Las Vegas Hotel - Please assist

I need to take the family to Las Vegas for an event. The event is being held at Red Rock Resort, the cost is out of my budget for the whole trip, so we will stay the night of the event, but need nice, affordable hotels.

I have never been to Las Vegas, but i am not interested in Gambling, my kids are very young.

Any suggestions appreciated, especially the helpful ones

Sun Coast Hotel is about 1 mile from Red Rock Casino.
Usually can get room for $29-$49/nite, but higher on fri/sat nite.
It is decent place in good neighborhood but nothing fancy.
Go to their website to see deals and photos.

I'm showing rates from $39.99/nite but higher fri/sat for suncoastcasino
call 1-866-636-7111 and mention offer code Y12SVFA
The phone reps are often negotiable...tell them you need a lower rate or won't book it.

Thanks,

I call Suncoast Hotel and was told someone will get back to me. In the meantime my wife looking into Palace Station. Does anyone know of suites, not sure it will fit in budget, but wife wanted me to look, and the ones i looked at, ranging from ($90-$110) do not have good reviews.

Thanks for the help .

I think i may ask Suncoast, if they come back with a good price, if they have adjoining rooms and the cost.

Please keep suggestions coming.

Please keep suggestions coming.Yes, whole threads dedicated to this over in Travel. Read them.Here's some additional helpful suggestions:

Do a little research first (in the Travel forum and online) and post results (FW members are not a travel agents)
Provide at least a modicum of information (FW members are not mind readers)

e.g. -

" need to take the family to Las Vegas for an event..." (and we are to guess the dates or is there just one event all year in LV??)
" the cost is out of my budget" (a budget which is Homer Simpson's or Mitt Romney's??)
" my kids are very young" (6 months old, 3 years old, 10 years old??)

etc., etc. etc.

I often sit on the sideline without making comments about travel requests because I've been in the same situation but at the very least do some research and tell us what you came up with. Like Jamie said I won't repeat it over again.

Red Rock is indeed a beautiful resort. It is very far west of Las Vegas so understand where it is and how you will get to/from the hotel.

Have you called them and asked for a cheaper rate? If not, what have you got to lose?

There does seem to be something big happening in Las Vegas over your dates since some of the deals I've seen block out your dates.

Your stats don't support that assertion.

can i book a vacation deal with Priceline for air/hotel. for the CHEAPEST hotel... BUT NEVER EVER CHECK IN THE HOTEL? reason being is ..My friend has a comped room at Harrahs,. the Priceline deal for air/hotel to Harrahs is like $250 more. this way we get the cheaper airfare, and FREE hotel stayat a better hotel.
