An off strip hotel in Las Vegas can run the gamut from uber-cheap and unpretentious to flamboyant casinos that redefine ostentatious. Those that stay at a Las Vegas hotel off the strip usually do it on purpose, to avoid the crowds that get in the way of the video poker machines, or because they are tired of the same old flashiness that the Las Vegas strip has to offer. Or, it could be the opposite, as casinos such as the Hard Rock, the Marriott or the Palms are so overwhelming, that often times the hotels on the strip pale in comparison. There’s a reason that movie stars and athletes habitually congregate at the Hard Rock, and it’s not because of its noted table games or convenient location.
The majority of these casinos, however, are on the other end of the spectrum. People who stay at Sams Town or Santa Fe Station or Arizona Charlie’s are looking for a much different type of vacation compared to most of the city’s tourists. They like their cheap food, low limit gambling and not having to put up with a bunch of recently turned 21-year-olds on spring break. And, for the most part, that is exactly what they’ll get. That’s the beauty of most any off strip hotel in Las Vegas. You won’t find anything too exciting or visually stimulating - just a cheap, clean room and easy access to the casino floor. For most tourists, this is enough. If you are going to stay in a Las Vegas hotel off the strip, chances are that it is a Station property – Boulder Station is the most popular of the bunch, though the not-southwestern-at-all Santa Fe Station is also nice. These hotels offer the rudiments of a great time in Vegas, but the rest will have to be on you.
