Were to stay in Vegas

Me and hubby and planning a trip to Vegas and wanted some recomendations. We stayed in the MGM last time and it was really not so nice.

Any recommendations?

Re: Were to stay in Vegas

  • If I ever get to go, I want to stay at Caesar's, the Bellagio or the Venetian.  My husband stayed at the Winn last year for a conference and he really liked it. 
  • I just went for the first time and we stayed at Bally's -- my H has been several times and gets great offers from them, so the room was inexpensive. The room was nice (especially for the price) and I thought it was very centrally located. We'll definitely stay there again because of the convenience and value, but I fell in love with the Venetian and want to splurge and stay there at least once. I don't really know what the rooms look like, though -- just the lobby and casino.

  • When we went we stayed at the Luxor but if we go again we want to stay at the Bellagio or one of the hotels at City Center.
  • We stayed at the Cosmopolitan when we went on our honeymoon and really loved it. When we go back, I think we might stay at Bellagio or Monte Carlo.

  • It really depends on what your budget is and what is important to you.  I've been twice--the first time my sister and I stayed at Planet Hollywood which we really liked.  It was in a great location and we loved our room--BUT we hated the pool.  We took one look at it and went to the Mirage.  So Pros:  location and price, Cons:  pool.  

    In October I went with my husband and we stayed at the Four Seasons (on top of Mandalay Bay).  We loved just about everything about it.  BUT--it does not have a casino, and is far down the strip.  We didn't mind the casino part since MB was right downstairs.  But we never saw the north end of the strip.  So Pros:  room, service, fantastic pool.  Cons:  location, not a true "Vegas" experience, if that is important to you. 

    Next trip we will probably stay at the Wynn since we never got down to that end of the strip.  Bellagio/Ceasar's/Cosmo/Wynn are definitely on the higher end budget-wise.  Popular mid-range hotels:  Paris, Flamingo, Aria, PH.   Low end:  Bally's, Luxor, Harrah's, Tropicana.

  • DH and I went in December with a large group of friends and we all stayed at The Golden Nugget in the brand new Rush Tower for three nights it was around $430.  I really liked it!  Personally, I did not like the regular strip.  Everything is so spaced out and requires a lot of walking.  I love the old downtown strip area where the Golden Nugget is.  I guess it was just more what I imagined the "strip" would be like.  To me it's like Fort Worth and Dallas....old downtown is like Fort Worth (more laid back, not-loungy clubs) and the strip where MGM, Venetian, PH, etc. are is more like Dallas (nicer, hoidy-toidy, loungy clubs).  It was nice to go see it, but I enjoyed the closeness of everything in the old part.  I don't think this makes a lot of sense now that I read it but it did in my head. 
  • My husband and I stayed at the Flamingo when we went in 2009.  The price and location were great - we paid like $50/night.  The room was big, but nothing special... but, we were there for the city, not the room.  The pool was nice (although, I don't know how it compared to others).  I'd stay there again.

  • Here is a Travelzoo offer for Bally's which includes 2 buffets per day.  $56/night Sun-Thurs, $115/night weekends through August, blackout dates of course apply:
