Labor Day Insanity: Downtown Is Still The Cheapest
It’s no surprise that rooms are still available for this Labor Day Weekend. But if you plan to make Las Vegas your end-of-summer, last-hurrah destination, you’d do well to book now as room rates are creeping up.
That’s true especially among the middle- and lower-tier properties around town. According to Expedia.com, you can still get a smokin’ deal at properties downtown (average room rate at the The Plaza for the weekend is $45 per night; the El Cortez is $51 per night and the Four Queens is $74 per night), but some of the less desirable places on the Strip have shot up past the $100-per-night mark. Circus Circus alone stands below that benchmark at a reasonable $96 per night for the three-day weekend, while places like Excalibur are going for $124, Imperial Palace for $127 and Sahara for $112.

Downtown is Deal Central as Labor Day Weekend Nears
As we’re accustomed to seeing these days, rates are pretty much all over the map for the last big holiday weekend of the sultry summer season. The good news: there are plenty of rooms still available in Vegas over Labor Day Weekend. The great news: there is some serious value to be had that weekend, too. Here’s a glimpse of what’s currently available at The absolute lowest rates in the resort corridor seem to be those on offer at downtown’s Gold Spike. It ain’t glamorous, folks, but it claims a certain old-school Vegas appeal in the eyes of some people. Meanwhile, average rates there over Labor Day Weekend (which we’re identifying as the three nights from Friday, September 4, until Monday, September 7) are a practically laughably low $40 per night.
