Find a cheap room for spring break in Las Vegas
Before You Plan Your Spring Break

Swimming Pools
It’s Las Vegas so you most likely will be at the pool, as long as the weather cooperates. If you decided to go cheap have no fear, it’s quite possible that a few thousand of your college aged peers did as well. While the evening will bring clubs and bars the afternoon is pool time and that is just as good as any nightclub in Las Vegas.
My choice for best Spring break pool is surprising to many but logical. The nice pools in Las Vegas usually come attached to an expensive hotel room. If you can afford the room rates, the pools at the Mandalay Bay, the Mirage and the MGM Grand will be great but if you are on a budget you’ll end up elsewhere.
The Tropicana is where you should set your sights upon. The pool at the Tropicana Hotel Las Vegas is easily the best place for spring break budgets. The pool is huge and you can always find those budget minded college co-eds roaming the shallow waters near the swim up blackjack.
Lunch/Dinner on a Budget in Las Vegas
I have to remind you that even though you are on a budget during Spring Break in Las Vegas you must eat. The biggest Spring Break mistakes usually start with a few missed meals and nothing in your stomach to help absorb the large doses of alcohol that will get consumed.
Usually I include the Las Vegas Deli circuit in my suggestions for cheap food. It’s a no brainer, huge sandwiches that can be split amongst a few people. You could try:
- Carnegie Deli at the Mirage
- Canters at the Treasure Island
- Stage Deli at the MGM Grand
- Stage Deli at the Forum Shops
- Backstage Deli at the Luxor
- JJ's Boulangerie in Paris Las Vegas
What if you do not want to spend your time congregating around the salted cured meats while in Las Vegas.

Cheap Las Vegas Nightlife for Spring Break
Las Vegas nightlife can get very expensive so you need a plan to conserve as much money as possible while still having an incredible time. You need the bars and nightclubs with little to no cover charge and the potential for a life changing experience. The cheapest place on the strip with the least amount of pretentious people and the most amount of potential for fun is the Carnaval Court at Harrah’s. This place is festive and you can easily spend the entire day there. No line in front where you have to grease some guy $50 just to get in and reasonable drink prices in a fun atmosphere.
After hours in Las Vegas is huge these days and at Spring Break it’s time for you to “kick it Old School” at the Peppermill fireside lounge. When others are headed to the flashy Disneyland strip after hour’s clubs you will be at a place where Las Vegas is still Las Vegas. Get there early to get a booth and hang out and get a dose of real Las Vegas.
