Chapter 3: Sorting out the hotels
3.6 Recommended hotels....
We prefer to stay in a 3-Star, 4-Star, or 5-Star hotel. Here are our ratings of the major hotels on (or slightly off) the strip ...and those in downtown. Note that some of these strip hotels are not in the "center strip." We do not recommend the 2-Star or 1-Star hotels, but we are listing them below. Many travelers say they represent an excellent value since their cost is less ...and in some cases MUCH less.
Keep in mind that these are OUR ratings based on personal experience and observation ...and in some cases they differ with other rating services. Our ratings are based on room quality, service, value, location and overall hotel complex amenities. You can find other Las Vegas hotel ratings here.
We are also listing the toll free number of each hotel – something that many booking sites do not do since they do not want you calling the hotel looking for a better deal.
