Vegas Slump Spurs a Wave of Deals: Strip Giants Slash Rates, Fees and Perks to Fill Rooms

Visitor volume fell through mid year, so resorts are leaning into bold offers, lower fees, and sweeter comps to restore Vegas’ value play. Fall travelers have real leverage.

Las Vegas had a soft summer and the ripple effects are showing up in fall pricing. With visitor counts down and hotel occupancy under pressure, the city’s biggest brands are rolling out aggressive discounts and value packed bundles to lure travelers back. The deal slate is the most aggressive the Strip has seen in years. Expect packaged stays that bundle room nights with dining credits, fee waivers on select dates, cheaper table minimums, and more guest friendly moves on the casino floor.

What’s on the table right now:

• Caesars “$300 Escape.” Two nights at participating mid Strip properties plus a $200 food and beverage credit, with taxes and resort fees included in a flat price. Bookings run through December 31, 2025. (view deal)
• MGM family perks and dining credits. Stays of two nights or more qualify for up to $150 in food and beverage credit. Select buffets offer kids eat free for guests 10 and under, easing costs for families. (view deal)
• Resorts World fee relief. “All Resort, No Fees” dates into late 2025 remove one of the city’s most persistent add ons, and free parking sweetens the offer. On select nights, entry rates have dipped under the hundred dollar mark. (view deal)
• Wynn and Encore guest friendly changes. Complimentary self parking is back, bottled water is included in rooms, and standard price mini bar items undercut typical hotel premiums. Select show tickets are discounted up to 30 percent. (view deal)
• Off Strip and downtown values. STRAT’s “All In Fall Stays” bakes taxes and fees into low headline rates with daily dining credits. Station Casinos and several downtown properties are pairing steep room discounts of 30% off with wallet friendly dining specials and occasional museum or attraction add ons. (view deal)
• Flamingo, The LINQ Hotel or Harrah's Las Vegas For $300 Receive a 2-Night Stay + $200 Food & Beverage Credit (view deal)
• Palms Casino Resort value plays. All blackjack pays 3:2, with $5 craps and at least one $5 blackjack table available 24/7. A.Y.C.E. Buffet runs a daily brunch with crab legs and bottomless mimosas for $42.99. Scotch 80 Prime offers a Social Hour Mon to Thu, 5:00 to 7:00, with 30 percent off select dinner items, beer and wine from $6.30, and specialty cocktails for $12.60. (view deal)
• Downtown Grand Hotel and Casino Mob Museum Package includes two admissions and a $50 dining credit at Triple George Grill (code PMGMOB). The $175 “rollback” Tomahawk dinner includes a 30 oz ribeye, two Caesars, one side, and cheesecake, plus a dice roll for a free meal on snake eyes. Other rolls still earn prizes from $25 to $200 in free slot play or a $25 to $50 future food credit. (view deal)

Group travel deals are also back on the table, including wedding events

Soft demand means Vegas is friendlier to groups than it has been in a while. Resorts are competing for room blocks with lower minimums, flexible attrition, and bundled extras like breakfast credits or meeting space. This is especially good for wedding functions like bachelorette parties, who can pair discounted suites or connecting rooms with pool parties, prix fixe dinners, and show perks on the same reservation. Midweek arrivals see the steepest cuts, and many properties will layer dining or nightlife credits when you book multiple rooms together.

Quick tips for groups and bachelorette planners

• Ask for a flat per room price that includes taxes and resort fees to simplify budgeting
• Target Sunday to Thursday for the best availability and concessions
• Bundle rooms with daylife or nightlife to unlock credits and easier entry
• Request value adds like free parking, baggage storage, or a hospitality suite on slow nights
• Lock in a re rate clause so your block can drop in price if public rates fall

Why it is happening

Visitor volume slipped this summer, pinching occupancy and compressing rates. With fewer international arrivals and softer discretionary spend, operators are leaning on promotions to protect share. The classic Vegas tactic is back in force. Restore the sense that the city delivers more for the money than competing destinations, then let word of mouth do the rest. If early fall traction shows up in monthly data, expect these offers to evolve rather than disappear.

How to capture the best value

• Compare total trip cost, not just the nightly rate. Packages that include taxes, resort fees, and dining credits often beat sale rates once extras are added.
• Be flexible on dates. Midweek stays and shoulder periods deliver the deepest price cuts.
• Stack family perks. Use kids eat free offers, buffet credits, and free parking where available.
• Look beyond the center Strip. Off Strip and downtown properties are pushing the most aggressive fee inclusive deals and bundle perks.

Get it while the getting is good!

Vegas is in value mode. The slump pushed the city’s heavyweights to compete on total experience and transparent pricing again. For fall travelers, that means rare leverage and real savings.
