Here is a another place you could stay at in Las vegas. It is called Terrible's Casino.
If you book a stay at Terrible's between now and January 1st, you get 25% off the cost of your stay.
Terrible's is located at 4100 Paradise Road in Las Vegas. This place is not terrible at all from what I read. Here you will find a lot of the locals. It is quite a friendly enviroment. The hotel/casino is spacious and well-lit. Although the casino is smaller than many others on the strip, it is still packed with lots of fun. They have table games, a bingo room, 945 slot machines and lots more.
They also have a cafe open 24 hours a day called the Bougainvillea Cafe.
Sounds like a great place to spend some time in Vegas.
