When staying in Las Vegas. . .

Do you have a favorite hotel?

The Wynn, but only when I'm really splurging or someone else is paying. MGM Suites are nice and somewhat cheaper. Hilton is good on a budget.

I live in Vegas so hotel my house is usually where I stay.

Try to get a room at the Cosmopolitan if you can. You know, if it's not ridiculously priced. I'm not sure what their rates are but I hear it's a really fun place to stay with some excellent rooms and views.

I've only been there once and I stayed at The Venetian which was SPECTACULAR!!

Beautiful suite rooms. And the Canyon Ranch Spa is just heaven.

I'd go back in an instant.

Mandalay Bay and The Hotel. They also have a great Spa. In warmer weather the beach is real plus. The casino is spacious, light and without any smokiness. Wynn is nice -but older crowd.

ive been to vegas a few times and did grow some preferences.

Elara has an excellent location inside the miracle mile mall, along with planet hollywood. only stayed at elara, the room was mediocre but its close to walgreens. stay on the west side, the east? side near the monorail is noisy.

Mandalay bay spa suite is pretty nice, got a nice wave pool but the location isnt center strip and i found the ground levels to be annoyingly difficult to navigate.

palms place was pretty good, the best thing is theres a theater inside palms casino along with a food court. free shuttle takes you to cesars but only until 8pm.

the signature is a bust. its like a retirement castle, takes forever to get to mgm, which is on the south strip. not that fun if you want to explore the rest of the strip. the rooms are pretty good.

also stayed at the D in downtown which was affordable, some good tacos to be had on Fremont street and the gambling is better.

found the mgm properties to be homogenized and rife with resort fees and bad service. they dont know style.

another grip i have with las vegas is the transportation system is flat out bad for such a popular destination and hotel taxes are astronomical. las vegas blvd is about a mile wide with horrid traffic. takes you forever to get anywhere at times.

so i havent found my favorite hotel yet, but it would probably be one near the center strip that didnt have resort fees like the cesars properties. next time im there in august im probably going to stay at planet hollywood since cosmopolitan is out of my price range.

staying at wynn, encore or venetian would be ideal but they are about $250 a night.

Stratosphere just remodeled most of their rooms, pretty nice and much cheaper than the center Strip places. It was one of my favorite places until I moved to North Las Vegas last year

The Signature is where I am thinking of staying. I have to rent a car so location doesn’t matter much as long as I can get to The Strip easy.
