Relief comes in many forms in Vegas, from casino air conditioning to dayclub cabanas, but the best way to beat the heat is with a new wave of seasonal deals and discounts. Take advantage of the following perks. They won't last forever.
Summer Hotel Deals
Resorts World is doubling down on summer tourism, lifting both resort fees and parking fees through August 28. The property is also offering a $75 credit for dining, drinks, and cabanas, plus up to 40% off hotel rooms.
The Sahara already has free parking, but is now introducing an All-In Rate Experience with rooms beginning at $69, no resort fee, complimentary room upgrades, bonus late checkout, and a $25 credit toward a prix fixe menu at Balla Italian Soul.
This what you get with the Sahara All-In Rate Experience
💸 Rooms from $69 🚫 No resort fee 🍝 $25 dining credit 🛌 Free room upgrades 🍸 Additional resort perks
In similar fashion, The Strat — like its 1,149-foot-tall tower — is aiming high for summer discounts with an all-inclusive deal through August 28. Book a room for as low as $49 a night and receive admission for two to the skyscraping observation deck and a $25 dining credit with taxes and fees included. As always, locals receive free parking too.
Downtown is getting in on the act too. The Plaza has a unique all-inclusive hotel package through August 30. For just $125 per person, a stay covers a wristband for bottomless drinks at a choice of two bars and both breakfast and dinner at Hash House a Go Go, Pop Up Pizza, Fresh Mexican Grill or the Coffee Bar. No resort fees or parking charges, plus select discounts at Oscar's Steakhouse and the pool. The Plaza also has Welcome to the Weekend fireworks every Friday night throughout summer — and that's free for everyone.
Summer Attraction Savings
Vegas has its share of all-you-can-drink open bars and all-you-can-eat buffets, but how about an all-you-can-fly deal? Slotzilla is running a weekday special for unlimited zip-line flights above the Fremont Street Experience for $69 a person.
Meow Wolf's Omega Mart is one of the most unique experiences in Las Vegas, combining a trippy faux grocery store with the hidden offices of the fictional corporation behind it. Simply admire the quirkiness of the 52,000-square-foot art installation or follow a trail of hidden clues to let the backstory unfold. If you fall into the latter category, the Portal Pass is a good option, providing admission for a year to the AREA15 attraction. It starts at $79 with a 20% discount for a limited time.
Circus Circus has a timeless appeal, especially for families eager to spend time with carnival games, kid-friendly thrill rides, and other big-top activities inside the five-acre Adventuredome. Wristbands are 50% off when purchased in person through August 10. Buy a full-priced wristband and receive vouchers for four free junior wristbands (for those under 48 inches tall). If that wasn't enough, the Carnival Midway inside the Circus Circus casino has a Summer Happy Hour with 59% off Skee-Ball, Whac-A-Mole and other games between noon and 3 p.m. through August 10. Stick around for trapeze artists, clowns and other Midway performers, who entertain families for free throughout the day.
Swingers at Mandalay Bay blends mini golf with booze, bites and carnival games inside the multi-level space formerly home to Light nightclub. It's typically restricted to adults, but kids are welcome throughout summer with family-friendly sessions from noon to 5 p.m. until the end of August. Book online and you may qualify for a free second round of play.
Play Playground in the Luxor is a more adult-oriented extravaganza, especially after 7 p.m. when hours are 21 and over. Those 13 and older can visit during the day and take advantage of revamped prices, beginning at $37 for a Play Pass, which covers 195 credits (or about 90 minutes) for more than 20 immersive games.
Summer Entertainment Without High Prices
The Bel-Aire Backyard pool deck at Durango is hosting a series of Sunday night concerts by national touring acts throughout summer. No service fees are charged when buying general admission tickets in person at the towel hut and you'll get free entry to the "Sunday Funday" pool party earlier in the day.
Seeing a Cirque du Soleil show is on nearly everyone's Las Vegas bucket list, so enjoy a summer sale on shows like O, Mystere, KÀ, Mad Apple and Michael Jackson ONE. Tickets are going for as little as $50 for seats in premium areas close to the stage.
