Id go with Harrahs. But they are both sort of the same hotel. Somewhat run down (not as bad as IP) with crappy pools.
Bally's North tower is not bad. Staying at Harrhas this time for 2 days until we move to Aria.Bally's is connected to Paris so that's why i would choose that one. But overall they are pretty much the same

Yeah, I'm talking about the south tower...think cheap.

Harrahs then, however I like Bally's for the cheap stay because of Paris :shrug: , but North tower is not much more expensive is it? I don't know, not trying to be "look at me" but we only stay at those hotels with comps so I really don't know what your $$ gets you there. Our south tower room before we moved was not run down but it looked like a college dorm room and furntiture.

I hear ya, but looking at the room rates when I'm logged into total rewards, I can get the south tower for $90 total for Saturday through Friday (6 nights) and it's a good $500 for the north tower. Just looking to keep the room costs low.In comparison, the Flamingo is $105 and Harrah's is $40 (all of the basic rooms).
 
I did most of my gambling at Planet Hollywood. Definately the spot for your thirtysomething crowd.
Please expand on the bolded.(The thirty something part)
A thirty something here and the reason I like PH is the fact that it seems to have more 20 something chicks than other casinos.Regarding the wifey talk, my fiance and I are looking to head out there (she'll be the wife by then). Should be a blast at the clubs, different food options (she'll probably want a show, any help?) and a fun social place, as mentioned. If you are into the scene.
PH has been nothing but a tomb for lowlifes every time I've been in there. I don't think a Seal Team 6 dog could find a hot 20 something in there on a Saturday night.

I'd pay the extra $15 and go with Flamingo.

I don't live there anymore, but it has changed, and I think you are right more often than not. I moved there in 08, and PH was kind of a sleeper, on the weekends you would go in, and the crowd was sort of a lower rent Palms crowd. Younger crowd, not popping bottles, but having fun. The Heart bar was packed on the weekends, and you could usually find some wayward bachelorette party there. Went back in about 1 month ago for the first time in two years, and it is a noticeable drop. Crowd got older and cheaper, and no eye candy anywhere. The have a bull-riding themed restaurant now, for Pete's sake.

I may then have to rescind my comments, although when I was there (albeit middle of the day and not for long) a month ago, there was noticeably more talent than elsewhere. Maybe at night the 30+ skeevers (not that I'd know who THEY are) scared the talent away?

So where do the 21 to 39 year old people hang out now? :mellow:

This is a very good question - at least a 25 and a 38 year old. Palms' clubs were still hopping when I went a month ago (I was a bit surprised as it's been a while). What hotel would be best for the party crowd.

Palms and Hard Rock are both still good choices. The Cosmo is the spot now, but it's definitely not for the bargain hunter.
Palms has been solid the last few years I've been to vegas. The hard Rock has slipped and seemed to be filled with latino gangsters and hookers when i was there last june...

Hard Rock, Palms, Comso/Aria. I've seen a few hotties at the Mandalay Pool and MGM is so big you'll find any crowd there.

Mandalay has held up really well. Didn't make it to Aria last time I was there. I got the vibe from the locals that Cosmo was going after Palms, and Aria was going after Wynn/Bellagio. Accurate?

Has anyone stayed at Planet Hollywood? The rooms look pretty nice....even the most basic ones (Hollywood Hip or something).

First time I've heard this but seems accurate.
 
Will be staying at MGM during 4th of July weekend. Will be going with a couple of buddies from work tentative plan is heavy drinking and lots of clubbing. Any suggestions (group age range is 25-30) on where to go. Been to Vegas a couple of times now but wondering if their is any specific location to go during 4th of july.
I'm not a clubbing kind of guy, so this recommendation might be lame, but the bar at Mix at Mandalay Bay has the best view of the strip you will ever see, especially at night. If you are looking for a fantastic dinner, or just a place to have some drinks before "really" going out, you should check it out. I'm not sure if they do fireworks on the strip for the fourth (I was there about six years ago and they didn't do anything), but if they do, I would spend the evening at Mix and watch the show.
Thanks for the suggestion what type of lady demographic frequents Mix?
I've always seen good looking ladies in there, but usually I'm with my wife and we go to the restaurant for dinner, and I'm not really paying much attention. But it is a pretty fancy place, so you won't be getting much riff raff in there.
 
Made a last minute reservation to Vegas this weekend. Staying at Mandalay Bay - was going to do the $20 trick at check-in. Staying for 3 nights, is it worth doing $50 instead since it is Memorial Day weekend? WWCD? (What Would Chet Do?)

It won't really matter...if they are booked even $50 is not going to help. If they have some extra rooms the $20 should do the trick.

Yeah they were booked, didn't do anything.Regarding Tao, if we go there for dinner at say 9PM, maybe just sit at the bar (if we can get seated) if we hang out long enough, are we considered in "the club" or is it a separate space and entry process (line, etc..)? It is just me and my buddy do we have to make reservations or can we just walk in, like I said we are fine eating at the bar. We ate at StripSteak last night in MB, good stuff, awesome sides, steak was just so-so, I got the Kansas City Strip, not enough meat on it for my liking (and for the price).Having a good run, won $800 in craps last night, another 275 on Barca, and letting the Barca bet+winnings ride on Red Sox @7:30 (EST).
 
had about 3-4 winning sessions in craps (unheard of I know)

The jojo "system":

Pass line, full odds, no hedge on come-out roll.

place 6 & 8 for 2x minimum (so 30 on a $15 table)

1st two hits, same bet

3rd hit, buy 4 (or 10) for 25

4th hit, buy other for 25

1st hit on 4 or 10, toss in 26 to press it to 100

2nd hit on same 4/10, take it down for $295

start playing hardways for 5+1 each & 5 on the pass for dealers once table gets hot

do you get a higher rating for playing craps drunk? It's 10AM vegas time, still drunk.

Anyone have any deals for Cirque Du Soleil The Beatles LOVE for the weekend of June 16-20?
Search this thread for "Patty". Guru talks about her the last page back in his big post. She is some sort of insider for Cirque and she can get great tickets for any of the shows for under face. I used her last fall.
 
I was under the impression that things were bad in the USA. I just tried to book a hotel room in most of the major 5 star hotels for the weekend of June 25th and most of them are sold out.

Vegas still gets packed on most weekends I believe. Very quiet during the week though.
 
Gonna cash in a 3 night comp at the Wynn, was going to go in July but I promised I'd take the kids to Disney. Hopefully we have a football season, planning to go out for week 1.

 
Took my wife once...almost ended in divorce.

Heading there soon for annual guy trip. Staying at aria playing golf and craps for 3 days. Always a good time.

Thanks will be contacting her.Anyone here see the LOVE? Also recommend a good section to sit? I find if you sit too close you don't get to see the whole stage/vision.
 
Oh yeah, used the hookup from this thread for O tickets too (thank you to whomever posted - think it was Judge Smails, but not sure right now). little story....bought the tickets about a week or two before the show. tickets were at the concierge desk the day before the show. Well, when I went to the show, showed them my tickts, they scanned them and there was a problem, told me I needed to go to the counter. :wall: Guy at the counter told me the tickets had a problem, asked me where I got them, etc... :wall: At this point I figured I had been scammed, so although I was slightly peeved, I figured I'd give me girl a text/call and see wtf was going on. 5 minutes later, got a call back and she apologized profusely and asked me if I could go back and ask for so and so and I'd have new tickets waiting for me. Went back, before I get to the counter, a nice young woman asks if I'm mr. guru, I said yes, and she hands me two new tickets. Okay, walk to the door, and they work this time, no problem, like 6th row, dead center, awesome show. After this trip, I think I'm officially old. 6 days is probably more than I should go anymore, I'd should probably stick to 3 day trips :bag:
Can you help me with a link? This thread is huge and Id like to (maybe) see O with my wife when we go in September.Thanks and glad you enjoyed.

Saw it last year and it was very good. The way seating is arranged, there are no bad seats. Everyone is positioned as to achieve full view. If you like Beatles music and acrobatics, you will enjoy this.

Agreed, the seating is excellent there all around. For some of the other Cirque shows I'd recommend being in the middle and up a bit (not balcony high, but the highest mid-level spot). So much stuff going on that you might miss some of it if you're too close (Mystere especially).
 
Just booked for a 3 nighter Sept 16th-19th. 2nd Weekend of NFL Season...hopefully they will get the deal done by then.

Flights...usually the sooner the better. Hotels...might be the opposite if its a down time for them, but you won't know that until the beginning of Sept.

If you are a Costco member. Go to costcotravel.comHaven't seen any other place get close. Hell, it's worth the $50 membership fee to book a trip, you'll save that on your first booking.just booked 3 nights with air at the Wynn for $380pp. Same trip on Expedia was $526
 
I just got back from visiting over Memorial weekend. I stayed at Caesar's and it was so so. Our room was good, but staying in the Palace Tower was a hike especially after we booked the Augustus Tower which was in the front.

I will be staying at Cosmopolitan next time. It is opposite side of Bellagio from Caesar's. Loads of talent there all hours of the day. Still love visiting the Bellagio during the day and yes it still has imo the best sports book around.

Ran into Kevin Durant at the Wynn. He nearly ran right into me as I exited the cashier line. I shook his hand and said, "What's up dude?" :bag: Had a few drinks in me at the time.

Had a really good craps run at the Palms. Also did well at Mandalay Bay. Nothing really to brag about at any of the others.

Also, had dinner at Trevi's in Caesar's and it was spectacular. If you are looking for a good meal, but not looking to break the bank Trevi's is a good spot.

peas.

Have you ever stayed at Paris. Are CP and Paris equal? I may have to stay at one or the other to play their golf courses next time out there. I've stayed at Paris once and thought it exceedingly average, but passable.

I've stayed at Paris. I guess CP is a little better (but not by much), but wouldn't mind staying at either of them. The room was bigger at CP and the pool is a lot better. I like gambling better at Paris. I think if I could have gotten in the front tower at CP, I'd be a lot higher on the place. By the end of the weekend, the walk to the back of the property was pretty annoying.
