We are planning a long weekend Nov. 9-12. The rates seem high that weekend, I don't know if there's any conventions in town to make the rates high. We've already booked a the airfare. Airfare was a great sale, so that particular time a done deal. Are there any hotels you can recommend that aren't on the strip but provide a free shuttle, that might save us some money? Thanks for any help you can provide.

sorry for my typos, I should have proofed better.

It's the International Association of Realtors conference and a long weekend. It's going to be tough everywhere.

AFAIK no major strip hotels offer free airport shuttles. You're on your own.

Being a long/ Veteran's Day weekend with typically nice weather in Vegas, it will be pricey. Yes, off strip would be good (Coast or Station casinos) or downtown. Most of the shuttle companies are fairly resonable. Bell Trans is one of them.

Search Google using "coast casino shuttles" and you'll find a list of shuttles running from off strip casinos to the strip. Be sure to verify directly with the hotel before booking!

oct & Nov have notoriously high hotel occupancy due to conventions.

goldcoastcasino.com is your best bet if they have availability. The hotel is actually closer to the center strip than many south-strip and north-strip hotels. OrleansCasino is another one to try, and Palace Station.
