Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they may affect the content on our website.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Smart Vegas Deals participates in affiliate marketing programs with various hotel booking platforms and travel companies. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Our Partners
Affiliate links let us earn a commission from booking sites and travel providers at no extra cost to you, which helps keep this site free. No affiliate program is active right now: hotel links go to each hotel's own website, and car and flight links go to Booking.com without a referral tag.
Our Commitment to You
- We only recommend hotels and services we genuinely believe offer value
- Our reviews and recommendations are based on merit, not commission rates
- We clearly identify when content contains affiliate links
- You'll always pay the same price whether you use our links or not
- We regularly review our partnerships to ensure they align with our standards
Editorial Independence
While we do earn commissions from bookings, our editorial content remains independent. Our hotel rankings, reviews, and recommendations are based on factors like guest satisfaction, value, location, and amenities - not on commission rates or partner relationships.
Paid Placement on What's On
Venues and promoters can pay to promote a listing on our What's On pages. A paid listing carries a visible “Sponsored” label, its outbound link is marked rel="sponsored", and paying never changes whether a listing passes review. Paid placement never appears inside our guides. How it works and what it costs.
Supporting Our Site
By using our affiliate links, you help support Smart Vegas Deals at no extra cost to yourself. These commissions allow us to maintain our website, research new deals, and continue providing free travel resources to our users.
