There’s a million hotels and they’re all a million bucks that week it seems. Any place you can get for under $300 and looks half decent would be a find at this point. Especially the Saturday night is really expensive.

I’m not going this time, but I’ve stayed at the Luxor and Excalibur. They were fine. Expensive, but maybe on the cheaper end of the strip? Way too much money for the rooms, though. Been to big chain hotels that have nicer rooms.
MGM properties can now be booked with Marriott points. The rates are pretty out of wack that weekend though. I plan to keep checking - I bet there will be deals closer to the shows, much like tickets
The rates at the link posted by fsu are not bad at all. However they do require a non refundable deposit it would appear.
My experience has taught me that a ticket to a PJ show is only a ticket to a concert if the concert happens. 3 times it has happened to me where it has not.

You can get a suite at this place and walk to the concert. I don't confirm if it is good or not. There is nothing else around, in case you are looking to avoid the strip and casinos.

thank you for this. I am flying in from CO and looking for hotels at the moment. Trying to keep it under$250ish a night if possible
No problem. Just remember when you see a rate I can almost guarantee it will not include the resort fee which runs $40-$60 a day (and of course tax). Another tip would be to sign up for the member's club at MGM and Casears. It's free and you will get the lowest rates available to the general public. Rates that will not show up if you don't sign up and log in. I'm going later this year to see the Killers. It's a slow period but with the member's rate I'm paying $8.00 + $50 resort fee + tax. You won't get that during that week in May because of other events but you should same $20-$30 a night and they will give you like $10 buck of free play at the casino.
Resort fees are even worse than ticket service fees.

When I went a month ago to see U2, one of the nights (Sunday night 2/4) the hotel room was $22.50 with a $45.30 resort fee. Ticketmaster would love that kind of percentage for its bone fees.
This weekend we rock Portland

so signing up for the MGM member's club would be helpful? I'd love to not have to schlep too far after the show but I am looking at hotels along the monorail as well as it seems like that is a viable way to move around. My wife works and I spend some time in NYC so I appreciate public transportation, not needing to get and wait for an absurdly expensive Uber after the show is always a plus in my books.

MGM Grand Garden is like the only place that monorail gets close to. You can check out the Marriotts over by the convention center if you are taking it. Last I checked, it is like $5 per person, so just crossing the street to OYO and getting an Uber might be easier if there is a surge.
Don't get me started on why the monorail was never extended to the airport or simply put in the middle of the strip. You know, to make it useful.
Made that mistake the first time I went to Vegas in my early 20s. What a dump. Staying at The Linq for these shows. Nice location middle of the strip
When was that? Circus Circus was remodeled in about 2011. It's still not a high-end hotel by Strip standards, but it's aiming more at families, and it was perfectly fine after the remodel (I stayed there once when I had an event there). If you first stayed there before the remodel, I totally understand your take on it.

People have become so reliant on Uber and Lyft that they have forgotten about cabs, which are abundant in Vegas and not subject to surge pricing. Just remember that, if there's a long wait for a rideshare vehicle, you'll probably be able to hop right into a cab in front of any hotel, and you're probably not going that far so you're not going to end up paying much more for it.
And I second the recommendation here: if you're leaving a crowded event, walk across the street where there won't be a crush of people looking for rides. If you're heading north on the Strip, walk a couple of blocks north of MGM Grand. If you're headed south or west of the Strip, cross over to New York New York and get a car on the southbound side. If you're heading south or east, cross over to OYO. Basically, avoid getting in a car that needs to make a U-turn on the Strip. You'll add ten minutes and extra dollars to your ride. And the further good news is that, in mid-May, temperatures at night will be cool so you won't be saturated with sweat if you have to walk a little.
I gather speed from you fucking with me.

yea god forbid they connected public transportation to an airport or put closer to where I assume millions of people walk/travel a year on the strip. This will be my first Vegas trip, I couldn't care less about going to any casino, just want to come see PJ and have a reasonable place to lay my head and WFH the day between the shows.

There are public buses that run up and down the Strip regularly. The Deuce, as it's called, runs every ten-to-fifteen minutes and costs four bucks for a single ride, eight bucks for a 24-hour pass, and twenty bucks for a three-day pass.
Las Vegas is not a hard place to get around, especially if you're not planning on deviating from the Strip. There is actually a lot to do and see in Vegas that is off the Strip, but someone one a first-time visit will have plenty on the Strip to hold their interest. (When I go to Vegas, I drive up from L.A. With my car, I have complete freedom and flexibility to do things far and wide, from Red Rock National Recreation Area to the west, to Tule Springs Fossil Reserve to the North, to downtown, to great local restaurants out to the west Summerlin or east of the Strip on Paradise, to Town Square to the south. And, of course, the Pinball Museum!

For shopping for rates absolutely. From Harrah's going south (toward MGM) 90-95% of the hotels are either MGM or Caesar's properties. It's an easy way to save at least 10% off the hotel rate. The problem with the PJ dates is Electric Daisy Carnival is in town at the same time. That's half a million people over three days. I'm sure Thursday would be a lot cheaper than Friday and especially Saturday.
