Decide where I should stay, forum!

I was at Encore last trip which was sick, but they're asking for way more money this time around, so I'm seeing what other options I've got. What other awesome suites are there on the strip? Similar sort of idea as the Encore rooms, no 3-story 5 bedroom affairs please!

Generally I'd look at Aria due to its modern look inside and out, but first you may want to state your budget and suite size. Not sure what specifically you had at Encore.

Say around $300 a night.

Although I found a pretty good deal on the Aria Corner Suites, for slightly under that.

Then I'd go for it. At the same time you'll enjoy the other side of town from Encore, within the new CityCenter. And newly opened Cosmopolitan is next to Aria, looks great and should be nice to visit, plus it might be another possibility in terms of booking. Cosmopolitan should have better views if that's important, overlooking Bellagio Fountains and Caesar's Palace on one side, CityCenter on another. Though I'm not sure if all rooms are fully opened yet and I've seen someone complaining that it feels empty (if that's a bad thing).

Yeah I had a pretty good deal on Cosmo, which I'll do if I decide I want to save some money, but I was reading the review on VegasTripping.com and they didn't seem too impressed with it. I have a feeling compared to the Encore most hotels are going to fall short though. Only negative to Encore is the location, but it's still easy walking distance to the other hotels.

Try the standard room at the Sahara.

Beautiful.

I mostly stay at TheHotel at Mandalay Bay. Its a very sweet 1 bedroom suite with an awesome bathroom, wet bar, ect. I don't know how much the rooms are cause i get comped.

I was pretty impressed with THEhotel when I went for dinner at MiX, although I haven't seen the rooms. I'll check out the pricing, but to be honest the location is a definite negative.

The cosmo rooms are pretty legit!

Location has never been a problem with me at THEHotel. They have a monorail to excaliber and I just walk to MGM grand and I use the monorail and get me a 3 day pass for 27 bucks. If I get out of the clubs late I just cab it to my hotel.
