Due to popular demand, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is extending its all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night.

The Plaza was the first Las Vegas property to introduce an all-inclusive hotel room package in the summer of 2024. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property brought it back this summer, and now, it has extended it to the month of September.

“Everyone has seen viral videos of people complaining about costs in Las Vegas or read headlines that Vegas is dead, but nothing is further from the truth at the Plaza in downtown Las Vegas,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “We continue to welcome guests to the Plaza thanks to the value we offer, and this summer, many of our guests have taken advantage of our all-inclusive hotel room package.”

Jossel added that guests also enjoy the Plaza’s free fireworks show every Friday in the summer, a variety of dining options, the most pickleball courts of any Las Vegas resort, and the best player-friendly odds in Las Vegas on the casino floor.

The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees, but guests will still have free access to the fitness center, self-parking, and rooftop pool. It also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor as well as breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets. In addition, the free dining options have been expanded, and a 25% discount on drinks at the rooftop pool cocktail bar has been added to the all-inclusive hotel offer. Details on the amenities included in the Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel package can be found at https://www.plazahotelcasino.com/las-vegas-all-inclusive-room-package/.

The Plaza’s all-inclusive hotel room package is available for booking online for a stay now through Sept. 30.
