"We'll leave the light on for you" is the Motel 6 motto, and what a light it is at their nearest location to the Strip. Even visitors from other resorts might want to head down Tropicana Avenue to check out how the humble Motel 6 went uptown with a whopping, glittering, multicolored, vintage neon Vegas sign. Besides the flashy introduction, the property features all the budget-priced perks that made the chain famous -- clean, comfortable rooms, free local calls, a large swimming pool and free stays for kids. Its location is another advantage -- guests are five minutes from the airport and within walking distance of the MGM Grand, New York New York, Tropicana and Excalibur resorts. Free monorails connect these hotels to other destinations up and down the Strip, so the budget-minded tourist can eliminate the need for a rental car as well. -- David Hofstede
