Best Vegas Hotels?

I'm jumping on the Monte Carlo bandwagon. Stayed there for my 21st bday weekend. Nice play with a nice collection of resturants and the Houdini Lounge which if you are lucky can catch the Rod Stewart impersonater do a few songs.

I've been to Vegas two or three times. I stayed at the Luxor first, and it was ok. Nothing special. First time I experienced a phone by the turlet.

Then I stayed at the Plaza on Fremont Street and it is by far the nicest hotel there but it's still a dump.

If my wife and I ever go there, we'll probably stay at the Bellagio. My sister has stayed there religiously the past 3 years so that's good enough for me. Or the Venetian as a I have a rich friend who swears by it.

Bellagio for the win

Bellagio for the $$$

I go to vegas four times a year. I've stayed at most of the hotels on the strip and downtown. Hell I'll be going there in January for a few days.

I recommend the MGM and the Flamingo as the best bangs for your buck. They're both great hotels for a low to moderate price and they're always offering some good deals.

If you got money to burn go to the Venetian. The suites over there are expensive, but awesome. Paris' suites are great too, but the Belagios just aren't worth it compared to the Venetian. I haven't stayed at the Wynn yet.

If you just want a cheap room on the strip, Imperial Palace is the way to go. Its a little ghetto, but not as bad as some of the other hotels in its price range plus its pretty much center strip.

I stayed at the Imperial Palace my second time out to Vegas. It definitely isn't a top shelf place to stay but for the price I don't think you can beat it. Plus you're right in the center of everything so it's an easy walk to somewhere really nice. The rooms weren't anything to write home about but there wasn't anything wrong with them either.

I'd recommend it over the Luxor any day of the week.

I just got back from Vegas. Stayed at the Imperial Palace for cheap. It worked out fine. Others from the party stayed at Ceasar's. The rooms were great and the pool was heated. I know it was more money, but I don't know how much more.

Check out Freakin' Frog and Rosemary's off the strip. Rosemary's is fancier, but an awesome dining experience. Expect to pay handsomely for it, though. Both for the taxi (it's a ways) and the meal. Call for reservations and specials (good deals for lunches, half price wine bottles on Sundays). The Frog is something of a college bar for cool kids. The projector plays Eternal Sunshine For the Spotless Mind, sound down and subtitles on, while a jazz band improvises kind of scene. Most of the other activities we did were on the strip, so those are more obvious. The Burger Bar at Mandalay was yummy, though.

lol i was just thinking about this thread when i saw it on the news.

Heh, my room at NYNY had nothing but a view of that place. We had dinner at the Diablo Cantina out if front of it one night. Its the only casino on the strip I dont think I've seen the inside of, but its supposed to be pretty nice.
