I went down a long time ago as a kid and will be going back for sure (soon as theres funds) Id personally stay on the strip, theres lots to do there and anything else is a bus ride from the strip. I wouldnt get to concerned about the room, agreed with above, stay in the towers, so much cheaper, rooms are blah but you dont really spend much time in there anyways. sleep during the day when its rediculous hot and go out in the evening/night when all the shows are, lots of the free shows on the strip (treasure island pirates, bellagio water fountain) dont start till 11pm and all are worth a watch. My parents dont even book rooms anymore, they say theres so many rooms on the strip theres no chance there going to get filled and when you book in advance there going to charge you more then if you go down there and grab a room because there always dropping the rates to try to fill the hotels up. 5000 rooms in the mgm alone. Really neat place and lots to do even if you dont gamble.
