First, when you look for a hotel in Vegas consider this. All of the big hotels on the Strip are great. The most important things to consider are location, price, and in the summer you want to consider its pool area. So, stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd & the Strip. At that corner is Ceasers, Bellagios, the Flamingo, Ballys, and the Paris hotels. I am not saying you need to stay in one of these but stay close to them. I do recommend the Flamingo if you are looking for a good price, location and pool.
The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). So pick a place that has the best price for you. Ceasers and Bellagios will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. Flamingo, Ballys and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons, summers. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more, so to get a lower rate go Sunday and stay through Thursday night.
In the summer you probably want to spend some time at the pool areas which in Vegas are fabulous. All of the big hotels have great pool areas. But the Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo and MGM hotels have wave pools, and lazy rivers for tubing or body floating. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall.
I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagios, Ceasers, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. Again, all of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web sites, look at the hotel rate calendars, and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place to stay.
Do join ALL of the players clubs because they are your ticket to lower priced return trips. The hotels will email you, or send by regular mail, specials on room rates and shows. The players clubs are free; all they want to see is your driver's license. Get 2 or 3 cards; if you lose it they will give you more

I would not suggest staying at anything less than 4-stars, since hotels in Vegas can be real dingy if you are not careful. Luxor is okay, but some people find it a bit dark and depressing.
I would suggest Treasure Island. It is in an ideal location and has some of the lowest prices when you compare all the other 4-star or higher hotels. My second choice would be MGM Grand. If price is not a factor, Venetian, Bellagio and Wynn would be my top picks.

luxor is 1 people either love or hate. I like it. Live out here. Should stay Downtown as is cheaper but Imperial Palace Or Circus-Circus not too bad on price. Rememeber - hotel room last place you will spend time in Vegas so don't get caught up in "good" hotel thoughts.

I was out in Vegas a few weeks back and stayed at the MGM Grand. Let me tell you, this is one of the cleanest and most professional places I've ever stayed at. Everything you may need is closeby, which makes it nice. But then, they dont call it a 4 star hotel for nothing!!

I've stayed at several hotels there. It's been about 5 years since I've been though. If I were going right now, I'd stay at Stardust again. That's if they haven't closed it already. It's definitely a piece of history. The book Casino was based on the Stardust. I don't know if the movie kept it there or not.

LUXOR!
its really nice. it resembles the pyramids in eqypt and stuff and the best part is the elevator. since the hotel is a pyramid, the elevator is a little slanted so you start to fall over. hah i love las vegas/

The Imperial, it wasn't too expensive and it was in the middle of the strip

Monte Carlo - it isn't the cheapest and it isn't the most expensive. it is a great location and has a great pool, good food, and it smells nice when you walk into the doors. it also has been a lucky place for me in gambling
