How to decide where to stay
When deciding where to stay, you will weigh several factors, such as the areas you will visit, where the hotel is in relation to the casino, actual room rates, your travel schedule and how many people you are traveling with.
Being close to a casino does not always make a hotel the right choice. You can also take into account your sightseeing plans and access to the other places you want to visit.
Room rates change, so check the latest price when you book.
Check each hotel's official information for room types, facilities and breakfast terms before you book.
