Best Super-cheap Hotel - MARDI GRAS Inn & Casino
The idea of staying "on the cheap" in Vegas is considered by many to be a forbidden subject. But, why??? Not everyone has a large travel budget, but everyone should get the opportunity to enjoy our exciting city. Mardi Gras Inn & Hotel makes that possible with extremely inexpensive rates at their 300-unit complex. Rooms are spacious and simple yet clean, with a separate living area and dining counter. Several buildings surround a courtyard featuring a nicely-kept pool and gardens with a barbeque area.
The main building offers a (very small) casino, sports bar, and Bon Temps Cafe with a full menu and value-priced dishes. Mardi Gras is within walking distance of both the Las Vegas Convention Center and Las Vegas Monorail, which takes you anywhere from the Sahara Hotel to MGM Grand within minutes Best of all, parking is free and the daily resort fee is only $5.67 (at the time of this article).

Best Neighborhood Bar - THE GARAGE
The Garage is a 24/7 sports bar with an "automotive service station" theme. Friendly bartenders wear mechanic's uniforms while pouring out generously-sized cocktails and hearty smiles. The Garage is fully-staffed and ALWAYS busy...daily food and drink specials are one of the main reasons why. Take a look at a typical Monday game-night lineup:
Free buffet, $1.25 hot dogs, and 1/2 tray nachos at V8 Grill 5p-8p. Show VIP text or FB Check-in for extra entry for prizes. First half of game, 5 giveaways. 2nd half, grand prize winners drawn from previous weeks winners for chances of Raider's tickets and more. After 2-FOR-1 Happy Hour:
- $6.50 Jack Daniel's
- $4.50 Apple Jack or Jack Cinnamon apple shots/$6.50 cocktails
- $4.50 Absolut 8p-4a as Monday's Daily Deal
- $7/$11 Beer Bust 9p-12a
The V8 Grill (varying hours by day) whips up some of the best bar food available, with amazing chicken tenders worth arm-wrestling your friends for the last piece. Delicious pizzas, grilled chicken sandwiches, onion rings, Bavarian pretzels, and more are all made to order. You can snag an entire meat lover's pizza for only $7.50 from opening until 7 pm daily. Pool tables, live trivia games, darts, and bar-top gaming keep things lively indoors, and a modern outdoor patio is heated during the cooler months. The fact that The Garage caters to a mostly gay clientele should have no bearing on your decision to visit. Everyone is welcome.
The Garage is absolutely the best neighborhood bar in the city. It's located at 1437 E. Flamingo Road next to Sketchers Outlet Store.
