Assuming that's £s... nearly £1300 seems like a lot of money to stay somewhere like the IP for a month??

They'd have to pay me, to stay there that long!

My order of preference so far.

1) MGM Signiture - Junior Suite was great.
2) Venetian - Nice rooms but doors slam shut and can be very noisy, once upgraded suite was very nice.
3) Caesars Palace.
4) Orleans. Very nice rooms for one of the cheapest hotels.
5) MGM Grande
6) Luxor
7) Las Vegas Hilton
8 ) Palms
9) Plaza - Redic cheap in the Winter but a dive.
10) Saharra - The carpets will send you mad.
11) Excaliber - Where the Trailer park goes on their summer hols.

I guess most of these will be above budget for OP but as I a taking my wife this year I am looking to upgrade.
Was thinking Caesars. What was your experience there like?

Augustus Tower rooms at Caesar's Palace are lovely, and they have the best mini bar items I've ever seen

I was at Caesars this year and threw the girl $100 at check in and asked if they had any upgrades. She moved us into Augustus Tower from the classic rooms. They were great rooms with Separate Jacuzzi tub and Shower, living area etc

Minibar items were good and expensive,  as I found out when my room-mate removed everyone and racked up about $200 of charges 'looking' at them lol

Delta means you are going indirect.  This might be a minor inconvenience - or a major ballache.  As you are going for a month, a few hours laid up in Chicago won't really matter I suppose, possibly worth saving a little bit of money over not going direct.  Those that do this for < 1week are mad imo, a false economy.  Then, when you are led in Chicago departure lounge and realise you could already be ion your third beer Vegas if you'd gone direct, it doesn't feel so great.

Guessing if you have paid for insurance or not is a bit daft!  You want to make sure you are insured one way or another.  Falling ill in US is BR-bustingly expensive.

Paying £1300 for a month in IP.  Is this for a room to yourself or is it based on 2 sharing and a friend has been striped up for £1300 too?  £1300 for the IP is bad enough, £2600 is ripping your face off.

lol... SirPerceval, apparently hotels know when you've moved things around in the Minibar. When I stayed in the Hilton Metropole, my mate decided to go touching everything in the minibar. When we went to check out, the receptionist told us our bill is a lot more than it should be. We told her we only touched the mini bar items, not consume them, and it was all good. But I suppose if you said this, when you really consumed them, you could get away with it!* This is assuming they don't have your credit card details.

*Lol, yes this is illegal.
