comp rooms..which hotel to choose?

[GNY91]

So i have never been to vegas before but play at the harrahs in atlantic city. I have been going thru some of my comps thru harrahs for hotels in vegas.

We are 6 guys between 23-26

we were originally just going to stay at the mgm

but here are some hotels where i could stay basically for free or very cheap:

flamingo
imperial palace
paris
rio
bally's
caesers (more exp a room cost me around $560 for 4 nights)
planet hollywood
harrahs

just wanted to get some input from you guys since i do not know a lot about some of these hotels in vegas

thanks!

well if caesars isnt comped then id go with PH. second would be paris in terms of rooms, but the crowd there is alot older. PH has more of a "hip, young" vibe to it

[GNY91]

yea i can get a PH hip room for $100, that might be my best bet, if not prob just going to spend the money and stay at MGM. Its my first trip to vegas and want to do it right

I'd suggest PH over MGM. It's right in the middle of the action. MGM may not look like a long walk to the places you'll want to be but it's a long damn way to the Bellagio/City Center area.

ph is not better than caesars (assuming you get anything better than their lowest room - which, in that case, yes ph is better). ive stayed at all those except harrahs and rio.

caesars > ph > flamingo (only if you book the newer rooms - i think they're the "go rooms") > paris (unless youre booking the red rooms and above, then these rooms are nicer than flamingo's) > ballys (book the newer tower cause the older tower rooms are VERY dated) > rio > harrahs > imperial (probably wouldnt want to stay there now since they are right in the middle of the linq construction so there will be noise and dust)

Agree. I would have Harrahs higher than I.P. that is for sure.

PH has Earl's of Sandwich, so it beats everything. Just go with PH, it's a great hotel, good location.

Somehow I ended up staying at PH or PH Towers on 7 separate trips in the last two years. It's one of the better 4 star hotels out there. Stayed at the Venetian last trip, and looking forward to Cosmo in May.

Also, I agree with whoever said Harrah's over IP. There's a lot of construction going on right now at IP and you can't really walk directly to the hotel from the strip.

Is the walking from the room to the strip as bad as some people have made it out to be with the shops?

Takes about 7-10 min to walk from your room to the strip. There are a few shortcuts to save time depending on which way you're trying to go.
