About Las Vegas Accommodations: Hotels, Motels, Camping, and Airbnb

About Las Vegas Accommodations Hotels, Motels, Camping, and Airbnb We changed accommodations in Las Vegas like a glove, so we changed four places in two visits and less than two weeks. They are a great option for budget-conscious travelers. Those who come to Las Vegas to splurge, for a long-awaited vacation, or simply for luxury accommodations will not use our options and have no problem choosing an expensive hotel, you just have to pay for it.It is said that Las Vegas has some of the lowest rates, even in cool hotels you can rent a room in reallocation for about $100. How so, you ask? It's all about luring you to the hotel and then to the casinos, which are located in almost every major "tourist sanctuary". That's where you have to leave a lot of money that will pay and stop you from paying for your stay. In this city, nothing is done that way.I will go back to our "LCNOutdoors website" and describe all four options in order. We have capped our rates at $60 per day, so all options are cheaper.

Camping in Lee Canyon - Hobo Options

Camping in Lee Canyon - Hobo Options What does camping have to do with Las Vegas anyway? Well, it's not that far away, so if you want to hike around Las Vegas but don't want to pay for lodging and have a tent and sleeping bag, you can stay at Lee Canyon (not far from the Red Rock Canyon Wildlife Refuge). We ended up choosing this campground because we hadn't quite realized that we would be spending the night in Death Valley, where we would only be able to spend one night instead of the two nights we had planned. From Friday to Saturday, we were not in the mood to look for accommodations in Las Vegas, so we decided to spend the night at a campground.It wasn't that easy to find a place, but we did as we happened to turn off the road and saw some locals who decided to spend a weekend in nature. We came across a quasi-official campground with no name.There are several campgrounds in the park, but most of them have turned into summer closures because there is a ski resort in these parts. They must be getting ready for winter. Location: Lee Canyon, Champion Road. Facilities: No amenities, just woods. Price: Free. Pros and Cons: On the plus side, it's free and beautiful, but on the minus side, it lacks water and restrooms and is hard to find (no signage).

Airbnb Room - Budget Option

Book a Room with Airbnb What is Airbnb and how does this private accommodation search site work, I have already detailed it in the guide article. We had a long and successful experience with the site, so this time we decided to spend the night in Nicole and Nate's cozy home. Why didn't we go to a hotel? Because my friend messed up the reservation and ran out of rooms for Saturday at the hotel we liked at the time he chose. However, weekends are the busiest time in Las Vegas and good options are as hot as cake, so you need to book at least a few days in advance.Airbnb has plenty of options for every taste and color, from cheap rooms in someone else's apartment or house (as in our case) to established apartments and houses that will be at your personal disposal. The only problem is the budget allocated to housing. See for yourself.On the Airbnb website, you will see all the accommodation options available on Airbnb in the United States. There, you can enter the name of the city you are interested in in the upper left corner and get a selection of accommodation in that city, in addition to the opportunity to "lookup" other parameters to choose the best option for your personal needs (image enlarged).

Accommodation in Las Vegas

We were given a nice and comfortable room in Las Vegas with a private bathroom and everything we needed. The hosts were a young couple with a small child - courteous, unobtrusive guys that we barely saw.Location: West Azul Avenue is on the northern edge of Las Vegas. A quiet and uninspiring neighborhood with no stores or cafes.Amenities: Our room had everything we needed - a bathroom, kitchen, living room, and even a pool. As a bonus, we got two well-tempered dogs.Price: $30-$50 + site fee (about $5 per day). As you can see, this is a fairly economical option by national standards, but not the cheapest for Las Vegas, except that we were worried about finding accommodations in the City of Lights at the last minute.Pros and Cons: The only con I can name is the presence of the owners, although we had very little contact with them as we were busy with our own affairs. Still, we prefer to live independently with our lovers. For some people, this may not be minus at all. On the plus side, there is a lovely comfortable room with a comfy bed (behind a tent in our opinion) and a large separate bathroom. There is access to the kitchen and pool.If you stay there, go to On the Border Mexican Restaurant (Centennial Center Blvd, Las Vegas), the food is good, the portions are huge and you can bring half for breakfast).

Stay in a Hotel - Mid-range Option

The next place to stay was the Howard Johnson Las Vegas Strip - probably the most comfortable option of our entire trip to the U.S. Howard Johnson is a chain of hotels scattered throughout the U.S. It is in the mid-range price range but in the mid-range price range. It's in the mid-range price range, but you can book a room on any promotion and it's not expensive at all.We had everything we needed and more - TV (which we never used), microwave, refrigerator, two tables, dresser, coffee maker, hairdryer, iron, bathroom supplies, and of course a comfortable queen-size bed. A nice addition was a balcony with a table and chairs. There is a swimming pool in the courtyard, a restaurant on the first floor, and a chapel in which you can have your wedding if you wish. There are laundry facilities.Price: We managed to find a room for $50 per night, including taxes, and we ended up paying a lot less than expected.Pros and Cons: Location on the main street, very comfortable rooms, clean every day, good internet access. Cons: We could not find any cons.

STAR MOTEL - Budget Option

On our second visit to Las Vegas, we decided not to book anything but to look for accommodation locally as we had seen many budget hotels and agreed that finding a suitable option would not be difficult. Initially, we noticed a couple of options in our navigator near Fremont Street and along the Strip (Howard Johnson area). The first location simply wasn't for us: first, almost all the motels in that direction were either ugly or boarded up, and second, we simply didn't like that area. Off the main street, Las Vegas looked creepy.We went that way, but there was a surprise: we were once again in Las Vegas on a Friday, which meant that starting tomorrow, the weekend started and the prices for accommodations became "weekend" prices. Automatically, everything starts costing more money. The options that fit our price were either full, no internet, or again, scary.We forced our way to the Star Motel, which met all the parameters and was not far from the Howard Johnson. We stayed there for a week because we had a lot of work to do.Amenities: everything you need to live and work - a queen bed, refrigerator, microwave (chances are they will bring it to you if you ask for it, our room turned out not to have one), closet, large desk, shower, bathroom accessories.Price. USD 60 per day 150 USD per week 550 USD per 4 weeksNewly renovated, furnished rooms available Includes. - complimentary water - Free electricity - Free Wi-Fi - Free basic cable and flat-screen TV (some rooms) - free parking - coin-operated laundry machines - cozy kitchenette (some rooms) You also have to pay a $50 refundable deposit for keys and whatever else. Pros and Cons: The cons are that the walls are very thin, so you can hear the neighbors sighing. In our case, they were two disturbed black citizens who were constantly arguing and shouting at each other and then equally loud "Yes, yes!". Overall, it was mainly black guests who were not very sympathetic in appearance. On the plus side, the location and prices were not bad.

Five Star Hotels - The Coolest Choice

Five Star Hotels - The Coolest Choice As I wrote above, all of the options we tried were mostly for budget travelers. But Las Vegas is a party town, ready to welcome visitors who are in the mood to spend and have fun and spend it big, which means it offers them the appropriate level of sophistication in every aspect. This includes hotels, and believe me, a nice luxurious hotel is much easier to find in Las Vegas. The list is simply huge and the exterior decor of these giants is simply overwhelming.The best 5-star hotels in Las Vegas. - New York-New York Hotel - See the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Chrysler Building, and ride the roller coaster. Caesars Palace - If you want to be in the Roman Empire, this is the place to be, with its fountains, arches, statues, and porticoes. - The Venetian Las Vegas - This hotel manages to replicate a slice of Venice - there will be gondolas waiting for you, ready to offer a stroll along the "Grand" Canal. - Bellagio - A hotel with a famous singing and dancing fountain next to it. - Flamingo - Considered one of the best hotels and casinos in all of Las Vegas. It has a full pool complex and a zoo that is home to flamingos. - MGM Grand Las Vegas - This hotel and casino can be recognized by the image of a giant golden lion. The most famous singers, musicians, and performers perform here. - Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas - She spent an unforgettable few days there. From her description, I really liked Mandarins! - The STRAT Hotel - The STRAT Hotel is a hotel that can be seen from anywhere; its observation tower is one of the iconic views of Las Vegas. Here, you can enjoy soaking in a whirlwind of attractions. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list. Other hotels can be found in this table. Each of these expensive hotels has a look that is truly a work of art. Almost everyone has a built-in casino that anyone can visit, whether they plan to gamble or not, or what they look like (in a suit and tie, or in worn jeans and a long sweater).You can read more about the casinos in a separate article.

Cool Hotels for $1

Also, it's worth mentioning that you can stay cheap at many hotels in Las Vegas. Many of them run frequent promotions where you can get up to 99% off your room rate. However, there are some subtleties.Sales are usually valid for 1 or 2 days, and mostly on weekdays. The sites that book often give a price without some sort of "resort fee" payment settlement, etc., and it can often run into the tens of dollars.We spent $5 at the hotel, but the action only lasted 2 days (we needed a week) and with taxes, the cost went up to $50. You have to be very careful when booking and read the fine print about additional fees.Many hotels charge for Internet access. Rightly so, there was nothing to sit in the room, we had to go to the casino to spend or, if you were lucky, win!".As you can see, folks, the lodging options in Las Vegas are wide and varied, and no one is left out in the cold. All in all, Las Vegas is a great choice for reasonably priced luxury accommodations that don't exist in any other city in the United States. You can compare prices and find a great deal right now!Have a great time in Las Vegas, dear readers! #LCNOutdoors #Camping #Hiking #Beginners #Best #Camping #CampingTips #CampingTrips #Glamping #Hiking #Hikingtips #Hikingtrip #Planning #Tips #Travel #Traveltips #USA Author: Kenneth Link: https://www.lcnoutdoors.com/about-las-vegas-accommodations/ Source: LCN Outdoors The copyright belongs to the author.

Two Men on a Camping Trip See a Bear Heading In Their Direction.

The first guy starts to panic, while the second guy calmly begins to lace up his sneakers.

First guy: "Are you crazy? You can't outrun that bear."

Second guy: "No, but I can outrun you."

How to Choose Equipment for Your First Hiking Trip

How to Choose Equipment for Your First Hiking Trip I have been hiking since 2000: water, ski, and mountain hiking up to category 4 difficulty. For ten years I ran a children's Hiking trip club, leading sport and commercial Hiking trips for adults and children, and during those years I gained some insight into how to optimize equipment for your first trek. I won't read out a list of 200 items, but I will tell you the principles of choosing the key elements and what to look for. You will learn more about How to Choose Equipment for Your First Hiking Trip from the LCN Outdoors article.

Where to Start: Questions for Beginners

Will I Go on Another Hiking Trip Before you buy your first outfit, you need to ask yourself a few questions. The answer depends on how you choose your first dress. A. What can't I live without? These days, many people go on commercial hiking trips, that is, they don't design their own routes, but go with a guide. The problem in our time is that people have money, but don't have the time to train and bother organizing hikes - it's easier to join a commercial group. As a result, people often don't know where they're going. Sometimes this happens in sporting events as well: when participating in a category of trekking for the first time, newcomers don't know exactly what it will be like.Camping reports usually describe positive experiences: we climbed to the top, we overcame ourselves, we saw the views …… But usually, no one talks about a girl who brought a hairdryer but didn't bring warm clothes or a boy who brought wading boots but forgot to bring them because they were ashamed. So many people don't know what camping is or what a camping area is like. And that's all you need to know in order to choose the right equipment.Before you go, you should ask your instructor, guide or leader - the person who is theoretically responsible for you during the activity - about everything and get a list of equipment from them. And if you're going alone, you should research the area and season you're going to: read reports, watch videos, read forums, look at Google Maps and various apps, because conditions change and the more information you have, the better. B. Will I go on another Hiking trip? Usually, no one knows this. Sometimes a person buys a lot of equipment with the intention of going all the way, but after the first hike, that desire disappears. That's what happens to most people. I myself decided after my first hike in the Colorado area that I should sell the equipment I bought, but I'm still walking, and that happened too. And sometimes the opposite is true. I often see customers in our store who say, "I'm going camping once because they gave me a tour to the Himalayas. In other words, this person must know that they will never go anywhere else. And the approach to choosing equipment for these people will be different. C. How will I continue to use the equipment? The answer to this question determines the degree of versatility of the equipment you purchase. Most importantly, this applies to shoes, backpacks, and sleeping bags - the three basics that provide comfort. There is no complete all-rounder, but you can aim for that. For example, choose a three-season sleeping bag instead of a summer bag, choose a backpack that's larger than you need for weekend camping, and so on.

Popular Misconceptions About the First Gear

So What You Wear on Your First Hiking Trip is Important There are still many myths surrounding the tourism industry. This is mainly due to the strong tourism industry in the United States, where good equipment is easily available, so a stereotype has developed that tourists are raggedy people who throw away what they wear. Hence, all the common misconceptions. Myth #1: It doesn't matter what you wear on your first Hiking trip A story from life. On a summer hiking trip, three participants did not bring short-sleeved shirts. They thought that since we were going beyond the Arctic Circle, it would be cold there anyway. But for three days it was 86 °F (30 °C). One boy got heatstroke wearing a wool shirt and black jeans. It was June in the tundra. He tried to tuck the fleece in, but it kept coming back, he took it off, put the pack on his naked body, the pack rubbed against his shoulders, he put the fleece back on, and it started sticking to his wounds …… This is not good. So what you wear on your first Hiking trip is important, and so is whether the gear is suitable for the conditions of the Hiking trip, otherwise enjoyment will be a problem.Anything that is not specially made can make camping uncomfortable. You can bring a cauldron instead of a hiking canoe, a cotton blanket instead of a sleeping bag, boots instead of booties, and a gym bag instead of a backpack. Obviously, non-purpose equipment doesn't work as well camping as you might hope. Myth #2: Camouflage and military gear are the best choice A very popular misconception in our country is that military gear (now called tactical gear) is the answer to everything. Sure, there are some things you can wear to camp, like tactical pants with pockets to hold everything. But in general, this gear is not suitable for camping. Here's why.- Not everything painted with camouflage is military. Camouflage backpacks are sold in stores that are certainly not for any military in the world. For some reason, we have a soft spot for camouflage, so they produce it. - Tactical gear is not designed for the needs of travel. A soldier should not have to take it with him on a trek to Nepal, skiing, climbing Mount Rainier, etc. The same is true for shoes. Someone might argue with me that he chose the right NATO boots and that they are great for hiking. But everyone, who has worn hiking boots and gloves, surely knows that hiking shoes are very different. Sure, you can sometimes walk in rubber shoes and be quite successful, but this applies to specific tasks such as hiking in the tundra or the African swamps. - Clothing and gear issued to the military are designed for one year, which means they won't last as long as camping gear, which is designed for more active use over the years. Tips: I once went skiing with a military patriotism club where the leaders were paratroopers. They walked in their uniforms: a paratrooper backpack, a pea-jacket, all that stuff - it looked intimidating from the outside. the 8th-grade girls passed them because they were fully dressed and the paratroopers were not. Every piece of clothing has its place. Myth #3: The first piece of equipment should be easy to throw away Usually, to say an item is worth throwing away means it has a low safety margin or no value at all. Both are wrong when it comes to choosing equipment. Disposable equipment can last less than once. For example, if you take a polyethylene mackintosh to the Cascade Mountains for two weeks, chances are you won't have it two days later. In other words, you don't regret throwing it away, but you no longer have it. The same goes for clothes, tents, etc.I once went with a tent that my school gave me with a state grant. One day a participant dropped a tent and it cracked in all its arcs. It was later discovered that all the tents stored in storage had broken arches. Also, the tent lids were leaking. As a result, we had a homeless camp on Cascade Mountain and all the tents had to be covered with polyethylene material in a greenhouse. The result was aesthetically and functionally awful. There was crazy condensation, the wind stirred it up, and we invented new arcs out of willow branches …… Yes, it's not a shame to throw away this equipment, I would have thrown it away on the spot. It's just that unreliable equipment reduces safety. This is obvious, but for some reason not everyone understands it. The gear you don't want to throw away will have to be purchased again. Myth #4: First gear should be super cheap/super expensive Both (two sets of equipment comparison) are untrue. The choice of all equipment is not based on price, but on how well it suits the conditions of the hike and suits you personally.For example, in the first kit, I had a turtleneck sweater under my rashers, but I was wearing mountain boots with normal "iron" and my life depended directly on that. I couldn't buy a film jacket at the time, but I used what I could.The second set of gear was used when the level of travel and equipment development was already quite high. I wore a Bask Light backpack, which we have in the store, and it is by far the cheapest 155 lbs (70 liters) backpack we have. I am a manager of a well-known brand and could have gotten any backpack I wanted, but I chose this one because it fit me. And trying to choose gear based on cost often fails. You have to choose your comfortable clothes and the right conditions for hiking.

General Rules for Selecting Equipment

Adults Go There En Masse for Their First Hiking Trip I set some rules when it comes to playing with the kids. With adults, they work a little worse because adults don't always think that when summer arrives in Colorado, you need a dip in addition to a bathing suit. But here are the rules. A. Choose your equipment based on the worst-case scenario that could happen on a camping trip Let's take a look at the area of Colorado, South Mountain Elbert Trail, and Maroon Bells. Every year, schoolchildren, students, and adults go there en masse for their first Hiking trip: the view of the ocean from the ridge is beautiful. We used to go there in the fall and spring holidays with schoolchildren. There are two transitional seasons: in November one can start there in shorts and end in the snow; in March one can start in a down jacket and end in shorts. That's why you should expect the worst conditions: low temperatures, high humidity, poor or no trail. Bring light clothing so you don't look like the guy who got heatstroke at Grand Canyon.All this snow on Mount Rainier fell overnight; normally, there is no snow in late summer. On any mountain hike, you need to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather and carry equipment that is "stocked".The following are reasons for "having room" to choose equipment.- Increased "passive" safety. We won't catch a cold, we won't sprain an ankle, and we have extra backpack capacity. - It makes up for the lack of experience. An experienced donkey knows what to do if you get cold at night: pull your backpack over your sleeping bag, wrap it in your jacket, unbuckle the inside of your tent to prevent it from sticking to the tent, and many other tricks. And if we do not know how to do anything, the equipment will slightly compensate - for example, a warmer sleeping bag is less likely to freeze. - Reduce dependence on the leader. If a participant is inexperienced and his/her equipment is not clear, he/she must constantly seek help from the leader or other participants, which is not very pleasant. - Allow you to use the same equipment in harsher conditions. For example, I bought a sleeping bag with a comfortable temperature of 41°F (5°C), which means I can only take it to the mountains in the summer. For the fall, I have to buy another one. I can buy a sleeping bag with 30 °F (-1°C), which can be used in both summer and autumn. B.Choose the right one for you A classic question: Which backpack is the best? The correct answer is: the one that fits is the one that is good. Any experienced backpacker will tell you exactly that, rather than naming a specific model. The same is true for boots and other gear. How should you choose the right gear? C. Try different packs and shoes If someone tells you "this backpack is the best", don't believe it until you've tried a few different ones. Now that you have the opportunity to do so - for example, we have over 1,000 models in the summer - it may take a long time to try them on. What works for someone else doesn't necessarily work for you. For example, my favorite backpack isn't very popular because it's uncomfortable for most people. And the Deuter AirContact is comfortable for 75% of users, but 25% of users wouldn't be able to walk with it. D. Choose the comfortable temperature of your sleeping bag according to how you feel Under the same conditions, different people will feel different in the same sleeping bag. For example, I bring a 37 °F (3°C) sleeping bag for fall camping in snowy mountain areas and I don't feel cold, while my wife brings my 14 °F (-10°C) ski bag and she doesn't feel hot. Yes, she brought 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) more, but she didn't lose any fun or health.The comfort temperature of the sleeping bag is what the mannequin felt in the EN test. The sleeping bag has three temperature values.- comfort temperature (or "female" comfort) - the average age and weight girl can sleep at this temperature for 8 hours without waking up. - comfort limit (or "male" comfort) - for a middle-aged, medium-weight man as well. - extreme - the temperature at which there is a risk of hypothermia. Visitors have a wicked joke about this, saying that this is the temperature at which the mannequin is covered with ice. If a sleeping bag is listed as having an extreme temperature of 5 ° F (-15 ° C), then 5 ° F (-15 ° C) is the edge of death. You can't choose a sleeping bag on that basis. While I like lightweight gear, the difference in comfort temperature between 200 grams of insulation, or two Snickers bars, is 41-50 °F (5-10°C), which is pretty significant. Two Snickers bars can be eaten in one gulp, and a 200-gram sleeping bag can provide comfort on all days of camping. E. Take what you can't live without, even if it's not on the list. For example, a pillow is not on your camping gear list, but you can't sleep without it - so buy one. But not a regular one, but an inflatable one. If you're going to an area that shouldn't have any mosquitoes at this time of year, but you can't stand mosquito bites - bring 100 grams of spray. Of course, you need to be careful not to bring too much - for example, a 0.26 gals (1 liter) bottle of shampoo is definitely not needed, but what you really need that is not on the list is worth bringing. F. First, buy shoes, a backpack, and a sleeping bag There are three main pieces of equipment that will ensure comfort and safety while camping. They are shoes, a backpack, and a sleeping bag. And it's in that order.If you have bad shoes, they will make you toil for 5 to 12 hours a day. The backpack is the same amount. The sleeping bag for the rest of the day. So when buying your first piece of equipment, you should choose your shoes, backpack, and sleeping bag first, and everything else, depending on your budget, can be bought a second time, borrowed from a friend, or rented.

Choose Shoes, Backpack, and Sleeping Bag

For the First Hiking Trip, This Rule is 100% True So, we decide what to buy first. The requirements for all this equipment are the same. Boots, backpacks, and sleeping bags must be. - be self-contained. - be suitable for your personal and travel conditions. - be as light as possible according to the first two points. A. Rules for choosing shoes Shoes must protect the ankle For the first Hiking trip, this rule is 100% true. Even if a person is a master of the sport of running, but has never hiked a trail with a backpack - they may not know their ankles with a backpack. There is a trend now to choose trainers over boots because they are lighter and faster. I'm partly an advocate of this idea, but I always say that it's for people who know their feet and are confident about walking the terrain. We may see some Sherpas in the Himalayas walking on rocks in flip-flops, but they do it every day and they are used to it, besides they have nothing else. And boots in the mountains or in some harsh conditions will protect your feet no matter what. This is the choice of all those who don't aim for a record, and on the first trek, there is no record to keep.These are performance boots, for men and women. The front is a one-piece leather with cushioning, aggressive tread, and relatively high lacing. There are boots made of synthetic materials, and these boots are suitable for lighter trails, such as on groomed trails. This example of boots will help you move in the right direction in terms of selection, and then you just need to measure. Shoes should not be uncomfortable initially If you put on your shoes and they are a little uncomfortable, after two weeks they will be uncomfortable as hell. Hiking shoes have a certain amount of wear and tear, but if a shoe doesn't fit your foot originally, you run the risk of "wearing out" underneath it. People often come to our store and ask "give me the coolest shoes". But what good is the "coolest" boots if the boots are wide and the person's feet are narrow? This is why the best shoe is a comfortable shoe. Good socks and insoles add comfort The difference in thickness between regular socks and trekking socks is significant, and trekking socks take up more volume. They provide a higher level of comfort and are less likely to cause friction on your feet. Therefore, you should try on your boots with trekking socks to make sure they don't get too big. The same goes for insoles - the right anatomical insole makes for a more comfortable shoe. Bring a second pair of shoes when hiking What's in it for you? There is the possibility of not having to walk off-trail in thick boots and then put them back on for the glacier. You can take off your boots at camp or shelter and let your feet rest. A second pair can be lightweight sneakers, sandals, crocodiles, or even rubber flip-flops. They are also emergency shoes. I've seen shoe malfunction, get hit by rocks, and get lost on a slippery slope …… In one case, a man was distributing weight for a flight and wanted to put one shoe in his hand luggage and the other in his luggage. He ended up leaving one shoe at home. I had to take this shoe with me for the entire trip because it was too expensive to throw away. #LCNOutdoors #Camping #Hiking #Beginners #Best #Camping #CampingTips #CampingTrips #Checklist #Expertadvice #Glamping #Guide #Hiking #Hikingtips #Hikingtrip #Mistakes #Tips #Travel #Traveltips Author: Kenneth Link: https://www.lcnoutdoors.com/equipment-for-your-first-hiking-trip/ Source: LCN Outdoors The copyright belongs to the author.
