Question

Iam planning on taking my husbad to las vegas the last week in july for a belated 5yr anniv. and birthday gift we plan on staying two nights any suggestions on places to stay on the strip we dont make millions so we need something affortable but still nice and romantic. Also what is the weather like in July

Answer 1

Here's what I suggest ... the Monte Carlo: http://www.montecarlo.com/

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 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 $200 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.

You can probably get lower priced rooms at the Circus Circus, Sahara and Rivera on the north end of the Strip, the Tropicana on the south end, and also at the hotels on Fremont Street. The Tropicana is one of the older hotels that has not been renovated like many others. The other locations will place you a long way from the center of the strip action and you’ll have to take a bus or taxi to Strip action. In addition, if you need to run to the room for a little R&R, it’s a long ways.

Answer 2

The weather will be terrible. I've been to Vegas in July and it was 116-118 every day. Some may say "well it's a dry heat" but if you have to wait for a taxi at the airport or walk from hotel to hotel, that will drain a lot of valuable energy.

Because of this, picking a comfortable hotel that you can spend a lot of time in is crucial. Along with your "romantic" requirement, your best bet is probably Venetian. Much to do without much need to go outside. Two other good options that may be slightly cheaper are Paris and Aladdin. Nice incide and have potential for romance, and plenty to do. Paris has a great buffet and Aladdin has 25 cent martini lunches! They are centrally located so you can get to a lot of other places. Paris is right across from Bellagio and you can see the fountains without leaving your hotel.

Beware recommendations like Orleans, Luxor, Excalibur or any other lower-priced strip hotels. You will just want to leave, and it being July, you will be miserable, or you will throw away on taxi rides a lot of the money you saved on the hotel. Monte Carlo is a nice choice but it is back off the strip some, so if you want to anywhere else you will have to deal with walking in the heat or spending $$ on cabs.

Answer 3

Without a doubt: Mandalay Bay.
#2. Bellagio
#3. The Venetian
If they're too expensive for you, then stay at Paris or Mirage. Have fun!
P.S. Vegas in July is Africa hot!!!

Answer 4

there are various judgements. you probably did no longer point out how a lot you had to spend. the main unique lodge in Vegas is the 4 Seasons. it is quite atop Mandalay Bay. link under. would I propose you besides mght evaluate the Venetian. It has no rooms, in straight forward terms suites. link additionally under. *

AS FAR AS A HOTEL:

All of the Major Casinos are Nice, without a doubt.
