When you travel on a budget, less is more.
Less money spent on a hotel room = more money to spend on food and activities.
Here is where Gold Spike comes into the picture.
For around $25 a night, you get a room for two (smoking or non, you gotta love Vegas) that is clean, bed bug-free, cable TV, a working shower and free wifi.
FREE WIFI!!!!!!
So now - I know that this price point can be scary, and if I hadn't known anything about the place in advance I don't know if I would have made the decision to stay there. But the hotel was recently remodeled, and even though it is not "first class" commodities - it was perfect for our stay. We hardly stayed in our room anyway.
Don't be scared folks. Do it! $140ish (taxes included) for 4 nights?
'nuff said.
