complex, which has a "lazy river" ride for floating along on inflatable rafts, a splashy wave pool, and sandy beach-volleyball courts.
Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon
Bang in the middle of the Strip, this petite corner casino sees plenty of action, day and night. The attached hotel is western–themed, with Victorian sconces in the hallways, faux stained-glass in the bathrooms, and striped wallpaper brightening compact hotel rooms. Although rooms haven't been freshened up in quite a while, don't worry: you won't be spending much time indoors, not with the Bellagio and Caesars Palace casino resorts across the street. There's no swimming pool at Bill's, but hotel guests can use the pool complex at the neighboring Flamingo resort. Don't miss Big Elvis's celebrity impersonator lounge shows most weekday afternoons.
Stratosphere
Beside the tripod Stratosphere Tower, this low-rollers' casino hotel is constantly thronged by families with small kids and gaggles of tour groups. Don't let that put you off booking one of the renovated "Stratosphere Select" rooms, complete with flatscreen TVs and alarm clocks with MP3 players. Earth-toned decor with burgundy accents is soothing to look at, although views from rooms overlooking the parking garage aren't! However, there is the bonus that hotel rooms usually include free admission to the tower. A nearby bus stop and monorail station let you make a quick escape down to the Strip or downtown for more fun.
Rio
Staying off the Strip can make you feel cut off from the non-stop party zone, but not at the Rio. Fast, frequent and free shuttle buses transport guests to the Rio's more famous sister casino resorts on the Strip, including Caesars Palace and Paris Las Vegas. You'll usually save big bucks on the Rio's hotel suites, which are unusually spacious by casino standards, with vibrant (OK, some may say tacky) colour schemes of mint, lemon yellow and aqua. If the Rio's lacklustre dining and drinking venues – such as the sky-high Voodoo Lounge – don't excite you, take a short walk over to the trendy Palms casino resort, buzzing with nightspots and the Playboy Club.
Orleans
A gaudy tribute to the French Quarter of New Orleans, this off-Strip casino hotel has a welcoming family-friendly atmosphere. Not only do rooms here typically cost much less than on the Strip, but they're spacious and tidy too. Unlike at most Vegas casino hotels, mini-refrigerators are available for rent, in addition to complimentary in-room coffee makers. When the kids get bored, take them to the 24-hour bowling alley, the multiplex cinema, or the drop-off childcare centre. Although it's not within walking distance of the Strip, the Orleans provides free Strip shuttles for guests. You'll find free Wi-Fi at Seattle's Best Coffee on the casino level.
South Point
Standing far south of the Strip, off the I-15 expressway, this newly built casino hotel is a comfortable, no-fuss haven for budget travellers. Impeccably clean rooms are almost "mini suites", comfortably furnished with sofas, flatscreen TVs, and walls in sunset hues. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lobby on the casino level, where the all-American Steak 'n' Shake diner will satisfy cravings for burgers, skinny fries and thick milkshakes until midnight or later. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle service and frequent shuttle rides to and from the Strip (surcharge applies), or you can grab a taxi.
The Plaza
Facing the Fremont Street Experience, this long-running downtown casino player has shaken things up with a recent revamp. Spiffed-up hotel rooms with cream and chocolate-coloured walls, floral-print bedding, plaid curtains and marble bathrooms are worth more than the affordable rates suggest. Beware that not everything may be in perfect working order, however, as the management still has a few kinks to iron out. The location can't be beaten for fans of Vegas kitsch: it's a fairly fast bus or taxi ride from the Strip. Inside, take a mini-golf swing at the Swingers Club lounge, or head upstairs for the views from the glass dome inside Oscar's Steakhouse.

| Top 10 Casino Hotels Worldwid |
Foxwoods Resort Casino
Better known for Ivy Leaguers and autumn leaves than slot machines and five card stud, Connecticut offers a Las Vegas-worthy surprise in the form of Foxwoods Resort Casino. Owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, this property is home to six casinos, as well as a Rees Jones-designed championship golf course, a Troon Golf Academy and a whopping 30-plus restaurants including a Red Lantern outpost (Asian), Paragon (market fresh) and David Burke Prime (steakhouse). Accommodations range from the contemporary Fox Tower to the cozy Two Trees Inn to private designer villas with round-the-clock butler service. Along with the sumptuous G Spa and Salon, located at The Fox Tower, the resort houses Norwich Spa at Foxwoods for those who want to double down on their pampering experience. Add a swanky bowling alley, nightclubs, a comedy club, designer shopping and an interactive cultural museum, and you can see why North America's largest casino resort made its way onto our top 10 list.
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo
Synonymous with high-end Riviera luxury, the gorgeous building that houses the Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo has been a local fixture for 150 years. October 2014 saw the launch of a four-year renovation program that will elevate the already lavish property to even greater heights with a new garden courtyard, updated suites and a rooftop villa with private garden and pool. The hotel will remain open throughout the renovation period, with a limited capacity of 53 rooms and suites. The stunning façade overlooking Casino Square will remain untouched, as will historical spaces such as the lobby with its signature equestrian statue of Louis XIV (thought to bring luck to those who touch it), the American Bar, the Louis XV-Alain Ducasse restaurant, the Empire Room and the legendary 450,000-bottle wine cellar. When renovations are completed in 2018, the hotel will be home to a new spa, a modern fitness facility and a pool --- innovations that will continue to rank the property at the forefront of French luxury hotels.
Ibiza Gran Hotel
This elegant, contemporary hotel infuses its designer look with an art collection gathered to complement the open-air architecture. Lots of white, muted metal and sandy beach tones make for a relaxing atmosphere in the guest rooms, suites, spa and public spaces. Dining focuses on regional and seaside specialties, while the casino brings a touch of class to Ibiza's notoriously wild nightlife scene.
Marina Bay Sands
Internationally respected architect Moshe Safdie designed this superlative resort, which features a casino, ArtScience Museum with 21 gallery spaces and Banyan Tree spa. High-end restaurants showcase some of the culinary world's top names: Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsay, Mario Batali and Daniel Boulud. From Broadway-caliber productions to large-scale art installations, this unique destination offers memorable attractions for all ages.
Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort
When envisioning Morocco, the first things that come to mind are the elegant riads of Marrakech and the rugged beauty of the Atlas Mountains. But the country has so much more to offer. Just an hour from Casablanca, this luxurious destination resembles an ancient fortress. It is suitably self-contained, featuring its own beach, a championship golf course designed by Gary Player and a spa with an ocean-view couples treatment suite and a mosaic-tiled hammam. Dining options range from French fare to classic Moroccan cuisine served in traditional Berber tents under the stars. When you're ready to try your luck, head to the house casino, adorned with stylish Arabian design accents, more than 450 slot machines and 46 tables offering games such as English roulette, blackjack and Baccarat. Private gaming rooms and a dress code ensure an elegant, exclusive experience.
The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino
From the team behind The Venetian comes The Palazzo: a 50-story, all-suite property with European-influenced, plush guest quarters varying in size from 720 up to 3,000 square feet. Outfitted with every imaginable amenity, including sunken living room spaces, marble-appointed baths and remote controlled Roman curtains and shades, Palazzo's suites offer elegance and luxurious comfort. Just as decadent are Palazzo's dining choices, featuring restaurants from some of the world's greatest chefs: Table 10 by Emeril Lagasse, CUT by Wolfgang Puck and Carnevino by Mario Batali, to name a few. In addition, Italian cuisine in a hip dining room is paired with a chic nightclub at LAVO. The Grand Canal Shoppes connect this 3,066-room property to The Venetian, and the sisters share a reservation system and some facilities, including the Canyon Ranch SpaClub. To top it off, the Palazzo received the eco-friendly designation as the largest LEED-certified hotel in the world. Take advantage of The Prestige at Palazzo and enjoy the ultimate in VIP service.
Park Hyatt Mendoza
An elegant, 19th-century Spanish colonial façade welcomes guests at this luxurious property overlooking the lively Plaza de la Independencia. Although the city of Mendoza is known for its nearby vineyards and Andes ski resorts (just 90 minutes away), this hotel gives visitors good reason to stay in town. Inspired by the area's wineries, The Kaua Club & Spa features antioxidant treatments using products that incorporate ingredients from local grapes. Among the house dining venues, Grill Q serves traditional Argentine meats in a setting clad in warm wood with a view of the garden and pool. When not sipping local vintages, dining on sirloin empanadas or unwinding with a signature wine facial, guests can head for the tri-level Regency Casino. This upscale space lures glamorous gamblers from around the world with a variety of table games that include all the usual suspects, as well as punto y banca, a local variation of Baccarat.
The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan
Situated on the Northern coast of Puerto Rico, this beachfront hotel offers more than just raw ocean beauty and multicolored sunsets. Surrounded by the vibrant San Juan capital, the energetic culture of this city can’t help but spill over into this colorful resort that offers a 12,000-square-foot Caribbean spa and 24-hour casino. There are five restaurants, including Laurent Tourondel’s famous BLT Steakhouse and Il Mulino New York. Hotels are adorned in classic Ritz-Carlton luxury with marble baths and top-quality linens, providing ocean, city, and garden views. Historic Old San Juan, the Art Museum of Puerto Rico, and the El Yunque Rainforest are just a few attractions to explore within reach.
Sun City Resort
With Gary Player-designed golf greens, dining aplenty, a casino and the Valley of the Waves water park, Sun City caters to every member of the family. Four luxurious lodging choices include Palace of the Lost City, inspired by fantasies of ancient African palaces and featuring waterfalls, gardens and the Grand Pool. The resort enjoys access to two malaria-free wildlife reserves, Pilanesberg National Park and the Madikwe Game Reserve, where guests can embark on game drives in search of the Big Five.
The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel
Modeled after its sister property in Las Vegas, The Venetian Macao is one of the many impressive casino hotels that have given Macau world-class status as a gambling mecca. What makes it stand out is its commitment to the maxim, "bigger is better." Its 3,000 suites each have a minimum of 750 square feet of space, and if you can drag yourself away from your lavish accommodation, set aside time — and lots of it — to explore the casino. The resort's gaming space measures 374,000 square feet with a selection of elite VIP rooms. Although you can easily spend 24/7 placing bets, we suggest venturing out for a gondola ride, high-end shopping spree or swim in the Venetian pools. Of note are the wellness hospital and spa, entertainment headliners from Asia and around the world, and exceptional fine dining choices with an emphasis on gourmet Chinese cuisine.
