Las Vegas Hotels

[traveler196]

Hi gang:

Headed to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks and want some input on the good and the bad of the hotels. No hobbying this trip as I have my wife with me, so that doesn't matter. Any and all opinions appreciated.

what are you looking for?

i would use priceline

 

[Angelina@exq]

Yes, it depends on what you're looking for, location, price range, etc.

I have only been to Vegas once and stayed at the Belaggio and loved it. I have also heard really good things about the Wynn.

I'm travelling to Vegas again at the end of the month and will be staying at Caesar's Palace

Actually, I'm booking flight and stay through cheaptickets.ca. I have about 100 hotels to choose from at various prices; just looking for opinions on size anemities etc. Also I'd be interested if anybody knows a better site to book on. Cheaptickets is the most economical I have found so far.
By the way, I have found I can get a package of flight and 4 nights for the same price I can book a flight for. go figure...eh?

thanx

Venetian is very nice and Caesar's has maintained its' class after many, many years.

I agree that priceline would be the way to go, especially in this economy.

Normally I recommend priceline, but in this case I won't. Pick a hotel and either look at a package deal on expedia or something, or go online and search for promo codes for that hotel. You can get the hotel for the same price as priceline, and you get treated better at the hotel. You won't get a free room upgrade with a priceline booking.

Don't stay at the MGM. It's a hole. Caesars is nice.

On my latest trip, I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. It has lots of young people with tatoos, if you want a hip young atmosphere, you might like it. It is off the strip, so if you have a car, it is convenient to get out. But if you want to stroll from hotel to hotel, not so good.

The prices are so cheap now, it is crazy. I used travelocity.ca, three nights at the Hard Rock was $40 per night. Lots of the other decent hotels were cheap too, it is a good time to visit.

I have stayed at the Rio, MGM, Venetian and Mirage. Mirage was the worst. The others were fine. Used expedia and booked a package. Wierd place.

Venetian is fantastic. It's the only one I've stayed in. I'm pretty sure all the hotels on the main strip are decent. Venetian was pricey and I wanted to experience Las Vegas to the fullest so I didn't settle for less than the best.

I agree...

I usually stay at the Venetian too. Great hotel. If you gamble at all, make sure you get a players club card (at any casino). I was staying at the RIO a year ago, but gambled at the Venetian. Just a couple hrs and I won $200. They sent me 3 free nights in September 08. It may not pay off on this trip, but may for future trips. Good luck!!

Stay at the Bellagio. It is the shit. If you don't wind up staying there, you'll be there anyway - for the fountain or for the for the renaissance art collection.

Shit is good. Actually it's "the shit".

I'm partial to Paris -kinda small and cozy. Ceasar's is nice though.

I'll second that MGM sucks, really outdated rooms but the actual lobby and casino is still maintained pretty nicely so it's worth visiting just to see it.

I have stayed in quite a few, but Bellagio is by far my favourite choice because of the hotel itself and the location (it's located pretty much in the middle of the strip and you can get to either side pretty easily).

Get the players club card for sure and keep the wife away from the stores...

 

[ogibowt]

$ not a concern?..Wynnn,Venetian, Bellagio or Caesers...priced a little lower ,but nice..Planet Hollywood, Flamingo , Ballys..

the venetian is good and the new trump hotel is excellent i like the bellagio but you don't often get a deal on the price there

Ive stayed at the mandalay bay, if your with family its pretty nice, good beach area and buffet, also they have aquarium. MGM sucks only good to watch fights. And I also stayed off the strip at new orleans, which is ok maybe 3star. Go for more family oriented hotels, bellagio, caesars all very big and nice but not much to do.

 

[justchecking]

I stayed at the Mandalay Bay before and it was pretty nice. Was there recetnly in end of March for a trade show and stayed at the Encore, high floor, and my gf and I were impressed with the place.

I know people that stayed at the palazzo near venetian (I believe it's the same owners). All the rooms are suites , they really liked it alot.
