Stress no more: Here are five hidden hotel values in Las Vegas. More than just sensibly priced, these hotels also offer a little something extra—be it a great location, distinctive room features, or value-added perks included in the room rate. To appeal to a broad spectrum of travelers, I've included hotels both close to the action (e.g., on or just off the Strip) and a little ways removed. Take a look at my five picks, and be sure to suggest your own Vegas hotel favorites in the comments section below.

Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon

Many of the entertainment, gaming, and hotel conglomerates on the Strip are known for their gargantuan size—and prices to match. Not so with Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon, an unassuming spot right at the heart of the Strip. Guest rooms have 42-inch plasma television sets; some also boast a view of the Strip. The property has a casino, a steakhouse, and a 24-hour restaurant, as well as a nightclub and a lounge. Additionally, all guests have access to the four pools, two hot tubs, and poolside amenities at the Flamingo, located next door, for no extra charge. Rates in autumn start at $60 for weeknights and $120 for weekend stays, based on double occupancy.

Desert Rose Resort

The Desert Rose Resort is a non-casino resort hotel, located a block and a half off the Strip. Ideal for travelers who want to be near the action but not stay in a casino itself, the Desert Rose offers suite-style accommodations with fully equipped kitchens, living rooms with sofa beds, cable television, high-speed Internet access, and balconies or patios. Complimentary breakfast is available each day, and a manager's reception with drinks and refreshments is offered on weeknights. Additionally, the hotel has a pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, and a barbecue area. Prices for autumn stays start at $105 for weeknights and $150 for weekends, based on double occupancy. Discounts are available for Arizona, California, and Nevada residents; government employees; UNLV alumni; and members of the military. The resort also offers multiple savings packages, ranging from free nights with minimum-night stays, pre-payment discounts, and more.

Suncoast Hotel & Casino

Want easy access to the action, but also be a bit removed from all the hustle and bustle? If so, consider the Suncoast Hotel & Casino, about 20 minutes away from the Strip. The hotel has both standard guest rooms and suite-style accommodations, each with coffee makers and refrigerators, cable television, and high-speed Internet access. There is also a pool, a 24-hour fitness center, several on-site restaurants, a showroom for live entertainment, a salon, and a video arcade. Additionally, Suncoast has a casino with over 2,000 slot machines, a bingo hall, and more than 30 table games. Autumn room rates range from $39 to $119 per night, based on double occupancy. Special offers, including golf stay-and-play packages, seasonal savings, and dining getaways, are available.
