Off-Strip Hotels in Vegas
Believe it or not, as soon as you go only a block off of Las Vegas Blvd, your nightly hotel prices will plummet. While budget-savvy travellers may like the prices of off-strip hotels, a lot do not like the inconvenience of staying off of the strip.
If you’ve never been to Vegas before, you may be thinking “what’s wrong with being a block away from the strip?!” – but that’s because you don’t realize how far a block really is in Las Vegas. Some hotels, like the Hard Rock Café, are literally only one block from the strip but are at least a 20-minute walk to the nearest on-strip hotel.
Other hotels, like the Palms, Rio and Orleans, are not within walking distance of anything and require a taxi or shuttle to get to the strip.
So why do people stay at off-strip hotels other than to save money? The great thing about these hotels is that they come with all of the normal Las Vegas resort amenities, but add a layer of peace, quiet and tranquillity since your hotel isn’t a stomping ground for every other visitor to the strip.
I’ve stayed at the Orleans before because the room was ridiculously cheap – like $50 per night. Meals at the restaurants were affordable, there were $3 beers at the bars and $5 Blackjack tables which are all almost impossible to find at the on-strip hotels. While I personally don’t typically opt for an off-strip hotel, there are definitely hotels to consider when deciding where to stay in Las Vegas.

This is super useful! I think I actually ate at the French restaurant a long time ago. I’m supposed to be going back to Las Vegas again later this year. I’m definitely going to come back to this post.
I’ve never been to Las Vegas but it is on my list for sure, and this post makes me want to book a flight right now! Thanks for sharing.
Las Vegas is definitely on my bucket list! This is really detailed and I’m sure it will come in handy soon! Would you recommend it for solo travelers though?
Hey Daisy, I would totally recommend it for solo travelers. One two separate trips I ran into lots of solo travelers; some were there for a conference so they had time to kill on the strip. There are so many sites on the strip to just wander and experience or at the casinos everyone is nice and will chat with you, and at the pools you can meet all kinds of fun people.
I’ve always been torn about Vegas. Part of me has wanted to go cause ya know, Vegas. But also not cause ya know, Vegas XD
That secret pizza sounds like it will be a lifesaver on my next trip, thank you! Also, Hexx in the Paris has bottomless mimosas!
I agree with you. Las Vegas is absolutely fascinating. I’m attracted to the family experiences including the Shark Aquarium in Mandalay Bay Beach and the Discovery Children’s Museum.
