Thanks all for great info...I am also going Feb. 19th-28th and staying at The Orleans and will walk around to all these locations to scope them out. The Orleans charged me an $11 per night resort fee by the way...I paid about $760 for the 9 nights at Orleans in Feb. which includes taxes and the resort fee. Looks like all the suggestions in this thread will be better deals for July....

It's not disgusting and if you are a degen like me who hears the blackjack table calling his name at 3 in the morning, it is a good idea to sleep in a room that doesn't hover over a casino.

I'm not a degen either, but I am a cheap bastid.

Dunno if you've ever been to the Orleans, but there's really nowhere you want to walk to from there. The strip club across the street sucks, In-n-out is a long walk through a dicey area, and everyplace else is a CIS episode in the making. Doubt there's much to see at the sex shop across the other street either.

Yeah, I have been to the Orleans. I actually lived in Vegas from July 2008 through Nov 2010 but I was living there and honestly didn't know the prices of hotels. I also was rarely sober so my time there is a little bit of a fog but that's another story .

I chose the Orleans for this trip because I know the rooms are nice and cheaper than anywhere on the strip (and I wont stay in the Imperial Palace <puke>). I will be playing mostly at Venetian and Wynn and can shuttle it for free from the Orleans to the strip.

I was unaware the Gold Coast was as cheap as people are saying or I would have stayed there. Extended Stay America seems like a good deal too. I will check both of them out when I am there in Feb for my July trip.

From May 28th-June 11th (two weeks) I was quoted 1300 plus around 500 for resort fees out the door price 1803 Is that a bad rate? Their reasoning is 65 a day weekdays 185 friday saturday sunday would have to get break down. I am willing to pay a little extra to be where the tourney is held. Is it less expensive for the main event. My plan it to expand it to the main event but leave it at only two weeks if I'm having a horrible summer

lol that's getting pretty much crushed. $65 on weekday's at Rio is almost impossible

I got 5 nights comp at the Rio during the series and I was gold lol last year

$40/night PH for WSOP booking in advance.

$65 at the Rio beats the best price I can get.

I was up at 2am and went to the Rio casino from my room upstairs during the WSOP. I won a few hundred playing baccarat and decided to secretly video the blackjack and baccarat action from my smart phone attached to my hip. I was walking around the casino with 8 black chips ($100 each) appearing as a degenerate gambler looking to hop into a game. Here is my hidden video, enjoy!

Rio July 6th week is like 70 a day during week and if you stay a single weekend you are averaging out at about 100 a day. If you factor in the minor benefits of not having to cab it to Rio every day it's a pretty good deal. The enormous benefits of having access to your room if you want to rest, eat, shower, not having to carry too much of your bankroll, etc etc, makes Rio a great deal.

Rooms are not that expensive because it is still the vegas desert in July so aside from us poker players not many tourists want to go that time of year.

If that's too pricey Gold Coast in right next door.

rio is dirt cheap as it is? think i got it for 52 a night last year?

Currently? Im not seeing it. Do you need to wait until the schedule is out to get that rate? I would like to book there right away, I love that location

FYP

some good info in this thread i will be there from june 18 on and haven't nailed down my lodging yet.

booked Palms Place for $69/nt weekdays during WSOP using this code:

I just booked July 4th -11th at Gold Coast. They are running deals during WSOP. It comes out to less than $600 for 8 nights after taxes and resort fees are added.

Thanks for info on the gold coast just booked 5 days. Great thread!
