Las Vegas deal: What can $22 buy? An Excalibur hotel room with extras

Skip two movies or a week’s worth of venti-sized lattes and you could underwrite a Las Vegas getaway at the Excaliber hotel-casino, where rooms have been discounted to $22 a night.

The deal: The Lowest Rates Online offer starts at $22.40 per night, plus tax and resort fee, and includes a tower room a, free Jell-O shot at Dick’s Last Resort, free eats for up to two children 11 years and younger (with the purchase of two adult buffets) and $10 off the Steakhouse at Camelot.

When: The offer, which expires Nov. 26, is good for stays through Sept. 30, subject to availability and blackout dates.

Tested: It’s hard to believe that you could spend around $100 on a three-night stay in any big city, let alone Vegas. (I’ve run up a bigger tab camping, and had to bring my own sleeping bag and tent. ) I recommend reserving online because extra charges apply if you book by phone.

I checked the hotel’s website and found three nights starting Dec. 12 for a room with two queen-sized beds (sleeps four) for $75.26 including tax. Add another $34 (includes tax) for daily resort fees and the entire bill comes to $109.

In checking the hotel’s online reservation calendar, I also found many dates, mostly midweek, available in December for $22 plus tax per night. This deal has a long lead time, perfect for locking in cheap digs for a girls getaway or spring break escape. So step away from the lattes, and you’ve got a vacation paid for.
