The budget-friendly Rita Suites are located in the shadows of the Wynn and Encore casino towers, a few minutes' walk from the Las Vegas Strip. A simple, no-frills hotel with all-suites accommodation, the property charges a resort fee despite offering little sense of being a resort -- it's more popular as an affordable place to sleep near the Strip. Suites are large, with separate bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchenettes, but their condition varies from fine to poor. The hotel also has a seasonal pool and a free continental breakfast on weekends.

The Desert Paradise Resort is a modern, chain-style suites hotel aimed at longer-stay families and business travelers, located about 10 minutes from the McCarran airport in Las Vegas. Situated in a quieter part of town, a few minutes' drive from the Las Vegas Strip, the mid-range hotel could hardly be called a resort, but all rooms are either one- or two-bedrooms apartments with full kitchens, and the hotel has two outdoor pools, a game room, a lounge, a barbecue area, and a fitness center.

Palace Station Hotel and Casino is a mid-range property with 1,011 rooms across two buildings, located within five minutes of the strip, but a world away in terms of price. The low rates and numerous gaming and dining options make this a popular choice. There is a resort fee, however, and like many casino hotels in Vegas, the smell of cigarette smoke in the public areas can be overpowering. Rooms are spacious and smart, with flat-screen TVs, and the hotel offers extras that other off-strip hotels like Boulder Station don’t -- such as a fitness center, hair and beauty salon, and free shuttle to the strip and the airport.

Hooters Hotel and Casino is a three-pearl property that's a five-minute walk from The Strip. The value-minded hotel’s 652 air-conditioned rooms have monochromatic interiors with modern touches. Expect flat-screen TVs plus Wi-Fi, though they are looking a little tired and lack minibars. The 30,000-square-foot casino has table games, slot machines, a sports book, and -- of course -- scantily clad waitresses. Lounge chairs surround the hotel’s two party-oriented freshwater pools, which stay open late. Outdoor games like corn hole and a giant beer-pong pitches make sure the ruckus doesn't stop. Dining options include a 24-hour Hooters, a Pizza Hut, a cafe, and multiple bars. Travelers who'd prefer cheap rooms and sky-high thrills might opt for the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino instead, though it's farther from The Strip.

With free breakfast, a free open bar every evening and free Wi-Fi, this casino-free suites hotel is a solid choice for business travelers heading to the nearby convention center. But the lovely 11-story lobby atrium can't overcome the tired design, disappointing pool and dark rooms. Business-traveler friendly, but forgettable.

From the quiet pool deck to the guest lounges, this 400-room time-share hotel has a laid-back feel. It's a 10-minute taxi to the Strip, and the nearest casino. One-bedroom suites have kitchens, pullout sofas and Jacuzzis. Overall, it's a fine pick for families or groups.

It's just outside the center of the Strip (across from a strip club), but the Ramada offers a free shuttle to the MGM Grand or Flamingo (the heart of the action), the airport, and the Las Vegas Convention Center 24/7 -- a big advantage over other hotels off the Strip. But its 150 rooms are a bit worn and outdated.

More aging apartment complex than flashy hotel -- there's a full kitchenette in each of the 199 studiolike guest rooms -- the Comfort Inn Las Vegas has a nice pool and its fine for a longer stay off the bustling Strip. Plus, it's a short walk from the parties at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and the UNLV campus.

An extended-stay hotel -- not priced to compete with the bigger hotel-casinos on the Strip, just five minutes away -- the 118 clean, modern, apartment-style guest rooms at the Staybridge Suites best those at the nearby Residence Inn in terms of features and in-room comforts; but it's immediate surroundings are a bit barren.

The Blue Moon Resort for Gay Men is just that: a clothing-optional hotel for gay men, and there doesn't seem to be another hotel in Las Vegas quite like it. A budget property, it doesn't quite measure up to other hotels in the area that offer more modern rooms, but most guests agree it's still a good value for the money. Amenities include a steam room with lockers and a movie room, free continental breakfast, and a free weekly barbecue. Patrons range in age from young to old, and the atmosphere is casual -- expect to see nude men by the pool. Rooms are clean and comfortable with large beds, but they have dated bathrooms and tiny tube TVs. Gay men who want to be among other gay men will find this hotel very welcoming.
