vegas trip advice

[cambridgealex]

I´m currently travelling in mexico and have a week spare at the end of my trip (15th - 22nd august) and quite fancy sneaking in a cheeky vegas excursion. flights are around 250 which seems ok. what hotels would people recommend that are cheap and are near the best poker places? I really have no idea where is good so any help would be appreciated. I`ll only be playing $1/2 and some low buyin tournaments ($50-100). cheers in advance.

I stayed in The Imperial Palace which is really cheap and it was fine for me and I wouldn't stay anywhere where the rooms weren't clean.It's also in the perfect location for the Venetian/Bellagio.

If you want a central location, Harrahs is a pretty good option.  Just checked out of there this morning and have no complaints.

Rooms were nothing special but probably a lot nicer than Imperial Palace next door (met a couple during my trip who stayed there and weren't impressed at all).

Off strip, Orleans is always good value and has a decent poker room.  It also runs a shuttle service to a sister hotel on the Strip.

Basically the best hotel you can afford within this circle. All the main poker rooms are here and within a 15 min walk of each other, actually include wynn too but that's expensive.

Stayed at Bally's. No complaints. Staff were really friendly too

Maybe I got lucky with my room as a few have complained about there stay there so you may be better taking the Sheriff's advice.

I thought IP was a shit hole. I like Bill's nobody else I know has stayed there, sometimes has great rates but its hit and miss but the rooms are good.

Thanks for telling me to stay there 

If/When I next go I'd just stay at the Venetian for ease but as I say I didn't think it was that bad,I've stayed in worse and in a lot better.

LOL did I fk. In the unlikely event I did, I would have said its not the best, or if u need somewhere to sleep and now't else go for it.

tbh this is never a particularly helpful way to review a hotel.

For example I asked for opinions about a hotel I was thinking of staying at in London and someone said they thought it was one of the worst hotels they'd ever stayed at.

But when I dug down into why he thought that, it all came down to how bad he found the restaurants and bars, and he ended up saying if you weren't interested about eating or drinking there then it was a very decent place to stay - significantly different to his initial summary of the place.

Different people prioritise different things, so it's more helpful to know why it's bad - not that it just is.

Obviously if the reason was something like it was dirty, damp and full of cockroaches then, "it's a shit hole" probably was a good summary after all.

It's mond ffs.  He's lucky he found his room at the end of the night, never mind bothered with the look of it.

Yeah that was it,and I was happy with that.The casino is terrible and I never played there but I was happy with the room,it was clean and there was a maid everyday.Venetian is the nuts though and I'll be looking out for some good deals to tempt me for next summer.
