Kayak shows the Ramada on Flamingo for $44/night from June 22-25. Decent place, walking distance to a convenience store (past the shuttered Key Largo, which is a bit creepy), and free breakfast and wifi. Just a quick 5-minute (or so) drive to the Mirage parking garage.
Thanks Chuck....that's near the corner of Paradise right? Is it a hotel or a motel? I'm thinking that used to be named something else at one time.
And thanks for reminding me to check Kayak from now on! What is their cancellation policy (assuming you use them)?
BTW, is there some kind of list anywhere to see who's coming? I see some people saying they are not on the list--where is that list? I think I said I was coming on page 1 or page 2 of this thread. Still planning on it!
It's a bit closer to Paradise than to Koval, but not at the corner. Not sure if it was ever anything else. It's a step up from a motel--all it's rooms open to secure indoor corridors--but it's "only" three 3-story buildings. And they have the typical under-window noisy air-conditioning units.
I believe the cancellation policies are similar to booking on any third-party site.
I also found a Hotwire listing for a 2.5* hotel $42/night in the near Strip south area. Betterbidding.com lists the only 2.5* hotel in that area as the Microtel. No guarantees, of course, but if it's that one, I've stayed there before, and it's nice also, with free wifi & breakfast.
Interestingly, Kayak lists Ramada.com as one of the sites offering the $44/night rate for the 3-day weekend, when when I went there, I was getting $60+/night rates.
I'm gonna ask tomorrow for that Monday off, and if I get it, I'm driving my new ride to Vegas for the weekend.

Just ran across Terribles on booking.com via Kayak for $33/night ($109.73 for 3 nights single occupancy). Stayed there once, wasn't all that bad. No luxury, that's for sure, but hey, $110 for a 3-day weekend stay during the WSOP and the AVP event ain't bad.

Just a reminder to everyone that Mirage is limiting "pre-registration" to people on this list, until 12pm on 6/23 (the day of AVP XVI). At 2pm, registration opens to the public. So if you are on this list, please remember that your seat will ONLY stay reserved until 12p on 6/23.
With this being said, EVERYONE who registers before 9pm (which includes 2 hrs late-reg) will be guaranteed a seat in the event, however that will be via the (probably long) alternate list.
