Vegas hotel help please

Try the prices at the Monte Carlo, it's a decent enough place. Don't
take the kids to the Trop unless you hate them. Luxor should be ok too.
Thumbs up to the Palms (already mentioned) but it means that your daughter
will be walking around the pool 98% naked like the rest of the girls.

If you are rated elsewhere, you may want to talk to a host about at
least coming in on casino rate. The kids may be easy to please, but I
would go with Luxor over the Trop. The trop has been on an on again
off again demolition watch for years. The Luxor rooms are OK, though
it has been years since I've stayed there. Tower rooms are/were
superior to Pyramid rooms, but Pyramid rooms had the odd attraction
of... well being housed in a freaking pyramid. It is a huge and
passable midrange hotel on the South end of the Strip. If you want
center Strip, Bally's would be a good midrange option, but none of the
wow factor of a themed hotel. Nice big rooms. Monte, Flamingo and
NYNY are other midrange options.

Hard Rock and Palms for the Kids and the MGM is not far behind although
not as loud

I was their age more than a decade ago...but I would still prefer Palms (off
the strip but worth it), Rio (off the strip but worth it), Mandalay (end of
strip, great crowd, great pool ) , Paris (mid strip connected to Ballys),
Ballys (mid strip, connected to Paris), Caesars (mid strip), even Flamingo.

I went to Vegas for the first time 1 year ago and stayed at The
Signature at MGM Grand. It was by far the nicest hotel i've ever
stayed in. True luxury...42 inch plasma TV, in room jacquizzi,
balcony, kitchenware and a kitchenette, 1/2 size fridge (bigger than a
small box one), and a few actual pieces of furniture - full sized desk/
table, 2 chairs, 3 small nightstands, and above all...that new room
smell.

The rooms are all non-smoking and the place has only been there for a
year and a half, it's pristine, friendly staff, free newspaper in the
morning (Usa today..but hey it's free) They also have a brand new
exercise room with free fresh fruit and water, a Starbucks, a very
nice pool area and hot tub (smallish...but you have access to all the
pools @ MGM which are pretty impressive). It's RIDICULOUSLY nice
like...i stayed there for 7 days and i still wasn't adjusted to how
nice everything was, i was finding more things i liked about the room.

It's a seperate hotel than the MGM but there's an air conditioned,
motorized walkway. It is about a 1/3 mile walk to the floor area of
the MGM casino, but it's well worth it. I sound like an infomercial, i
know...but this place promised big and delivered bigger. This memory
of this place is etched in my mind. Oh, and they pump subtle scents
into the place. I swear it smelled like a fresh grapefruit had just
been sliced somewhere in the hotel all the time. It was a little more
than staying at say...Monte Carlo or some place like that, but i saw
one of those rooms and it was just like a holiday inn...barely above
run of the mill.

I rarely rave about anything...stay at this place if you can.

My friend and I are both 25 and loved this place, it's top notch and
it's not choked with fanny pack clad folks or other forms of
undesireables.
