Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This plan is built for a budget-conscious city traveler who wants to compare casino resorts, use public transit, sample resort dining, and explore Las Vegas without excessive walking. Stay hydrated in the desert heat, carry sunscreen, and use the RTC app to check Deuce routes. The Deuce runs 24 hours and connects the Strip with Fremont Street. A single ride is $4, a two-hour pass is $6, a 24-hour pass is $8, and a 72-hour pass is recommended for extensive sightseeing. Use the front seat on the upper level for the best bus views when available. Collect a players card at each casino if you plan to gamble or pursue future offers, and set a firm gambling budget. For savings, use the CVS next to Paris for drinks, snacks, wine, prepared sandwiches, and an ATM instead of paying casino ATM fees. Resort pools may close as early as 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.; verify current access, bag checks, cabana rules, and seasonal hours before visiting.

What is in this plan

Days 1-4: Paris Las Vegas Base and Mid-Strip Resort Hopping

Use Paris as the main base for the first phase. Its mid-Strip position makes resort hopping convenient, with several Caesars properties close together and Horseshoe directly connected. The source describes a five-night stay, spacious public areas, numerous dining choices, and early-opening or 24-hour food options. Keep daytime walking short during extreme heat and use indoor resort connections where possible.

  1. Paris Las VegasParis Las Vegas, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    A practical mid-Strip base for resort hopping, with a distinctive Paris-themed lobby, a Bordeaux tower, a newer Versailles tower, and convenient access to nearby Caesars and MGM properties. The Bordeaux rooms were described as bright and spacious, though room condition can vary.

  2. Paris Las Vegas Bordeaux TowerParis Las Vegas Bordeaux Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Request the Eiffel Tower and Bellagio-facing view if available. The featured room overlooked the pool, Eiffel Tower, and Bellagio; a suite upgrade was offered for an additional $150 per night, while the standard double-queen room remained comfortable for two travelers.

  3. Paris Las Vegas Versailles TowerParis Las Vegas Versailles Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Compare the newer Versailles Tower with the original Bordeaux rooms. The Versailles Tower is more updated and has a newer walkway, although it requires a longer walk. The tower was formerly associated with Horseshoe and Bally's.

  4. Paris Las Vegas DiningParis Las Vegas Dining, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Explore the resort's many dining options and the connected access to Horseshoe. The source notes approximately 20 dining choices at Paris, with additional options available through the connection.

  5. Paris Las VegasParis Las Vegas, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Try the shareable cronut, especially the chocolate, Boston cream pie, or cinnamon sugar versions. It is substantially larger than expected and works well as an inexpensive breakfast or snack.

  6. Paris Las Vegas PoolParis Las Vegas Pool, Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Visit the Paris pool during the day, but do not assume early arrival is necessary for seating. Morning sun can be limited by shade, bag checks may occur, and pool access policies can change. Daybeds and cabanas vary in price by day and season, and the atmosphere may feel more nightclub-like than quiet.

  7. Paris Las Vegas CasinoParis Las Vegas Casino, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use the players card before gambling if you want casino activity tracked for future offers. The source specifically explains that comp-room eligibility depends on using the card in the machines.

  8. CVS PharmacyCVS Pharmacy, 3645 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Stop here for drinks, wine, snacks, prepared sandwiches, and an ATM. It is presented as a money-saving alternative to casino prices and casino ATM fees.

Days 5-7: Caesars Dining and Classic Mid-Strip Comparisons

Keep this phase concentrated around the Caesars cluster. Compare resort styles rather than trying to cover the whole Strip on foot. The source highlights complimentary drinks for qualifying loyalty guests, a strong value proposition for travelers who already have status, and several distinct hotel atmospheres.

  1. Martha Stewart's The BedfordMartha Stewart's The Bedford, Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Order the homemade pierogies, described as a standout specialty, and consider the bread basket, which was praised as a good value. The bar is spacious and the bartenders were described as friendly.

  2. Vanderpump à ParisVanderpump à Paris, Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Visit the Paris location for a themed cocktail and dining stop. The creator notes that Vanderpump has several differently themed restaurants across Caesars properties.

  3. Bacchanal BuffetBacchanal Buffet, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV

    Compare Caesars Palace with Paris as one of the creator's preferred Caesars resorts. It sits across Las Vegas Boulevard from the main row of Caesars properties.

  4. The Flamingo Las VegasThe Flamingo Las Vegas, 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Include this as a contrasting resort stop. The creator specifically says The Flamingo is one of her favorite Caesars properties despite its mixed reputation.

  5. Horseshoe Las VegasHorseshoe Las Vegas, 3645 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use this as another adjacent Caesars resort comparison and as a practical route connection from Paris. The resort is directly connected to Paris for additional dining access.

  6. The LINQ Hotel + ExperienceThe LINQ Hotel + Experience, 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Add The LINQ to the same resort-hopping comparison because it appears among the nearby Caesars choices presented for a Las Vegas stay.

  7. Miracle Mile ShopsMiracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use Planet Hollywood as another mid-Strip lodging comparison in the Caesars group. Keep the focus on location and resort-hopping convenience rather than adding unmentioned attractions.

Days 8-11: North Strip by Deuce and Monorail

Use the Deuce to avoid long walks in hot weather. The 24-hour pass is the best value for repeated rides, while a 72-hour pass works well for a concentrated sightseeing block. The North Strip sequence is Fontainebleau, Westgate, and Circus Circus, with the monorail providing an additional connection from Westgate.

  1. Deuce Bus Stop at Paris Las VegasDeuce Bus Stop, Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Take the Deuce from the Strip toward the North Strip rather than walking in extreme heat. A single ride costs $4, a two-hour pass $6, a 24-hour pass $8, and the 72-hour pass is positioned as a strong value for seeing Las Vegas. Use the RTC app for current information.

  2. Fontainebleau Las VegasFontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Explore the grand lobby, rose displays, casino, and Promenade Food Hall. The food hall was described as relatively uncrowded midday and offering flexible breakfast and lunch choices.

  3. Promenade Food HallPromenade Food Hall, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use this food hall stop for Rose Side Taco and Capon's. The source highlights Capon's burgers and mentions a chicken sandwich and a Mexican egg and sausage burrito as practical midday choices.

  4. Oasis Pool at Fontainebleau Las VegasOasis Pool, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Look into the Oasis Pool, located on the third floor above the casino. Pool access is for hotel guests unless you reserve a daybed or cabana, so confirm the current reservation policy before planning a swim.

  5. Fontainebleau Las Vegas CasinoFontainebleau Las Vegas Casino, 2777 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Collect a players card before using the casino. The source mentions a possible $10 free-play offer, free parking for locals and rewards members, and a tier-match deadline that may apply.

  6. Westgate Las Vegas Resort & CasinoWestgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, 3000 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Walk approximately 10 to 15 minutes from Fontainebleau or use the monorail. Westgate is by the convention center, is not directly on the Strip, and has a monorail stop at the resort.

  7. Westgate Las Vegas SportsbookWestgate Las Vegas Sportsbook, Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Visit the sportsbook, one of Westgate's major claims to fame, then look for the lounge with live music and other shows. The resort also has a strong Elvis connection and a Barry Manilow residency reference.

Days 12-14: Family-Friendly North Strip and Evening Return

Finish with the more value-oriented and family-focused North Strip stops, then return toward Paris via the Deuce. Circus Circus is presented as especially suitable for children and the young at heart, while Harrah's offers a practical return point. If using a taxi, clearly pronounce Paris to avoid confusion with Harrah's.

  1. Circus Circus Las VegasCircus Circus Las Vegas, 2880 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Visit for the Adventure Dome, arcade, bowling, casino, and family-oriented atmosphere. The resort is described as a good-value choice rather than a luxury stay.

  2. The Adventuredome Indoor Theme ParkThe Adventuredome Indoor Theme Park, Circus Circus Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Spend time at this indoor amusement park if you want an active, family-oriented break from casino interiors. The source recalls enjoying it in the past and confirms that it remains at Circus Circus.

  3. Circus Circus BuffetCircus Circus Buffet, Circus Circus Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Choose this for a more reasonably priced buffet compared with other Las Vegas resort buffets. The source cautions that it is value-focused rather than luxurious.

  4. Slots-A-Fun CasinoSlots-A-Fun Casino, 2889 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Stop at this smaller casino for its vintage Vegas feel. The source highlights cheap beer, cheap food, and vintage Vegas games, making it a strong fit for a budget-minded nostalgia stop.

  5. Harrah's Las VegasHarrah's Las Vegas, 3475 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use this as the evening return point instead of going all the way back to Paris. Say 'Paris, Paris' clearly if taking a taxi, because the similar-sounding names have caused a mix-up between Paris and Harrah's.

  6. Westgate Las Vegas Monorail StationWestgate Las Vegas Monorail Station, Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use the monorail for a separate transit experience from Westgate and to reach other parts of Las Vegas without relying on long walks. One-way, day, and multi-day passes are available, but fares apply.

  7. Fremont Street ExperienceFremont Street Experience, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Include this as an optional Deuce endpoint because the route continues from the Strip to Fremont Street and operates around the clock. It is the clearest way in the supplied material to extend the resort-hopping route beyond the Strip.

  8. Deuce Bus Stop at Circus CircusDeuce Bus Stop, Circus Circus Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada

    Use the Deuce for the return leg and sit on the upper level near the front if available for a better view. This is especially useful after a full day at North Strip resorts and avoids walking in the heat.
