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

    You've clearly never been to Vegas. Unless you're never going to be in your room it does matter. If it didn't Circus Circus would always be booked. lol

    Because Bally's is a dump.

    That is completely and utterly not true. You have obviously never stayed there.

    I have stayed there. It's an absolute dump.

    Where have you stayed besides Bally's?

  • I'm surprised no one's mentioned The Palms. It has a 20 to 40 year old demographic.

    Not on the strip but nice reasonable rooms and some of the best looking women in Vegas hit the clubs there.

    The Palms has changed dramatically in recent years.

    The new cool place for hip and good looking people is the Cosmopolitan. The Palms is turning into a locals casino.

    Didn't know.

    It has been about 4 years since I stayed there.

    Vegas moves fast.

    I lived in Las Vegas for the last four years. I have stayed at every single major casino on the strip, including a stay at Bally's the third week of July this year. I am an EXPERT on these hotels. I did work for AAA for a year on this, from 2010 through 2011.. I know every single hotel in that town inside and out.

    Ballys is in no way shape or form a dump. Their rooms are among the biggest on the strip, and the north tower rooms are all recently renovated, and have better appointments than more supposed upscale hotels like the Mirage, and Planet Hollywood. The south tower rooms are older, and not as nice, but still as good as almost every other place, PLUS they are bigger. Over a 100 square feet bigger than NY/NY for instance.

    Bally's is, right now, by a huge margin, the best deal in Las Vegas. It has a fantastic combination of location, price and high quality rooms.

    You guys trying to give this guy advice, like staying at a money sucking hotel like The Encore, or an aging one like The Mirage, are just cracking me up. Bally's is, at this moment, the best overall deal on the strip in Las Vegas. I defy ANYONE to see one of their rooms, then compare it to any other non suite room on the strip, and not admit that Bally's rooms are in better condition, larger and cheaper than ANY of them.

  • I met Steve Wynn.. One of the absolute nicest people I've met in my life. All of his workers have been with him for over 20 years (Well, most of them) and they all rave about him. He is one of the richest people in Vegas (owns half the hotels there) and he'll come and just talk to the lower level workers and just about everyone that works for him.

    If you stay in the Wynn, eat at "Switch".. Badass restaurant in the Wynn where the entire room, walls, ceiling all changes to a completely different atmosphere every 15-30 minutes.

    I've stayed all over but as I said earlier, the Wynn/Encore is the best hotel in Vegas.

    I'm not sure you should take this so personal. I've stayed at almost all of them too and I would recommend Bally's and Flamingo's. If I'm there on business I stay Venetian, Mirage, etc.
