3-Star Hotels in Vegas for $20/night + Bonus

Likely a sign of the troubling Vegas economy, 3-star hotel rooms are available throughout the strip from just $20 a night. Last night, we found Hooters on the South strip for $20, The Sahara and Stratosphere on the North strip for $22, and if you really feel like "splurging," throw down $25 a night for the kid-friendly for Circus Circus. Plenty of great deals are available at the higher end properties as well. Rates above are based on mid-week availability between late February and March 2009.
