Hotels for $100 or Less :: The M Resort

Where: 12300 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], Henderson, NV, United States, 89044

It's extremely difficult to write about hotel deals these days and NOT include Las Vegas somehow but this deal is very different. For starters, it's at a brand, spanking new resort, The M Resort. And the rate is crazy low.

Via Quikbook.com we found a rate of $54 a night on May 11 and 12th. Sure, those are Monday and Tuesday night but still, it's a crazy low rate. (The weekend rate for May 15th, a busy weekend in Sin City, pops up to about $240 a night.)

However, we should warn you that the rate does not include a $25 resort fee. So each night is $79 for a total of about $160. The resort fee includes practical amenities like the use of the fitness center, a 5x-daily shuttle to the Strip and internet access.

The M Resort also has all sorts of fun amenities that we love on site like the pharmacy, the Hostile Grape wine bar, the just-opened pool area and of course, table games and slots.

And if you would rather book through the hotel's website, they are offering the same low rate of $54 with the $25 resort fee each night. Although, their rates for the weekend of May 15 are $260 a night compared to Quikbook's $240 a night.

The Wine's Flowing Freely at M Resort's Hostile Grape

Where: 12300 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], Henderson, NV, United States, 89044

An HC Las Vegas operative, Reader B., sent in a few snaps from a recent visit to the just-opened, off-the-strip hotspot M Resort. This is the scene inside Hostile Grape, a hip wine bar with a cutesy name where you can choose from 120 wines by the glass and kick it with your friends.

You can sample wines using pre-paid tasting cards that allow you to taste wine in pours of one, three or five ounces — which, um, sounds a bit dangerous...especially with a casino so close by.

And behind the bar, bottles are kept at the ideal temperature because wine enthusiasts are known to get a little, er, hostile when their Sauv Blanc comes to them a few degrees too warm or cold.

M Resort Debuts, The Crowd Parties Like It’s 2005

Where: 12300 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], Henderson, nv, United States, 89044

To the casual observer, last night’s opening shindig for M Resort, Vegas’ newest hotel-casino, seemed nothing but festive. In their snappy suits and fashion-forward cocktail attire, couples strolled the resort’s lofty corridors and sampled fare from several restaurants that were open to accommodate the invited guests. The atmosphere created a welcome reprieve from the dark cloud of economic turmoil that has settled over the city in the last year.

M Resort Defies Recession, Opens This Sunday

Where: 12300 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89044

In the midst of the bleakest economic times for Las Vegas in recent memory comes the opening of the city’s newest, aspiring “must-see” hotel-casino. M Resort will open its doors to the masses at 10 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, and unlike some newly opened Las Vegas resorts, there will be no “soft” – i.e., phased – opening of its various amenities. No, M is firing on all cylinders from day one, with (according to its Web site) seven restaurants, six bars, a spa/salon, a 92,000 square-foot casino and five categories of guest rooms ranging from the now standard “resort room” up to a loft suite.

Off the Strip Hotel Hopes to Be Hotter Than the Strip

Where: 12300 Las Vegas Blvd South [map], Henderson, NV, United States, 89044

Last week we had two more questions from readers about Las Vegas. The first question was "What are some almost finished properties in Las Vegas?" The second question was "What is the M Resort?"

Today we can answer both questions at the same time. The M Resort is planning a March 1, 2009 opening but as you can see here, it's still very much under construction. We were able to tour the resort last week and despite the fact that we had to wear hardhats the hotel's vice president of hotel operations, William Conn, assured us the hotel would open on time.

Whenever it opens, whether it's March 1 or April 1, the hotel, casino and spa is going to be pretty spectacular with everything you could want on-site. But will it be worth it enough to want to stay off the strip? That remains to be seen.
