The Westin in Vegas is great for this, and is close to Ellis Island which has great BBQ & beer.
Off-price hotels I like in central Vegas include:
•Hyatt Place (across from Virgin Hotel and near the Hoffbrau Haus)
•Townplace Suites off of Tropicana (nice pool, and close to In-N-Out + the south strip casinos. Better breakfast than the Hampton across the street )
•Fairfield Inn on Paradise (cheaper than the Westin and free mediocre breakfast.)
I didn't check the rest but the Westin has a $35 Resort Fee ( called destination fee) plus $20 a day parking
In our case ( we are far from high rollers) staying at Paris in a new Versailles strip view room and paying the RF on Saturday 10/4 would be about the same price as Westin but Paris is much less than Westin Sunday 10/5 - Friday 10/10
I picked the week of Saturday October 4 - 10 as a price comparison as we already have reservations at Paris that week
We paid a bit under $1210 ( with tax but no resort fee) for 6 nights in the Bordeaux Lemans King Suite at Paris which I booked in December 2024.
Westin for the week would be $2,222.26............so $1000 more (~ $675 if one had to pay resort fees at Paris ) for a base room at the Westin vs the suite at Paris.
My guess is Westin jacked prices and added fees like every other hotel seems to be doing these days,
