The Cost: When my wife and I were looking for hotels to sandwich between our bed and breakfast stays, it was just for a brief period of time. We had thought that rather than staying at somewhere far too expensive we would check out the value plays in the area. One of the places we have visited before "Circus Circus" had some pretty good rates for a mid-week stay. The only other places we saw were hostels. My wife is pretty daring but was not feeling like sharing a bathroom at this point in our trip so we passed on that. When we found Hooters Hotel & Casino offering pretty discounted rates on the travel sites, we checked the property directly and found out that they are running an off season special until May for $ 19.95 rooms. Pretty decent!

The Package: These cheap rooms also came with plenty of other things to entice visitors; free drinks, free appetizers, free Hooters wings, even $ 100 in free slot play. While this $ 100 in free slot play sounds like a losing situation for those who have self-control, the fact is that you have to play their certain machines and what generally ends up happening is that you lose all the $ 100. Still the drinks, appetizers, and wings were all real enough.
