How we review hotels

Las Vegas Hotel FAQ

What is the best area to stay in Las Vegas?

The Las Vegas Strip is usually the best area for first-time visitors because it puts most major resorts, casinos and attractions nearby. Downtown around Fremont Street costs less and has an old-school feel, while off-Strip resorts suit drivers and repeat visitors. Compare them in our where to stay in Las Vegas guide.

Do all Las Vegas hotels charge a resort fee?

Most Strip resorts add a mandatory daily resort fee on top of the room rate, and many Downtown hotels do too. A handful don’t charge one at all. See the resort fee list by hotel and our picks for hotels without resort fees.

Is parking free at Las Vegas hotels?

Not at most big Strip resorts, where hotel guests typically pay a daily self-parking or valet charge. Several Downtown and off-Strip hotels include free self-parking for guests. Our Las Vegas parking fee guide lists what each hotel charges.

When is the cheapest time to stay in Las Vegas?

Midweek stays are almost always cheaper than weekends, and rates jump during big conventions and events. In 2025, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority figures showed July and August had the lowest average room rates of the year, while October had the highest. Our guide to the cheapest time to visit Las Vegas breaks it down month by month.

Do I need a car in Las Vegas?

Not if you stay on the Strip or Downtown. Walking, rideshare, the monorail and buses cover most visits. Rent a car only for day trips such as Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam. See Las Vegas without a car and our guide to getting from the Las Vegas airport to the Strip.
