Where to Stay in Vegas: What You Need to Know

Okay y’all—if you read my main Vegas recap, you already know I stayed at the Paris Hotel and absolutely loved it. But let’s break it down a little more, especially if you’re planning your own trip and want the real on where to stay, what to expect, and what spots are actually worth your coins.

🌆 Why I Chose Paris Hotel

Listen—location is everything when you’re in Vegas. I picked the Paris Las Vegas Hotel because:

  • It’s right across from the Bellagio fountains (aka my favorite nightly vibe)
  • You’re smack in the middle of the Strip—perfect for walking and people watching
  • The Eiffel Tower vibes gave it that dreamy, romantic feel even though it was a girl’s trip

It wasn’t the most luxurious hotel on the Strip, but it gave a solid balance between aesthetic and affordability. Plus, the casino area wasn’t doing too much like some of the others. You could actually chill, grab a bite, and go to your room without walking through a maze of slot machines.

🛏️ The Room

The room was cute—not crazy big, but clean and comfortable. We had two queen beds, a decent view, and the bathroom mirror lighting was elite (you know that matters if you’re beating your face before dinner 😍).

The only con? No microwave. And if you’re anything like me and need to reheat leftovers after a late-night snack run… just know you’ll have to get creative or eat it cold lol.

💸 Budget vs. Bougie: What to Expect

Hotels in Vegas are tricky—you can either ball out or stay on a budget, but there’s definitely a middle ground if you’re smart about it. Here’s a quick breakdown of what I learned:

Hotel Vibe Good For My Take
Paris Las Vegas Mid-tier chic, good location 10/10 would stay again!
The Bellagio Luxury vibes, iconic fountain Gorgeous but pricey
The Flamingo Budget-friendly, good for first-timers Cute for quick stays
The Venetian Romantic, upscale shopping/dining Perfect for couples or solo luxe
Planet Hollywood Trendy, Miracle Mile shops inside Affordable and convenient

🎯 My Tips for Booking Your Stay

  • ✨ Book early—those prices creep up fast!
  • ✨ Skip the resort fees drama by checking the fine print (they’ll hit you with that at checkout)
  • ✨ Location > luxury if it’s your first time. You’ll be out more than you’re in the room.
  • ✨ Use rewards or cash-back sites if you’re booking directly—run up those points, boo!

📍 Final Thoughts

So where should you stay in Vegas? It depends on your vibe. But if you’re looking for central, cute, and convenient—Paris Las Vegas was everything I needed as a first-timer.

I’d definitely stay again, but next trip? I might splurge a little and see what the Bellagio is talking about .

Either way, Vegas has something for everybody—just don’t wait last minute to book, okay? You know they love to play games with them prices 😂
