Hi Nicrez,
We have been to LV many times....love it there! We are actually going back again in a month for vaca- can't wait! As far as what hotel I reccommend, it really depends what youre looking for. But, I have to say, we love Bellagio. Its right in the middle of everything, so pretty, great service, shoping, pools, etc. And it not so crowded with kids/families (and I dont mean that in a bad way at all, but I'm sure you understand).
Other hotels that I have stayed in and liked were Mandalay Bay (The Hotel in Mandalay Bay is really cool, its part of Mandalay Bay, but separate, if you know what I mean), The Mirage, Paris, and The Four Seasons, which is actually also in the Mandalay Bay building......The only problem with MB is that it has a wave pool, and b/c of that, it tends to get very crowded with kids and families...One yr we stayed there, it was so crowded, we actually couldnt get a spot at the pool- not even ground space, let alone chairs! It was terrible!
Next month when we go, we will be staying at Bellagio.....We always have a great time there......When are you thinking of going?

Thanks Annette!! I was told Caesar's is a bit on the "Las Vegas over-the-top" side... How about the Wynn? The restaurants are great, but honestly not a huge fan of all the umbrellas on the ceiling. It's OK, but what are the rooms like? The Venetian? anyone know about the Four Seasons?Date: 3/24/2008 11:16:12 AM

Nicrez, 'O' is amazing. If you havent seen it, I highly reccommend getting tickets!! Its awesome! We have also seen 'Ka' and 'Zumanity', but IMO, they arent as good as 'O'.
When we are there next month, we are going to see Cirque's 'Love.' I heard its a great show...so we're looking foward to it for sure!!!!

THE Hotel was also recommended. Anyone weigh in on their stay there?
I doubt you will want to do it as it is off the strip, but the Mariott, http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lasjw-jw-marriott-las-vegas-resort-spa-and-golf is definitely the nicest place to stay; it always gets higher ratings than anything on the strip and having stayed all over, I can swear it is the nicest. I do think that on the strip the Bellagio is the nicest though.Date: 3/24/2008 11:49:56 AM

Great input guys thanks!! I am worried about the party atmosphere. I want something calm and exquisite, and I know it''s possible (even in Vegas)...
I was really hoping to get a place with nice facilities but a really nice room. I am a big fan of excellent thread counts, big tubs and balconies, so anything with a great set-up like that is totally favored. Sure, a great relaxing pool to have ''adult'' drinks by would not be sneered at either!
Take in a show, pool-time, some gambling (and I mean minimal blackjack and slots because I hate gambling) and of course fine dining...
Any restaurants people loved? Four Seasons had a great place, I remember. The steakhouse at the Wynn was fabulous (outside seating was GREAT!) but hoping for something new, interesting...? keep those suggestions coming!
THANKS!!!
Really? That''s good to know for next time! Thanks Vegas Angel!Date: 3/24/2008 12:18:38 PM

^^Venetian & Wynn have very, very nice starter accomodations, I just find Venetian cheesy.
This one is right by my house & you are right it is nice especially if you want to do spa, golf, visit Red Rock, Mt.Charleston without the hussle & bustle of the strip. Only thing I dont like is their Cafe & buffet (Gross) & IDate: 3/24/2008 12:08:19 PM

As for shows, O is the best, but I also really like zumanity.
Next time you are in town & you have time/feel up to it arrange a suite tour at the Venetian. A lot of properties do it. it''s kind of nice if you are curious & want to get an idea of where you might like to stay for your next visit.Date: 3/24/2008 12:21:00 PM

Haven I had one friend tell me about the suites at the MGM, and I think they are rentals of condos, is that correct? So hard to chose, but I really want a nice room, relaxing, but close to the strip to jet over to a show, walk around, and maybe go to Old Vegas where it''s seedy and such for the heck of it... I have never seen it, and i figure it would be fun!
