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 the hotel’s 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 Caesars Palace, Bellagio, 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 and Monte Carlo hotels 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. Caesars, Wynn, The Venetian, and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. The Flamingo, Ballys Monte Carlo, and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more. So to get a lower rate plan to go to Vegas on 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, and Monte Carlo hotels have a wave pool and a lazy river for tubing or body floating. The MGM hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall. The pools at Caesars and Bellagio are good because they have multiple pools and plenty of places to sit. Caesars even has a topless pool areas called the VENUS POOL.
I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Caesars, 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 on the Strip.

Late September and October are good times, also April and May are great. The weather at these times are perfect. Not too hot or cold. The Flamingo HIlton is nice. It's moderately priced. Also the Las Vegas HIlton, Strasosphere, Circus Circus.

i went there in november and it was in the 50s and the room prices at the belagio where in the $200 range and up. I went there in july, really hot 105 at night, but the room prices were incredible. belagio was around 100 and I stayed at the stratosphere for 25 a night in a suite. but if you can break for the belagio, stay there and get a lake front room. the beds are the best and the view is great. but you won't spend much time in your room becuase you will be site seeing and shopping. :)

Go to Expedia.com and research different dates. You will soon find there are some weeks where the rates are down nice and low. They will also list all the hotels and you can read reviews of customers who have actually stayed there. You should be able to find something that fits your budget.

Ocotober or November is good. Imperial Palace is reasonable, it's on the main strip, and is huge, with several restaurants, big casino. It's an older hotel that's why it is less expensive

i was there in july and everyone over there says october is the best time to go since it's not that hot. for hotel, not sure but they have so many with casinos like mgm grand and are like $200 a night and the rooms suck. so it depends on what your looking for, big pool, casino etc.

don't go in the summer time way to hot, i would go maybe in the spring, or check the weather channel to see the up dates. and for a nice hotel we always stayed at circus circus very clean, good food.

I normally send all of my clients to the Stratosphere, or the MGM. I have a couple going to the MGM for a weekend in December for $266.00 including roundtrip transportation.
I would love to help you with this trip.
