Monte Carlo is a fair value as well. The gaming isn't as great but last time I went their renovated rooms were pretty nice.

vegas, you gotta read the whole thread.
Abasin.
So much fun to contemplate, joining the PAC just get's better and better.
Sounds good
The pool is critical for baking out the previous nights poisens. And eye candy!
If that's the case, go Tropicana. The talent was incredible there. The only problem is the rooms. They recently remodeled them, and other than the fact that the shower was barely tall enough for someone who was 5'6", my room was ok. However I was in the minority there as everyone else I was there with had horrible rooms. This was over a year ago, so maybe it's better, but just be a little aware there.
And avoid the Excalibur if you're looking for just pool quality. Yikez.
I was there for New Years before and it was warm enough then.
I've also been there in December where it never got warmer than 55.
I was there 3 years ago during one of the colder winters, and it wasn't warm enough. You could get in for a bit late in the afternoon after it had warmed, but it was even too cold for kids in the morning.
Yeah. This is going to be hot tub weather. Not exactly cold, but certainly not warm enough to expect much to be going on at the pools. One thing about the Trop is that they close off part of their pool area in winter to make it an indoor, heated pool. Trop might make the most sense for what people want out of this trip - good pool, lower cost, very convenient.
I'm sold on Trops.
Some of us are not quite ready to live the lifestyle we are owed by our government yet. :smile2: And the pool. I'm seriously not planning on doing much besides sleeping for 4 hours a night at the hotel.
Why stay at a really nice hotel when you will be spending 10 hours a day watching basketball/drinking/gambling/whatever else.
Trops me in on this deal!
because it is easier to bring girls back to your suite at the Bellagio than the super 8 a few blocks off the strip.
Solid point, but I DO NOT bring girls back to where Rugged is lairing. You gotta go to their place, or you have to deal with [REDACTED].
They have six star hotels in Vegas? I'm not sure I can afford that.
Excalibur is a dump. I would recommend any place on the strip over Excalibur. I don't know for a fact, but I've heard from a few people that New York, New York is also trending down.
The Trop has remodeled. Check out their suites: https://res.tropicanalv.com/cgi-bin/lansaweb?procfun+rn+resnet+r15+funcparms+UP(A2560):;DFLTRA;?#
They look pretty nice and everything but the Penthouse Loft is less than it would cost to stay at the Bellagio or Paris.
Plus, we have to pick somewhere that works for a vast majority even though we do seem to have a diverse group. You can always stay at one of the others especially if you have the points or loyalty club level to make it worth it.
not true, some girls have a higher roofie endurance.
The economy has taken a toll on many of the Vegas properties. I could get comped at the Rio and shuttle to the strip. Rio has really gone down and restaurants aren't open 24 hours a day like they used to be. I'm guessing other properties, especially off strip, are having the same problem.
I would stay at Excalibur either.
I would stay at Excalibur either.
Just walking through the Excalibur makes we want to take a shower. I stayed at NYNY 2 years ago, and it was still fun and in good shape.
Same here, about 2 years ago. Rooms were fine, nothing special but I was barely there anyway.
Hopefully this guy is still in business for all of you next year.
