The cost factor must be included and the Venetian can be a bit pricey. The rooms are spacious and the endless attractions on the property make this the right destination if you feel like you never want to leave the resort. Palazzo is right next door and is a sister property of the Venetian so you share some amenities. You get it all at these two excellent retreats from your hectic life.

This is possibly the best pool in all of the Las Vegas hotels. It also has some of the best food of all Las Vegas hotels. Have a drink at Red Square or catch a show at the House of Blues.

Wynn Las Vegas is not cheap, however, neither is the Ritz Carlton Kapalua Bay in Maui and we can dream about that place, right. If you think you want it, they most likely have it at Wynn. If you want a vacation where you feel pampered, special, elegant and completely taken care of, you can get it at Wynn. It's the complete package, the ultimate experience. At Encore you get the same customer service with a bit more of a personal touch.
Aria Resort, Vdara Hotel or Mandarin Las Vegas Hotel, they each give you something a little different but they are located right on the strip and within walking distance of each other and all the great options available in Las Vegas. Some of the best food options, nightlife and shopping all in one convenient place.

It's expensive, the food is expensive and the gambling is expensive. If you have the cash, stay here, if you don't, walk through the place and smell the money. If you have money to burn, eat at any of the fabulous restaurants and play no-limit hold em against the pros in the poker room.

The restaurants inside Caesars are incredible and the rooms are still large by Las Vegas Hotel standards. The pool area is huge and they attend to every detail. This is a Las Vegas Hotel the way it should be.

The pool is nice and the rooms are decent and it's a bargain. Best hotel on the Las Vegas strip if you have kids but you don't want to stay at Disneyland like Circus Circus or Excalibur.

I cannot say enough good things about the Paris as it seems as if they try harder to make themselves better than the rest. Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi and then peek out over the Las Vegas Valley from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Courtesy of MGM grandI love to eat and they love to cook. The casino is huge at over 100,000 sq. feet, they have lions in the lobby, great restaurants and they give you $1000 just for checking in. Well, they don't really but it feels like they do. All I would say is that you try to get a room close to the elevator because you could be forced to walk a great distance if not.
