choosing the best hotel

thinking of planning a trip to las vegas from Scotland in the united kingdom.obviously this will require a fair amount of cash and have just read a review about the bellagio having stained carpets in one of its suites,this is a bit scary as i imagined that everything would be gorgeous, any advise from anybody on choosing the right hotel.

choosing the best hotel

Depends what you want to do. Venetian is my favorite, every room is a suite. But it%26#39;s towards the end of the strip. If you want to be right in the middle of the strip, Paris is the nicest. Ballys is right next to it, and they are connected. Ballys is not as nice, but cheaper. If you want to be in a ';hip young crowd'; with tons of sexy people (vegas is packed with sexy people, but some places are just sexier), Palms has the packs of hotties. But it%26#39;s off the strip. Hard Rock is much cheaper than Palms and has had a similar vibe everytime I%26#39;ve been there.

thanks uclakid,think i will stay away from the sexy parts of town,i want to return home with my husband,dont want some sexy stealing him.........

rosquet, what do you plan on using the room and facility for? What age group do you want to be around? Most people put way too much effort is selecting a hotel.

vegashomeboy.thats a good question coz we couldnt make up our minds about how much we should spend on accommodation.could spend a lot of cash on a really nice suite and end up not spending to much time in it,but i would like a bit of luxury.we are both in our thirties by the way.

Hi,

We stayed at the Bellagio last year %26amp; absolutely loved it. We booked the Lakeview room %26amp; are doing it again this year (leaving Mar. 27). I am extremely fussy %26amp; did not have one complaint. I find it hard to believe that there were rooms with problems as we saw housekeeping steam cleaning the carpets on our floor as people checked out (or at least that is what we assumed). Matter of fact we both commented on the fact that the room still had a ';new'; smell to it.

The rooms are gorgeous - elegant but understated. And the bed is the most comfortable bed I%26#39;ve ever had the pleasure to plunk my fat arse. I can%26#39;t rave enough about this hotel. The pool area is spectacular - 6 pools in a garden setting. We really enjoyed spending time there - it was pretty quiet (and cooler) last year.

Now we tend to stay mainly at the Marriott/Renaissance when we travel so I%26#39;m not sure if you are a Four Seasons/Ritz Carleton hotel type how the Bellagio stacks up with that type of luxury hotels.

We have stayed at Paris %26amp; really enjoyed it but it paled in our opinion to the Bellagio.

We will be staying at the Venetian as well this coming trip %26amp; I will be posting when we get back - probably the first week of April.

This is just my opinion for what it%26#39;s worth. Hope this helps.

I have stayed in suites in both Bellagio and Venetian. The Bellagio is a step above the Venetian in all aspects, but I really enjoyed both hotels equally. Our suite at the Bellagio was perfect in every way, and the staff was incredible. I have stayed in both a Prima suite and a regular suite at the Venetian, and these were beautiful as well. I don%26#39;t think you%26#39;ll be disappointed in either one.

What about the new Wynn hotel? Its website is up and running now, and I%26#39;ve booked it for future stay.

thanks pignacious,i thought the bellagio looked great,nice to get a reply confirming that it really is as nice as it looks,so how posh is it,i like nice things and i suppose im a wee bit fussy but i cannot stand pretentious crap and snobbery,is it a nice place without the above.

thanks vegas traveller,will look at wynn.

Hi Rosquet,

I am with you all the way on the snobby crap. In October we stayed at a Westin in San Fran %26amp; it was just dripping. Didn%26#39;t ruin our vacation but sure p%26amp;ss%26#39;d me off. We did not run into that at all at the Bellagio - at least it was not noticeable. I mean if you stay at any 5 star hotel I guess it is always possible.

Oh couple of things. If you are looking for nightlife the Bellagio is pretty tame. They have a couple of bars with good bands (free with 2 drink minimum) but not a Vegas-wild kinda hotel.

Just to add to previous - hubby is pretty frugal guy. Not big at paying $$$ for a hotel. Gave as a Xmas present last year %26amp; his idea was it%26#39;s going to be really nice to stay at Bellagio once. Now he cannot imagine staying anywhere else. He%26#39;d rather spend a day less in Vegas %26amp; book the Bellagio.

-Chris

thanks again chris,think we will definately have at least 2 night at the bellagio and sample a couple of others as well.
