    The Trop is indeed going through renovations, but $200 (even on a weekend night) is still exceedingly expensive.

    I'm not going to CGE - couldn't work out the dates since I am moving - but if the Trop is sold out/not affordable for people, there is Hooter's next door. I stayed there last year and the room wasn't great - really needed a new everything - but I didn't see any roaches either. There is also a Motel 6 about a block east of the Trop.

    Well we ended up booking across the street (Luxor I think) for Friday night. We'll be at the hotel Sat/Sunday as they ended up being cheaper and it being easier for the CGE related festivities.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Unless something has changed in the last year or so, avoid the Motel 6 like a plague. It was completely overrun by gang-banger types yelling in the parking and playing loud music in their rooms all night. There was even one group that actually left their room for the evening, and didn't turn off the stereo. (Yes, they bring their own radios to use in the rooms, apparently at full volume so they can get the required amount of bass to make them happy).

    Me and my dad were actually nervous about walking through the parking lot at night, and when I went to my car the following morning I found the rear-view mirror on the passenger side completely ripped off the car...

    That hotel used to be my default location going to Vegas (cheap and close to the strip), and over the years I've watched it progress into what it was that last time. It really looked like a gang convention. So I know it wasn't just a 'bad weekend', we had been kind of concerned about the place for a couple of years as it got worse and worse...

    Not a recommended location...
