With location criteria, looks like MGM, Monte Carlo, Excalibur, NYNY, Treasure Island and Flamingo are our best bets. Can anyone elaborate on quality of hotels, entertainment, shopping, table games and poker rooms (or proximity to) of these hotels?
Thanks
Flamingo has some sweet rooms: check out the Fab or Go Deluxe rooms. Great central location on strip. Poker room has 1-2, but within walking distance to 2-5 games. No resort fee. Table games aplenty.
MGM also has sweet rooms, with plenty of poker (both 1-2 and 2-5). There is a resort fee at the MGM. Also, MGM is located at the south end of the strip. Table games aplenty.
Monte Carlo has a tiny poker room . . . NYNY no poker room . . . TI has a tiny poker room . . .
As for the Monorail: there is one that runs from MGM to Ballys to Flamingo to Harrah's to the convention centre. Look for coupons in Vegas magazines. Its not free.
There is another tram between Excalibur-Luxor-Manadalay Bay which is free.
A free tram also runs between Aria/Monte Carlo, Crystals, and Bellagio
Google is your friend. Check out the maps.
Can't go wrong with either MGM or Flamingo, IMO.
