I have stayed at Fitzgeralds. It was cheap and fine. Nothing special. Good shower. Noisy air-conditioner. Good location for blackjack twenty years a go. I bet this doesn't help.

You can pick up chickies in the middle of the casino at the bar there. That is what I know about the Hard Rock. Plus all the 18 year old trim pussy out by the pool is very nice eye candy.

is the MGM poker room construction finished? I'll be there on the 15th of August.

I'll be in Vegas in early November this year and looking for a different hotel

Travelling with my partner and we have both been to Vegas before, staying at the Aria which we loved. We are going back but I wouldnt mind staying at a different hotel just for a different experience. The Aria was great but its very clinical, I fear my second time around I'll only like it half as much

My GF has stayed at the B before when she travelled there without me, she liked it but didnt love it. I love the casino floor but have heard you can get stuck a long walk from there.

I love the strip area of Aria/Cosmo/Bellagio etc so I would like a hotel around that area with a poker room that'll have a 2/3 or 2/5 table running 24/7. Any ideas?

I was thinking Planet Hollywood but wasnt really sure, we arent party heads but we'll have a couple of drinks and a laugh. The Aria price range is fine, we dont want to stay in a dive

I thought Venetian but it seems so busy and probably full of familys but theres potential to be swayed there. Everything about Ceasers seems old, can someone tell me otherwise?

Thanks for your help

Never seen 2/3, but 1/3 runs 24/7 in most CEt properties. For 2/5 running 24/7 I bet your choices are Aria, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn. I don't understand your comment:
but have heard you can get stuck a long walk from there with regards to the B.

Well if you want to be in the Aria/Cosmo/Bellagio area and want the quality of that level of hotel, the answer is to stay at Aria, Cosmo or Bellagio. PH is a dump compared to those three, Bally's and Paris are worse, Caesars is in fact too old and ****ty in a million other ways, Venetian isn't in the area. And like Prof said, the rooms on the strip with 24/7 2-5NL are going to be Aria, Venetian, Wynn and Bellagio. Period. Pretty much every room will have 1/2 or 1/3 going all the time.

Why not try the Wynn for a change?

The hotel rooms can be situated a long way from the casino floor (so I've been told). Its just a minor annoyance that I wouldnt like. The Aria you literally walk onto the Casino floor from the elevators (despite a long walk if you get stuck at the far end of the hallway but this is minor)

Thats what I thought but I was hoping someone white knight could come in and remind me of a hotel I hadnt remembered. Interesting on the PH comments, been to Vegas 4 times and never walked into PH for some reason but assumed it was pretty fresh by looking from the outside.

Gave this a lot of thought but havent ruled it out. We are both 24 so the crowd is a touch older than us but we would still fit in. Last time I was there in 2011 it was absolutely dead though, had a real fun sucking vibe. Havent crossed it off though. If it was situated where the Cosmo is I would probably take it in a heart beat. I like being in walking distance to all those surrounding Casinos

Thanks for the help, think I'll toss a coin between the B and Aria after I investigate the Wynn a touch more.

I've stayed at PH and it has been the nicest room I've had in Las Vegas. But I don't like
spending a lot on a room that I only sleep in. I did not like the PH casino much but I'm 55
and your 24. It seem like a good place for the young crowd. When we stayed at PH all the shows and activities we wanted to do were north of flamingo. Thus PH was inconvenient. I would look at what you want to do and see and take that into account too.

OK I have to challenge that one...where else have you stayed? I haven't stayed at PH but have been in one of their nicer suites, and it didn't hold a candle to comparable suites at other places.

I guess you missed that I wrote But I don't like spending a lot on a room that I only sleep in. In particular I've never stayed in anything but a standard room. Certainly never in a suite.

Hotel-Casinos I have stayed in when in Las Vegas are: Main Street Station, Fitzgeralds, Arizona Charlies East, Circus Circus, Sahara, Imperial Palace (Capri building) twice, The Orleans, Bally's and Planet Hollywood.

I think you will have to admit that PH would have the best standard room among these.

FYI pretty sure I got bed bugs from The Flamingo or Aria a couple weeks back

I can't recommend the Wynn strongly enough, particularly with your GF in tow. You'll both love it. I stay in LV for 2-3 weeks at time to play so I go cheaper but always book a couple of nights there just to hang at the pool and experience the luxury. Rooms are flawless and the views amazin.. ANd, imo it has the best poker room in LV.

Stayed in the MGM Signature last week. Lovely suite rooms, rubbish pool area but you got the grands pool 5 min away. Going back in Christmas and gonna try the Aria out next.
