Las Vegas Hotel Opinion

[gmi3804]

Just about every hotel gets bed bugs. It's all but unavoidable with scores of people occupying any given room.

Any suggestions for best family friendly (kids under 12) hotel? Haven’t been to Vegas since before kids were born but they would love to see the Beatles “Love” show.

My 9 year old and husband just spent 8 nights at the Mirage. It was easy for them to walk to find kid-friendly food. And it was convenient for the night they saw the show.

Great! Thank you we’ll check it out. I remember the mall from our last visit, but last time we were there (pre kids) we stayed at the Wynn which was nice, but not really for kids.

If you're visiting with a car the Venetian and Palazzo just added parking fees for hotel guests and for day guests starting in a few days.

Uber and Lyft drivers are refusing to travel on the Strip …
Everything I am stating is in the local news and reported by the locals struggling with travel to their jobs… and the long drive home .
They are in the process of building 4 overpass bridges to detour traffic .

But you're overstating the facts anyways. I've read the news too but it's not demolished. And frankly we haven't really been to Vegas in recent years when there hasn't been construction on the roads on the Strip and yes with high impacts..and I say that as we have a rental car every single time so we're out on the roads.

I know you've said you've been many times to Vegas but I wouldn't really compare the base rates you're seeing. You need to know what the end rate will be with taxes and the resort fees tacked on because those resort fees per night can be pretty high.

According to resort fee checker:
Paris-$52.10
Harrah's-$45.30
The LINQ-$45.30

All three that you listed have parking fees (you mentioned free parking) unless you have status with Ceasars at the Platinum, Diamond and Seven Stars® levels

I would def. recommend eating at Mon Ami Gabi though at Paris. We have a reservation for that on Labor Day

We've stayed at Excalibur, Bellagio, Wynn, Encore. Next Sunday we'll be at Aria then several nights at Encore. The Wynn/Encore property is our favorite though we prefer Encore to the newly renovated Wynn rooms (we stayed at it pre-refurb and liked the old set up). If it were just about ambience and location I'd pick Paris because of where it is at. We found Bellagio to be great for the location but overall not as high in impression as we assumed it would be.

Ok, I want to preface that I'm a Los Angeles native and have been to Vegas many many times. Heck, I got married there years ago. However, there are a lot of hotels I've never stayed at. I'm considering a December trip while I'm off of work and some rooms are $17 right now. Please share your opinions and experiences related to these hotels to hopefully help me make an informed decison:

Harrah's
The Linq (stayed there when it was Imperial Palace but haven't been in the area since)
Paris

A $17 room at Paris! Go for it!

Even with the crazy "Resort Fee" and the paid parking that's a good deal for that place.

I agree. Paris is a lovely resort. Best of that list for sure.

I'm well aware of the resort fees and parking (upon further research I can obtain free parking at at least 2 of these properties) and many things Las Vegas. I'm using one metric for comparison knowing ultimately it will be more but that is the easier figure for me to look at right now. All 3 are in my price range regardless of fees etc...] I don't know why I am justifying things I made the thread and those are the places I'm considering yeesh! No respect.

I've stayed at:
Hard Rock
UNLV dorms
Aladdin
Planet Hollywood
Luxor
Mirage
Excalibur
Vdara
Circus Circus (it was the 90's)
Palms
Orleans
Tropicana
Hooters
Stratosphere
Palazzo
Imperial Palace

So, I've done my fair share over the years. With all due respect of your input and opinions I'm only asking for opinions on the 3 hotels I listed. They're what I am considering so I'd hope that folks could merely respect that and keep it on topic. Thanks.

 

[CoachBeard]

Also, my MO is a quick and easy trip outta town. It is a 4 hour drive for me and I don't spend much time in the room (unless staying at Vdara). I go there to get away, have some cigars, drink some good whiskey, eat some good food, gamble a little, people watch, and forget about home. I'm not married I don't have kids. I don't care about the stuff a lot of folks here seem to because of those reasons. I spend my money on luxury when I go to WDW which I'm doing come January. 3 way split at DVC resorts. Vegas doesn't deserve the same budget.

You don't really sound like you want any help here. The comments you've gotten on the thread from various posters are pretty normal for the question you've asked. People are just trying to offer information and some information like parking at Palazzo and Venetian was just announced (it's expected Wynn/Encore will eventually follow when the Sphere opens up). Your responses are "yes but I know this"...okay well maybe the DIS isn't the best place for this? You seem to know all there is to know about Vegas from your comments so respectfully? I'm not even sure why you're asking strangers for their input.

There's Vegas specific internet forums that are more appropriate considering your responses to posters already on this thread. No worries I'll leave you to it.

I asked about 3 hotels. That's it. Some folks gave good info and I acknowledged their post. Have a look in the mirror before you spew the "know everything" line. I've heard about you... Your replies come off very superior and curt so check yourself. Also, did you read anywhere that I asked about resort fees or taxes? Those are givens in Vegas and my dollar amount mentioned was a general "there are some at $17" The price isn't really a factor I'm considering past the range I've researched so that is why I only mentioned 3 hotels. Not worried about the other costs.

I'm not concerned with parking at Wynn or Palazzo because I'm not going to be staying there. I even said I don't know much about the 3 hotels I listed. It is perfectly reasonable to reject peripheral information or when people don't acknowledge the request(s) made in the OP. So, have a look at your replies and superiority complex, lady.


This is what I asked:
"Please share your opinions and experiences related to these hotels to hopefully help me make an informed decison:

Harrah's

Paris"

Nothing more...

Thank you. General consensus of those who read the post and decided not to just talk about their own experience elsewhere in Vegas, thank you. It seems like Paris is the better choice so far.

C'mon! This is the DISboards! When you ask one question, you have to sift through everyone's experiences everywhere. Remember, you can bring your re-fillable mug back to Aulani and they probably won't say anything.

Seriously, though, I agree that Paris is the nicest (no contest) of the hotels you asked about. Great location too, easy (or easier) walks to Bellagio, Caesars, Cosmo, and Aria. Location, particularly if I'm going to want to walk to other resorts, is always a consideration for me, since getting around town in Strip traffic is getting harder and harder.

Yep, you sure do get a LOT of replies that have nothing at all to do with your question here.

Like you, I stayed at the property when it was Imperial Palace. I've stayed at The Linq only once because the cost is typically the same as Flamingo and I prefer Flamingo. But didn't have a bad experience at Linq.

I stayed at Harrah's once - on a similar deal. I think it was $22 a night in Dec of 2019. I didn't like the hotel at all.

My experiences at Paris have always been great. I like a nice view and those super cheap rates are always for rooms with a bad view - but I'm sure you know that.

Well, we'd rather Caeser properties. (sorry my friend @DLgal ) ha ha. Paris of your choices. Even rode elevator with Steve Harvey and Brandy . If buffet still there, OMG caramel waffles, potatoes, and chocolate croissants made the trip.

I suddenly feel old. We used to go when the Aladdin being built and played Nickle slots with coins at Westward Ho.

And 1.50 sausage dogs and free buffets. But been plenty of times since.

I will say, I have had the best gambling luck in the casinos of Ceasars resorts.

Ceasars properties definitely lean more "old Vegas". I prefer the newer, more modern style resorts personally. The Aria is my favorite.

We like the Aria, but felt like it was a million miles. It's been a long time though. It was brand new.

It is huge and sprawling.
