Hey guys, been to Vegas twice before. Stayed in the Excalibur and the Luxor.

Thinking of heading back there this year and the choice for hotels for 5 nights is between

New York, New York £590ish
MGM £640ish
Bellagio £720ish

All including flights as well as the 5 nights in the hotel.

Anyone stayed in any of these and would recomend one over the other?

Im inclined toward the MGM as I prefer that side of the strip, nice big place and seems pretty smart when I have spent time in there. New York has a few good bars but has never struck me as the nicest of the hotels and the Bellagio is probably a little to upmarket for a gang of lads from Newcastle who just want to get trolleyed all day with a bit of gambling thrown in :p

So any Vegas trippers who can lend a hand with recomendations?

By staying mid week I am pretty much about to book New York New York for 3 nights for a grand total of £120. With this in mind £600 sounds.. extortionate.

We are paying for an extra 2 nights and its over a weekend which is perhaps why it is that much more.

To be honest we can all afford any of the hotels, its not so much about the money more which hotels are worth the money im paying. If that makes sense? It does to me but I cant think of a way of wording it better :D

And about staying off the strip I would rather pay the money and be on the strip, like to be in where the action is rather than having to do any form of real travelling, even a 5-10min taxi ride as that starts taking organisation skills to get everyone together at the same time and I do too much organising at work so cant be bothered on my jollies :o
 
plenty of places on the strip at good prices though so why stay off strip. Now i would only stay somewhere between Belagio and Treasure Island.

If you are spending a lot of time in your room in Vegas its epic fail.

I hardly seen my room last time. Generally slept between 5am to about 11 then went down to the pool and had a couple more hours kip down there before starting again.
 
Ah im not going till November, could have shared a beer somewhere on the strip :p

Btw dont do the mistake me and my mates did on our last trip and let someone navigate you to the grand canyon who is hungover. We ended up going through Utah and Arizona to get to the Grand Canyon. A 2 and a half hour drive turned into an 8 hour trip there through random hick towns :p was pretty amusing in "I cannot beleive what just happened" way :D

edit: will be trying the $20 trick! Nice little thing to know! :D
