What casino hotels & resorts really cost

Why the price of casino hotels is more than the casino hotel room rate.

Casino hotels & resorts advertise a nightly casino hotel rate, but the casino stay costs more than that. Many casino resorts add a daily casino resort fee, taxes apply to both, and parking may be charged at city casino hotels. The honest way to compare casino hotels is to compare the full total for the stay.

The casino is a separate line. Money for the casino floor is the price of entertainment, like a ticket to a show at the casino resort. Decide the casino budget before you book the casino hotel, and keep it apart from the money for casino hotel rooms, casino dining and travel.

Timing changes everything at casino hotels & resorts. The same casino hotel room can cost far more on a Saturday or during an event than on a quiet Tuesday. Valmorine's casino seasons guide and the three casino stay budgets show where the savings in casino hotels usually are.

Casino seasons

When to book casino hotels & resorts

How the year looks at casino hotels: when casino resorts are busiest and when casino hotel rates tend to drop.

Winter

Holiday weeks and New Year at casino hotels & resorts are peak season, with the highest casino hotel rates. The weeks just before and after are often the quietest time in casino hotels.

Spring

Mild weather and big sports weekends fill casino resorts. Casino hotels are busy at weekends, while midweek casino hotel rooms are easier to find.

Summer

Pool season at casino resorts. Casino resort pools are the main draw, casino weekends are busy, and midweek casino hotel rates in hot-weather casino destinations are often lower.

Fall

Convention and event season in the big casino districts. Check the calendar: an event can raise casino hotel rates across all casino hotels & resorts in a city.
