The Econolodge is a great option for those who are driving to Las Vegas, or are able to rent a car, and who are on a tight budget. As mentioned before, it is far from center strip, much closer to Downtown Las Vegas, and not in the greatest of neighborhoods. (But not in the worst either). The hotel is clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the staff is courteous and helpful. It is a great stay for the budget-minded.
However, this is not the place to stay if you plan on walking as your sole transportation to the strip. Of course there's The Deuce bus that runs 24 hours, but it is slow as the strip at night gets congested with traffic. You may find that it may take up to an hour on the Deuce to get back to the Econolodge at night with severe strip traffic, and then of course, you are getting home late at night in not the greatest of neighborhoods.
If you have a car though, no problem. The Econolodge is a great place to crash after a long night. I had a car during my stay as I always do- but I suppose I should say I am biased, I can't stand going to Vegas without a car because it so much easier to get from resort to resort, and to get away from the strip if needed- plus you are not walking around constantly in desert heat.
Overall, the Econolodge is a great budget stay, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.
