Ellis Island Hotel Casino & Brewery
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Ellis Island is worth booking if you want a low-cost base a short walk from the Strip and do not need polish. Skip it if spotless rooms are a must, since some guests report stained carpets and missed housekeeping.

This is our Budget pick for Las Vegas. It is a 3-star property east of the Strip with a guest score of 8.0 out of 10 from 6,219 reviews, a large sample that makes the score fairly reliable.
It suits travellers who want to spend their money on shows and dining rather than the room. Guests point to lower room and dining prices than the big resorts nearby. Families may find it useful too: the property lists family rooms, free parking, a pool, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a garden.
Skip it if cleanliness is your top concern. Most guests find it tidy, but some mention stained carpets and missed housekeeping. It is also not on the Strip itself, so you will walk or ride to the main casinos.
Location and getting around
The address is 4250 Koval Lane, east of the Las Vegas Strip, and guests give the location 8.7. Guests describe a 10 to 20 minute walk to the Strip and the Sphere.
In our data, MGM Grand Garden Arena is 0.9 km away, about 11 minutes on foot, and Caesars Palace 1.2 km, about 15 minutes. The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign is 3.5 km, roughly 44 minutes on foot, which is far: take public transport or a taxi for that one. All walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take longer.
What guests say
Positive reviews focus on two things: the location, a short walk from the Strip and the Sphere, and the prices, with rooms and food cheaper than at nearby resorts.
The main complaint is cleanliness. The property is generally described as tidy, but a share of guests report stained carpets and housekeeping that did not happen. With more than 6,000 reviews, check the most recent ones to see if this is still a pattern.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price we saw was about €77 per night, roughly €154 for the 2-night reference stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was about €146 per night, so this sits around half the typical rate.
Our Best Value pick, The Carriage House, is also 3 stars but scores 9.0 and cost about €111 per night, right by the Strip. The Luxury pick, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, is 5 stars with an 8.9 score at about €322 per night. Ellis Island is the cheapest of the three and the lowest scored.
Breakfast details are not confirmed in our data. Check whether any meal is included in your rate.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 17 eligible properties in Las Vegas. For the Budget slot we take the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice has been set aside, and Ellis Island came out cheapest. Its review-score position was 16 of 17, so it wins on price, not on reviews.
An 8.0 from over 6,000 guests is still a solid result for this price level.
Before you book
Check the pool's opening times and any resort or facility fees for your dates. Confirm that parking is still free when you book, since the property lists it but conditions can change.
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read recent reviews about housekeeping and room condition before you pay.
