With summer fast approaching, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegasâ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting June 1 at $125 per person per night.
The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing the all-inclusive offer back and extending it for all of June, July and August.
âAt a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,â said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
The Plazaâ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees. Guests will enjoy free access to the fitness center, rooftop pool, and self-parking. The package also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor and breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets.
With free access to the rooftop pool, guests can also enjoy the poolâs new amenities including:
- Smart lockers have been installed in a climate-controlled area leading out to the pool allowing guests to conveniently store their belongings with just their phone for a nominal rental fee.
- New sun loungers that can accommodate two guests have been added poolside and are available for rental that includes towels, an umbrella and dedicated cocktail service.
- Conveniently located next to the poolâs full-service cocktail bar, the Plaza Poolâs Food Truck will also be open all summer long offering light bites like street tacos, hummus & pita, and fruit cups, as well as more hearty fare like pizzas, hot dogs, burgers, and wraps.
- Ice cream treats have been added to the retail concessions sold in the pool lobby.
To take advantage of the Plazaâs all-inclusive hotel room package, rooms must be booked online by Aug. 29 for a stay June 1 through Aug. 30.
