As Dr. David G. Schwartz has more or less said, why drop $39/night at the SahaRiviCircus when the folks at Caesars Entertainment can fix you up with a Go Room and a Strip view for $45? (A friend of mine stayed at Bally’s a couple of weeks ago and got hit up with $17 in charges for his in-room safe and wi-fi, so beware hidden “resort fees.”) According to HotelChatter.com, you’ll have to put up with some uncleanliness that is symptomatic of Loveman-era Harrah’s, er, Caesars. But I suppose if we’re going to enjoy low-end rates at mid-market hotels, a Sahara-like experience is the near-inevitable tradeoff.
By the bye, LVA can go HotelChatter.com quite a bit better. It’s part of a new LasVegasAdvisor.com feature that connects readers to a plethora of offers. Happy hunting!
(A Flamingo marketing rep replies: After some research, Flamingo does not have a resort fee, but charges for other things like wifi or a safe, but it’s not required that you pay for these. Resort fees are forced and added to your room charge every day.)
