Bawbags do Vegas

Who's a dinosaur?

[Claw75]

if it's in your budget then I reckon Caesar's Palace would be a great base

[Longy]

The tax on hotels is pretty standard across the US, it varies state by state. You also get resort fees on certain places, I think Vegas might be one of those place.

Re. Bally's Stu, it's not what it appears to be in the brochures altough the location is excellent.

Red and I moved out after a day or so; the decor is tiring, the air-con didn't work and the beds were lumpy.

Thanks Ralph

Just talking to the Greek one about it now.

We seem to be veering towards - Planet Hollywood, Mirage or Ive just noticed that the Luxor looks quite nice?

Anyone stayed in the Luxor?

Tom and I had one of the "refurbished" rooms in the South tower and we both were totally underwhelmed.

The Golden Nugget's cheaper rooms were three times as nice and half the price, that was in October 2008.

From that website im assuming were talking $5k a week per person?

I went last October and stayed at the MGM. Got a small suite for £360 for 6 nights off Lastminute.com about 4 weeks before going. Would have had a normal room but the suite was only £50 more. Deals to be had around that far in advance from what I saw last year. Went down from £550 suddenly.

Really nice room, amazing casino, reasonable bars, main downside was being slightly out the way if you want to go up to the Venetian poker room or other mid-strip places, but plenty of other places round there, NY NY across the bridge, Hooters over the road (buckets of wings FTW!). Poker room at MGM was pretty decent for cash games, tourneys were total crapshoots. Do the midday at Venetian - 10000 chips for $150 and even in a quiet midweek day it was seeing over 100 runners. I managed to donk out in 30 mins on my first attempt, but such is life . Made a bit back playing 2/4 limit in the MGM, sitting next to a very pissed bloke, at 2pm .

No resort fees in the main MGM hotel either, although it was $15/day for internet access if you wanted it. A couple of friends stayed in the Signature there; amazing room but fairly pricey, with a resort fee on top. Fairly long walk to the main casino too.

I'd love to go back soon, but getting another pass from the wife is redic unlikely. I need another friend to get married as an excuse again . I'd probably try mid-strip, Venetian/Palazzo if I could get a deal, Mirage, Bellagio, Paris maybe - looks impressive, from the outside at least.
