Finding a cheap hotel room in Las Vegas isn't as easy as you might think. Many travelers hear how keen the hotels are to get you gambling in their casinos, so keen that they offer Vegas visitors bargain rates on rooms and meals that cost next to nothing. Well, the meals are there, but first you have to find that inexpensive Las Vegas hotel. And you know what? It's not as easy as all that..
At the present count there are almost 150,000 hotel rooms in Las Vegas, although it's hard to keep tally. When the last new resort hotel opened, the rather splendid Wynn Las Vegas, it added 4000 rooms to the growing total. Tycoon Steve Wynn isn't stopping there, as he now plans a resort called Encore, with another 2000 rooms. Then there's the new wing of The Venetian, due to open late 2007 and containing another 3000 hotel rooms. Topping them all, a project called Echelon Place is set to open in 2010 with a massive 5300 rooms.
