The Strat Hotel, Casino & Skypod
The Strat (formerly Stratosphere) at the northern end of the Strip is anchored by a 1,149-foot tower — the tallest in the US west of the Mississippi — with thrill rides at the top and the SkyJump bungee jump. Room rates are some of the most affordable on the Strip, and the restaurant on the observation deck offers impressive panoramic views of the entire Las Vegas valley.
Circus Circus Las Vegas
Circus Circus is one of the most family-friendly hotels on the Strip with a permanent circus big top featuring free live circus acts daily, an indoor Adventuredome amusement park, and affordable room rates that make it a popular budget choice.

Excalibur Hotel & Casino
Excalibur's medieval castle exterior is one of the most recognizable on the Strip, and its affordable room rates consistently make it one of the most popular budget options for first-time visitors. The Fantasy Faire arcade area and Tournament of Kings dinner show are family favorites, and the hotel's location next to the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand areas is excellent.
El Cortez Hotel & Casino
The oldest continuously operating casino resort in Las Vegas, El Cortez has been operating in downtown Las Vegas since 1941 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Cabana Suites tower offers well-appointed modern rooms at budget prices, and the hotel's vintage character, cheap drinks, and loose slot machines keep loyal regulars coming back. Downtown Fremont Street is right at the door.
Main Street Station Casino Hotel
Main Street Station in downtown Las Vegas is a charming Victorian-themed hotel with an impressive collection of antiques and curiosities including a piece of the Berlin Wall in a men's restroom. The hotel consistently receives praise for its Triple 7 Brew Pub with handcrafted beers, generous poker rules, and excellent value for a downtown location within walking distance of Fremont Street.
Luxor Hotel & Casino
The Luxor's iconic black glass pyramid and 315,000-watt skybeam (the brightest beam in the world) make it one of Las Vegas's most recognizable landmarks. Room rates are competitive, and the hotel's southern Strip location is convenient for T-Mobile Arena, Allegiant Stadium, and MGM Grand. The Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Bodies: The Exhibition are permanent attractions within.
