RECOMMENDED HOTELS and Accommodations:

The “deals” provided by some of the hotels were not that great, but looking around we found that these links below will provide you with more affordable options than the deals that the hotels quoted us:

Airbnb-

www.Airbnb.com

Cheap Hotels and Youth Hostels (if you are doing this on a budget, motels and hostels are very convenient to the Mandalay Bay and you won’t be paying the higher price of a hotel/casino:

http://www.hotels.com/search/search.html?pos=HCOM_US&resolved-location=CITY%3A1504033%3AUNKNOWN%3AUNKNOWN&destination-id=1504033&q-destination=Las+Vegas%2C+Nevada%2C+United+States+of+America&q-rooms=1&q-room-0-adults=2&q-room-0-children=0&sort-order=PRICE

If you do want to stay in a Casino style hotel, here is a great way to compare prices and these are good sites. Please note that most of the casino hotels also add on a “resort” fee. We believe that Excalibur does not have a resort fee, but you should research. Here are some “price comparison” booking sites:

ALSO THIS JUST CAME IN FROM SOMEONE WHO BOUGHT THEIR HOTEL/FLIGHTS HERE: Fantastic vacation packages to Vegas leaving early morning Friday, there by lunch time and flying home early morning Monday. There are 14 hotels for three nights, with round trip air included. Starting at $340 to $450 for anyone who might contact you looking… Here is the website: www.resortvacationstogo.com.
