When Vacationing In Las Vegas You Have A Choice – A Hotel Off The Strip Does Offer Advantages

Everyone knows of the Las Vegas Strip; the lights, the sights, the sounds and unfortunately the crowds and the traffic. The home of big hotels with thousands of rooms such as MGM Grand and The Venetian. Some of the best dining to be found anywhere and high prices to match. World class entertainment. And of course the casinos, with table games and slot machines as far as the eye can see. But when it comes time to plan your vacation, staying off the strip can present some advantages.

Most of the hotels and casinos located off the Strip are referred to as ‘local’s casinos.’ This is due to the fact that locals, those of us who live and work in Las Vegas, do not frequent the Strip casinos that often. We prefer to stay close to home and have found that many of these casinos offer amenities similar to those on the Strip. And the best part is the prices you pay for these amenities are less than what you would pay in the better known casinos on the Strip.

The Green Valley Ranch Resort is by far one of the best off-strip hotels in Las Vegas.

Actually, Green Valley Ranch is not located in Las Vegas, but in the city of Henderson. It is easy to travel to the Strip either by car or taxi and your no more than 15 minutes away. Room rates generally start from $139 a night, of course this depends on what time of year you are planning to travel to Las Vegas. The décor of the rooms is comfy and contemporary without being overly modern and intimidating. When you reserve your room and when you check-in be sure to ask for a room that offers a view of the Strip.

There are so many dining options at Green Valley Ranch you will never need to have a meal at the same place twice. On the high-end you will find Hank’s, a steakhouse and martini bar. Or you may prefer some Asian fare or sushi at China Spice. If an Italian meal is more of you liking then head over to Terre Verde. Sure there aren’t big-name celebrity chef’s attached to these restaurants but you also won’t pay the big prices for those chefs, as you will at the restaurants located on the Strip.

One of the local’s favorites at Green Valley Ranch is The Original Pancake House. A Las Vegas institution since 1953, The Original Pancake House serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and it is all reasonably priced. But as the name suggests they are famous for their breakfasts, especially their huge omelets and the incredible variety of pancakes. Whether you plan to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner you must order breakfast.

The Feast Buffet and the Grand Cafe both offer great value and quality food. The buffet can get very busy on the weekends and in the evenings. Try to stop by for breakfast or lunch during the week or arrive early for dinner. When the local’s are out on force on the weekends, there will always be a wait, but usually you will never wait longer than 20 to 30 minutes. The menu at the Grand Cafe covers breakfast, lunch and dinner and they are open 24 hours.

After the sun sets you can put on your dancing shoes or if you just prefer a cocktail or two you have options without traveling to the Strip. How about a hearty beer at Quinn’s Irish Pub or a drink in the center of the casino at the Drop Bar. If you wish for a little more excitement head outdoors to Whiskey Beach and party under the stars and around the pools. You can even take off those dancing shoes and run your toes thought the sandy beach.

If you want to take in a show you probably should head to the Strip. The only entertainment at Green Valley Ranch, besides the movie theaters, is the occasional concert in the Ovation club or at Whiskey Beach. If you are looking for something on the caliber of Cirque du Soleil or Celine Dion plan a evening on the Strip and book your tickets well in advance.

Shopping at Green Valley Ranch does not come close to the offerings on the Strip, but you can spend a nice relaxing afternoon at The District. Located adjacent to the casino, The District has small shops and big name stores such as Sharper Image and REI all in an outdoor setting. There are also many restaurants most offering outdoor terraces so you can enjoy your meal under that warm Las Vegas sun.

If you plan on doing some gambling during your stay one of the first things you should do is sign-up for their players club. The Boarding Pass, as they call it, gives you more generous rewards than the casinos on the Strip. You can even sign-up before you leave home on their website. The rewards can add up fast and who wouldn’t like a free meal?

While you are visiting their website to sign-up for the player’s club it would be worth your while to give your email address. This can be especially beneficial if your travel dates are flexible or if you are not yet sure when you will be traveling to Las Vegas. Periodically they will send you promotional offers for great package deals or special room rates.

Booking a hotel room off the Strip does not mean you have to sacrifice luxury, comfort or convenience. The Green Valley Ranch Resort is a prime example of this. It does mean you can have all the benefits offered by the big-name hotels, like Wynn Las Vegas or Bellagio. You can always take that excursion to the Strip, but you can also escape the big crowds and retreat to a more relaxed setting. And the best part, your pocket book will have a little more cash in it so you can enjoy a few more hands of blackjack.

Why Hotels Offer Las Vegas Vacation Specials

From flashy advertisements paid for by travel agents to commercials created by travel websites, there is no shortage of Las Vegas vacation specials. But why do these specials exist in the first place? They exist for three main reasons: to help counteract the distances that many visitors have to travel to reach Las Vegas, to create incentives to experience the city, and to attract celebrities that in turn attract regular tourists.

Millions of tourists crowd Las Vegas casinos and hotels every year, pouring millions of dollars into the local economy. However, very few of these visitors pay full price for their rooms, meals, or entertainment. The truth is that if everyone had to pay full price for these amenities, then the total number of visitors would be much less thus affecting the overall economy.  This is because, for so many visitors, a trip to Las Vegas is an expensive and time consuming process. Located in the middle of a desert, the climate is hot and dry and unforgiving. Because of the location and climate, a relative few people call Las Vegas home. It is therefore necessary for most tourists to travel there. This travel is often very expensive. To help encourage tourism and counteract the expenses associated with travel, Las Vegas hotels and casinos offer inclusive vacation specials.  These inclusive deals can combine the cost of a room, a meal, and entertainment into one reduced price.

Once the tourists have been lured to the town, they still may need some incentive to leave the action of the casinos. While the casinos draw people to town, the local economy would crumble if people did not also spend money in restaurants, on shows, and at retail stores. Thus, most Las Vegas vacation specials include discounts to retail chains or buy one get one free offers to performances or shows.  It is important to remember that if one aspect of the economy falters, then the tourist base would be significantly impacted.  Therefore, if the high end restaurants that line hotel lobbies cannot find customers, then fewer people will ultimate spend money in the casinos. Therefore, hotels offer specials to ensure that people not only visit Las Vegas, but also attend and spend money at the other attractions.

These specials are not only offered to the typical visitor, but also the visitor with celebrity status. Part of the mystic of Las Vegas is number of celebrities that visit the city on a regular basis. From the next big NBA star to the led actor in that blockbuster movie, these high end tourists spend huge amounts of money in casinos, restaurants, and clubs. However, each hotel wants to boast the fact that these celebrities stay in their hotel.  Thus, certain specials are offered to them. These include complete complimentary high end rooms, meals, and drinks.  These kind of accommodations help draw the interest of hundreds if not thousands of tourists.  These tourists all spend money and increase the relative economy of the establishment.  Thus, regaining the money lost form the specials offered.

Las Vegas hotels offer deals to help increase clients. By increasing clients they can increase revenues, thus recouping any losses associated with the deals. These specials draw people to shows, clubs, and restaurants, and ultimately increase the amount of tourists drawn to Las Vegas.

Do Las Vegas casinos offer free limo rides to & from a strip club? How do I get this Service?

I have read on several yelp reviews that casinos often offer free limo service to strip clubs, namely the Spearmint Rhino. How do i obtain this service, and is the return ride free? I am staying at the MGM grand, if that helps.

I have also heard that taxis offer free rides to strip clubs, but are the return rides also free?
