You guys , it's Ruby and today I'm going to be bringing you my top five best hotels for your money in Las Vegas .
These hotels aren't necessarily going to be the cheapest on strip , but rather the ones that I think have amazing value for the price .
The first hotel we're going to talk about is going to be here at the locker .
Luxor is a really great value property with some seriously affordable room rates .
When I'm looking at price comparisons for all of these hotels today , just know that I am including resort fees and taxes .
And I picked a random week in April .
I found the Luxor mid April to be anywhere between $82 total to up to maybe $100 .
It's rare for luxe to even reach $100 .
That is such a good price per night .
And if you're on a tight budget , this is a great option .
The rooms here are very clean , they have been recently redone and renovated .
Now , I will say I have stayed in both the pyramid and the tower .
The tower rooms are going to be maybe $10 more a night and I totally think it's worth it .
There are two different types of tower room .
There is the standard and the elite , they're about the same size .
The main difference is the elite rooms will have a wet bar , a closet and a mini fridge .
You do have a better bathroom in these rooms .
But the access is really important if you stay in the pyramid like we did and you're in the middle of the hall , it is an incredibly far walk from the elevators .
So I do recommend the tower over the pyramid , but both rooms are really nice for the price .
The pool at luxury is fabulous .
It's really large .
There's a lot of chairs everywhere .
They have hot tubs .
This is absolutely a good hotel .
If you're coming for a pool vacation , you will not regret the pool area .
It's great .
The casino here is nice .
It's really nicely laid out .
It's reasonably sized , but it's not huge .
You're not going to like bump into a lot of people .
It's not crazy crowded or anything , but it's just a nice solid layout and you are close to a lot of other casinos which we'll talk about in a second dining .
You do have some decent options here .
I would recommend the buffet at Lux , but they have public house and Diablos Cantina , which are both really decent and both of those have my Vegas rewards where you can get a good discount on your meals .
You're also connected to Excalibur and you're connected to Mandalay Bay inside by a walkway .
But you can also take the tram .
And if you're trying to get more towards center strip , I would jump on the tram and have it take you over to the Excalibur entrance and then you're right next to New York .
New York .
Favorite thing about the Lux is the lobby .
It is so pretty and it feels like Vegas when you walk in , it really sets the tone for your vacation when you come into the Lexar lobby .
Now I'm gonna give you guys a con for each of the hotels and for Lux it is gonna be location .
You are gonna be away from the action .
There's not really any foot traffic out front overall .
This is gonna be my recommendation for you if you are on a really tight budget and you're looking for a middle of the road option .
This is a good one .
I think you will like Luxor the next hotel on our list wins the absolute best location for your budget award that is here at Planet Hollywood right in the center of the action with great proximity to some cheap eats .
Planet Hollywood absolutely kills it with their location .
And I'm actually surprised that you can get these rooms for as affordable as you can .
I saw rates as low as $98 to 100 and $45 altogether .
That sort of the average is right in between 100 to 100 and $50 .
Which for being center strip is fantastic .
I like the rooms here .
They're really nice when we stayed , our room was very high quality for what we were paying .
We had a big tub .
The bathroom was huge .
They have fridges here and you can upgrade really easily upon in Hollywood .
This is one where I've heard you guys tell me you use the $20 trick and it worked like a charm a lot .
We used the $20 trick here .
Got a really nice upgrade into a suite .
So that is definitely worth a try dining .
Here is so convenient .
Now , there are restaurants inside Pun in Hollywood itself .
They have Gordon Ramsey's burger here you are connected to the Miracle Mile Blondie's la salsa Ocean one .
All of those were on my cheap breakfast list because you can get like $6 breakfasts if you want to be able to eat cheap on your vacation .
You are in a perfect spot .
You are also right next door to a CV .
S .
If you need to pop in and grab water , drinks , snacks , you're going to get them without over paying .
It's fantastic .
I love the casino here .
I think it's really fun , high ceilings .
It's got a good vibe .
They have a pretty good variety of games here as well and it's always busy and lively because of the location .
So the only con to planet Hollywood is definitely going to be the pool area .
The layout is very weird .
If you want a chair by the pool , you have to pay .
Otherwise the free chairs are all really far away from the pools and you have to leave your stuff there , which I do not like .
That is my only drawback planet Hollywood is a wonderful budget hotel option strictly because it is honestly the perfect location .
I cannot believe that they can give you rooms as cheap as they do here at Planet Hollywood .
The next hotel on our list is great for the young party crowd .
We are talking about the link hotel and casino , great rates and a lot of fun .
Now , when we're talking about the link on this list , know that this is the next cheapest from the lux .
We're talking rooms as low as 83 to $150 a night .
The rooms are excellent .
They design these really well , super modern , really like clean floor plan with a lot of places to put storage , the bathrooms are super nice .
This is also another property that it's easy to get an upgrade and the suites here are really nice as well .
The pool area is a party .
This is basically a day club .
It is 21 up only and it is loud and wild .
So that is one thing to know if you're coming to relax , you don't want to stay at the link .
It's not relaxing .
It's like wild all the time .
Casino is super lively here as well .
It's a little oddly laid out , there's kind of games all over the place , but like the table games are always super loud and crazy and fun .
They have the o'shea's Casino in here .
Dining is pretty good here at link .
They've definitely kept in mind that they have like a younger crowd .
Hash House is going to give you huge breakfasts and they're for a really reasonable price .
And they also have a guy fites restaurant in here , but you have all of the dining of the link promenade next to you as well .
There are some cons here , as I said , this is the hotel .
So if that is not what you want , you're definitely going to want to avoid this one .
It's rowdy .
The other major con is the elevator banks here .
Wow .
Do they get crowded if you're watching this video and you're in your twenties and you're like , we're going to party Vegas can't handle us .
Like go to the link .
You're gonna love it .
Honorable mention here .
If the link's location sounds really good to you and you don't want to party be that hard .
Take a look at .
It's kind of like the older people option to the link .
It's a lot less loud , a little bit of an older crowd , but nice rooms and like decent dining and again , a good location .
Pool here sucks really bad .
Just know that but is not a bad option for your money as well if you want kind of something like the link but a little bit less crazy .
And the next hotel on our list may surprise you .
You may not think that this one is budget friendly , but we are talking about resorts world specifically the Hilton Tower .
This is luxury on a budget resorts world is definitely the most high end feeling hotel on this list .
We are specifically talking about the Hilton Tower rooms here .
I have seen them as low as 100 and 29 to about 100 and $85 .
That is such a good price point for these rooms which feel very luxury .
They feel super high end with the blues and the gold fixtures , the uh toiletries here .
So top not you have a mini fridge included in the room .
It's fancy like it feels swanky for 100 and 30 bucks a night .
That's crazy .
Resorts World has one of my all time favorite pool areas .
I love it .
It's a bunch of smaller pools .
Each one kind of has its own vibe .
Very relaxing .
The VIP pool area with that drop off like hanging pool area is so cool .
So if you are looking for a pool vacation .
Absolutely .
Resorts World would be a fantastic option .
You would love it .
I like the casino at Resorts World a lot .
I think the Players Club here is good .
If you are planning to do Vegas a lot and you use the G rewards , you get comps , we gamble here , you know , relatively frequently we get comp offers all the time to stay and I love the selection .
They have a lot of games here that I don't see everywhere else .
We're here to play slots .
Like I do think Resorts World has some good options .
Dining at Resorts World is out of this world .
Awesome .
So they have this whole food hall which has a bunch of different Asian cuisines .
They have the restaurant row in the back .
I mean , they have , which is delicious .
Carver steak is delicious .
They have Crossroads kitchen which is a plant based restaurant .
They have got so many options and things to try here .
You could stay here for several nights and not eat at every restaurant .
There is a day club , there's a nightclub , several high end lounges and bars hang out in .
If you're doing like a quick weekend in Vegas and maybe you've been to Vegas before and you're just trying to find a fun hotel .
Resorts World would totally have you covered , you would not have to leave .
We have to talk about the con here and that is definitely going to be the location .
It's not one where you can just walk outside and go pop into more hotels .
That is definitely the drawback here .
And I would say it's the only drawback , especially if you can get a cheap rate .
Resorts world feels super high end for its price and I definitely think it's worth a try for your money .
I want to give a quick honorable mention here if you are looking at North Strip even further up is Sahara .
Now this one is getting an honorable mention because I don't think it's worth it for everybody .
However , they often run a where you don't pay a resort fee and you can get the rooms here for crazy cheap .
This whole property has recently been redone and it looks really beautiful on the inside .
All of the dining is good .
They just did their 21 up day club area and it's really pretty .
It's a small footprint .
If you're someone who doesn't want to be around a big crowd and doesn't want a huge mega resort , Zahara could be a good option for you .
So maybe consider that one .
Yeah , the next hotel on our list is New York , New York .
Ever since they started renovating their rooms , this has become my number one pick for first timers .
So New York , New York is gonna be the last hotel we talk about this one , I think might be my new top recommendation for someone who's a first timer coming to Vegas and I wasn't even gonna put New York , New York on the list , but they have just re renovated their rooms .
Now , room costs here anywhere between 98 to 100 and $50 all in these newly renovated rooms look great .
I don't love that .
They didn't do a lot to the bathrooms .
But despite that , like the rest of the rooms look so nice and modern and fresh .
The pool area here is fun .
It's not anything crazy but it is a good pool .
There's tons of chairs .
I never have a problem like finding a chair in the sun , which I appreciate and people are here having a great time .
The vibe is good at this pool area .
New York , New York has one of my absolute favorite casinos .
I love gambling here .
One of my favorite high limit rooms is also here .
Dining here .
They kill it as well .
You have the streets of New York which has a bunch of different cheap eats options .
You can grab the pizza and beer combo at Rio's is top notch .
They've also got some good sit down restaurants here at the Mexican restaurant .
Gonzalez .
Y Gonzalez is in here .
That's good .
They have nine fine Irishmen .
You can get a my Vegas coupon for here .
The portions are huge , super shareable and they have happy hour deals that go on over here , you can do beer house , which is outside in the shop area .
They're killing it at New York .
New York .
As far as food options , you are not going to run out of places to eat and most of it's going to be really reasonably priced location is good here .
This is South Strip .
To me it is like the central hub of South Strip like New York .
New York is always happening .
You guys , the front of New York , New York is always busy .
So what are the cons here ?
Well , like I said , the bathrooms could have used a better renovation in my opinion and just know that um this one can draw families .
So if you're not wanting to be around little kids , like especially in the pool area , there can definitely be kids .
That is something to be aware of for some of you .
Otherwise though , like this is a pretty solid option for most people .
If people are like , I've never been to Vegas .
I want something somewhat affordable and like decent New York .
New York is a pretty big crowd pleaser in my opinion .
And that's why it's always so busy and so lively .
People really like it .
I'm going to give an honorable mention here to Park M G M which almost made this list , but it is a little bit more expensive than New York , New York .
I love Park M G M because it's non smoking .
So the air quality in here is awesome .
The rooms feel really high end .
They're nicely done .
The bathroom rocks , this has the best shower pressure of any of them on this list .
But the rooms are a little bit small park M G M feels really high end for its price point .
It's also a good option .
So I wanted to mention it here for you guys .
So that is my list of the top hotels for your money .
I have full reviews on every single one of these properties that you can go and check out if you are interested in learning more about one .
Thank you so much for watching this .
I will catch you guys all in my next one .
