Another Bachelor Party Thread!! Need Advice for Rooms!!

[TheFonz00]

Hey Guys,

I need a little advice/help on finding a room to accomidate 7 people for November 7th - 10th. My budget is rougly $4,000 - $5,000 for the 3 nights. We would like a hotel with atleast a casino, so the Elara would be out of the question. For my budget, what would be some options for a room to sleep all 7 of us comfotably. Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey - i just booked Elara after an INSANE amount of research.

I had the same reservations as you but decided to go for it for 2 reasons:

1. The suites are HUGE. Seriously, compare them to anything else in this price bracket, some of them arent even half as big.
2. The casino is only a few minutes walk away, im taking the money i saved and planning on a big (and hopefully lucky) first night.

Just my 2 cents.

Someone else suggested Vdara or MGM signature for reasonable suites with enough room so you could always look there

I booked a suite at the Elara as well. Price definitely cannot be beat.

Vdara doesn't have a casino. Plus it's smaller and more out of the way in my opinion.

I've read multiple reviews on the Elara regarding people being hit up for timeshares right after they check in. Is there any truth to that?

They're not that aggressive on the timeshare front there, especially when there's a buncha dudes. They target couples more so don't worry about it. I recommend Elara as well.

Let me throw a few wrenches into this mix. I'm going to go non suite, comfort+price to think about for those dates off the properties' websites:

MGM Grand Executive Queens suites are $535 each. They are 675 square feet each with 2 queen beds. Get 4 of those. Cost $535x4 is $2140 + $28/day resort x 3 days x 4 rooms $336 more so subtotal $2476 before taxes. Can possibly go 3 of those and 1 guy grabs 1 of the couches? You have the tram that runs that entire side to get you to other properties.

Aria Deluxe Queen Rooom, 2 queen beds, (stayed here) at $787 x 4 is $3148 plus $25 resort fee x 3 x 4 is $300 more so $3448 before taxes.

If you have an MLife card the rates are lower than the ones on the website I put here.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger and booked the 4 king bed 4 bedroom suite. Has anyone stayed in this particular room yet?
