Best hotel for people in their mid twenties?

[gmen82]

So I am looking at the following hotels, as these seem like the most suited for our "age group" (according to the forum). We like to party, meet new people, and have a good time. Pool parties are a must. Not looking to break the bank, but want to stay at a decent place. Any suggestions? Are we better off staying at a place like Bally's and using the savings for bottle service/pool? We have 3 people total.


PH
Mirage
MGM
Ballys


Thanks,
Chris

Your hotel is your place to sleep and get rest. You dont have to be in a specific hotel to party. Theyre all fairly close to each other so you can hop on to the hotel next door to do your thing. So pick what fits your budget and work with that.

As far as the age matched hotel for you. I would say PH and Cosmo have the best young overall vibe to me. But that doesnt rule out half the other hotels on the strip. All the other hotels accomodate for the younger crowd as well as mixed age groups.

Thanks for the reply. The Cosmo is a bit out of my range, but I would like to stay as close to the middle of the strip as possible. That's why I was targeting PH, Ballys, and The Mirage. I've heard good and bad things about Ballys. Any opinions? Specifically the Jubilee Luxury Room.

I've stayed at The Jockey Club (yes, its a real place on the strip) and it is awesome. For the fact that the room isn't much more than a little crash pad the place is perfect, and for 3 people a 1bedroom there would work.
It is tucked between the Bellagio and Cosmo... Cosmo built around it on 3 sides so it is pretty hidden.

Pros -
* Cheap - we stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1500 Ft^2 place with a full kitchen and living room for $1100 for 7 nights. One bedrooms are obviously cheaper.
* Location - dead center of where you want to be on the strip
* We were able to go from our 6th floor room to actually walking on the strip in about 60 seconds... no other property would come close to that
*Direct elevator to the Cosmo casino floor
*No casino on site (quieter and no smokey smell)
* Kitchen / Living room allows for pregaming, being able to save/eat leftovers, and an area to get away if someone needs a bedroom for some alone time.
* The view (See below)

Cons -
* No on site casino (but direct Cosmo elevator)
* Not as big and flashy as most strip properties
* If you get a cosmo side unit, your view will consist of a big brick wall

Most of the rentals here can be found from sites like VRBO waaaaay cheaper than going through the JC's website.

Here is where it is located:

I like PH. I'm a fan of the Casino vibe for people in their 20's.

I have stayed at all 3 centrally located and I would run with PH but.....if you are really only looking for a crash pad and want really centrally located I would also look at Harrahs. There is a tram (buy the 24 hour pass) that runs up and down that side of the strip which worked for us when we went to MGM to meet people while there in July. 18 of us stayed at Harrahs in July and it worked out well as our age range was 24-44 for this trip.

PH the rooms to me were a little dark and tight and money wise you can probably get 2 queens for less than what you could get at PH. I don't consider PH really centrally located but then again the tram access will nullify that.

Just a thought.
