That is true, but good luck getting into the pool area of another hotel. And trust me, you want to go to the pool, imagine the scenery in August!

Haha. The room semi-matters to me. I sleeping a clean place. There will be 2 girls and 2 guys total in our group. We're all single and one of them is my ex but we're best friends. If all else fails I'll bang her! Haaa.

I've been trying to find 2 bedroom suites since the girls want to stay next to us anyways for safety reasons, but the only one I have been able to find is at the Palms and goes for $1000 a night on the weekends which sucks.

Right now we're thinking about staying at the Monte Carlo. I would love to stay at Mirage and go to Bare. yeaaaaah. Is it all that its cracked up to be?

What do you all think about driving? Google says 9 hours, but I'm positive I can do it in less.

Been to vegas 3 times, driven twice. **** that ****ty drive. If you have the resources, I would fly and grab a cab.

I've stayed imperial before. Its cheap and center action, but its not filled w/ college aged people, atleast it wasn't when I was there. Can't beat the location.

Monte carlo is cheap, but if you want to walk to center action, its a little bit of a walk to ballys, paris, etc. Bally's suites are nice and have two bedrooms. Fairly inexspensive.

Other than that, paris is my favorite place to gamble.

Have fun

while the location is good, the actual place is ****. Although if you do vegas right, you shouldn't know what the inside of your room looks like

Friends stayed at Ceasars and for the jump in quality, the jump in price was minimal. Next time I'll be staying at Paris.

Trump Hotel, across the street from Wynn and right next to the Fashion Mall, which is a huge mall). All their rooms are suites and decently priced. You could probably get the room for $100 a night on Priceline.com

Or like I said above, you could try The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, but it's at the end of the strip next to Luxor.

Every club has a night. I met a bartender last time I was there last and she took me out on a wednesday night to LAX in the luxor. It was poppin. She says that you just need to find out which club is on what night and your set for a good time.

I am moving to Vegas later this year for school and have driven there a handful of times. About an 8 hour drive which really sucks. just fly and rent a car if u need one that bad, but renting a cab is convenient. Palazzo has nice rooms for a great price and same with the mirage. Best clubs are XS, Prive', and Tryst (sometimes)..... And since you have girls with you gettin in wont be a problem for the most part, but bottle service is always the way to party and have fun (way overpriced). If you're not doin bottle service get to the line early! Or tip the vip host whichever you are comfortable with. Just watch the Hangover and aim for that type of fun!!! Hope this helps....

The new M resort off of the strip near southern las vegas has the best buffet in my opinion as well. The Rio is good as well. They have the same owner and the buffet there has a much nicer appearance as well as quality. If i would recommend any buffet I'd go there. Kinda far but well worth it, especially when they serve seafood on weekends.
