Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino Las Vegas: Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

The Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino is a small, value-focused property just off the Strip on Paradise Road, near the Las Vegas Convention Center. The New Orleans theme is gentle, the casino is compact (slots and video poker), and the on-site Bon Temps Café handles meals — it's about simple, affordable convenience rather than resort frills.

Its strength is location and price: barely a mile from the Strip with free parking, it's a practical, low-cost base for Convention Center visitors and budget travellers who'd rather spend their money elsewhere. Rates start around $49 a night.

Insider tipIt's a no-frills, low-cost base barely a mile off the Strip — handy and cheap for Convention Center visitors who don't need a big resort.
