| - Had our honeymoon in Vegas this past week and we were on a pretty tight budget, but we wanted to at least be on the Strip and get to enjoy all of the usual Vegas tourist crap. So we checked out the reviews and saw Bill's was an insane value and actually had a great response as well. I had heard it was a great value years ago back when it was the Barbary Coast and it hadn't changed, so we dropped the cash and checked it out. Got a Friends and Family discount and only paid $30/night for the weekdays and $70 for Friday/Saturday. Not too bad. And the location is amazing. Across the street from Caesar's and the Bally's monorail and a short walk to everything else.
Our hotel room was great. Good size, really cute antique decorations, huge flat screen TV, partial view of the Strip, and really clean. Internet isn't free, but parking is and they have a good-sized garage for that. The casino is smoky and on the smaller side, but we loved the $2 mini-margaritas. Our bartenders loaded them up with tequila and so the value was totally worth it. Staff was friendly as well. The only knock I had was that we were pretty sure our room, while on the top floor was directly above Drai's and thus we heard a faint techno beat in our room on the weekend nights. Didn't affect our sleep though.
Next time we're on the Strip on a budget, Bill's it is. Best value on the Strip by far. How much time do you actually spend in your room in Vegas, anyway?
