What is the best hotel in Vegas for a younger couple?

Question

We're looking at the middle of July, all of the rates are much cheaper then. My husband and I are looking at Treasure Island, Ny Ny, and Paris...those have the best rates, $99 a night, for that time frame.

Answer 1

Paris would be a very nice choice, their luxury rooms are nice, the fountain view rooms are a nice added touch and the suites are exceptional. Paris has one of the best locations, a good theme and they carry it off very well. The buffet is way over priced but you're close enough to plenty of other options. One of my absolute favorite spots in all of Las Vegas is Mon Ami Gabi, the sidewalk cafe at Paris, you're only a few feet from the pedestrian walkway along LV Blvd for people watching and in the afternoon/evening you have a great seat for the awesome, Fountains of Bellagio..

I do miss the "French" roulette table, I deal roulette, watching those guys work was like a fiddle player going to a Itzhak Perlman concert.

I have been checking room rates for July 15th-20th & 22nd-27th for someone on YA, the 15th-20th has the lower rates, but his family has decided they all want to go out on the 22nd. He found a very good rate to the Aladdin $80(5 night avg) for a package deal with Alaska airlines from Seattle. This is a heck of a deal. I gave him a couple of options, Flamingo $90 & Barbary Coast $70, all would be great choices depending on the amenities and location a person wanted.

$99(July 15th-18th) for a room at Paris, you found a great deal, you usually only see rates like that in December.

It's a very good sign that the rates are that low for those weeks, it means the hotels have plenty of rooms to sell. Extra rooms means you have an excellent chance to get an upgrade. The $20 trick is a time honored method of securing an upgrade in Las Vegas. At check in, have a $20 in your hand, barely visible to the check in clerk. Ask if he/she has an upgrade available, they are going to say no/can't do that/it will cost you >in which case you can at that time pony up the difference(usually less than when you made the reservation) or she/he will say, let me take a look for you >in which case you're probably in luck. If you get that upgrade, and at the conclusion of the transaction when he/she hands you the rooms keys, you say thank you very much and give him/her the $20 handshake...

Enjoy your trip, you're going to love "Paris", and Las Vegas..

To have found rates like that and to narrow your search down to those three, It's obvious you have done your research. These are my favorite sites to check rates and for LV info.

I went to LV for the first time in 1967 and for the past 20+ years spend 4-6 weeks a year there, I will never get tired of Las Vegas. If you have any questions, send me an anonymous e-mail through YA , I would be more than happy to help. It's fun for me...

Answer 2

If the economy doesn't improve, you will probably be able to get any hotel on the strip for less than $150 on those nights. NO hotel is charging more than that for weekdays right now. Summer rates are still being quoted around the same as last year but that is wishful thinking by the hotels and they are almost certainly going to be coming down. Start shopping after Victoria Day and look for good deals at Bellagio, Venetian, Palazzo, or even Wynn - you will be amazed what $150 can get you in Vegas.

Answer 3

I travel to Vegas about every year, and stay at the same place.
Aladdin, I believe it is actually changing over to a Planet Hollywood one this year though, but that shouldnt change much.

Reason I reccommend it, is :
1) Location, it is Right in the middle of the strip, Across from Bellagio, Near Ceasars etc.
2) There is a TON of shopping on the bottom floor, about 5-6 pretty good restraunts as well.
3) Price, its one of the cheaper hotels actually on the strip.


Id like to add, Personal Experience, I rode ATV's last year through the desert, its was an awesome experience. If you get the chance, I would do it, its a blast!

Answer 4

I would choose NY NY or Paris. In part the final decision depends on what you will want to do. If you do plan to casino/hotel hop, then move down to NYNY which is in a great location. There are some good restaurant choices there and even more next door at MGM.

Paris on the other hand is an excellent choice if you don't plan to hop around.

TI - well, that part of the strip seems to cater to an older crowd IMO.

Answer 5

Wow, that is a good price. All those hotels are good. Of those 3 I would stay at Paris....It's smack in the middle of everything..and has a great breakfast buffet the the French Restaurant which is in the "walkway" <----sorry don't know exactly what you call it. Just ask them where it is...NY,NY has a fun "Irish" type pub in it that is fun...Never was at Treasure Island-- so others can say...

Answer 6

We stayed at the MGM Grand and it was close to everything. All the shows and other hotels. You can book through expedia.com and get the actual rates for a particular date that you are looking for. My wife and I stayed for 10 days for a little more than $1200 and that included hotel, flight, and rental car.

Food is extremely reasonable in Las Vegas with many buffets at all the hotels. There is no limit on where you can go in Vegas as each hotel is open to everyone regardless if you stay there or not.

Answer 7

I loved NY NY when we stayed there last October, but I would also choose Paris if the rates were the same because of its center strip location. TI is farther to the north.

If all things were equal, I would choose Paris.
