1. Casino Royale
Casino Royale, Las Vegas, Nevada
This is a great place to gamble for cheap on the strip and to have a good time. The Blackjack is around $5 to $10 a hand, and you can find craps for $3. They have penny slots too, and the drink service isn't to bead either.
2. Stratosphere Hotel, Casino and Tower
Stratosphere Hotel, Casino and Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d114898?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $74
Although it's at the far end of the strip, the stratosphere consistantly has really low priced rooms that are pretty nice. They run anywhere from $20/night to $90/night and are very clean.
3. Slots-A-Fun Casino
Slots-A-Fun Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
One of the smaller hotel/casino's on the strip, the Slots A Fun offers $0.75 margaritas that are pretty big and pretty tasty too
4. Casino at the Rio
Casino at the Rio All-Suite Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
Just a little off the strip the Rio has a free "sky parade" and a very entertaining floor show everyday, on the hour, starting around 4pm. There are dancers, mimes, slowns, and floats that hang from the ceiling.
5. Bellagio Water Show
Bellagio Fountains, Las Vegas, Nevada
This is an amazing water show set to music that plays every night starting around 7pm and then every hour thereafter. Not only is it beautiful to watch but it's free.
6. Casino at the Four Queens Hotel
Fab Four Live, Las Vegas, Nevada
You can get a shrimp cocktail at this downtown casino/hotel for only $0.99 and the steak and egss special in only $2.99
7. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada
Caesars is one of the biggest casino's in vegas and they have a lot of cool stuff to checkout for free. There is a show every half hour or so in the collosseum that features moving/talking staues and lighting effects. There are also the Forum shops, where you can go in all the fancy stores like Louis Vuitton and Versace and browse around
8. Riviera Hotel & Casino
Riviera Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d97735?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $83
If you are looking for a great location on a small budget, then this is the place for you. The riviera is centrally located on the strip but costs only about $40 to $100/night. The rooms are very basic, with basically just beds, bathroom, and TV. But it's not too bad for the price
