Booked a 3 week holiday in California next year.. including Vegas. Have done a similar trip before - August-Sept time, and unsure where to stay in Vegas. Stayed in the Platinum last time, which was great and reasonable value, but a lot of the better-known hotels are coming up cheaper (Stratosphere for ~£20 a night, MGM for £30 a night), but after my review-hunting last year a lot of them came up as fairly old and tired. What's the consensus on the top + reasonable hotels in vegas lately? Am i still better off going with the newer and tried/tested platinum?
