The deal
With so many posh nightclubs, amazing shows, and flashy, neon-lit casinos to choose from, Las Vegas is the ultimate action-packed playground for adults. A little excess spending is unavoidable on any Sin City getaway, but there’s no reason to break the bank when it comes to choosing where to stay. We've found three amazing deals at hotels right on the Strip; just book these offers soon to lock in these lucky rates.

Stratosphere Casino & Resort Hotel from $26/night
Located on the northern end of the Strip, the Stratosphere Casino & Resort Hotel is a popular and exciting hotel choice for budget-minded travelers. Rising 113 stories above the Vegas skyline, the hotel’s observation tower affords stunning 360-degree views of the city. Enjoy the magnificent neon panorama over lunch or dinner at the revolving Top of The World restaurant, then head to the hotel’s 80,000 square foot casino to try your luck on over 12,000 slot and video and poker games along with 50 Roulette, Craps, and Blackjack tables. Book one of the Stratosphere’s modernly furnished rooms by November 10th and save up to 30 percent off your entire stay, with rates starting at just $26/night.

Platinum Hotel and Spa from $109/night
For a more refined Vegas experience, the Platinum Hotel and Spa is a more upscale but affordable option with amenities that include an indoor/outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, restaurant and café/lounge, offering a unique menu of “edible martinis.” Try the Meyer Lemon-Tini, made with dark rum, meyer lemon cake, lime, coconut and ginger cookies, then head to the hotel’s elegant Well Spa for treatments that range from facials to state-of-the-art body treatments and advanced massage therapy. Each room in this all-suite boutique hotel comes equipped with kitchen and private balcony; book one by November 10th and save up to 15 percent on your stay for the starting price of $109/night.

The Bellagio from $149/night
Of all the luxury hotels on the Strip, perhaps none are so thoroughly grand and opulent as the world-famous five-star Bellagio. Modeled after the famed Lake Como resort in Italy, the hotel is situated on an 8-acre artificial lake enclosing the spectacular Fountains of Bellagio, a choreographed display of classical music and water rising as high as 240 feet in the air.
