Good choice Luke.
The Venetian is a great place.

Problem with Mandalay Bay/4 Seasons is that you get a greenish tint to the entire room during the day. That said, 4 Seasons service is top notch. We made reservations to sold out shows, booked restaurants, etc and we were accomodated.

Bellagio is a ripoff...we have had poor service there twice in suites. We stay at Mandalay or Mirage now. (Mirage for us, Mandaly when we have kids...)

stayed at PARIS last Nov and had a good time. Nice rooms, view to the Bellagio fountain and upper floor.
I loved the bistros downstairs. Great place to hang and watch people, get some bread from the Boulangerie and sip a drink in a caffe.
Bellagio is super fancy. The fountain is breathtaking. They are really all great! |

Most of the well known places on the strip are ok. Here's my opinion on the hotels:
Top tier:
Bellagio
Venetian
Mandalay Bay/Four Seasons
Next tiers:
Ceasar's
MGM
Mirage
Luxor
Next tiers:
Treasure Island
Hard Rock
Etc...
Have fun!! |

Excitement: jet skis on Mead, skydiving, and a day with a 360 Spider.
Thanks again,
Luke. |

Have fun!
If you like bikes make sure you stop by Art of the Motorcycle exhibit in the Venetian.
When exactly are you going? Business or pleasure?

What about the Mustang Ranch? It's just a few minutes from town, and there are lots of nice amenities... |

Mandalay Bay is awesome but probably the most expensive, but the Luxor next door is great room rates and good location. |

I LOVED the Belaggio (sp?)
But to be honest, the best shops and ambiance I found in Caesar?s. Loved those high vaulted ceilings and the shops at the forum!!!

Venetian is my favorite, sometimes you can get good prices at the Luxor. |

Palms is off strip and not worth a visit in my opinion.
It's one of the newer hotels but it's a cab ride away from just about everything. What you pay in cabs, put towards a room and you'll get a good place in the strip. Not that the Palms are cheaper than strip hotels, by the way. |

An explanation...
The reason I feel the Venecian is moderately priced is because you get a suite for a comparably priced regular room in other nice hotels on the strip.
If you want to be at less money, the Aladdin is a good choice. Also in the middle of everything and the rooms are not bad at all.

Venecian. Cool rooms and close to just about every casino on the strip. |

I'm looking for a moderately priced but hip place to stay in Vegas this Memorial Day. Proximity to the Strip a real plus!
Any ideas?
