Viva Las Vegas

My Las Vegas conference was being held at the Mandalay Bay resort and they extended a conference attendee rate of $112.00. This was a nice discount off of their regular rates but I just need a clean comfortable sleeping room so I decided to shop around.

Wanting to stay fairly close to the conference hotel I priced the nearby “on the strip” hotels and discovered rates ranging from $60.00 a night and up.

I took my research one step further and looked at the smaller non casino properties situated a few blocks off the strip.

Motel 6 and America’s Best Inn both located on Tropicana and an easy 7 minute stroll to the strip priced in at $35.00 and $30.00 a night respectively. Both of these hotels are basically located across the street from the main entrance of the MGM so it’s a great location for the budget conscious traveler.

No perks just clean comfortable & affordable lodging.
What I saved on this trip’s accommodation will allow me to catch another seminar next year and not exceed my professional development allowance.
