The Blue Board

Best price and best location is Treasure Island... However, it's not very nice (hence the best prices).

My favorite hotels are the Palazzo (on strip) and Cosmopolitan (City Center not Strip, but GREAT hotel with great food and club and very close to strip), both reasonably priced as well, but not as cheap as Treasure Island.

Stayed in Mandalay Bay all last week, and it was alright, better and much more expensive than Treasure Island, but not nearly as good as the other two, and not as good a location as any of them.

looking to spend 400 or less. gonna be out there for 5 nights in november for thanksgiving. i've stayed in the luxor but im hoping to get closer to the strip

yes 400 total. i can get in and out of the luxor for 5 nights for around 400 but its off of the strip and theres no refrigerator

Went a month ago and stayed at planet hollywood. If you are a younger person this is the best place to stay hands down.

Stay at the Wynn.. Best hotel in Vegas, no doubt about it, IMO.

Might be to pricey for you though but that's where I have stayed the last 10-15 times i've been there.

Stayed at the Flamingo. Nothing special, but it's a good location and cheap room on the strip

Here is what you do.

Go to the Ceasars/Harrahs web site. Sign up for the "Total Rewards Card". (Its just a slot club card, is completely free.) Then go to the Ballys Hotel site. Book a room on that site, using your total rewards card. If he is staying during the week, his room will be around thirty bucks a night. In addition, Caesars and their properties are the only hotels on the strip that do NOT charge the idiotic and downright criminal "resort fee." that Vegas made up a couple years ago. You will pay an additional 20 bucks a night at other hotels in Las Vegas for that fee.

Here is the link to the reward card sign up. Casars hotels in Las Vegas on the strip include Harrahs, Ballys The Flamingo, Planet Hollywood. Ballys is the best deal of those hotels. HUGE rooms, perfect location and the best rates. Its the overall best deal in Las Vegas.

Really? Why is that? The rooms are bigger. the location is the best in Las Vegas, and the pool is actually deep enough to swim in and you can get some of the cheapest, best rooms on the strip.

If you stay at the Mirage, as you suggest, you are going to get smaller rooms on the far end of the strip for at least twice the cost. The Mirage charges a 20 dollar plus a night resort fee, by the way.

Spend the extra $ and stay at the Palazzo. Lagazzi Stadium is by Far best sports book in the country. Have a beer flight at Public House. And go see O!

Does it really matter where you stay? You won't be spending much time in your room I hope.

I'd suggest staying downtown somewhere.

i have to go every year

my favorite place to stay due to location is caesars. its right in the middle and you can walk everywhere

i've stayed at a lot of the hotels and there is just not a better spot location wise in my opinion
