Trying to find reasonable weekend prices in Las Vegas can be tricky. When planning a weekend getaway be flexible with dates, and take a look for last-minute deals. Staying just off The Strip, like at The Signature Hotel, is just as convenient as staying on The Strip. Everything is connected with motorized pedestrian walkways and air conditioned paths through the hotels.

The best part of The Signature Hotel is that it’s a hotel which caters to everyone from families to couples. With a kitchenette (minus an oven), it’s easy to save money on eating out, and the spacious rooms have partitioned-off living and sleeping quarters. You are able to visit the hotel’s pools or head next door to the multi-pool and lazy river complex at the MGM Grand hotel.

Visiting Las Vegas in autumn is one of the best times to go. It’s after the hotel pool party scene, but the weather is still in the 80s and enjoyable for a day out at the pool.

When planning what hotel to stay at in Las Vegas take a look at its location to other sights you’re going to visit. The Strip is very large, and it’s nice to stay in the general area you’re going to hang out in. If that’s not an option, keep in mind that taxi cabs are plentiful and a short ride to anywhere near The Strip.

A great tip for booking shows is to head to your hotel concierge. Chances are they have specials for shows that are on that night.

Travelzoo Tip: The 4-star BlueChip Vegas at The Signature has discounted rates to $79 per night for stays Sundays-Thursdays through February, and weekends are $60 more per night. This offer includes $320 in extras, such as a bottle of Skyy vodka, VIP club passes to four nightclubs including Haze, The Bank, Savile Row, LAX and Pure plus early check-in or late checkout based on availability.
