Vegas - where to stay

[GeorgeD]

Airfare is down, so I'm thinking about a trip to Vegas for a few days. Wondering about good places to stay. Don't need a 5 star, but my wife will be coming and she won't appreciate being in a dump. Can I find anything decent in the under $150 range... near $100 would be nicer. A suite would be nice. We'd probably want to stay near the strip even if we go downtown to play (she won't play over $5 mni.)

Also how's the weather through the Fall/Winter?

The Signature at the MGM Grand has rates of about 149 last time i checked for a junior suite. I think you also get $25 food credit as well if you check out the promotions on their site.
I'm staying at the Planet Hollywood casino resort in a week and a half and got an 89 dollar a night rate with AAA membership.

IIf you don't mind staying a block or two off the strip,the non-casino Wyndham Grand Desert usually has huge suites with kitchens for about $100 a day if you book the whole week.TI,Luxor and just about any Harrahs property go for under $100 Sunday thru Thursday.

Thanks guys. All good suggestions.

I'm also looking at The Jockey Club. Looks nice, no casino. Think I can get $170 per night for a 1br suite min 3 days. A block off the strip near the Bellagio.

Jockey Club is all right,Grand Desert is much nicer.$170 a nite mid-week is no bargin.

Check hotels.com or travelocity to get an idea of room prices, then go to the hotels themselves and check the prices.

Motel 6 is real cheap
maybe Palace Station, maybe you can say hi to OJ!

try your airlines travel packages as well. I just hit Vegas last week of august, 4 nights at Mandalay Bays theHotel luxury suites with air (2 people) from minnesota for $1000. Because of the wife of course, they have a sweet beach for those non gamblers.

I'm at the Wyndham now, and it is certainly first class. I got here by trading in a timeshare I own in Florida. This is my third visit to the Wyndham, and except for the fact that I enjoy trying out different spots, I'll be back here again I'm sure. If you don't have a car (almost an absolute necessity in my opinion) they do have a shuttle to Harrah's which is central to the strip. Also, you can walk to planet hollywood, and other casinos just a bit farther from there.

You are supposed to (at least) get your room on comp. No more of this Wyndham sh*t! zg
